BARGAIN Airpark Home in Independence, Oregon Own a house at the airport as inexpensively as a neighborhood in town. Walk out your kitchen door and step into your own airplane. This 1976 Rambler has endless abilities to accommodate the interests of every member of the family. From the moment one sets foot into the rustic ambiance of the cedar walled front room with its vaulted ceiling and exposed mountain lodge beams, the spirit of the Pacific Northwest comes alive. A cascade of volcanic rocks forms the hearth, with a roaring fire just a flick away. The simplicity of design and open floor plan provide modern atmosphere for entertaining family, friends, or business associates. Sliding glass doors connect the dining room to a 270 square foot solarium encircled with Rhododendrons, opening onto an outdoor patio. The kitchen is connected to the dining area with a seating bar, Corian countertops, Amana gas range, and Oak cabinets. Ceiling light boxes and a greenhouse window brings sunshine to the room any time of day. Adjacent to the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and laundry room. Out the back door, patio pavers surround six raised beds for vegetable gardens. Across the taxiway apron are planters for herbs, and a garden shed for lawn mowers, bicycles and garden equipment. Vehicle parking options abound with space for an airplane and two cars in the attached hangar/garage. Additionally, a 45-foot long RV Carport provides shelter for a motorhome, 13 feet wide and more than 12 feet high. A 32-foot wide driveway extends 80 feet from the carport and garage out to the widest street in the airpark, with room for parking on both sides of the street and ample space for vehicles to drive both directions simultaneously. There are airpark communities elsewhere in the country, but you will not likely find a public street to the front of every house and taxiway access to a public airport on the other side like Independence. Find the best of all worlds and fulfill the dream of an airplane in your own garage. Whether you fly around just for fun on the weekends, or commute to work by air, anything is possible. The runway at Independence is 3,000 feet long.
