Heaven's Landing, A New Home For High Fliers

For owners of private planes, the lure of being able to fly home is a powerful one. Mike Ciochetti, a race car driver and pilot is developing Heaven's Landing, a development on a mountaintop in Georgia. The development has a 5,069-foot concrete runway, the world's only two-story hangar and a clubhouse which will have a lounge, dining room and fitness center. There will also be tennis and equestrian area as well as a swimming pool. Homesites start at $125,000 and homes are priced from $500,000 to $3 million. Homes must be at least 2500 square feet and be reviewed by a committee for design approval.

General Aviation News covers Ciochetti's story. He broke his shoulder in 1999 during a race at Talladega Superspeedway putting an end to his NASCAR dreams. After that event, Ciochetti decided to turn the land at Heaven's Landing, which he had procured for a private estate, into a development for those looking for a fly-in home. Heaven's Landing is three miles from the city of Clayton and will be a second home for some while others plan to use it as a primary residence. Up next is a plan to but condos on top of the attached hangars.

If you really love your airplane now you can live above it. Carousel Condos are designed to be affordable hangar-home living. The hangar suites can be used as a primary residence or a second home. The computer-controlled carousel hangar area lets one person position the rotating floor at the hangar door to bring in or remove a plane easily. Each owner-occupant has equal access to the environmentally controlled hangar and an upper level suite. Expenses in the common hangar areas are shared by utilities for the suites are separate for each owner.
