A commercial property combining business infrastructure, secure outdoor storage, and residential income potential is heading to auction in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Located at 14617 Kettlersville Road, the approximately 2-acre property will be offered through a live and online auction on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., subject to a $625,000 reserve.

The property may appeal to established companies seeking additional space, entrepreneurs preparing to launch operations, and investors interested in versatile commercial real estate. Its combination of service bays, office areas, storage capacity, and a rental residence gives buyers several ways to use the site.

Five-Bay Commercial Facility Offers Room for Growing Operations

At the center of the property is a 50-by-100-foot steel commercial building constructed in 2011. It includes five drive-through service bays designed to accommodate large trucks, trailers, commercial vehicles, and heavy equipment.

Four of the bays feature 14-by-16-foot overhead doors, while the fifth has an oversized 16-by-20-foot door. The building also includes a reception area, a main-level office, second-floor office and parts storage, a mechanical room, and a full bathroom with a shower. Natural gas heat, central air, well, and septic services are also available.

Outside, an approximately 200-foot fenced and secured yard provides space for fleet vehicles, equipment, inventory, trailers, or other commercial storage needs.

The property also includes a 20-by-50-foot manufactured home on a permanent foundation. Updated in 2024 and currently producing rental income, the residence could continue serving as an investment property or be used for employee housing or owner occupancy.

“Properties offering this combination of a move-in-ready commercial facility, secured outdoor storage, and income-producing residential space are increasingly difficult to find,” said Bill Evans, Auctioneer/Realtor® with Auction Ohio Real Estate. “This auction presents an outstanding opportunity for business owners, investors, and entrepreneurs looking to expand or establish their operations.”

How the Property Could Support Business Growth in Wapakoneta

The property’s layout could support a wide range of industries, including trucking, towing, logistics, construction, agriculture, landscaping, fleet maintenance, automotive repair, warehousing, and small manufacturing.

For a growing company, moving into a facility with service bays, offices, and secured storage already in place could reduce the time and expense required to build those features from the ground up. The additional residence also creates another potential source of income or a convenient housing option connected to the business.
