Airport/Hangar Home

I am trying to buy a piece of property that will allow me to have a
3000' (or so) grass runway. We would build a house on the property
that would be our only residence. I have been looking around for some
home plans that incorporate a hangar attached to the home, but have not
had much success. I have found a few pictures of hangar doors on
airport homes, but that is about it. Short of hiring a designer, do
you know of any resources or web site with examples of airport homes?

Thanks,
Jeff

Search google for airparks.

Spent 3 hours looking through google hits for airparks. Found lots of
information on airparks, but only one home plane and it was something
like 7000 SF plus the hangar space.

This one's not as good as I thought. This was a place where I went to a
cook-out this past summer. (This picture is from the previous year).

As much as you don't want to have to hire a designer, no architech will
copy someone elses plans due to copyright laws. Your best bet is to sit
down with paper and pencil and start drawing. You could also buy a
program like 3-D architech. This is a good cheap program that is easy
and forgiving. Then, take your ideas, and a list of wants and needs to
an architech. Be sure to call a bunch first for cost, they run night
and day.

Our find a good builder. Codes vary across the country, but our builder was able to take our 2300 sq ft house plan and
build straight from it...

Thanks Wayne that is very nice.

Where are you located? There are some 500 residential airparks in the
US, including the one I live at, Spruce Creek. SC is the largest (and,
IMHO, the best) in the world.

Check for openers.
