1. Where to Search for Quarries for Sale

– Local Real Estate Agents: Contact agents specializing in land or industrial properties.

2. Key Considerations When Buying an Abandoned Quarry
– Zoning & Permits: Ensure the land is zoned for quarrying or your intended use (e.g., redevelopment, recreation).
– Environmental Liabilities: Old quarries may have water-filled pits, unstable slopes, or contamination issues.
– Access & Infrastructure: Check road access, utilities, and proximity to markets if reopening the quarry.
– Water Rights & Mineral Rights: Verify if these are included in the sale.
– Future Use Potential: Some buyers repurpose quarries into reservoirs, event venues, or parks.

3. Example Listings (Check Current Availability)
While I can’t provide live listings, past examples include:
– A 50-acre abandoned granite quarry in Vermont listed at $2.5M.
– A limestone quarry in Texas sold for redevelopment into a lakefront community.
– Small abandoned slate quarries in Pennsylvania available for private use.

4. Alternative: Leasing Instead of Buying
If purchasing isn’t feasible, some owners lease old quarries for filming, fishing, or rock climbing.
