National Airpark and Country Club

An Exclusively Planned Residential Airpark & Country Club Community

The Vision

Arrive and taxi your aircraft to your residence, play championship golf, enjoy the vast outdoors and luxury country club living in a smart, secure, green energy exclusively planned estate – encompassing 8,000+ acres with like-minded individuals; by developing an exclusive modern community that will set an example of what can be accomplished with proper planning, funding, administration and good people. Aero Estates National Airpark & Country Club is a state-of-the-art planned development that will be located near a metropolitan center in Montana, Colorado, Utah, Pennsylvania or a vast outdoor setting designed to embody a lifestyle of aviation, golf, horseback riding, luxury living, and sustainable green energy. Aero Estates National Airpark & Country Club will represent the pinnacle of success in life and business as defined by aviation, entrepreneurship, golf, and play.

The following is an ambitious and bold project designed to provide a unique quality of life, easy access to business centers and a gateway to the world from your doorstep.  A private residential development integrating a residential airpark, a championship level golfing community, an exclusive country club and diverse outdoor activities that ties it all together. We believe in integrating aviation mobility, championship level golf, an elegant country club, racquet club, elite fitness center, equestrian facility, outdoor luxury living and striving to be energy independent. We also believe high-net-worth individuals wish to create a unique lifestyle that blends the best of what modern society has to offer, but also offers privacy, security, luxury amenities and the natural beauty of the great outdoors. Play championship golf, hit the racquet club or elite fitness center in the morning and then fly into the city for a meeting or a night on the town. Aero Estates National Airpark & Country Club Subdivision will strive to be energy independent by creating green sustainable energy through the conversion of waste to clean electricity (an existing technology called Gasification), a 10-Megawatt community-solar farm, green houses, and other available technologies.

Aero Estates Development Group, Inc. will create a “uniquely ambitious development” that will integrate aviation, golf, country club, and outdoor luxury living for active individuals within a 8,000+ acre privately owned development. We will act as the project developer and will manage strategic partnerships for design, development and completion of the exclusive property. The five phased development will take 3-years to develop the infrastructure and initiate sales, and a total of 14-years to complete the project. Furthermore, the ambitious project will take 2-years to complete the design and feasibility, secure approvals, 2-years to complete the initial development and we generate positive cash flow in year five.

Development Concept

Aero Estates Development Group, Inc. will act as the project developer and will manage strategic partnerships for design, development, and completion of the exclusive property. The five phase development will take 3-years to develop the infrastructure and initiate sales, and a total of 14-years to complete the project. An ambitious project such as this, will take 2-years to complete the design and feasibility, secure approvals and permits, 2-years to complete initial development and we generate positive cash flow in year five (presales are not factored in).

Aero Estates Development Group has located several potential development sites (8,000+ acres) initially in Montana, Colorado, Utah, and Pennsylvania.  The developer’s strategic vision is to build a number of networked and themed residential airpark and golfing communities built over 15-20 years; revolving around a common shared passion: Aviation, Golf and/or The Outdoors. Providing aviators, aircraft owners, golfers and active individuals the opportunity to share different resources at discounted rates where different amenities are available. Other locations could offer seasonal sports and activities (snow skiing, boating, equestrianism, arts and crafts, etc.).  The Southeastern United States would be an ideal location for outdoor activities, boating, beach, hiking, hunting, etc. themed development.  Aero Estates NationalAirpark & Country Club will strive to be energy independent by creating green sustainable energy through the conversion of waste to clean electricity, 10-Megawatt community-solar farm, green houses, and other available technologies.  We can easily scale the development as we have designed a smaller project like Aero Estates Executive Airpark and a larger project called Aero Estates Presidential Airpark . In 10-15 years, we envision developing future land and skyport communities and skyport infrastructure (business centers, shopping malls, rooftop launchpads, etc.) as flying vehicles, aerial ridesharing, skyports and space travel bring new opportunities in the not too distant future.  Residential airpark communities have similar qualities that future skyports will provide. They essentially link all forms of urban transportation, make our communities an integral component of the transportation evolution, decreasing traffic congestion, enhance quality of life and make the community more accessible to the global market.

