The Offering

$1,250,000 USD

Asking price for the real estate and mineral rights. Raw-land comparables support approximately $692,600 of the price on land value alone — the balance reflects the quarry, which is fully permitted.

Flexible deal structures

We are also open to alternative structures, including:

  • Purchase + retained royalty
    Base purchase price for the real estate, plus a seller-retained, fixed-term production royalty on stone extracted from the property.
  • Lease with purchase option
    Operate the quarry under a lease with a defined path to acquisition.
  • Trial operating agreement
    Short-term operating arrangement to validate the resource and economics before committing.
Investment Highlights

Long reserve horizon

Less than 20% of the property has been historically quarried, leaving decades of exploitable reserves.

Premium dimension stone

Granite, granodiorite, and gneiss that saws cleanly, takes an excellent polish, and shows distinctive color and pattern.

Multiple end markets

Serves both dimension-stone (hardscape, cladding, memorials) and aggregate (base, riprap, fill) buyers.

Operating platform in place

Three drainage ponds and a working footprint reduce start-up capex for the next operator.

Expansion potential

The 108.9-acre parcel supports meaningful growth and additional development.

Land value support

Raw-land comparables underpin $692,600 of the asking price, making the real estate easy to finance in a purchase with royalties agreement.

Geology & Stone Quality

Bucksport Formation granite with proven finishing character.

The property sits within Maine's Bucksport Formation, producing granite, granodiorite, and gneiss suitable for both dimension-stone and aggregate uses.

“Saws cleanly, takes an excellent polish, and exhibits distinctive colors and patterns.”

Assessment attributed in the source materials to a former Director of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.

Historical extraction has been limited, leaving the majority of the resource in place for the next operator to define through targeted diligence drilling.

Operating Platform

The site includes three drainage ponds and a working footprint on a 108.9-acre parcel — infrastructure that reduces mobilization time and start-up capex for an incoming operator.
