Well Located at 3806 VT-11 in Londonderry, Vermont, Magic View Motel presents a rare opportunity to acquire a classic Southern Vermont lodging property in one of the region’s most scenic three-season recreation markets. Just minutes from Magic Mountain, 10 minutes to Bromley, Viking Nordic Center, and within easy reach of Stratton Mountain Resort, the property is ideally positioned to serve skiers, snowboarders, hikers, foliage travelers, wedding guests, weekend escapees, and year-round Vermont visitors.
The property features an 18-room motel, two apartments, a beautiful on-site 4 bedroom home, a detached garage, and a separate building used as a recreational center.With the current owner retiring after 24 profitable years, this is an attractive value-add opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator, investor, or hospitality buyer looking to modernize the lodging experience and capture demand from the surrounding ski, outdoor recreation, and tourism market.
The on-site home offers flexibility as an owner’s residence, manager’s quarters, or potential short-term rental, while the two apartments provide additional housing or income-producing possibilities. The detached garage and breakfast building add further operational utility and potential guest-service enhancements.
Magic Mountain is known for its independent, authentic Vermont ski culture and “laid-back” atmosphere, while Stratton Mountain offers a larger resort experience with skiing, golf, mountain biking, village shopping, dining, events, and year-round activities. Viking Nordic Center, also located in Londonderry, adds cross-country skiing and snowshoeing demand, further broadening the winter guest base.
Beyond winter, the Londonderry area benefits from classic Vermont tourism drivers, including fall foliage, hiking, cycling, local farms, scenic drives, and nearby attractions such as Lowell Lake State Park and Taylor Farm. Londonderry also holds a unique place in snow-sports history as the birthplace of Burton Snowboards, adding another layer of identity and storytelling to the area’s outdoor recreation appeal.
For a buyer with vision, Magic View Motel offers multiple paths for value creation: refreshed rooms, modernized online booking, Airbnb-style operations, improved direct booking, owner-user management, expanded breakfast or guest amenities, and potential repositioning as a boutique roadside inn serving Southern Vermont’s ski and outdoor recreation market.
With its room count, additional residential components, on-site support buildings, and highly desirable location near major recreation destinations, Magic View Motel is well-suited for an investor or owner-operator seeking both lifestyle and income potential in beautiful Southern Vermont.
