Marketing description
Opportunities like this don’t come around often. This approximately 50-acre former quarry has been thoughtfully transformed into a striking recreational property centered around a stunning 20± acre private lake.
With dramatic terrain, deep water, and a setting that feels miles away from everything, this property offers a rare blend of natural beauty and untapped potential. The current owner has made meaningful progress in improving the site, creating a strong foundation for the next owner to take it to the next level.
The lake itself is the centerpiece—clean, stocked, and surrounded by rugged quarry features that create a one-of-a-kind backdrop you simply won’t find in a typical rural property.
