New Milford, Connecticut (May 30, 2018) — William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty today announced that the firm has listed for sale the Candlelight Farms Airport, one of Connecticut’s few grass strip airports. The 35 acre property at 5 Green Pond Road is listed for $1,750,000 and is represented by Washington Depot agents Rick Distel and Fred Bond.
Minutes from New Milford’s famed Candlewood Lake, the airport is located just 30 miles from Westchester County, New York, and 50 miles from Greenwich, Connecticut. This places Candlelight Farms Airport within a strategic radius of private aircraft owners, many of whom may be interested in the opportunity to own their own private airfield.
In addition to the turf runway that measures 2,900 by 50 feet, the property also includes a collector-quality hangar that was custom crafted and features a steel-framed, 6,000 square-foot structure with a metal roof.
Access to the hangar is through 60 by 15 foot automatic doors on opposite sides of the structure. The aircraft hangar is spacious enough to store up to ten Piper Cub sized airplanes, a classic car collection, or a mix of aircraft and vehicles.
“We consistently see New York City- based clients with extensive car collections,” Bond said “The beautiful hangar would be a great place for an owner’s collection of automobiles in addition to his or her planes. The airport is only 30 miles from Lime Rock Park, so an owner could fly up from Greenwich, pick up a car and drive up to Lime Rock for some racing. It makes for a perfect day in the country.”
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase your own airport,” said Distel. “It’s not everyday that you see a small airport go on the market, and even rarer in a bucolic setting like this one. This unique property would be a fantastic asset for a high net worth individual, a collective of private plane owners, or an investor.”
