There are hangars, and then there are aviation lifestyle properties. The offering at Hangar 6W on the Colorado Air and Space Port (KCFO) in Watkins, Colorado, falls firmly into the second category. Listed at $450,000, this 3,000-square-foot hangar with a finished upper-level apartment sits on leased airport land with an exceptionally low ground lease of just $266 per month, placing pilots and aviation professionals within minutes of the Denver metro area at one of Colorado's most unique and forward-looking aviation facilities.
A Hangar Built for Every Kind of Operator
The hangar itself is designed to accommodate a wide variety of aircraft and operational needs. The primary door measures a generous 55.5 feet wide with 16 feet of door height clearance, providing excellent access for everything from large single-engine aircraft and light twins to business jets. The spacious interior supports aircraft storage, maintenance work, a personal workshop, and equipment storage all under one roof.
What truly sets this property apart is the 923-square-foot finished upper-level space above the hangar floor. This two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is beautifully finished and fully equipped with a kitchen and living area, making it genuinely livable for a wide range of uses. Whether the new owner envisions it as a pilot lounge, a flight planning office, crew quarters, an executive office, or overnight accommodations for clients and visiting pilots, the space is ready to serve. For owner-operators who want to live above their hangar and taxi directly to the runway each morning, this property delivers that lifestyle in one of the most exciting aviation environments in the country.
Hangar For Sale: Colorado Air and Space Port: Unlike Any Other Field
This hangar for sale at Colorado Air and Space Port sits at a facility that is genuinely one of a kind in American aviation. KCFO is one of only 14 FAA-licensed commercial spaceports in the United States, owned and operated by Adams County and positioned as a key general aviation reliever airport in the FAA's national system. The field sits at 5,512 feet elevation with two 8,000-foot paved runways, a staffed control tower, Jet A fuel, and full FBO services. With no landing fees and competitive fuel pricing, day-to-day operations at KCFO are straightforward and cost-effective.
The airport sits just six miles southeast of Denver International Airport, giving based pilots convenient access to the entire DEN airspace system and the broader Front Range aviation network. The on-field restaurant, Mi Tierra Mexican Restaurant, serves the airport community throughout the week, adding a social hub that complements the strong aviation culture already established at the field.
The Denver Metro at Your Doorstep
The location in Watkins places this property at the eastern edge of the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area, one of the fastest-growing regions in the country. Aurora, the state's third-largest city, borders the airport to the west and offers an extraordinary range of dining, entertainment, shopping, and outdoor recreation. The Stanley Marketplace, a former airplane manufacturing facility transformed into a celebrated community food hall and urban marketplace, is a regional favorite drawing visitors from across the metro. Cherry Creek State Park provides 880 acres of reservoir fishing, paddleboarding, hiking, and cycling just a short drive southwest. The Aurora Reservoir adds another 800-plus acres of open water for fishing, trail running, and non-motorized boating.
Downtown Denver is easily accessible for those who want world-class dining, professional sports, live music, and a thriving arts scene, while the foothills and Rocky Mountain recreation areas lie just to the west. Rocky Mountain National Park, world-renowned ski resorts, and some of Colorado's most spectacular backcountry flying destinations are all well within reach by air from KCFO. For the pilot-owner, the ability to fly out on a Friday afternoon and be over the mountains within minutes is simply part of the daily rhythm at this airport.
With a ground lease of just $266 per month, a finished and livable upper-level apartment, generous hangar dimensions, and a position at one of the country's most distinctive aviation facilities, this property represents a genuinely rare opportunity for the right buyer.
