Discover an aviation real estate gem at Pilots Rest Airstrip, a pilot’s retreat where you can touchdown, taxi home, and enjoy wide-open Arizona skies on your own 2-acre runway access lot. This affordable fly-in property is offered at $245,000, MLS #1078348, featuring a 1-bedroom, 1-bath home with 640 sq ft of living space, built in 2020 for low-maintenance living and maximum utility. The direct runway/taxiway access, no HOA, and rural setting make this an ideal base for owner-pilots, weekend flyers, and aviation enthusiasts looking for a primary residence or a fly-in vacation home.
Pilot-Friendly Layout, Airpark-Style Living
Designed with aviators in mind, this airstrip property offers a pilot-friendly layout that keeps life simple and operations efficient. Large covered patios create the perfect vantage point to watch traffic in the pattern, host fellow pilots, or debrief after a sunset flight. Covered parking and a permitted container shed add practical storage for tools, toys, and aviation gear, while the 2-acre parcel provides taxi-friendly space and multiple options for siting a future hangar. With all newer appliances conveying, this turn-key setup works beautifully as a fly-in crash pad, seasonal base, or full-time pilot home.

Built-In Infrastructure for Your Future Hangar and Home
Serious aviators will appreciate the infrastructure already in place: a private well, oversized septic system, and robust 400 AMP electrical panel designed to support future expansion. That means the runway-access lot is ready for you to add a hangar, larger primary residence, guest quarters, or shop without starting from scratch. The acreage and layout lend themselves to a classic airpark-style compound—park the plane, park the RV, and still have room for additional structures. This combination of affordability, utilities, and scalability makes the property stand out in the Arizona aviation real estate market.
