Property details

Eyre Plain- Private Lifestyle with Airfield Access

Nestled privately at the end of a long, meandering driveway, Eyre Plain is a rare opportunity to secure one of just a handful of properties with direct private access to the Forest Field Aerodrome. Set on 10 acres (4ha) of beautifully landscaped grounds and olive groves, this immaculately maintained property combines country serenity with a touch of aviation excitement. Having loved their time here, the current owners have made the difficult decision to embark on their next chapter, creating an incredible opportunity for the next custodians of this special home.

While neighbouring airfield properties feature hangars, this one does not - giving you the opportunity to design and build your own custom hangar or simply enjoy the tranquil setting and the occasional passing aircraft, as the current owners do.

The solid brick home has timeless character and sits surrounded by manicured gardens and sweeping lawns. Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, complete with a cosy fireplace, heat transfer system and panel heating for year-round comfort. Large north-facing windows flood the home with natural light and frame picturesque views over the gardens and towards Mount Oxford.

A second lounge can be closed off for privacy and includes its own outdoor access - ideal as a media room, guest space or home office.
The master suite is generously sized, featuring a walk-in robe, ensuite, and double sliding doors that open to a private undercover patio. Three additional double bedrooms (all with wardrobes) share a well-presented family bathroom.

Practicality is covered with an internal-access double garage, separate laundry, and excellent storage throughout. Outside, the property includes a large shed with an extended carport-perfect for a caravan-along with a workshop and lock-up bay.

The setting is truly special - peaceful, private, and surrounded by like-minded neighbours who take pride in living in this sought-after airfield community. The Forest Field Aerodrome itself is professionally maintained and enjoys an excellent reputation.

Whether you're a pilot, hobbyist, or simply looking for a beautiful and private lifestyle property with a unique twist, Eyre Plain is a standout. Get in touch with Ryan today or come along to an open home.
