A Private Quarry on 66 Farmstead Acres
$575,000
Kingsley sits in Susquehanna County, in the rolling hill country of northeastern Pennsylvania — 66.31 acres of farmstead land with a working quarry and a pond.
The house has grown the way good farmhouses do: a traditional two-story 1900 structure with contemporary additions layered on since, including a vaulted-ceiling living room warmed by an LP gas freestanding heater and a dedicated hot tub room. Outside, a 26-by-18 deck and a 14-by-16 porch give you two different ways to sit with the view, and an attached 32-by-42 carport plus a 42-by-38 garage swallow vehicles, equipment, and every project you can think of. The land itself does real work: a pond for the wildlife and the view, and a quarry already on-site that offers a genuine income opportunity most properties simply don't have. 4 bd / 4 ba, 2,314 sq ft, built 1900, on 66.31 acres.

Homestead Potential
Water & Infrastructure
A pond sits on the property, the kind of steady water that draws wildlife and gives the land its character — good for a look from the porch or a line in the water on a quiet afternoon. The home will run on a private well and septic typical of rural Susquehanna County; confirm both. Between the pond and the county's generous rainfall, this is well-watered northeastern Pennsylvania ground.
Crop & Income Potential
Sixty-six acres is real working room — pasture, hay, a large garden, or livestock all fit comfortably here, with the massive attached garage and carport giving you covered space for the equipment any of those choices requires. The property's most unusual asset, though, is the quarry: an existing income opportunity that most farmsteads never have, whether you develop it further or simply let it be a quiet resource in reserve. Between the open acreage and the quarry, this is land with more than one way to earn its keep.
Sustainability
This place layers convenience on top of genuine self-sufficiency. The LP gas heater in the vaulted living room is a real backup heat source, the enormous garage and carport mean equipment and projects have somewhere covered to live, and the quarry represents a rare, built-in income stream that could offset the property's carrying costs over time. Sixty-six acres gives you room to add solar, expand a garden, or bring in animals as your plans develop. It's a property that rewards a long-term, working relationship with the land.
The Boundaries
One fact to know clearly before you buy: the oil and gas rights on this property were previously transferred and are not negotiable, so whatever subsurface mineral rights once went with the land, they don't come with this sale — worth confirming exactly what that means with a title search before you close. On the quarry side, ask what permits or zoning apply if you want to operate or expand it, since that's regulated differently than simple land use. Get a current survey to confirm the 66.31-acre lines and where the quarry and pond sit within them, and have the well, septic, and the additions to the original 1900 structure inspected. None of this dims the opportunity — it's simply the homework a property with real income potential calls for.
Beyond the Property Line
Local Flavor & Small-Town Character
Kingsley is a small rural community in Susquehanna County, in the rolling Endless Mountains region of northeastern Pennsylvania near the New York border. This is quiet, close-knit farm and forest country, with small towns, covered bridges, and a slower pace than the cities to the south. Scranton and Binghamton, NY are both within reasonable driving distance for bigger-city needs, while daily life here stays rooted in the land.
Agricultural Resources & Neighbor Networks
Penn State Extension keeps a Susquehanna County office, with soil testing, Master Gardener training, and small-farm and livestock guidance suited to a large rural parcel like this one. The Endless Mountains region has a solid dairy, hay, and timber tradition, so feed stores, large-equipment dealers, and agricultural know-how are all within reach. For anyone exploring the quarry's potential, the county planning office and a Penn State extension agent are both good starting points on land-use questions.
Outdoor Recreation & Natural Surroundings
The Endless Mountains region is built for outdoor life — rolling forested hills, countless streams and small lakes, and strong hunting and fishing traditions throughout Susquehanna County. Salt Springs State Park, known for its old-growth hemlock stand and waterfalls, is a short drive away, and the broader region offers hiking, ATV trails, and some of Pennsylvania's best trout streams. With a private pond on the property and this much wooded acreage to explore, the outdoor calendar here stays full well beyond what's just off-site.
