I Bought 100 Acres w/ Airplane Hangar in the Middle of Nowhere!

- I had the unique opportunity to buy this 100 acres out in Hudspeth County, TX. It came with an old airplane hangar that is about 7,000 sq feet. It has living quarters and an old gravel runway that's a mile long!
I like this property a lot. It has a very nice feel to it.
It's amazing that you have electricity already run out there, that's worth a small fortune. Lot's of potential in this!
Keep most of the hangar usable as a hangar. And do what needs to be done for the strip to be usable.
If you make it a lodge, a lot of hunters and campers fly and have planes. They may not always have a STOL plane for back country but it would appeal to them to be able to fly in and spend the week there. They would want to park their aircraft in the hangar.
So keep it so 2-3 planes can fit in the hangar at a time. A group of a few hunters and pilot friends can fly in. Or even if they are not hunters they can fly in as a just a get away with a few friends and pilots.
You would appeal to not only hunters or outdoors people but pilots as well. So keep the hangar USABLE AS A HANGAR.
Cartel has entered the chat.
This is a totally underrated comment.
Definitely get a front wall/hangar door with a man door to keep the inside clean and weather free.
@@boboso7238 ....😲
I wondered who bought that old piece of land. If I remember correctly, only about 2,700 feet of that runway is usable. Very good purchase though. Congrats!
As a best case scenario I'm surprised illegals weren't squatting in that apartment being so close to the border.
You could also have a diesel generator. And a Solar System. With plenty of battery backup. You've got a prize man. Little time and a little money.
Set up a rain collection/filtration system off the hanger to reduce need to have someone fill the tanks.
Tires in the ground look like tie downs for airplanes.
You should get a solar system , so you're off the grid. And you can bring in water. Just conserve it.
It was also thinking you could have a Cement. patio or something like that.
Tires sunk into ground are most likely 'tie-downs' for planes that overflow the hanger. Potentially anyways. If you want to make runway safer, try and put the power lines at the end of runway, underground, that would eliminate any potential wire strikes from pilots unfamiliar with that strip.
if the foundation is settling, check the depth and width of the perimeter building footing. A Engineer can easily calk. a fix for that if needed. You want to check that before you do more work.
those counter rotating fans upstairs are cool!
Great idea JAZ Hunting Lodge & Camp grounds, pool table, ping pong, wet bar, arcade games, do an indoor vented fire pit/fireplace seating area, tent camping RV camping, what a great opportunity.
All sounds good to me
@@jonjasniakYeah. That's a great idea. It sounds like a money Maker to me. Ha ha
I live in El Paso. I can't wait to visit Cornudas once you have it all up and running! Been following your videos for a bit.
Wow. You are much more of a visionary than I am. I see a ton of time and money to reach your goal. Best of luck.
Spray-foam to seal the roof, walls & edges from dust ingress! (some insulation factor to keep the cooling in!)
Desert Club! DJ's, food trucks, speakers, bar. You'd be rich in a month! lol
I have been looking for a place like that my whole life to make a home out of. Biggest problem is water and backup power to run the place. In the summer the heat in the hangar will be unbearable. Easiest way to cool the hangar is with the Reifers out of 18 wheelers. BTDT. Not that expensive. I wish I would have seen it first I would have bought it right away. Water is an issue and 2000 gallons is not enough you need 4 times that with filtration systems. Airplane Survival Hangar. I would love to live there. You could fix it up on a $250,000 budget. That would be close. Good Purchase.
This would be a great base for Jeep trips to Guadalupe Adventure Trails. Hopefully Williams Ranch will be open again soon.
1.. Don’t rip any part of the air strip . Bring in a grader and have them make 2 passes and it’ll be like new ..
2.. Hanger doors will need the seal strips installed to be weather tight ..
3.. You need one more water tank
Awesome deal wish I had you to do some investing in Oklahoma I’ve got great deal fast money flippers .. just don’t have all the capitol ..
Keep up the good work looks awesome !!
You know that's a nice property.. Only one problem. An airstrip in the middle of nowhere with a hangar Is a magnet for cartel activity. And now that you've advertised it on TH-cam, I hope you have plenty of guns and a military mindset and the time to guard that place.
That's very true, and he should have a few guard dogs.
Hangar door is important. I could be interested, mebbe 300k. Depends on location. Which I don't seem to have detected.
I’d make a large Booddocking campground and use the hangar as a store and hangout place
I used to seal up individual screws at a storage facility with a clear sealant ..it was a pain for sure lol ..I can't imagine how many screws are on the hangar and if each overlap is going to need those foam insert things..excited to see the progress and what's in store for the property ..good buy and content ..keep up the good work!
