Seven of the approximately 40 homes in the subdivision are for sale - four of those border the ranch/future quarry. Only one has sold.
I'm taking some consolation in the fact our property doesn't border the ranch. We are 0.6 mile from the quarry site and we're behind a ridge, which will dampen some of the noise. We'll be in much better shape than the six houses located on top of that ridge who will be in direct line of sight of the quarry - and only a few hundred yards away. But the real hurt will be for the folks living in a couple of houses on the other side of the ranch/quarry. Those two houses are on another ridge looking down on the quarry, less than 400 yards away.
It does sound like you will be in much better shape than those in houses right next to the quarry.
I hope that it turns out to be less of a problem than you expect. If it isn't, I wonder if it might not be worthwhile to sell and move on, like those 7 neighbors plan to do. Life is too short to put up with much aggravation if there is a way around it. Peace and quiet (and peace of mind) are worth a lot.
