Aero Plantation in Waxhaw is a paradise of natural beauty, and serene living. These custom built homes have some pretty unique features as well. Many of them have private airplane hangers as there is a 2400 foot paved, lighted radio activated aircraft runway and hanger available for residents use. In fact, small aircraft have the right of way on neighborhood roads.
Aero Plantation was originally planned by James D. Nisbet, a wealthy businessman and engineer. His vision for the community included the airstrip, 38 acres of lakes, 88 acres of common land, 7 miles of paved roads, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a nine hole golf course (three of the holes are currently maintained). He divided the remaining land into 110 mostly wooded large lots, each at least 2 acres in size. Lots range from meadow to hardwood forest. They can be lakefront, runway front, or serene and secluded.
There are many unique features in Aero Plantation including custom artwork at the entrance by Tom Nonn. Nonn is a professor of art at UNCC and is a long time resident. There is also a suspension bridge over the lower lake built as a replica of the George Washington Bridge in New York. The bridge provides access to a gazebo and golf green and tee across the lake.
Aero Plantation has been declared a wildlife sanctuary. Many species of birds, animals and fish live in the lakes, meadows, and forests. Residents may also own horses, one horse per 2 acres of pasture. They may ride their horses along the road shoulders. Fishing is allowed in the lakes, from shore or using small, unpowered or troll powered boats. One resident pulled a 10 pound trophy bass from the lake.
