Perched on 1.33 acres of almost river‑front land, this 32 × 48 ft commercial building, once a snowmobile repair shop, invites endless possibilities. On one side lies the gentle flow of the Auglaize River, directly across the road—on the other, your future awaits.
Inside, you'll find two shop zones: a cooled workspace, and a spacious open bay with 13‑ft ceilings, radiant propane ceiling heat, and durable concrete floors. A bathroom is included (septic status unknown), making it usable from day one.
Originally a bustling repair hub, the layout lends itself to creative conversion: envision a riverside studio, boutique workshop, tranquil hideaway, or a perfect building lot that capitalizes on water views and space.
For water lovers, you're minutes from the Oakwood public boat ramp, a 25‑ft wide concrete launch offering access to the Auglaize River with up to 10 ft of water depth, ideal for small boats, fishing craft, and kayaks.
Nature is front and center here—paddlers from Auglaize Canoe & Kayak float nearby, enjoying peaceful 3‑mile outings to the Oakwood Park & Boat Ramp, spotting bass, turtles, otters, and even bald eagles along the way.
Whether you're dreaming of a riverside business, a quiet retreat, or a potentially prime building site, this property offers the perfect canvas. Let your next venture begin here—with river views, usable space, and almost direct access to one of northwestern Ohio's most scenic waterways.
(Overhead doors are 12' x 12' and 9' x 9') (This is also listed as a commercial property in the MLS as well)
