Arrow FS: TN Home with airstrip & LARGE hangar

Always trying to play to a new crowd, I got to thinking. Who would be interested (besides every day Cessna Pilots) in living in a home with it's own airstrip.

Dawned on me that someone who BUILD aircraft would love this place even more. HUGE 60X90 hangar, attached to a 3000 sf contemporary home.

One could tinker and work on their airplane at all hours.

If you are interested in learning more, I have built a website for my friends to showcase this property. It is, for sale by owner.

$539,000 for the home/hangar/airstrip that includes 21.15 acres of pristine pilot paradise. <---- say that fast three times

Anyway, enough talk for now. Please visit: http://tinyurl.com/ownyourdream

There you will find many photos and all the information you might require when thinking about living your dream.

Thanks for reading, and have a splendid day.

Tina

Thank you, Kirk. It is beautiful.

Timing is everything. I have two boys in college right now so there is nothing going on in my life for quite sometime now.

Blue Skies,

Tina

I don't mean to repeat myself but...

holy mackerel this is an active board! I have Google analytics on the website that I created and it is flooded with visits from this forum. It was a shot in the dark posting here, but I'm sure glad I did.

You beat, hands down, aopa, avweb, barnstormers... all the others combined.

A hearty thank you for all the visits.

It makes me feel great.

Blue Skies...

Tina

This property looks great. If I could only convince my wife to leave Southern California....

*I* wouldn't leave Southern California. <lol>

Isn't the weather always lovely there?

(Thanks for the reply, it's nice to talk with people.)

Default Wow! Nice Place!

Looks great. I grew up in georgia and always wanted a place like this. However, now I want that place to be located in Sunny Colorado. You see I realized that the Appalachians, while being a good substitute for mountains at the time, just don't hold a candle to the Rockies. I'm sure you won't have any trouble selling though. You're right not to hire a realtor. I always say, "A conflict of interest is the start of a bad business relationship." Good luck.

Thank you, Mike. This property is so unique it will take a pilot to sell it to another pilot. Real estate agents are only in it for the money. Pilots like to see airstrips remain airstrips. They're not making more land, and regulations for new airstrips are becoming tighter and tighter. Even in rural Tennessee. Don't quote me on this, but I hear there is a prohibition on new runways in the county this home is located in.

One more shameless plug, I made a neat-o-keen flyer that helps advertise the place. If anyone is inclined to print it off and post it in lobbies of local FBO's that would be great.

Also a special little incentive from the owner...

$1000 cash if you refer a buyer that consummates the deal. That's right, if you know a friend or acquaintance that just might like a place like this, pass it along and tell 'em.... <your name here> sent ya!