We currently seek funding through a partner that shares the same passions for aviation, golf, and the outdoors to develop Aero Estates NationalAirpark & Country Club – a 920-unit residential airpark and golfing community. The partner(s) will likely be someone or a group who share the same passion and vision we have and are energized by our fun, profitable, sustainable and legacy worthy project. The development requires $649 million spread across a four-year funding structure. The scale of this project will be the largest, most modern and elaborate residential airpark and country club communities in the world.  Let’s build that dream!  The yearly club member and POA fees for residents, social member fees, non-resident golf course fees, guest rental property, grand ballroom and hangar rentals, pro shop and beverage cart revenue and other funding streams; will provide the yearly operational and maintenance expenses to create a sustainable and thriving community for generations to come.

The development is essentially split in two with one side providing direct access to the two runways via taxiways from the residential lots on the airpark side and a golfer’s paradise on the other. All having access to the country club and numerous other amenities from the residential lots, townhouses and condo units. Additional amenities include a full-service FBO, Aviation Business Park, and two (2) championship-level signature designed 18-hole par 72 golf courses, and a 9-hole short course. A world-class training facility, 400-yard practice range and a second basic range to provide different options for golfers to practice and warm up. We aspire and have designed the development to host PGA and USGA tournaments in the future. The 9,800 x 130-foot FAA approved instrument approach runway, a Full-Service FBO and Aviation Business Park with 30 commercial sites ranging from 0.75 acres to 3-acres. Easily accommodating large business jets (e.g., Gulfstream G700, Bombardier Global 7500) and helicopters able to taxi back unobstructed to the airpark residential lots via a network of 40-foot wide taxiways with 140-foot setbacks between structures. Aircraft will not overfly the golf course side of the development to minimize any noise concerns. Additional first-class amenities includes an elegantly designed grand country club with all the amenities you would expect, restaurant, bar & grill, an adjacent elite fitness center, day spa, men’s boardroom salon, racquet club with a tournament main center court alongside fourteen synthetic clay lighted tennis courts and ten pickleball courts, a resort style pool with a splash park for kids and adults, adjacent lawn bowling greens, bocce ball, croquet, giant outdoor chess sets and shuffleboard. The development also will include an state-or-the-art equestrian facility, large park with soccer and football goals, baseball field, fitness stations, covered kids play areas, camping area, extensive jogging, walking, biking & obstacle course trails and gated 24/7 on-site security.

The development of Aero Estates National Airpark & Country Club Subdivision will require 3-6 months to confirm suitable development sites, conduct feasibility analysis, due diligence, obtain site surveys, evaluate site data, preliminary zoning investigation and narrow down the selection to 1-2 development sites. We’ll begin refining the conceptual plans by teaming with professional aviation, club, golf and tennis firms and consultants, then begin subdivision planning with a selected design-build general contracting firm. The remaining part of the first year we’ll select a final master plan, focus on regulatory requirements and land entitlements (impacts, environmental assessments, reports, studies, zone changes, etc.), finalize a site selection and enter into a right of first refusal land contract. Year two will begin with hiring the remaining development team, completing the land entitlement process, subdivision platting, submitting the preliminary plan and begin the subdivision review process with the local planning board. We’ll also begin our on-line marketing campaign to include magazine articles and exhibit at a national airshow and golf expo. The last half of year two, we’ll finalize construction plans with the design team, receive subdivision planning approval and complete the land acquisition process. Early in year three, we’ll break ground, finalize on-boarding the development team with a majority of the major development completed in the 3rd quarter of year four. Our detailed Action Plan outlines development, marketing and sales milestones, goals and tasks for each of the five phases required to successfully stay on schedule, within budget, meeting sales goals and mitigating risk. In years 5-14, we’ll complete the phased developments expanding available residential lots and amenities within the subdivision and focus on meeting and exceeding our yearly sales goals.

