I Bought 100 Acres w/ Airplane Hangar in the Middle of Nowhere!

I had the unique opportunity to buy this 100 acres out in Hudspeth County, TX. It came with an old airplane hangar that is about 7,000 sq feet. It has living quarters and an old gravel runway that's a mile long!

[@NickKubik]

Tires in the ground look like tie downs for airplanes.

[@roberth7894]

It's amazing that you have electricity already run out there, that's worth a small fortune. Lot's of potential in this!

[@FarmFriendsVintage]

The landing strip is your hidden gem. Former private pilot here…you can host fly-ins with tie downs and honestly you will want to consider marketing to private aircraft owners. Bonus if you can provide a cheap car so pilot and guests can drive into town to your restaurant. Check maps tho since close to border, make sure there isn’t restricted airspace too close by. I flew my plane all over the United States…loved the camping sites the best. Best wishes to you young man! Blessings and Health 😊

[@PTRRanger951]

Keep most of the hangar usable as a hangar. And do what needs to be done for the strip to be usable. If you make it a lodge, a lot of hunters and campers fly and have planes. They may not always have a STOL plane for back country but it would appeal to them to be able to fly in and spend the week there. They would want to park their aircraft in the hangar. So keep it so 2-3 planes can fit in the hangar at a time. A group of a few hunters and pilot friends can fly in. Or even if they are not hunters they can fly in as a just a get away with a few friends and pilots. You would appeal to not only hunters or outdoors people but pilots as well. So keep the hangar USABLE AS A HANGAR.

[@boboso7238]

Cartel has entered the chat.

[@EvilDeadFan11]

This is a totally underrated comment. Definitely get a front wall/hangar door with a man door to keep the inside clean and weather free.

I wondered who bought that old piece of land. If I remember correctly, only about 2,700 feet of that runway is usable. Very good purchase though. Congrats!

[@billinsa9752]

Set up a rain collection/filtration system off the hanger to reduce need to have someone fill the tanks.

[@jonjasniak]

Yes great idea!

[@anthonybaroni3285]

I like this property a lot. It has a very nice feel to it.

[@kirkslayden834]

You could also have a diesel generator. And a Solar System. With plenty of battery backup. You've got a prize man. Little time and a little money.

Great work bro, just finished all 3 podcast an come back to see this video drop. Stay Grinding

[@inmyfreetyme]

What a FUN project to have. I enjoyed this video and will watch more. Enjoy being creative and prosperous. Cheers !!

[@jeffselchow5719]

Tires sunk into ground are most likely 'tie-downs' for planes that overflow the hanger. Potentially anyways. If you want to make runway safer, try and put the power lines at the end of runway, underground, that would eliminate any potential wire strikes from pilots unfamiliar with that strip.

[@blakejohnson8831]

Great idea JAZ Hunting Lodge & Camp grounds, pool table, ping pong, wet bar, arcade games, do an indoor vented fire pit/fireplace seating area, tent camping RV camping, what a great opportunity.

I used to seal up individual screws at a storage facility with a clear sealant ..it was a pain for sure lol ..I can't imagine how many screws are on the hangar and if each overlap is going to need those foam insert things..excited to see the progress and what's in store for the property ..good buy and content ..keep up the good work!

This would be a great base for Jeep trips to Guadalupe Adventure Trails. Hopefully Williams Ranch will be open again soon.

You should get a solar system , so you're off the grid. And you can bring in water. Just conserve it. It was also thinking you could have a Cement. patio or something like that.

[@armedscubasteve]

I live in El Paso. I can't wait to visit Cornudas once you have it all up and running! Been following your videos for a bit.

[@LauraMaeismyMother]

You know that's a nice property.. Only one problem. An airstrip in the middle of nowhere with a hangar Is a magnet for cartel activity. And now that you've advertised it on KZbin, I hope you have plenty of guns and a military mindset and the time to guard that place.

[@kirkslayden834]

That's very true, and he should have a few guard dogs.

[@LongStep]

those counter rotating fans upstairs are cool!

[@jeramypeoples8828]

1.. Don’t rip any part of the air strip . Bring in a grader and have them make 2 passes and it’ll be like new .. 2.. Hanger doors will need the seal strips installed to be weather tight .. 3.. You need one more water tank Awesome deal wish I had you to do some investing in Oklahoma I’ve got great deal fast money flippers .. just don’t have all the capitol .. Keep up the good work looks awesome !!

