PRIVATE AIRSTRIP, Dillsburg, PA

Many pilots have dreamed of owning a home and walking a few steps to their airplane. Here's your chance to own a private grass strip in the countryside of beautiful Pennsylvania. Located between Harrisburg and Gettysburg, this 2000 ft private individual airstrip with house and hangar is located on 78 acres of farmland. The old stone 3 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse is 1624 sq ft, and was built in the early 1900's with stone from an old mill. There is a 225 sq ft brick extension attached to the back for storage. There is plenty of room for additions to this charming house. The hangar is a 36' x 48' building with concrete floor, complete with an electric bi-fold door located on the 36' side. We presently have an RV6 and Baby Ace based here, and have plenty of room for work space.

About 85-90% of the land id planted in rotating crops. The present farmer, who lives next door, is interested in continuing to farm the land for the new owner. Mostly flat and cleared, the land is bordered in the back by game lands and farms are on both sides. The zoning protects both ends of the runway from interference in the blide paths. Road frontage is 2016' on a public rural road and subdivision is possible. We are in the process of beginning to subdivide off a 4 acre lot, and also the house and hangar with another 4 acres. This would leave 70 acres with the airstrip for your new home and hangar. At present, zoning does not permit private group designation.

We can package the farm to suit your needs. You can purchase the whole farm wiwth airstrip for $525,000, or the 70 acres with airstrip for $325,000. Taxes on the entire property for 2008 were $2,581.

The nearest full service paved airport is 11 nm from the farm. Historic Gettysburg and Harrisburg are 20 and 25 minutes away respectively. Other local attractions are in Hershey and Lancaster. IAD is 90 minutes by car, BWI 70 minutes and MDT 40 minutes by car.
