Pilots searching for a large, well-built hangar in one of the most enviable coastal locations in the Southeast need to take a close look at this offering at Elsanor Airpark (1AL4) in coastal Alabama. Listed at $475,000, this 65' x 80' red iron insulated hangar sits on a 126' x 295' lot bordered on two sides by common area runways, making it one of the most uniquely positioned aviation properties on Alabama's Gulf Coast.
A Hangar Built for Serious Use
Completed in 2021, the 5,200 square foot structure is constructed with red iron framing and full insulation throughout. The primary aircraft access door is a 44' x 10' Schweiss bi-fold door, providing a generous opening for a wide range of aircraft. Two additional 12' x 14' roll-up doors add flexible access for ground vehicles, equipment, or a second aircraft. The lot itself measures approximately .85 acres, providing ample room to maneuver on the ground.
Inside, the hangar is fully wired in the style of a professional shop, with convenience outlets positioned throughout the structure, full lighting, and a dedicated two-pole compressor outlet. The electrical system is a full on-grid 220VAC/110VAC 50-amp two-pole panel setup.
A 400-square-foot air-conditioned tool room with a full bath provides a comfortable workspace year-round, ideal for owners who spend real time working on their aircraft. The hangar also includes an indoor RV full hook-up with a 50-amp plug, a feature that opens the door to a wide range of additional uses.
Hangar for Sale Elsanor Airpark: Prime Runway Access
The lot is uniquely situated with runway exposure on two sides. The primary runway, 09/27, runs 2,600 feet and provides the main operating surface for the airpark. A secondary runway/taxiway, 18/36, adds 1,300 feet of additional turf surface, giving the community multi-directional ground access. It is a setup that pilots who have spent years searching for a coastal aviation property will immediately recognize as exceptional.
Positioned Between Mobile and Pensacola
This hangar for sale at Elsanor Airpark sits in coastal Alabama's Baldwin County, conveniently located between Mobile to the west and Pensacola to the east. This central location puts residents within easy reach of two major metro areas while enjoying the relaxed pace and natural beauty of Alabama's Gulf Coast. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, two of the most popular coastal destinations in the South, are a short drive south. The area is home to 32 miles of sugar-white sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, drawing visitors and residents who want an active waterfront lifestyle year-round.
Gulf State Park offers 6,500 acres of coastal habitat with two miles of Gulf beach, a 900-acre freshwater lake, and more than 28 miles of hiking, biking, and paddling trails through pine forests, dunes, and coastal swamps. The Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge protects undisturbed barrier island habitat and is a world-class destination for birding and wildlife observation. The Wharf in Orange Beach serves as the region's entertainment anchor, with a marina, shops, dining, a 10,000-seat amphitheater, and one of the largest Ferris wheels in the Southeast. Deep-sea fishing charters, dolphin cruises, parasailing, and world-class Gulf diving round out an outdoor lifestyle that is hard to match anywhere on the Gulf Coast.
Dining options range from waterfront institutions like LuLu's and Tacky Jacks to the legendary Flora-Bama right on the Alabama-Florida state line. The annual Hangout Music Festival and National Shrimp Festival draw visitors from across the country to Gulf Shores annually, reflecting the region's vibrant culture and community spirit. For pilots based at 1AL4, Jack Edwards Airport in Gulf Shores also serves the area, providing access to additional fuel and services when needed.
