Unique Opportunity to Own a Premier, Amenity-Rich Airport with Extensive Development Potential

Introducing Gloster Aerodrome (FAA identifier 1XA7), an impeccably designed and meticulously maintained airport inspired by classic British airfields. This exceptional property is perfect for day VFR and general aviation activities, situated in Class G and E Airspace.

As a privately-owned public use airport, 1XA7 is dedicated exclusively to aviation-related businesses, ensuring its use remains aviation focused. Since 2019, it has enjoyed additional protection under the ordinances of the city of South Frydek, a Class C municipality. These ordinances safeguard the airport's aviation rights by prohibiting any high-density residential developments that could interfere.

The airport boasts an array of amenities including fifteen 40'x40' hangars and two 60'x60' hangars, all currently rented with a waitlist. Additionally, there is a 60'x120' factory building/shop. Each structure is individually metered for electricity. All hangars are accessed by hard-surface taxiways.

A fuel depot, providing 100LL aviation fuel, is accessed by a large concrete apron and features a self-serve, computer-coded system.

The 2550 SF, three-story community center/event venue includes observation decks, a wet bar, chairs, tables, three restrooms, and a large stabilized parking area.

There are numerous opportunities to increase income, including raising hangar rents, adding new hangar space, paving a runway, adding lights for night flying, installing a GPS instrument approach, and increasing the capacity of the fuel depot. The factory building, equipped with 3-phase power, can be leased to a fabrication shop of any kind. Additionally, the property includes 14 RV sites and is suitable for Airbnb rentals, wedding venues, corporate parties, and other events.

Expansion opportunities abound with nearly 3000 feet of additional hangar space along runway 02/20 and the potential to add hangars in the infield between runways 9/27 and 7/25. Alternatively, runway 9/27 can be converted entirely into hangar space and a taxiway, providing 2000' by 100' of space for new hangars. Additional hangar space can also be developed on the land between the village area and runways 7/25 and 02/20. While T-hangars have not been built to maintain the British airfield aesthetic, their addition would significantly increase rental income.

The purchase includes a small parcel of land that connects to the available acreage to the south of Glostershire. This allows for the potential expansion of the airport by purchasing and connecting the adjacent land at Meteor Drive, significantly increasing the size of Glostershire and allowing for the development of more hangar homes.

Additional 24-acres with residential home spanning 4,000 sq. ft., including 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath. An additional 1,000 sq. ft. of covered decking provides outdoor living with breathtaking forest and valley views.

Don't miss this rare chance to own a significant piece of aviation infrastructure with remarkable potential for continued development.
