Property (on Private Airfield) For Sale - Gajoubert

Esteban Dwarka writes:

Our property is in Gajoubert which is halfway between Limoges and Poitiers. Gajoubert is a small commune with a population of 180.

We have around six acres of land on a private airfield. The airfield and 700-metre asphalt runway is owned by our next door neighbour. They are responsible for the maintenance of the runway and we pay a nominal yearly fee. We have access to the runway via a taxiway which is only for our use and the access is for life as per contract.

We have built a 450 sq. m hangar and 300 sq. m house. Within the hangar we have built a 50 sq. m apartment which is very comfortable and habitable. This means as you step out of the apartment you walk straight to your plane in the hangar. You can easily park 3 or 4 Cessna 172 or PA28 aircraft in the hangar. You can park 5 to 7 planes outside the hangar.

We also have full planning permission for another house on our land. We have already installed the water supply and septic tank for that house. I have provided some photos of the apartment, house, hangar, land, taxiway and runway. In one of the photos I have highlighted our land and taxiway in green.

In blue, is the road leading to our front gate. In one of the photos you can see the road which is tree lined. We are fortunate as the mayor has deliberately made the road a cul-de-sac (no through road) making it virtually a private road for us.

Our land is surrounded by oak trees (+ or – 100 years old) that belong to us. Under these trees you can pick some of the best mushrooms in France.

In respect of the weather, we are fortunate as it is fairly good weather all year round. For example, in January/February this year, I did ten hours of flying. Given our location, you can easily fly to the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium and the Eastern European countries. There are no restrictions around the airfield. You can land and take off as many times as you wish, and your pilot friends can fly to visit you in their planes without having to worry about landing or parking fees. In fact our mayor and inhabitants of our village are all very enthusiastic about flying, and even encourage us to fly over their houses for fun.

May I mention the following:-

1. It is very safe and secure in our area. For example two years ago, we went on holidays for two weeks to the USA, and I forgot to lock the front door. When we came back our postman (Gaston) has left our post on the table in our apartment and we did not lose anything.
   
   
2. Our mayor who is very pro-aviation is very friendly and helpful. He is always available to support you and will give you his personal mobile phone number for contact whenever you need him. I have always maintained that he is the best mayor in France.
   
   
3. In one of the photos a friend of mine landed his helicopter on our taxiway and we went for a flight together. In fact our land is big enough for a helicopter to land at the back of our house.
   
   
4. The reason for sale is our move to Spain to be near my wife’s mother who has sadly lost her husband. We have to be with her to offer as much support as possible. If it was not for that reason, we are very happy to stay here.
   
   
5. On the airfield there are plots of land for sale. A plot of 4,000 sq. metre is for sale at £79,600 (seven-nine thousand and six hundred pounds sterling) and they are in the middle of the airfield next to each other. Our land is 6 X 4,000 sq.metres which is 24,000 sq. metres, and on the basis of the price per plot our land without our house and hangar is worth £477,876, but we are selling our property and land well below that price. Our property and land is in a private and secluded area of the airfield.
   
   Our pilot friends who have visited us say that we are in a pilot paradise.
   
   
6. OUR HANGAR, HOUSE AND LAND IS FOR SALE AT: £398,000

What a fantastic property it is as well.
I have flown by many times and dreamt of living with a runway in front of my house.
