It features a 42’ x 14’ Hi-Fold electric door, a substantial 48’ x 14’ workshop area, and a convenient half bath — offering functionality, flexibility, and ample space for aircraft, tools, and projects. Located within Pilot Country Estates (X05), residents enjoy access to a lighted, paved 3,700’ x 75’ runway and affordable self-serve AV-GAS, and the community is Golf-Cart friendly. Conveniently positioned off SR 52, just ½ mile from US 41 and approximately 10 miles to I-75, this property provides seamless access throughout the Tampa Bay area — though when you can fly home, driving becomes optional. Luxury fly-in properties of this size and caliber are rarely available. Welcome to refined aviation living at X05.
