Pilot's Paradise If you like to fly, this place is magic. This custom, fly-in hangar home in the Texas Hill Country in the Austin area captures all the romance and wonder of aviation in a sleek-yet-cozy two-story residence featuring open-concept living, a hangar that can accommodate multiple aircraft, and an observation deck overlooking the runway for endless hours of gazing skywards. The cool-factor is through the roof - and to top it off, this exceptional home is fully furnished and move-in ready. This home can be used as one primary residence or two since the first floor can function as a stand-alone studio apartment with private entrance. The property is zoned commercial and may be used as a homestead, possibly for short- term rental, or commercially. Infrastructure is in place for expansion, if desired. Aviation Community Flying. Boating. Golfing. It's all here. Walk out the door and you're on the runway. The cozy pilot's lounge is nearby. It's all part of this unique hangar home community where accomplished pilots and airplane lovers hang out and help each other as neighbors. Take a short drive and you're at Lake Travis for boating, jet skiing or fishing. Take another short drive and you're at a spectacular golf course or the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge for hiking and birdwatching. And it's not far to great restaurants, brew pubs, and charming Hill Country towns. Extraordinary, Rare Opportunity This utterly unique home provides an extremely rare opportunity for fly-in living. The Lago Vista Rusty Allen Airport (Airport Code: KRWY) is a municipal airport with no dirt leases. Owners on the runway own their lots in fee simple with deeded access to the 24-hour lighted runway with instrument approaches and the hangar homes can be homesteaded. Only a handful of airports in the entire United States offer this combination of opportunities. In addition, the airport has two aircraft mechanics on the field, an on-site fueling station, and a pilot's lounge with 24-hour access and loaner car. Hangar & Home That's right. A hangar and home all under one roof. The spacious hangar can accommodate two or three airplanes and includes a two-car garage. The hangar comes with epoxied floor, built-in shelving and workbench, hydraulic Schweiss doors, and a custom spiral staircase that leads to a covered observation deck overlooking the runway - perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails as you watch the planes come and go. Also, the apron is concreted with tie-downs so owners can tie down planes just outside the hangar door. The main living/kitchen/dining area is on the expansive-yet-comfy second floor. The aviation motif features extra high ceilings with exposed air ducts, a modern, streamlined steel staircase, ample windows with energy efficient top-down/ bottom-up coverings, low-maintenance laminate flooring, 6-inch baseboards, and a soothing, aeronautic sage green and gray color scheme. The kitchen wows with an over-sized island, hand-hammered copper farm sink, abundant cabinetry with soft-close drawers, hidden storage in the island, reeded glass cabinet doors, high-end KitchenAid and GE appliances, and a built-in wine refrigerator. Countertops include both black leathered granite and jet-black granite with iridescent flecks. A catwalk connects the living area with the observation deck that extends the length of the hangar and overlooks the runway. A large back balcony overlooks a wooded nature preserve - ideal for grilling and chilling. The spacious primary bedroom and bath are just off the main living area and feature high ceilings, a magnificent four- poster bed, luxurious oversized soaking tub, huge walk-in closet with custom shelving, a bonus storage room, and stacked washer and dryer. The extra-large bathroom has room to add built-ins or seating. This entire home is designed for low maintenance and flexibility.
