Pilot’s Paradise! Come Fly Away in This .5M Hangar Home Near Houston

This home in Spring, TX, is perfect for the average Joe with all the usual hobbies: owning planes, flying planes, building planes, and watching other people fly planes. You know, totally normal stuff. The 11,385-square-foot property includes three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and an airplane hangar.

“It’s like a boy’s fantasy house,” says listing agent Susanne Wheat. The hangar has direct access to Hooks Airport, so you can drive your plane from the hangar to the runway. It also includes a 1,600-square-foot shop, in which the current owner builds his own planes. Imagine having that kind of confidence in your work!

The home has a private kitchen, bedroom, bath, and pilot’s library on the lower level in addition to the fully remodeled kitchen and two bedrooms on the main level.

“For a businessperson who travels with a pilot, it could be a great setup,” says Wheat. The pilot has his or her own suite, complete with a selection of books about air travel to unwind with in the evenings.

“It’s also a great layout for a family,” says Wheat. Big doors in the living room open to a balcony across from the hangar. On balmy nights, one partner could be cooking dinner while the other tunes up the aircraft for a family trip the next day.

According to Wheat, the current owner loves hopping in a plane on Saturday mornings and zooming off to all sorts of destinations.

The home is right near Loop 99 in Houston, which makes commuting easy if you work somewhere that doesn’t have a built-in runway. But if you do want to commute to a far-flung job, this property is ideal.

The house also has two living spaces, a huge kitchen, and a formal dining room, which is ideal for when you want to entertain without worrying about the seatbacks and tray tables. It was built by the current owner because he loves planes and living an aviation lifestyle, according to Wheat.

Honestly, if you own your own planes, a $3.5 million hangar house is probably the least expensive part of your lifestyle.
