Old Mountain Park is a rare 23.8 acre development and investment opportunity located within the city limits of Winona, Mississippi, approximately 1 mile east of downtown and a couple hundred yards south of Hwy 82. Formerly operated as Old Mountain Outdoor Adventures, the property combines the natural beauty of wooded hillsides, open meadows, and elevated long-range views with existing buildings and infrastructure that could provide an excellent foundation for a new business or development. Note: All aerial cables and platforms will be removed.
The property is ideally suited for a vacation rental park, short-term rental cabin development, RV park, campground, outdoor hospitality destination, wedding and event venue, retreat, or a combination of these uses. Two one-room log cabins are already in place, along with a pavilion containing two bathrooms. The property also features graveled parking areas, established gravel paths, and scenic hillside wooden decks and staircases. These existing improvements allow a new owner to build upon an established recreational setting rather than starting with completely undeveloped acreage.
One of the property's greatest advantages is that city water and city sewer are already on site. The availability of municipal sewer is a significant development benefit and could allow substantially greater development density and flexibility than a property dependent on individual septic systems. Subject to applicable city, zoning, permitting, engineering, and other governmental approvals, the existing sewer infrastructure could make it possible to add numerous cabins, cottages, RV sites, or other facilities as the property is developed.
There is also plenty of room for expansion. An open meadow along Old Mountain Road and Old Highway 82 provides an attractive and accessible area for additional development, while the wooded hillsides offer privacy and a natural setting for cabins, trails, and outdoor recreation. Higher on the property, an upper meadow provides long-range views that are unique for the Winona area. This elevated location could make an exceptional homesite, a site for additional cabins or cottages, or an inspirational setting for weddings, retreats, and other special events.
The location offers an appealing balance of accessibility and seclusion. Guests could enjoy a scenic retreat while remaining only minutes from downtown Winona and with convenient access to Highway 82 and I-55. With relatively few short-term rental accommodations available in the area, there may be an opportunity to serve an underserved lodging market. A new owner could potentially take advantage of the existing cabins and infrastructure while gradually adding additional cottages or other accommodations to create a distinctive short-term rental destination.
Old Mountain Park offers much more than 23.8 acres of land. It offers a head start on creating a unique destination property, with existing cabins, a pavilion, utilities, parking, paths, decks, recreational improvements, open meadows, wooded hillsides, and exceptional views already in place. Whether your vision is a boutique cabin retreat, short-term rental community, RV destination, wedding venue, outdoor hospitality business, private estate, or a combination of uses, Old Mountain Park presents an opportunity to take an established recreational property and transform it into something truly special in Winona, Mississippi.
Bring your vision to Old Mountain Park and build on what is already here.
All proposed uses and development potential are subject to verification and approval by the City of Winona, applicable zoning regulations, permitting authorities, and other governmental agencies.
