LANCECASPER Posted January 28 Report Posted January 28 This is the Air Park I live on and I'm helping to sell my neighbor's place. Incredible opportunity to own a Texas Hill Country Ranch on an Airpark. Whether your passion is aviation, dark skies, enjoying nature, wildflowers, raising animals or just privacy - this one is worthy of your consideration. A lighted 3800 foot runway, 80 feet wide, is the centerpiece of this exclusive Hill Country Gated Community, located between Fredericksburg, Kerrville and Harper. Your 60 x 60 hangar on Hangar Row will store your airplane, RV, boat, etc. while providing extra space for guests in the 400 square foot heated and cooled quarters, which includes a bathroom with shower, kitchen and bedroom. Your 56.148 acres are located on the NE corner of the Aviation Loop perimeter and will provide you with privacy and endless possibilities. The total square footage of heated and cooled areas is 2885 s.f., which includes the 621 s.f. pottery studio located in two stalls of the four stall oversized garage. Hill Country Native stone home with metal roof has beautiful scenic views in every direction. The split floor plan has a master suite and two additional bedrooms separated by a Great Room with open Kitchen and Dining. The over-sized 1242 s.f. four stall garage offers many possibilities. The paved driveway will allow you to keep your vehicles clean. The neighborhood has a water system and the property has an onsite aerobic septic system. However a recent 20,000 gallon Rainwater system cares for all of the present owner's water needs. A 192 s.f. well-built, insulated greenhouse is another recent upgrade. Sensible deed restrictions and cooperative owners in this community protect your investment but give you flexibility. And don't forget about the tax advantages of the ag exemption. The yearly mandatory HOA is $1150 for neighborhood amenities including runway maintenance. $1,899,950 https://silverwingsflyinranch.com/ https://www.airnav.com/airport/TS36 More pictures: https://sabor.com/listings/221676669/21 ... ndor=sabor 1 Quote
LANCECASPER Posted January 29 Author Report Posted January 29 A little trivia on Silver Wings and the runway here . . . Before I made my decision to buy here at Silver Wings over eight years ago I had looked at other air parks. It didn't take long to realize that I was never going to find one with a runway like this. It was built to Dept. of Defense specs and easily able to accommodate a C130, which was the criteria. Legend has it that around 1990 the DOD approached a local ranch owner (Friedrich) and told him that they wanted to lease XXX number of acres for him for $$$$$$/year. He wouldn't be told what they were using the land for, there would be high fences installed, but any and all improvements would be his at the end of the lease. He looked at the amount and it didn't take but a moment for him to agree when he compared that to trying to run cattle on the land. The Air Force used it to test drones and once the project was complete he found out that he now owned a large hangar, a couple of homes and an amazing 3800' x 80' runway built up on a excavated base that must have cost millions. Over the next few years he created the neighborhood and sold lots. The inside lots, one of which I own, facing the runway are each 4 acres. The perimeter lots are very special, 50+ acres, ag exemption, ranch living, yet you are a minute or two from your hangar and the runway, that no air park developer could have ever afforded to build to those same specs. (The home for sale mentioned here is lot 28 and their hangar is on Hangar Row XX. I'm at midfield on lot 19) Quote
