Airport/Hangar Home

I'm a Realtor in Michigan and we have a similar "homestead" law. In MI
not only is there a cap on your taxable value, you pay less millage
also. There are several runway communities around here (southeast MI)
and some people attach their hangars and others don't. The law says that
the land and all buildings on that piece of land form your "homestead"
so there is no tax advantage for an attached hangar.

Spent 3 hours looking through google hits for airparks. Found lots of
information on airparks, but only one home plane and it was something
like 7000 SF plus the hangar space.

Thanks Wayne that is very nice.

I live in Rolla, MO. It looks like there are a lot of very nice
airparks around the US. I am not really looking for an airpark to live
in. I want to put a grass strip on my own piece of land and build a
house on it. I might sell off a few large lots (10-40 acres) to other
pilots looking for something similar to help reduce the overal cost.
The land here in south central MO is kind of hilly and there are not
many good locations for grass strips.

No I am not positive. No real building codes to speak of where I will
be building. I do not even have to get a building permit. Insurance
may be a concern, but if I build a house with attached hangar, the
hangar will really not be much larger than a standard 3 car
garage.....I will have to check this out. I do not think there is any
way that I could ever have too much space. I think no matter how big
the hangar is, I would come up with a way to fill it up with something.

Jeff,
I found the website your looking for.
www.livingwithyourplane.com

You may have to join for a year at about $20

This one's not as good as I thought. This was a place where I went to a
cook-out this past summer. (This picture is from the previous year).

I have exactly that problem now! I watch my little one during the day and
when the wife gets home from work we eat and she is usually getting ready
for bed , or at least the wee one. My hangar is the basement right now and
well ...rivet guns make alot of noise, so she tells me !

Personally, I would not be in favor of building an attached hangar.

My wife likes to retire early, while I like to stay up late. If I wanted
to
work on something, I would have to worry about making too much noise.
Fumes
would be another thing that would be a problem with an attached shop.

A short walkway to the hangar would be all that is needed to isolate noise
and smells.

Thanks Lou. I saw this web site, but did not thoroughly read all the
details. I plunked down the $20 to give it a shot.
