Fresh from the excitement of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025, one thing is clear—Pecan Plantation in Granbury, Texas, has established itself as one of the most desirable aviation communities in the country. With only 30 taxiway homesites being released on August 23rd, pilots and aviation enthusiasts are taking note of this rare opportunity to own property in a fly-in neighborhood that combines unmatched convenience with a resort-style lifestyle.
Why Pecan Plantation Stands Out
Zach Milton, a pilot and land consultant with Patten Properties, shared what makes Pecan Plantation stand out from the nation’s more than 700 airparks. “There is no other airpark with lake access, river access, medical and emergency services, and four different restaurants,” he said.
The conversation was recorded live at Flying Magazine’s Oshkosh Live during EAA AirVenture 2025. You can watch the full interview here.
Located just 35 miles southwest of Fort Worth and outside the busy Bravo airspace, this gated community offers a rare balance of aviation access and everyday amenities. Its hometown of Granbury has been recognized as the number one historic small town in America by USA Today, giving residents both small-town charm and proximity to the Dallas–Fort Worth metro area.
Aviation Infrastructure Designed for Pilots
The Landings airpark at Pecan Plantation features a 3,100-foot paved and lit runway (66TE), a self-serve fuel station, and 20-foot-wide concrete taxiways with direct access to each lot. Homesites require a minimum 2,000-square-foot residence and a 40-by-40-foot hangar, ensuring the community is composed of high-quality custom hangar homes.
Whether you prefer a property with direct access to the runway or one with a short taxi to takeoff, the design ensures convenient and efficient access for all pilots.
More Than an Airpark
Situated on a peninsula along the Brazos River, Pecan Plantation offers 15 miles of river frontage and access to 12-mile Lake Granbury. In addition to its aviation amenities, residents enjoy:
- Four on-site restaurants
- A grocery store, gas station, and pharmacy within the gates
- Championship golf included in HOA dues
- A marina with boat slips for Lake Granbury access
- 24/7 gated security and on-site emergency medical services
- An equestrian center, archery range, and campgrounds
The $255 monthly HOA fee covers golf, security, trash pickup, and both roadway and runway maintenance, representing exceptional value for the services provided.
Strong Demand and Limited Homesites
In less than three years, more than 200 airpark lots have been sold, with monthly sales averaging five to ten homesites. Only 30 taxiway homesites remain, starting in the low $200s. Buyers can purchase land now and build when ready, allowing flexibility in planning their custom hangar homes while securing a property in this highly desirable location.
Many American, Southwest, and Delta pilots have chosen Pecan Plantation for its balance of convenience, amenities, and easy access to DFW and Dallas Love Field.
