A tucked‑away hangar home in North Florida’s lake country is offering pilots a rare blend of private‑runway access and five acres of classic Old Florida woodland. Set in Melrose Landing Airpark, just a short hop from Gainesville and Palatka, this property is perfect for anyone searching for aviation real estate for sale in Northeastern Florida.
Aviation Hangar Home Details
Tucked into the rolling, wooded terrain of Melrose Landing Airpark (FD22), this hangar home is a chance to live in one of North Florida’s most underrated aviation and outdoor playgrounds. Set on 5 acres of longleaf pines and hardwood oaks, the 1‑bedroom, 2‑bath residence pairs a cozy, efficient floor plan with a 2,132 sq ft attached hangar—turning the property into an aviation base camp, workshop, and woodland retreat all in one.
Inside, the home is designed for low‑maintenance living between flights, with central A/C, wood‑laminate flooring, insulated wood windows, recessed lighting, an open kitchen with eat‑in bar, a walk‑in closet, and a security system for peace of mind when you’re traveling. One full bathroom is inside the home, and a second full bathroom is located outside in a rustic shower block with toilet, sink, and shower—ideal after a hot Florida flight or a long day in the hangar.
Melrose Landing Airpark Runway and Community Features
The real star for pilots is Melrose Landing’s newly resurfaced 4,600' x 150' runway, with a combination of asphalt and turf, lit from dusk to dawn and supported by well‑maintained taxiways and roads. The airpark’s layout works for a variety of aircraft types and mission profiles, from classic taildraggers on the grass to cross‑country singles on pavement. A community center and active association give the neighborhood a social core, with nearby options for bass fishing, golf, and local hunting that make this a strong choice for fly‑in sportsmen and outdoor‑minded aviators.
North Florida Lake Life, Outdoor Fun, and Small‑Town Charm
Just minutes away, the small town of Melrose sits on the banks of spring‑fed Lake Santa Fe, a large, clear lake known for excellent boating and fishing. Residents and visitors enjoy kayaking, pontoon cruising, sailing, tubing, and quiet coveside paddling, with public access points and private docks shaping everyday life on the water. Local events—dance weekends, outdoor gatherings at lakefront venues, and seasonal festivals with live music and exhibitors—add an unexpected cultural layer to this rural lake community.
In town, Melrose offers a small but lively mix of eateries and hangouts, including local restaurants, pizzerias, and sports bars, along with galleries, parks, and lakefront spaces. A short drive west brings you into Gainesville’s bigger universe of restaurants, live music venues, museums, and college‑town energy, while Hawthorne and nearby small communities provide biking, nature, and classic “old Florida” backroads—ideal for those who want aviation real estate with both quiet and convenience.
Ideal For Full‑Time Living or Fly‑In Getaways
For the aviation buyer, this property works equally well as a full‑time residence or a weekend fly‑in escape. The hangar’s large workbench, built‑in office space, water, and ample electrical service lend themselves to aircraft maintenance, project builds, or housing a mixed collection of toys—aircraft, RVs, boats, motorcycles, or a serious automotive setup. With the runway as your driveway and a five‑acre buffer of trees around you, it’s the kind of place where you can launch for a morning flight over the lakes, spend the afternoon fishing or golfing, and still be back in time for dinner and live music in town.
