Premier Industrial Opportunity: The Norwich Aggregate Reserve
This is a rare and strategic opportunity to acquire a substantial dry mining site in the heart of Upstate New York’s industrial corridor. Offered specifically to settle an estate, this property represents a significant value-add play for the savvy investor or owner-operator. With the vast majority of the acreage remaining untouched, the potential for long-term production and resource extraction is immense.
Land & Topography
Located within a fertile river valley setting, the property features the high-quality glacial deposits and alluvial gravels that have made this specific region a hub for aggregate production.
Composition: The site boasts a "dry bank" profile, minimizing the complexities often associated with wet dredging. Expect a robust mix of sand and well-graded gravel common to the Chenango County geological strata.
Untapped...
Untapped Potential: Approximately 80% of the site remains undeveloped, offering a "blank canvas" for a customized mining plan.
Surrounding Landscape: The property sits in a proven "gravel belt," evidenced by the successful, long-standing quarries that neighbor the site. The topography is characterized by workable benches and manageable elevations that facilitate efficient extraction and processing.
Utilities & Access
Logistics are the lifeblood of any industrial operation, and this site delivers exceptional connectivity.
Road Access: Situated just minutes south of Norwich, NY, the property features easy access for heavy equipment and haul trucks via well-maintained transit routes.
Power & Infrastructure: The site is positioned near established industrial-grade power lines capable of supporting processing plants or sorting equipment.
Connectivity: Cell service is reliable throughout the valley, and the proximity to the Norwich urban center ensures that high-speed internet and necessary municipal services are within reach.
Regulatory & Permitting Status
This is a turn-key regulatory opportunity. The property is being sold with an existing mining permit in place, which is currently valid through June.
Transferability: The permit is transferable to the new owner, and the estate is willing to structure the contract to be conditioned upon the successful transfer of these operating rights.
Administrative Note: While current estate administration does not have specific yield potential documents, the surrounding active quarries serve as a strong indicator of the rich mineral density found within these bounds.
Industrial & Strategic Use
While the primary value lies in its Ag-Exempt industrial status for mining, the sheer size and location of the parcel offer diverse future potential.
Resource Extraction: Ideal for a new market entrant or an existing operator looking to expand their regional footprint and secure reserves for the next several decades.
Reclamation Potential: Post-extraction, the river valley setting offers incredible potential for transition into recreational use, industrial storage, or ecological restoration projects.
Privacy & Security: Due to the active nature of the site and the sensitivities of estate settlement, all interested parties must have a confirmed appointment prior to walking the land.
Location Context
The property is perfectly positioned to serve the construction and infrastructure needs of the Southern Tier and Central New York.
Norwich (5 Minutes): Immediate access to local labor, fuel, and equipment repairs.
Binghamton (45 Minutes): A straight shot to a major metropolitan market and the I-81/I-86 corridor.
Syracuse/Oneonta: Conveniently located for regional distribution to high-growth areas.
This estate-liquidated asset is a "choice option" for those looking to capitalize on a proven mineral-rich region. Secure your future production today in one of New York's most reliable aggregate pockets.
