Strategically located just east of the Village at Mammoth—a bustling tourist hub known for its high-density hospitality offerings, restaurants, retail shops, and numerous town events—Mammoth View benefits from exceptional visibility and accessibility.

What sets Mammoth View apart is its unique position as a midpoint between Mammoth Lakes’ primary commercial districts and the Village at Mammoth. Most of the site is situated atop a bluff, providing unparalleled, panoramic views of the Sherwin Mountains and Mammoth Mountain, making it a truly distinctive development opportunity.

Positioned on a knoll overlooking Main Street at the intersection of Mountain Boulevard, just under a half-mile from Mammoth Lakes Village and adjacent to the Viewpoint Condominiums. The property features an upsloping topography along its eastern edge and is divided into two distinct building pads. The western portion is accessible via Viewpoint Road, and the eastern portion is accessible from Mountain Boulevard.

The site is zoned Mixed Lodging Residential (MLR) under the Town of Mammoth Lakes’ updated zoning code, intended to allow one or more of a variety of lodging, residential, and non-residential uses to encourage a mix of uses and emphasize transient occupancy. The zoning permits a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.0, which offers significant development potential. The permissible floor area ratio (FAR) for a particular project or parcel will be affected by applicable design requirements of height, setback, snow storage, parking, and stepback requirements, as well as other development and dimensional standards.

The property benefits from a legacy of varied commercial uses, including restaurants, a motel, and retail establishments, which have resulted in meaningful site improvements. Much of the land has been pre-graded and terraced to take advantage of its commanding views, offering immediate savings on-site work and enhancing the project's development timeline. Existing on-site water and sewer infrastructure may also reduce utility connection fees, providing further cost efficiencies.

The site's varied topography presents a compelling development opportunity. With approximately 80 feet of elevation change across the property, there is strong potential for creative site planning and innovative building design. Elevated structures could be strategically placed to maximize panoramic views, adding both aesthetic and market value.

The natural landscape is another key asset. Mature pine trees throughout the site create a sense of place and identity, while younger trees along the Main Street frontage form a natural buffer that enhances curb appeal and blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment.
A fantastic location allows the subject property to benefit from the robust tourism seen by Mammoth Lakes. More than 2.8 million visitors travel to the city each year, delivering visitor spending exceeding $241 million in 2024. A prime location fronting Main Street and just five minutes off Highway 395 allows the site to be seen by more than 10,000 daily vehicles, allowing future projects to empower themselves with top-of-mind brand positioning in the local market.
