This property is an online only absolute auction that is ending July 15th at 5pm. The price stated is not a listed price and is not anything other than an appraisal on the auditor page. Exceptional opportunity to purchase 5.44 acres in the City of Rittman with outstanding development potential. Located on Metzger Avenue directly across from the elementary school, this property offers a rare combination of convenience, privacy, and buildability. The parcel features a mix of open ground and mature woods, creating a peaceful setting that feels far removed from the city while still providing easy access to everyday amenities. A scenic creek runs near the rear of the property, adding character and natural appeal. The property is zoned R-2, making it an attractive opportunity for developers, builders, and investors seeking residential development potential. Whether you're considering single-family homes, duplexes, or a larger residential project, buyers should perform their own due diligence with the City of Rittman regarding permitted uses, development requirements, and approvals. One of the property's most appealing features is the availability of city utilities, including water, sewer, natural gas, and electric, providing a strong foundation for future development. Despite its convenient in-town location, the wooded surroundings and natural landscape create a private, country-like atmosphere that is difficult to find within city limits.
