Welcome to your own private aviation retreat in the highly sought-after South Lakeland Airport Community (X49), where runway living meets Florida lifestyle. Situated directly on the runway and spanning nearly one acre, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and aviation freedom. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the spacious split-bedroom floorplan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The soaring vaulted ceilings accented with warm wood beams create an inviting atmosphere, while the wood-burning fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the main living area. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is sure to impress, featuring a large granite island with prep sink, abundant counter space, and a casual dining area perfect for gathering with family and friends. The private primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a spacious walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. Recent improvements include brand new hangar door, fresh interior paint throughout, updated cabinet hardware, modern fixtures, refreshed trim and baseboards, and a new metal roof installed in 2024, providing both peace of mind and long-term value. Step outside and experience what makes this property truly special. The expansive covered lanai overlooks the runway and creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or watching aircraft arrive and depart. The heated pool and spa are privately fenced, offering a relaxing oasis for year-round enjoyment. For pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and those needing exceptional storage space, the concrete block hangar is a standout feature. Measuring approximately 40' x 30' with an estimated 38' x 10' door opening, the hangar provides ample room for your aircraft while still offering additional space for vehicles, recreational equipment, workshop projects, or RV storage.
