New owner pays $1.1M for Rainbow Lake property in Huber Heights

Jan. 10—A limited liability company paid just over $1.1 million for fishing lakes property in Huber Heights near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, new Montgomery County property records show.

KCR Lakes Inc. sold nearly 51.5 acres of land off Ohio 235 to Rainbow Lakes LLC, a limited liability company registered in North Canton.

The property's business address is 3491 Ohio 235. A recent rezoning of land at the site paved the way for the sale.

City of Huber Heights planners late last year approved a request to split a lot at the southeast and northeast corners of the intersection of Ohio 4 and Chambersburg Road, creating a pair of parcels.

City documents confirmed that Ross Childers, of Rockford, Ohio's KCR Lakes, requested approval of a lot split to create a 49-acre parcel and a 2.47-acre parcel to facilitate the sale.

The area is zoned commercial vacant land. Part of the land abuts Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Huber Heights City Planner Aaron Sorrell told the Dayton Daily News Tuesday that city officials have exchanged of emails with the new owner.

"We haven't talked about future plans in any kind of detail," Sorrell said. "They approached us about acquiring a small parcel we own adjacent to their property."

The lake property's phone number has been disconnected.

A message seeking comment was sent to the new owner.