Appreciate it!
What a FUN project to have. I enjoyed this video and will watch more. Enjoy being creative and prosperous. Cheers !!
2 hrs (by road) to Ciudad Juárez third most dangerous city on Planet Earth...
Landing strip in the middle of nowhere.
Good Luck ☠☠
Border Patrol operates low altitude radar blimps all along the border. FAA / CAP / USAF monitor anything above that. You'd have to be a very brave SOB to fly across the border without air clearance. Turn back or be shot down.
Those people that you may be referencing are known as "investors".
😮no thank you smells like trouble to me
I thought it was hilarious you got excited about 12 tubes of liquid nails , You just spent 175k and talking about another 60k in renovations.
It’s because people like us are where we are because we save every dollar we can when making moves and if your smart about things that allows you to spend in other areas. He’s smart man
@@beenhacked2268 yeah yeah I get it every penny helps but seriously that’s like $100 worth of liquid nails. If you don’t have that big cock Ing Guy gotta go buy one of those. I’m jealous though that hangers awesome. That’s a good deal. Hopefully the cartel doesn’t land any of its planes there and claim that it’s theirs.
@@beenhacked2268That's right, very well said. My wife of 26 years did the same thing. She bought this house in Apple Valley, California, in 2010 2020. She paid it off. And she was murdered by a Doctor. He fried her like a French fry. And what's worse? Is the medical board of California does absolutely nothing.
God bless
True 😂
@@jonjasniak hey boss man do you need any workers?
Would you be interested in short term leasing the property for some flight testing?
Great work bro, just finished all 3 podcast an come back to see this video drop. Stay Grinding
Lots of ideas coming your way, I don't have any idea as t to zoning and environmental laws, but water and septic is always job one.The first baby step is to rent the hangar for RV parking, out of the sun and wind,use that money and time under those circumstances to see where things lead you, good luck!
They probably still land there!
Best way to seal the hanger is use that light tower and set it up inside and light it up and get on the roof with a screw gun and a caulking gun you will see the light coming through
Good idea actually
Those tires are probable airplane tiedown, for parking a airplane outside, if you park a airplane in the front of the building you will need hold-downs for it.
If you fix the runway, you will need parking for the airplanes with hold-downs for the airplanes in those designated airplane parking area's.
Jon Jasniak, yep. fix the roof and make a cover as a door for the front. then u can begin to knock-out the other stuff. thank safety/only 50 miles to Mexico
That looks like a good place to have a non-descript underground bunker to ride out the apocalypse lol. Hope you have good access to water.
RV park for sure.... shooting range aero club.....
Call the power company have those overhead power lines buried. Fix the runway. Set some fuel there. You could definitely Open your rental up to people with real money. Huge aviation parties.
The roof of the building is a natural rain collection system
Damn bro that’s like my dream place it’s ugly but you could have a huge workshop in the hanger and lots of property to ride toys on.
I was running toilet paper out of there during the pandemic 😂
Toilet paper, what is that? Out here in the middle of nowhere we didn’t need toilet paper we used rocks, leaves, Bushes, our fingers, basically what ever was handy. Thanks
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Looks like scorched earth or Mars to me but I love the structure and improvements. Did I miss the price? 100 acres.... with the building.... $150K maybe?
Make a private drag strip with all the electronics
I would use it as a prepper paradise! Is what I did to my property up in the mountains, super secluded, at least 9 miles from the closest road. Unfortunately in your case, you got a major road very, very close to it, potentially make it very vulnerable, specially if you are a stone throw away from Mexico! 💥☠️
Wow, you got a bargain on that property! Congratulations.
I seen a thing about airplane hangars apparently you can rent them relatively cheaply the only problem is is that you can't move in now of course that doesn't really affect you your own private land and I think you can probably do anything you want with your airplane hangar on your private property but I think if you start trying to turn it into a B&B or whatever then it gets to be problematic anyway regardless it's a great party destination
Hangar space is a premium everywhere
Thats awesome.
So, Cornudas is a town with it's own airport now?
Invest in a little bit of money and insulate it, but use some good stuff. Not that crummy stuff.
You will be happy you did that.
And if it's still too hot, get a swamp cooler.
I bought a 4 way which is for the roof and I put it in the patio. And put some legs on it and 38 inch tubes through the window. Because my original air conditioner unit on the roof is expensive to run on. My electricity bill. And I cut it in half. Swamp coolers are great. They really do work. And because mine's in the patio, it's in the shade and that makes it even better.
