Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This for-sale waterfront homesite consists of 26.2 acres of land with access to and views of a 5-acre, water-filled quarry. The property has been privately held and used for personal recreation for more than 50 years, including boating, swimming, four-wheeling, biking, camping, and volleyball. Owners have also maintained hiking/biking trails around the quarry perimeter and throughout the property. The land features mineral sand and rocks described as fluorescing under blacklight.

Located at 65 Buckwheat Road in Franklin Boro, NJ (Sussex County), the site offers a private setting centered on the quarry water and surrounding recreational terrain. The listing information indicates the quarry is the primary natural feature of the property and supports a mix of water- and land-based activities.

Under OSUG zoning, this parcel is best suited for buyers seeking a recreational or personal-use property where outdoor activities are the primary focus. The combination of quarry access, on-site trails, and a distinctive mineral-content feature may appeal to users looking for a self-contained environment for boating, swimming, and trail-based recreation, rather than an income-oriented development plan.

Key Highlights

  • 26‑acre homesite with access to and views of a 5‑acre water‑filled quarry
  • Public water and public sewer service available
  • Hiking/biking trail system around the quarry perimeter and throughout the property
