About This Home
Formerly known as the North Country Motor Inn, this property has evolved over the years from a roadside lodging destination to a doctor's office and later multifamily housing. Today, it presents a rare opportunity for redevelopment in the growing Wilmington/Jay corridor. Positioned in a convenient location with substantial acreage, the property offers potential for housing, mixed-use development, or another creative vision, subject to local approvals. While the existing improvements are in significant disrepair and likely beyond practical restoration for their original use, the site itself provides a strong foundation for future investment. Whether you're a developer, contractor, or investor seeking your next project, this property invites imagination and a fresh perspective. With limited housing inventory in the region and continued demand driven by proximity to Whiteface Mountain, Lake Placid, and outdoor recreation, the possibilities are worth exploring for those willing to take on a redevelopment opportunity. Seller is open to listening to all offers.