 

Amenities

Foot Paved Runway

Square Foot FBO/Pilot Lounge

Signature & Championship Golf Courses

9,800 x 130 FOOT RUNWAY WITH GPS APPROACHES

Aero Estates National Airpark & Country Club’s lighted paved runways and helipads are the gateway to the world with adjacent homes and will be the focal point for annual fly-in events. Airpark residents will enjoy runway access from residential lots via 40-foot wide taxiways (140-foot setbacks), full-service FBO, GPS Approaches, Pilot-Controlled Lighting (PCL), Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS-3), Standard Instrument Departures (SID), Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System with Runway Alignment Indicator Lights (MALSR), Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI), Airport Beacon, and FAA compliant lighted Helipads with PAPI.

We have often heard that there is nothing like being able to walk out of your back door to your hangar into your plane and take off for an adventure. Many fantasize about the lifestyle of living in a community of like-minded and fun-minded aviators. More and more pilots are finally deciding to stop dreaming and to start living at airparks across the country. The paved runways will have adjacent homes and residents will enjoy taxiway access from airpark lots, 24/7 self-serve fuel (100LL & Jet-A), aircraft parking area for guests and a 30,000 square foot FBO and hangar for flight planning, relaxing and a common place to get things done.

There is an opportunity to stand up a Flight Department to support the business travel for the initial development (Years 1-4) with the initial purchase of two Gulfstream G550 large business jets, AgustaWestland AW139 medium-lift helicopter, Pilatus PC-24 light business jet and a Pilatus PC-12 NGX single-engine turboprop aircraft. This department will be led by a recognized Director of Aviation, 16 crew and 5 administrative staff. These shared resources along with an experienced and professional flight department will then transition into an Air Charter Service in year five for residents and clients providing safe, efficient, and productive business and leisure travel.

 

FBO/Pilot Lounge and Hangar

30,000 Square Foot Full-Service FBO and 81,000 Square Foot Hangar

 
The 30,000 square foot full-service FBO will be the place to plan your next flight, link up with your pilot or passengers, relax with fellow aviators, address any last-minute business needs, enjoy a museum of aviation articles and enjoy some refreshments. The 170′ x 110′ x 35′ canopy provides a covered aircraft parking area, allowing drive-up service for even the largest business aircraft. The FBO will include full-service aviation support, maintenance, full and self-service fuel, an attached 300′ x 270′ x 35′ hangar, and a 350,000 square foot aircraft parking area. The Aviation Business Park will include 30 commercial pads sites ranging from 0.75 acres to 3 acres and 70 hangars for sale and rent with direct access to the runway, attracting aviation companies providing innovative work in the industry. An opportunity also exists for a lease to own FBO, offering primary support services to the general aviation community.

Country Club

Elegantly Designed Grand Country Club

An elegantly designed grand country club with a pro shop, restaurants, adjacent elite fitness center, day spa, men’s boardroom salon, racquet club with a tournament main center court alongside ten synthetic clay tennis courts and eight pickleball courts, resort style pool, splash park and outdoor spaces are good for pleasure and business. With the right amenities and features, the surrounding country club location becomes a go-to destination for friends and family when they’re not in the air, playing a round of golf, tennis, swimming, biking or enjoying the other amenities like four adjacent lawn bowling greens, four bocce ball courts, four croquet courts, four giant outdoor chess sets and four shuffleboard courts. The estimated 70,000 sq/ft country club with front and back wrap around covered patios will be furnished comfortably and with a touch of custom decorative accents, romance fireplaces and lighting to capture the moment. The club will be the focal point for those playing sports, enjoying a meal and drinks or just a common place to come and meet friends to relax.
 

Gated Front Entrance

Two 24/7 Manned Security Entrance and Exit Locations

The modern designed guard gated front entrances will be the vehicle and pedestrian entrance and exit point for the community. The professional security guards will control access, conduct roving patrols, enhance the safety of the residence and their assets, and provide an added level of protection for the development’s amenities. We will leverage security technology solutions to automate entry procedures for the residence, easily allow registering of guests and to monitor activity outside and within the development. All designed to maximize safety, protect you, your family, and your property.