But anyways, nice piece of property. God bless.
I’d leave some area for those who want to fly in especially well to do folks on a hunting trip.
Nice property, and awesome hangar. Concerned though if the location was rentable, wouldn't the previous owner have done it? Why fire-sale a money printer? 🤔
Perfect for solar, you could run a/c all day and not worry about electric bill
Really nice purchase, Jon! Would you consider sharing the annual property taxes with us? $1750 / acre is a killer price but I'm always concerned the county will take more than their fair share in taxes.
Yes, you're right. It's called corruption. F. t. g.
Replace the locks. Install a hangar door.
Put a virtual golf bay in there.
You need to arrange an avgas bowser, sort the runway and advertise for FBO services with accommodation.
A private runway, rent as a plane hanger.
Awesome property with so much potential. I’d stay there as a home base to do the Guadalupe Rim overland Trail.
Exactly! Just worried about price points and what people will pay
@@jonjasniakIf you don't try it, you won't know God bless.
Maybe in time when you pay everything off. You can turn the runway into a blacktop. Instead of dirt, I'm just saying.
That's awesome brother 👍
I finally picked some land south of DC. Maybe you can rent it to a guy who's been looking to buy his first helo. 🤔 See at the cafe soon! You just mentioned your plan for an old aircraft, 😆 give me a call, i know a guy.
If I could draw my dream house, this is what I mean, I wish you the best but I am jealous, I live in the Netherlands and under 100k there are only garages for sale in the entire country, no one has that much land here
@@kirkslayden834 correctd and god bless you to
Early 1900's? Was that Wilbur and Orville Gonzalles flying hemp in from old Mexico?
You are so blessed !
you can use this place for fire fighting in that area
Location, location, location. Not sure if the building is worth what you think. Might be good for a pilot/aircraft owner, but otherwise sounds like a money pit for what you are proposing? Good luck
Put a commercial ice maker for the hunters
Is there a gutter on the hanger for rain water catching
Racetrack you say . And a mile ?
Concert venue!
you can use the Liquid Nails is Seal up all those holes .
That long runway plus the large hanger for storage and then with Mexico right next door, I can't even begin to imagine what I could do with that property, if you know what I mean.
You need to metal detect the property to see if they left more stuff.
If you subdivide, keep the runway and setup the lots to access a service road/taxiway on the one side of the runway and bill it for people to build fly-in subdivision.
Sorry 😞 check the shelf life of liquid nails?
I’ll take the whole thing off your hands for 50k
Nothing like your dad giving you the money and platform
Nice looking property. Looks like a cartel setup lol Looks like there is two runways. You may need to get a water truck to haul your own water.
That is what I thought 😅
Awesome
I watched your videos, way before I got your offers for Andrews County.
Maybe 15K for the lift fully working
Nice buy love something like that
What a steal...Got a place to hangout..
buy a plane get a pilots license, fix the runway fix it up some enjoy it, seems to be in good condition overall
wow thats cool
I like it.
Should turn the one corner of the living room with the window in to a second bedroom or office, would be able to rent it out for more.
Where exactly is this? Are you near Del City? 50 miles from the U.S. Mexico Border?
I would buy it now
air plane resort sub devide and all acess air strip key the mic and the lights go on !!!
Fly in clamping and rv resort. Gold mine.
Are you at located in Texas cool property by the way?
And this was used for what?
Really bad audio every time you went outside. When you were up on ladder couldn't understand a lot of it. Did you have a mic? Either way, enjoying your projects! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Ya we have mics haha sometimes we use them sometimes not 🤷🏻♂️ I prefer no lavs. We had a shotgun with windbreak but west Texas is brutal sometimes
Ever thought of an RV park?
Yup! I’d rather do it at cornudas property though
Be a good place for off road groups to meet and drive there can am and Polaris buggies
More money than brains
100 acres and no well? Must be some water down there somewhere.
I've heard there's a way to take water out of the air. I live in the high desert. And when it feels like it's gonna rain. I can smell the water in the air. I think it can be done.
@@kirkslayden834 a dehumidifier 😮😂
middle of nowhere...forever... heh...
Let me guess not too far from our southern board? No nabors with prying eyes.
you need to get yourself an Archon f1
Flight school would be nice
This man is on a mission, an im on board for it all, lets go!!!
Love it
@@jonjasniakAnd never give up.
I’m looking for a place to build my dream race track, 75 acres would do to start for my plans, if your interested in help with the money and start up , let me know, thanks BigAl California.
