• PROPERTY: RARE OPPORTUNITY to own an amenity-rich airport with significant continued development potential. Inspired by classic British airfields, Gloster Aerodrome (FAA identifier 1XA7) is a beautifully designed and meticulously maintained airport ideally suited for day VFR and general aviation activities in Class G and E Airspace. 1XA7 is privately owned and deeded as a “Public Use Airport” which restricts its use solely to aviation related business. Since 2019, the airport is also protected by the city of South Frydek, a Class C municipality with ordinances that prohibit all high-density living developments that would interfere with the airport’s aviation rights. • FAA INFORMATION: www.airnav.com/airport/1XA7. • LOCATION: Less than 20 minutes from Katy’s extensive retail sector, just south of Sealy, Texas. Less than an hour from Downtown Houston. • ACREAGE: 81+ acres with extensive engineering drainage. • THREE TURF RUNWAYS, HARD SURFACE TAXIWAYS: Runway 2/20 is 3292’ x 70’ (1003m x 21m). Runway 7/25 is 3220’ x 150’ (981m x 46m). Runway 9/27 is 2152’ x 100’ (656m x 30m). Hangars are accessed by hard surface taxiways. • TOPOGRAPHY: Flat. At 145 feet above sea level, Gloster Aerodrome has never flooded. It sits atop some of the highest land of the lower Brazos Valley, yet also has had extensive engineered drainage, including two detention ponds and miles of swales and ditches. • RESIDENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS: Gloster Village, consisting of four homes. An RV park with 14 slots. The seller’s 3289 SF home on 23 beautiful acres is available for sale at $1.2MM upon sale of the airport. • COMMERCIAL IMPROVEMENTS: Fifteen 40’x40’ hangars, two 60’x60’ hangars, a 60’x120’ building/shop with storage building, all individually metered for electricity, and all presently rented. All hangars are accessed by hard surface taxiways. A fuel depot that provides 100LL aviation fuel is accessed by a large concrete apron—is self-serve and computer coded. A 2550 SF three-story community center/event venue with observatory decks, wet bar bar, chairs, tables, three restrooms, and large stabilized parking area. • DESIGN: This airport was designed to resemble an old WWII type British Airfield, so all hangars have curved tops and straight sides. The name is from the old English Aircraft Corporation that developed military aircraft in WWI and WWII. • INVESTMENT POTENTIAL: The 16 Gloster hangers are consistently leased. The continued shortage of hangars in an every-growing Houston metropolitan area affords continuing significant development potential with up to several hundred nested T-hangers. • VARIOUS: The adjacent 21-lot Glostershire Aviation Subdivision’s residents have through-the-fence aircraft access to the airport. This subdivision’s HOA is in charge of maintaining the almost mile-long Meteor Rd. The flight school and Chinook kit manufacturer are not part of the airport sale. • WEBSITE: Gloster Aerodrome website: glosteraerodrome.com/index.html
