A West Richland hillside site is under contract to sell, with a tentative closing date of late April following a March auction.

Musser Bros. Auctions conducted the auction for about 125 acres on North Harrington Road near Twin Bridges Road. Two parcels were purchased by local homebuilders. A third was purchased by a non-developer.

Auctioneer Scott Musser said the auction was conducted using social distancing protocols and bidders were invited to participate by phone.

The land was pitched as a potential residential site that could rival the scale of The Heights at Red Mountain Ranch, taking shape on farmland near Rupert Road and its future connection with Keene Road.

Details of the transactions, including the buyers and the prices paid, won’t be released until the deal closes and is recorded with the Benton County assessor, Musser said.
