Airplane Runway

As for the “dreaming”, I'd put in a model airplane runway... that would be cool.... but I guess, with 1200'x350', the runway orientation would force the house to be in the landing/takeoff path. Your neighbours may be a tad upset too..... so, I revise my “dreaming” option to be “Buy the neighbouring properties too!”.

From scratch, my ideal house would be a 10-car garage with a room and bath attached, and an air-strip. Actually the room and bath could be a tent and a port-o-let. :-)

Doubt you'll be able to get a useful landing strip on there, but save some space for a heli-pad later. A vehicle test track would probably be nice too.

Build a runway of course! I live on a residental airpark and am absolutely spoiled by it. I have a friend who has a 1400' runway, and he gets in and out ok with his experimental airplane.

50' or so wide landing strip is fine; but 1200' (with overrun) is on the short side for almost any aircraft with long enough “legs” and decent speed for cross country travel. But a landing strip would be quite nice along with a hanger. Explore entering an agreement with an adjacent neighbor to have a longer runway with an overrun and a bit of area for final approach & climb out.
