Are you tired of all the hassles on crowded, expensive commercial flights? What if you had your own airport?

That’s exactly what this listing in Cleveland, MO, offers. Located within a half-hour drive south of the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, KS, the airport has landed on the market for $889,900.

Cleveland is a town of just 661 residents on the Missouri-Kansas border.

This 59-acre property provides the best of both worlds, according to listing agent Susan Newman, of Missouri Lakes Realty.

While many airports are in rural areas, this one, operating as Bishop’s Landing Airport and registered with the Federal Aviation Administration, is close to a major metropolitan area.

What kind of person might buy this property?

“It’s for the person who is part of these ‘airport communities,’” says Newman. “Everybody has their own hangars. You get to live in the country and do your hobby. And yet you’re only 20 to 30 minutes to the Kansas City and Overland Park area.”

Included with the listing—which is being sold by a pilot, whose lot includes a hanger—is a 2,460-foot turf runway and six 10-acre lots that can be leased out to other pilots as a fly-in, fly-out property. In fact, three are already leased to people who have built homes on their land and own their hangers. The acreage comes with a septic system and propane.

The seller currently uses a 50-by-60-foot hangar featuring a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with a kitchen, office, laundry area, and patio. There’s also a separate tiny house on the lot. On another lot is a fruit orchard. The property includes a pond and woods.

“If you purchase this, you own the strip, but you do have the investment of people already out there,” says Newman. And even though it might feel “busy” to live on an airport, it’s actually quite peaceful.

“It’s really quiet. You don’t see one another,” says Newman. “It’s a sweet way for someone to have a hobby and land, and come and go as they please.”

The seller has made numerous improvements to the property.

“He cleaned it up. It had a lot of water issues,” says Newman. “He is a landscaper by trade.”

The only work that’s needed for the next owner is to spruce up the seller’s hangar. But it’s also livable right now.

“There’s so much you can build up and make,” says Newman.
