This is a rare opportunity to own a historically productive and geologically significant stone quarry in southern coastal Maine. Located in Washington (Knox County), this 110-acre parcel includes a permitted but inactive quarry that produced premium granite, granodiorite, and gneiss — ideal for both dimension stone and aggregate needs.
The Quarry:
Part of the renowned Bucksport Formation, the stone at this site has been used nationally in a variety of architectural, interior, and memorial applications. Products include building facades, slabs, flagstone, countertops, vanity tops, monuments, gravestones, etc.
The former Director of the Maine DEP noted the rock “saws cleanly and takes a beautiful polish,” making it ideal for both structural and decorative use. Its unique color and polishable finish are major selling points for high-end commercial and residential buyers.
Overview:
• 110 Acres with wooded areas, open field, and multiple extraction zones
• Remains in good standing with the Maine DEP
• Buyer will need to re-permit (transfers with property)
• Historically produced dimension stone, but suited for both cut and crushed stone
• Contains decades worth of reserves for future extraction
The parcel also features substantial untouched acreage, offering potential timber value, as well as space for future operational expansion, storage, or resale development.
Business Potential:
• Stone fabricators and suppliers
• Aggregate companies
• Investors seeking long-term returns from a tangible natural resource
• Operators looking to expand into the Northeast stone and construction materials market
With the quarry’s strong historical reputation, high-value stone, and reduced price, this property represents a rock-solid investment opportunity.
