River Real Estate

At Sunday River, winter-sport enthusiasts perambulate powdered peaks in the northeast's second-biggest ski resort. A three-hour drive from Boston, Sunday River lures in Bostonians and far-crying New Englanders every winter with its remote beauty, sprawling Maine vistas, uncrowded slopes, and variety of lodging options. Impress highbrow hawk art-critics by carving land art murals into 671 acres of manicured trails, steep slopes, and scenic glades. The 3-mile resort boasts 132 trails, 16 lifts (including New England's only Chondola), and eight mountains. Locke Mountain is tattooed with tried-and-true trails whose earliest runs were cut in the 1950s. White Cap dares danger-wranglers with challenging runs, steeps, and glades and has more pitch variation than a Neil Young B-side. Sunday River's password-protected peaks attract aspiring adventurers and serenity-seekers alike.
