Valley Of The Eagle Airpark (28AZ) Home for Sale: 20-Acre Desert Oasis with Pool, Outdoor Kitchen, and Airstrip Access at 28AZ
An exceptional desert property with airstrip access has arrived in Aguila, Arizona, just 25 minutes west of Wickenburg. Located at the Valley of the Eagle Airpark (28AZ) at 48236 N 519th Ave, this Valley of the Eagle Airpark home for sale sits on 20 flat usable acres with room to build the hangar of your dreams alongside a ready-made outdoor lifestyle that very few desert properties can match. The two-bedroom, two-bath home features a fenced pebble surface diving pool, a massive metal pergola outdoor kitchen with BBQ grills, a pizza oven, a sink and bar area, a two-bay garage with 220-volt power, covered RV parking, and access to a 3,500-foot soil cement community runway that accommodates both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.
A Home Built for Desert Living and Entertaining
The 1,696 square foot main residence is a two-bedroom, two-bath layout designed for comfortable desert living. An open kitchen and great room create a naturally connected gathering space, and an Arizona Room extends the indoor living area into the classic enclosed sunroom format beloved by Southwestern homeowners for its ability to bring outdoor light inside while remaining shaded and comfortable. The floor plan is practical and efficient, built for people who spend more time outdoors than in.
Recent updates give the home solid mechanical footing. A new salt cell was installed in 2026 for the pool. Low-E vinyl windows are recent upgrades throughout. The HVAC system is less than seven years old, and the roof was replaced approximately 2016. These are the kinds of updates that matter most in the Arizona desert, where the climate demands reliable systems and energy efficiency above all else.
Valley of the Eagle Airpark Home for Sale: Airstrip Access and an Active Arizona Aviation Community
The backyard of this property is the centerpiece, and the photos make an immediate impression. A fenced pebble surface diving pool with a new salt cell system anchors an outdoor living environment anchored by a massive metal pergola structure housing an outdoor kitchen with multiple BBQ grills, a wood-fired pizza oven, a full sink, and a bar area built for serious outdoor entertaining year-round. The covered area on the south side of the home serves double duty as RV parking or an additional covered patio, adding flexibility that suits the wide range of uses this 20-acre property can support.
The two-bay garage features 220-volt power and built-in tool shelving, providing a functional workshop environment separate from the living space. With 20 acres of flat, usable Arizona high desert land, the new owner has a genuinely open canvas to design a custom hangar, build out equestrian facilities, or simply enjoy the wide-open space and the extraordinary desert sky that defines life in the Aguila area. A survey is available for review, and the sale includes three separate parcels totaling 20 acres.
Airstrip Access and the Valley of the Eagle Airpark Community
The 28AZ airstrip serving this community features a 3,500-foot soil cement runway surface on runway 17/35 at approximately 2,208 feet MSL, providing easy in and easy out access for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter operations with no restricted airspace to navigate. The surrounding Aguila area is home to a surprisingly dense cluster of private aviation activity, with several private strips, the nearby Eagle Roost Airpark (27AZ), and the active general aviation community that has made this corner of Maricopa County a well-known destination among Arizona pilots who value open desert flying and the freedom of Class G airspace. Pilots should be aware of high-speed low-level military training routes in the area and coordinate operations with neighboring airstrips as noted in the field's operational remarks.
Wickenburg Municipal Airport (E25) is approximately 25 miles to the east with a 6,101-foot paved runway, Jet A fuel, and instrument approaches for days when IFR conditions or turbine aircraft require a larger facility. Phoenix is approximately 75 miles to the southeast, Prescott is approximately 55 miles to the northeast, and the broader Arizona high desert airspace delivers outstanding VFR flying conditions across the majority of the year.
Aguila and the Western Maricopa Corridor
Aguila is a small agricultural community in western Maricopa County that has developed a quiet but growing reputation among pilots, ranchers, and outdoors enthusiasts seeking affordable acreage, open space, and authentic Arizona lifestyle at a price point well below what comparable land commands closer to Phoenix or Wickenburg. The community is quickly becoming recognized as an affordable alternative to Wickenburg for the roping scene, with an active team roping culture that draws competitors and their horses to the area throughout the year.
The surrounding Sonoran Desert landscape delivers some of the most dramatic scenery in Arizona. The Harquahala Mountains to the southwest, the Vulture Mountains to the east, and the iconic Eagle Eye rock formation to the south define a visual environment that pilots based at 28AZ describe as one of the most rewarding areas to fly low and slow over in the entire state. Sentinel Plain to the west, the Painted Rock Petroglyph Site to the south, and the historic agricultural heritage of the Harquahala Valley all add depth and interest to a community that rewards residents who take time to explore it.
The Hassayampa River Preserve near Wickenburg, managed by The Nature Conservancy, protects one of the rarest Sonoran Desert riparian habitats in Arizona along a stretch of the Hassayampa River that flows above ground year-round, supporting a remarkable diversity of birds, mammals, and native plant communities. Lake Pleasant Regional Park, approximately 50 miles to the east, provides boating, fishing, hiking, and lakeside camping within easy reach of the Aguila area for days when the desert heat calls for water recreation.
For pilots, outdoor enthusiasts, equestrian families, and buyers seeking genuine value on flat usable acreage with airstrip access in the authentic Arizona high desert, this 20-acre oasis at the Valley of the Eagle Airpark is one of the most compelling properties available in western Maricopa County today. Purchase now to enjoy the pool, the outdoor kitchen, and the desert sunsets this coming season and every season after.
