This land is steeped in a rich mining history that dates back to the mid-1800s, during the feldspar mining boom. Feldspar plays a crucial role in the production of ceramics and glass, enhancing their hardness and durability. It is also utilized as a filler in floor tiles and paint. Originally, the area was home to 3 to 4 quarries, including the well-known Square Pit. While feldspar is mainly exported today, these quarries are also famous for rare gems, garnet, and quartz. Discoveries can yield significant rewards, especially with various aquamarines found in the region. If quarrying isn't your interest and you're looking to live off the grid, transform this 50 acres into your personal outdoor retreat. You'll be surrounded by abundant wildlife, streams, and woods, with potential development opportunities. Enjoy easy, gated access off Trenton Place Road.
