Going straight to the Summit

A team of young entrepreneurs in the United States has come up with the perfect scheme to buy and build their own patch of Eden.

They first persuaded about 50 well-heeled investors to help them raise the reported $40 million needed to purchase Utah's largely untouched Powder Mountain as a place to build a ‘community for entrepreneurs and thought leaders’.

Development is now underway to build 500 single-family sustainable homes, a central village, boutique lodging and amenities on the 7,000 acres of natural wilderness and untamed ski slopes.

“Our goal is to create a place that has a positive impact not just on the residents of Summit Eden and the Ogden Valley, but the state of Utah, and the world”, Elliott Bisnow, the 27-year old founder and CEO of Summit, the group that led the purchase said in a news post on their website.
