At present there are four air park developments (fly-in communities) planned in Idaho. Air parks provide an exciting lifestyle for pilots to actually live with their aircraft and truly enjoy the freedom of this great pasttime.

If you know of more Idaho air parks not listed here, please drop me an email and let me know. I would like to maintain the most complete list of Idaho air parks on the web.

If you are a fellow pilot interested in buying property at an air park, please contact me to discuss your plans. I'd love to help!

SilverWing at Sandpoint

Sandpoint, ID

There are 44 lots adjacent to a county-run airport planned for SilverWing, which sits in beautiful northern Idaho. Here's what the developers have to say:

SilverWing at Sandpoint is a unique “Fly-In Residential Community” located on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille in majestic Sandpoint, Idaho. The development sits on the very edge of town, only a 10 minute drive from the Inland Northwest’s largest ski resort, Schweitzer Mountain.

SilverWing at Sandpoint will be comprised of residential airplane hangars offering freestanding units with aircraft storage area on the ground floor and spacious living quarters on the second level. Unlike most airport properties, SilverWing at Sandpoint offers its residents direct ownership of their own land parcel immediately adjacent to a county-run airport.

The hangar-homes, 44 in all, will be incorporated into a heavily landscaped residential environment, situated to capture the stunning views of the surrounding Selkirk Mountains. Each unit has been designed to blend seamlessly with the rustic yet serene natural environment that sets the project apart from other airparks across the country. 

Sunrise Sky Park

Melba, ID

This doesn't appear to be a viable development yet, but I include it here for information purposes. Here is what the developers have to say:

In the late 1970's after searching most of the West, Les Moncrief decided on the current site of Sunrise Sky Park for his development of a residential airport.  What factors helped to make this decision?

• Land area to develop runway--now paved and lighted for 2900 feet.
• Rural setting with Snake River access.
• Moderate four season climate for year round runway access.
• Close proximity to urban centers.
• Geothermal water for alternative energy.
• Bountiful outdoor recreation.
• Lower living costs.

Red Baron Airpark

Mountain Home, ID

Here's what the developers of Red Baron Airpark have to say:

This air park is the only facility available in all of southwestern Idaho!  Live the dream! Step out your back door and fly off into some of the least congested airspace in the continental United States. Red Baron Estates Airpark is situated literally at the door step to Idaho's world famous back country flying.

The Frank Church Wilderness area is only 45 minutes away by small plane and dozens of other mountain and desert strips are significantly closer. Idaho back country strips offer seclusion, hunting, fishing, hiking, prospecting, camping, rafting, swimming and other outdoor activities. With an airplane in Idaho, you can leave the crowds behind and experience what few can. For the less adventurous, Red Baron Estates Airpark is perfectly positioned to access both Sun Valley and Tamarack Resorts. Portland, Seattle and San Francisco are within easy reach of most single engine airplanes as well.

The airpark itself is located in the high mountain desert at the base of the western edge of the rocky mountains, due East of Boise. Freeway access from the airpark makes it a quick twenty minute commute to shopping and entertainment. The clear, clean air accentuates the fabulous views in all directions, perfect for observing mother nature's awesome artwork through each distinct season.
