Default Silverwings airport access

Jim -
Do the lots on the outside of Airpark Loop have airport access? It does not appear that they do.

Sam,

While my wife and I still lived in Tampa we went on a similar search. In the end nothing compared to Pecan Plantation. Very affordable and lower taxes than most. It's a wonderful airpark but there is much more to Pecan than just an airpark. Check it out and if I can provide you with a tour of the facility just drop me a note.
Also RV's all over the airpark and a strong EEA chapter 983.
Pat

Sam, the large lots outside the loop have a pad site that is reserved for each of the large lots to build a hanger on, these pad sites are located next to Fletchair near the south end of the runway. The loop and runway are protected by a deer proof fence.

Default Don't forget California

Rancho Tehama Airport in Northern CA. Several 1 acre lots for sale with direct runway access. Several RV owners on the field. Vacant 1 acre runway lots $40,000 to $70,000 depending what is on them.

Default Not Texas

Unfortunately, California is not Texas .... Since my goal here is to go back home, the left coast is too far west. Thanks for the info, though.

I'd like to find something in the area bounded by San Antonio, Brady, Abilene, and Fort Worth. Prefer very laid-back - not interested in high-end places like Spruce Creek. Looking for lots as opposed to built homes. Any recommendations will be gratefully accepted!
You may want to consider Zuehl (1TE4). It's a really nice area right along I-10, with quick access to San Antonio and I-35. Just found a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF_2R0-jqjE
