For Sale: French Property on Private Airfield

A very large plot of land (2.4 hectares = 5 acres = 24000 square metres) in a very secluded part of a private airfield called the Aerodrome de Gajoubert (LF8753) situated about half-way between Limoges and Poitiers. The road leading to the land is tree-lined and is only used by the owners as it is a cul-de-sac and it serves only our property.

On the land you have the following properties:

1. A hangar of 450 square metres in which one can comfortably park 5/6 PA28 or Cessna 172 aircraft. In the hangar, there is an apartment which is habitable, consisting of an en-suite bedroom, open plan lounge/diner/kitchen and another wc.

2. A house ( 225 square metres ) — recently built — The walls, roof and windows are finished as per photo, but further interior works are required to make it habitable.

3. There is a plan approved for a third property which is to be built. Electricity, water and septic tanks are in place.

Access to the runway is 24/7 and 365 days of the year. The runway is owned and maintained by Mr & Mrs Fort who live next door, and the service charge is only 70 euros per year.

The land is linked to the runway by a private taxiway which is part of the land. The runway is 700 metres in hard surface and parallel to this runway is a 1000 metres grass runway. For a pilot, apart from the asphalt runway which can be used all year round, you can take off and land as many times you wish and you have freedom of the sky. On landing, you vacate the runway by your own personal and private taxiway that leads to your hangar, and above all at no cost for parking and no landing fees.
