Leeward Air Ranch

Leeward Air Ranch is a private, gated residential airpark in Ocala, Florida, built around sport aviation. The community covers 500 acres and has a 6,000 foot reinforced turf runway. Homesites are between half an acre and one acre, close to the runway by taxiway, so owners can keep an aircraft in a hangar at home.

Homes and lots

• New homes with hangars, shown on the site as the Capri, Marquesas and Cornerstone models
• Resale homes and resale lots
• A community master plan
• Real estate services listed as exclusively represented by Aloft Real Estate Services, Inc.

Community

The website covers the airport (rules, traffic pattern, news, fuel prices), social activities, association documents, aviation organisations and the Happy Landings newsletters. It says many residents build or restore aircraft, and that VFR conditions apply more than 300 days a year in central Florida.

Background

The community says it was planned by the Leeward family, who had a background in aviation and real estate development, and that the dream of an aviation community dates to 1980. Kent Leeward is listed as heading operations, including association management, airport management and sales and marketing. The site footer carries a 2008 to 2012 copyright line, so details should be confirmed with the community.
