History
Alpenwald Village is a planned residential subdivision located on
Southern Vermont between the Towns of Stamford and Readsboro. 10 minutes
from North Adams, MA. Alpenwald Village was originally developed in 1969 by
Patten Corporation who purchased the land for development and sub divided the
land into hundreds of one acre lots and sold to individual owners. (The village was
directly across from the popular and thriving "Dutch Hill" ski area.) In the mid 70's
the economy and markets changed and the "Dutch Hill" ski area closed and
Alpenwald Village never completely finished development.

The year 2002/2003 has brought new growth to Alpenwald Village . With the surrounding areas
like North Adams & Williamstown Mass. Wilmington and Mt. Snow VT ski areas exploding with new
development and population growth. Real Estate has hit a high. Alpenwald Village has become
one of Vermont "Best Kept Secrets" with Real Estate (sitting right between these two market areas)
that is still affordable to build that dream vacation home or primary residence at half the cost.
Your investment in land and building a home will increase in value the moment you make the purchase.

All access roads leading into and around Alpenwald Village have been completed and
provide a maze of dirt roads giving all the lots road frontage and power access to all the
lots for power and telephones. All the roads are maintained year round.

are responsible for maintaining all the access roads leading into and throughout the Village
Area. They have approval of all building and property development of lots and sale or
purchase of lots/homes according to their by-laws. Today, the "Dutch Hill" ski area land
has become part of the "Green Mountain National Forest" which now virtually surrounds
Alpenwald Village and provides a haven for snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, hiking,
and camping. Plus! Nearby you will find boating, white water kayaking & rafting, skiing
(downhill & crosscountry) golf and tennis. Alpenwald Village is only 20 minutes to Mt. Snow
and Haystack ski areas, Prospect Mtn & Hogback Mtn ski areas, Somerset Lake and
Lake Whitingham, and North Adams home of Mass MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art)