Two Championship-Level – Signature Designed 18-Hole Par 72 Courses, 9-Hole Short Course

We will team with two well-known and nationally acclaimed golf course design firms to create two (2) championship-level signature designed 18-hole par 72 golf courses and a 9-hole short course. A world-class training facility, 400-yard range and a second basic range to provide different options for golfers to practice and warm up. We aspire and have designed the development to host PGA and USGA tournaments in the future. Some people think golf is a sport stuck in traditional ways, but it is actually constantly evolving. New and exciting courses have battled their way into the golf rankings, and we will make every attempt to achieve the expert’s high ranking. The course layouts will focus on testing a pro golfer’s skills through a variety of doglegs, distances, and hazards through a diversification of different shots. The intent is to design each course around the ambiance, where you can sense the traditions of the game of golf.

Resort-Style Pool

Pool with Lap Lanes, Splash Park and Water Features

There’s nothing more refreshing than plunging into a sparkling pool on a hot day with the blue sky above. The private “waterfront” tailor-designed resort-style pool will feature infinity edges, lap lanes, water features, a splash park for kids, glamorous landscaping, cabanas, and automated cleaning and heating. The pool area will be an extension of the modern and elite fitness center coordinating trim details and colors, to include an outdoor kitchen for parties and gatherings.

 


Racquet Club with Tennis & Pickleball Courts

Tournament Main Center Court with 12 Lighted Tennis and Pickleball Courts

Sports are great for so many different reasons. They all (well most) offer great workouts, competition, camaraderie and fun.  But what sport is the best?  Well tennis is, of course!  A first-class racquet club with a tournament main center court alongside 6 synthetic clay lighted tennis courts and 6 pickleball courts, will be perfect for the competitive player or maybe to take a lesson from someone to improve your game. The courts will be separated by covered sitting areas to relax between games and to enjoy time with friends.

Equestrian Facility​

Competition-Level Outdoor and Indoor Riding Arenas

State-of-the-art stables with a custom 120’ x 200’ indoor riding arena and a 150’ x 300’ outdoor riding arena. The premier equestrian complex will include a 50-stall barn (with tack room, office, dorms, feed room, and wash bay), several fenced pastures, riding trails, a heated and lighted indoor riding arena, and an outdoor Olympic-size dressage arena. Coaching and training staff can be funded by users of the facility.

Jogging, Biking, Hiking and Obstacle Trails

Extensive Improved Surface Trail System

Leadership and Management

 

Robert E. Huber, PMP – CEO/Developer

Robert previously owned and developed Aero Estates Airpark (T25) from 2002 to 2012.  Aero Estates Airpark is a successful residential airport community located on 120-acres along Lake Palestine in East Texas. Aero Estates Airpark has a 3,100 x 60-foot Bermuda grass runway, taxiways from all lots, pilot-controlled lighting, heliport, floatplane dock, visual approach slope indicator (VASI), and a four-acre lakefront common area.  The family founded Aero Estates, LP in 2002 to provide aviation enthusiasts with a pilot-friendly community in a shared interest residential environment.  Robert was responsible for property development, operations, future development, marketing, and sales.  It was a great opportunity and time to conceptualize and develop the property with his father, George, and stepmother, Maud.  They built a beautiful airpark on a shoestring budget, based on hard work, determination, perseverance, and a lot of learning along the way.  They also learned how important it is to effectively collaborate with the Property Owners Association on issues of community matters.  Aero Estates Airpark (T25) had numerous fly-in events and brought in surrounding communities which promoted interest and camaraderie. Residents enjoyed afternoons and evenings on the lakefront paired with airpark gatherings, boating, and water sports.

The Huber family developed and sold 167 residential airpark lots at Aero Estates Airpark while balancing full-time careers.  Robert attended numerous airshows like EAA’s AirVenture Oshkosh Fly-in Convention in Wisconsin and the Sun-n-Fun Expo in Florida as an exhibitor to get exposure and successfully generated business.
