Attention, investors and outdoor enthusiasts! Here is your opportunity to own a permitted sand, gravel, and specialty rock mining site situated on nearly 84 acres. The current mining area is ~4.5 acres, with much of it already reclaimed and ready for your home, camp, or RV. Under the current mining plan, which includes 17.23 total acres, 12+ acres remain, area that could be opened and mined to generate an income stream.
Access is from Peaseleeville Road, a year-round town-maintained road, with an access road to the mine location that can accommodate heavy equipment, tractor trailers, and dump trucks. At the northern boundary, the property also fronts Strackville Road, which at that point is a seasonally-maintained town road that offers access to nearby State land to the west.
The current owner has removed sand (including septic quality), gravel, and decorative landscape stone, which has been sold locally and as far away as Connecticut. The decorative stone displays a variety of colors and shades, including red, black with metallic flecks, white, brown, and yellow.
The reclaimed, open area of the sand and gravel operation has a height of land that offers spectacular views to the south and east--an ideal spot to site your home, camp, or 5th-wheel to capture those views. This location is well-drained and is set well back from Peaseleeville Road, out of sight, providing privacy and a sense of seclusion.
In addition to providing a blank canvas for your rural retreat, this area offers other opportunities. There is a detention pond at the bottom of the hill which, with additional excavation, could become a great pond for swimming or fishing. The mining pit is also ideal for firearms use, being far away from the road, surrounded by trees, and having a substantial network of berms as a backdrop for target practice.
The remaining ~80 acres is completely forested with future timber potential. It presents unlimited opportunities for managing the property for wildlife with food plots and enhancing recreation by developing interior ATV trails.
There is a perennial stream passing through the property, a great aesthetic feature, with its small cascades and varying flow of water with the seasons. The stream is a tributary of the Salmon River, an important nearby trout stream. Public parking for the Salmon River, a short drive away, allows access along portions of the length of the river.
The property is in a very rural, sparsely-populated area. Neighboring properties are generally large, forested acreages, some with absentee owners. The property is in close proximity to over 5,000 acres of State land, with public access for hunting, fishing, and camping, and is near miles and miles of snowmobile trails.
The property is located just 15 minutes from the Village of Peru, which offers the day-to-day necessities, and the City of Plattsburgh is under 30 minutes away, for your other amenities, as well as the Plattsburgh International Airport. The property is 1.5 hours from Montreal and the Trudeau Airport, 2 hours from Saratoga Springs, and under 5 hours from NYC.
You MUST be pre-qualified before buying a Home.
