Tucked inside the private aviation enclave of Aero Plantation, a newly renovated estate is offering a lifestyle rarely found in residential real estate: the ability to taxi directly from home to a runway.
The five-bedroom property is set within the 475-acre fly-in community just outside Charlotte, North Carolina, where residents share access to a private airstrip designed for pilots who want their aircraft as close to home as their cars.
The property pairs its aviation infrastructure with a fully updated residence designed for everyday living and entertaining. Alongside the house sits a heated and cooled 1,688-square-foot aircraft hangar and a dedicated on-site fuel tank, allowing owners to refuel and taxi directly to the runway without leaving the neighborhood.
Set on more than two acres, the home has been comprehensively renovated with a new roof, updated systems, and refreshed interiors that balance modern comfort with functional spaces like two private offices and a gourmet kitchen with a waterfall island.
The property is listed for $2.4 million by Steve Bueche and Alina Yudzitskaya of Coldwell Banker Realty.
A rare fly-in property in a 475-acre aviation community
The property is set in the exclusive Aero Plantation, a private, aviation-oriented residential community located in Weddington, near Monroe in North Carolina.
Established in the 1960s, the standout community combines rural estate living with on-site aircraft access through its private airfield, with aviation infrastructure designed for pilots who want their aircraft just steps away.
Direct taxiway access to the community’s private runway
One of the home’s defining features is its direct taxiway access to Aero Plantation’s paved runway.
The single asphalt runway (6/24) measures approximately 2,400 feet by 60 feet and includes low-intensity edge lighting. Pilots can activate the runway lighting using UNICOM 123, allowing residents to arrive and depart directly from their own neighborhood.
A heated and cooled aircraft hangar attached to the home
The property includes a 1,688-square-foot aircraft hangar that is both heated and cooled.
The space connects directly to the home’s three-car garage, making it easy to move between aircraft storage and the main residence while keeping equipment protected from the elements.
Featuring a private 1,000-gallon fuel tank for convenient refueling
Adding to the aviation functionality, the property also features its own 1,000-gallon on-site fuel tank.
For pilots, the setup allows for convenient refueling without leaving the property, reinforcing the seamless fly-in / fly-out lifestyle the home is designed to support.
A fully renovated residence with updated systems
Beyond the aviation features, the residence itself has undergone a comprehensive renovation.
Updates include a new roof, upgraded mechanical systems, and an encapsulated crawl space, modernizing the home while maintaining a comfortable residential layout designed for everyday living.
A gourmet kitchen centered around a waterfall island
At the center of the main level sits a gourmet kitchen designed with entertaining in mind.
The space features updated appliances and a waterfall-edge island that anchors the room, creating a natural gathering point for both casual meals and larger gatherings.
Two private offices designed for remote work
The home includes two dedicated office spaces, offering flexibility for remote work or aviation planning.
A main-level primary suite for convenience
The primary suite is located on the main floor, giving the home a practical layout that allows owners to live primarily on one level.
This arrangement can be particularly appealing for homeowners seeking convenience without sacrificing space elsewhere in the house.
Four additional bedrooms upstairs
The upper level includes four additional bedrooms, providing ample space for family members or overnight guests.
These rooms expand the home’s overall capacity while keeping the primary suite separate from the secondary sleeping areas.
A potential guest suite or private office above the garage
Above the garage sits a separate flexible space that can function as a guest suite, private office, or studio.
Because the area has its own dedicated entrance, it can provide additional privacy for visiting guests or remote work.
Three-car garage connecting directly to the hangar
A three-car garage forms a transitional space between the main residence and the aircraft hangar.
This design keeps vehicles, equipment, and aviation gear conveniently accessible while maintaining a cohesive layout.
Community lakes, golf, tennis, and scenic wooded roads
Residents of Aero Plantation have access to roughly 90 acres of shared community amenities.
These include stocked lakes, a five-hole par-3 golf course, tennis courts, and miles of quiet wooded roads that wind through the property’s 475 acres.
A fly-in lifestyle just minutes from Charlotte
Despite its tranquil setting, the community sits only a short drive from Charlotte, giving residents access to a major metropolitan area while maintaining the privacy of a rural aviation enclave.
For pilots who want the ability to land, taxi home, and step directly into their own hangar, properties like this remain among the rarest residential opportunities in the region.
