The 174-acre property, situated in the Bear River Mountains just east of Richmond, features established ski operations alongside significant potential for residential or lodging expansion.
Development and Lodging Potential
The property is positioned between the 44,523-acre Mount Naomi Wilderness and 14,484 acres of state land, overlooking Cache Valley. According to a real estate listing on Zillow, the offering is intended to represent the next chapter for the resort rather than its closure, with current operations expected to continue.
Strategic Location and Access
The listing highlights several infrastructure assets that support future growth. The site includes existing entitlements and the potential for developing more than 15 rooms of incidental lodging, as well as multiple opportunities for single-family home development. The resort is serviced by city utilities and maintains year-round access via a county road.
Established Ski Infrastructure
The resort's location offers proximity to regional transportation hubs, sitting just 15 minutes from Logan Airport and approximately 1.5 hours from Salt Lake City International Airport. The property is situated 3.7 miles from downtown Richmond and roughly 15 miles from Logan.
Terrain and Winter Features
The winter operations at Cherry Peak include more than 200 skiable acres and approximately 29 to 38 runs, depending on seasonal configuration. The resort features three triple chairlifts, a 500-foot magic carpet for beginners, and a terrain park. The vertical drop is recorded at 1,265 feet, with a base elevation of 5,775 feet and a summit reaching 7,040 to 7,050 feet.
Year-Round Event Venue
The resort's terrain is divided into different skill levels: 37% beginner, 47% intermediate, and 16% advanced. Additional winter amenities include a snowmaking system, night skiing capabilities, and a five-lane tubing hill. The property also features ice skating and rental and ticketing operations.
Summer and Event Operations
A central feature of the property is a 15,784-square-foot, three-level lodge designed for multi-season use. The main level supports daily resort operations, while the second level features dining and porch access overlooking the ski hill. The third level provides space for weddings, receptions, concerts, retreats, and private events, including a ballroom, bridal/green room areas, and prep space.
Agent and Listing Details
Beyond the winter season, Cherry Peak serves a summer destination with mountain biking trails that extend toward the Mount Naomi Wilderness. The property is characterized by its connection to Cherry Creek Canyon and the surrounding backcountry. The resort has also hosted summer activities, such as a 2026 summer concert series running from June 12 through August 29.
