Aero Plantation Homes for Sale

Established 1989

Weddington's private fly-in estate community

Aero Plantation luxury homes occupy Union County's only private fly-in residential community — a singular 1989-established airpark of approximately 100 estate parcels arranged along a 3,300-foot grass airstrip (NC75), with most homes offering direct taxiway access to attached or detached private aircraft hangars and the Weddington school zoning that anchors the broader Union County estate market.

Aero Plantation was conceived as a residential airpark in the late 1980s — a niche typology with fewer than 600 examples nationally and a single representative in the Charlotte luxury market. The community is owner-operated through a homeowners' association that maintains the runway, taxiways, and shared aviation infrastructure as a private community asset.

Estate parcels range from 1-acre interior lots without direct taxiway access to 3–5 acre runway-frontage parcels with dedicated taxiways and detached hangars sized for single-engine pistons through small turboprops. The strongest principal estates pair principal residences with hangar-and-shop buildings, guesthouses, and dedicated aviation workshops.

Pricing reflects both the residential market and the rarity of the typology. Interior parcels without direct taxiway access range from $1.2M to $1.8M. Mid-tier taxiway-access estates range from $1.8M to $2.5M. Premium runway-frontage estates with hangar buildings clear $2.5M–$3.5M+, with the strongest aviation-principal estates frequently transacting through private-pilot networks rather than the public market.
