The insulated airplane hangars can accommodate multiple airplanes, RVs, boats, race cars, trucks, agricultural equipment, or virtually any large-scale hobby or business operation. Equipped with 220V electric, built-in air lines for tools, an air-conditioned workshop, and office space, the property is ideal for mechanics, aviation enthusiasts, fabricators, collectors, contractors, or entrepreneurs looking to combine business, storage, and recreation in one location.
