This is a first class stone quarry operation which pumps out a beautiful stream of high grade gneiss stone, so indispensable for the building trades in constructing patios, steps, walls, chimneys, and every place beautifully ad naturally colored building stones are needed. The next owner of this business will of course be buying a highly profitable and proven going concern. However, the next owner will have seen the monumental opportunity in the $168,000,000, in unmined, and yet very minable stone as attested to by the attached professionally prepared geological report. Complete with $1.5 M worth of meticulously maintained equipment and an immaculate stone cutting shop, this offering spells opportunity writ large. While the Owner believes the next owner will be someone already in the industry, and he may be correct, I also believe that it could be anyone who sees the brilliance of buying assets for pennies on the currently shrinking and inflated dollar along with a proven and successful method for extracting same. But what do I know? I'm just a Realtor. But an entrepreurial MBA Realtor nonetheless who will be happy to show you this opportunity in person.