[@christinetoevs6641]

Spray-foam to seal the roof, walls & edges from dust ingress! (some insulation factor to keep the cooling in!)

[@user-10ronhansen]

if the foundation is settling, check the depth and width of the perimeter building footing. A Engineer can easily calk. a fix for that if needed. You want to check that before you do more work.

[@renoflames]

I have been looking for a place like that my whole life to make a home out of. Biggest problem is water and backup power to run the place. In the summer the heat in the hangar will be unbearable. Easiest way to cool the hangar is with the Reifers out of 18 wheelers. BTDT. Not that expensive. I wish I would have seen it first I would have bought it right away. Water is an issue and 2000 gallons is not enough you need 4 times that with filtration systems. Airplane Survival Hangar. I would love to live there. You could fix it up on a $250,000 budget. That would be close. Good Purchase.

[@MatthewRios-x5f]

Those tires in the ground were anchors for air planes, they used them to tie down the planes they used to have I remember seeing them when I was a kid going through there

[@thewaterheaterfactory]

I thought it was hilarious you got excited about 12 tubes of liquid nails , You just spent 175k and talking about another 60k in renovations.

[@kirkslayden834]

Could be a spray septic field. A fly in and out air B&B would be cool. The hoses in your building are easily fixed. Just like metal roofing you may need to just re screw the panels, the screws have a rubber or silicon washer that prevents water from getting thru.

[@LaurensDekoekkoek-xy7vm]

I’d make a large Booddocking campground and use the hangar as a store and hangout place

[@richardpark3054]

Hangar door is important. I could be interested, mebbe 300k. Depends on location. Which I don't seem to have detected.

[@PumaMarineUS]

Would you be interested in short term leasing the property for some flight testing?

[@zLigHt44]

Lots of ideas coming your way, I don't have any idea as t to zoning and environmental laws, but water and septic is always job one.The first baby step is to rent the hangar for RV parking, out of the sun and wind,use that money and time under those circumstances to see where things lead you, good luck!

[@user-en7un3ln1b]

They probably still land there!

[@user-10ronhansen]

Those tires are probable airplane tiedown, for parking a airplane outside, if you park a airplane in the front of the building you will need hold-downs for it.

[@davidinwashington]

Really nice purchase, Jon! Would you consider sharing the annual property taxes with us? $1750 / acre is a killer price but I'm always concerned the county will take more than their fair share in taxes.

[@user-en7un3ln1b]

Best way to seal the hanger is use that light tower and set it up inside and light it up and get on the roof with a screw gun and a caulking gun you will see the light coming through

That's awesome brother 👍 I finally picked some land south of DC. Maybe you can rent it to a guy who's been looking to buy his first helo. 🤔 See at the cafe soon! You just mentioned your plan for an old aircraft, 😆 give me a call, i know a guy.

[@norahjaneeast5450]

I seen a thing about airplane hangars apparently you can rent them relatively cheaply the only problem is is that you can't move in now of course that doesn't really affect you your own private land and I think you can probably do anything you want with your airplane hangar on your private property but I think if you start trying to turn it into a B&B or whatever then it gets to be problematic anyway regardless it's a great party destination

[@flapoverspeed]

Hangar space is a premium everywhere

[@scottfoster2487]

Nice looking property. Looks like a cartel setup lol Looks like there is two runways. You may need to get a water truck to haul your own water.

[@denniskearney5266]

Racetrack you say . And a mile ?

[@kirkslayden834]

Invest in a little bit of money and insulate it, but use some good stuff. Not that crummy stuff. You will be happy you did that. And if it's still too hot, get a swamp cooler. I bought a 4 way which is for the roof and I put it in the patio. And put some legs on it and 38 inch tubes through the window. Because my original air conditioner unit on the roof is expensive to run on. My electricity bill. And I cut it in half. Swamp coolers are great. They really do work. And because mine's in the patio, it's in the shade and that makes it even better. But anyways, nice piece of property. God bless.

You won’t have to concern with other people problems. Money is the least important thing in the world. If you have money, someone’s trying to take it, if you have a little money, you’re trying to get more, you’ll waist your life away trying to get all the money in the world, and never enjoy the peace and solitude.
