Details

Positioned on 9.3 acres in Rapho Township just off Route 283, this expansive industrial property offers over 30,000 square feet of flexible commercial space in a high-growth area of Manheim, PA. Originally constructed to support J.L. Honberger Co., Inc., a respected pool and spa supply business, the property has been thoughtfully configured to accommodate a wide variety of uses, including professional offices, warehouse operations, and industrial functions. The building features a spacious showroom, multiple office suites, and warehouse capabilities. Some of the spaces are currently leased to tenants on a month-to-month basis, including a financial advisor, a piano sales business, and a music lesson studio, providing immediate income with the flexibility to expand or reconfigure as needed. With three drive-in doors, 53 total parking spaces (including truck and trailer accommodations), and two levels of functional space, the property is ideally suited for an owner-user, investor, or redevelopment opportunity. Adding to its appeal is a unique amenity seldom found in properties of this type, an outdoor pool and bathhouse that could serve as a recreational benefit for employees or an added attraction for tenants. The facility includes geothermal and electric heating, private well water, on-site septic, and an elevator for accessibility. The warehouse section is built with durable metal siding and rubber roofing while the block section has asphalt shingles. Zoned Industrial and supported by essential utilities including natural gas and cable, the site provides broad utility for future growth and business diversification. The property was purchased in 2024, but due to a change in plans, the current owner has decided to pursue other real estate avenues and is offering the property for sale at auction. This transition presents a unique opportunity to acquire a property with immediate income, strong infrastructure, and considerable potential. The auction will take place on Tuesday, February 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with live bidding held onsite and online bidding available. Pre-auction offers are being welcomed. The sale is presented by Ashley Brunner of The Brunner Group in partnership with H.K. Keller Real Estate and Auctions.
