A subdivision of eight custom high-end homes, Lakeway Airpark Estates, has been cleared for takeoff on the east side of Lakeway's airpark, said the development's exclusive builder, Steve Zbranek, partner at Zbranek and Holt Custom Homes.
Zbranek, who owns two airplanes based at the Lakeway Airpark, is using his experience as a commercial pilot and instructor to create the homesites for customers wanting easy access to their aircraft.
"These [homesites] are for buyers who want to hit the garage door opener, pull their car into the front of their home and then hit the hangar door opener for their plane to [taxi] out of the back of their home," Zbranek said.
Seven sites will include attached hangers, and most of the lots are long and narrow, a good size, Zbranek said, to accommodate an airplane hangar connected to a breezeway that adjoins a home. One homesite does not directly abut the taxiway, but will be close enough to access its hangar by golf cart, he said.
