Chandelle Airpark is a fly-in community in Tullahoma, a small pilot neighborhood of just fifteen homes when it is fully built, right next to Tullahoma Regional Airport (KTHA, William Northern Field) and the Beechcraft Heritage Museum. What makes it what it is: residents have FAA-approved, deeded, through-the-fence access to the airport, so you taxi from your own hangar down the taxiway onto the grass strip (Runway 9/27) and on to the two paved runways, 4,200 feet and 5,500 feet, with pilot-controlled lighting and instrument approaches.

Chandelle Airpark is a fly-in community in Tullahoma, a small pilot neighborhood of just fifteen homes when it is fully built, right next to Tullahoma Regional Airport (KTHA, William Northern Field) and the Beechcraft Heritage Museum. What makes it what it is: residents have FAA-approved, deeded, through-the-fence access to the airport, so you taxi from your own hangar down the taxiway onto the grass strip (Runway 9/27) and on to the two paved runways, 4,200 feet and 5,500 feet, with pilot-controlled lighting and instrument approaches.
It is both hangar homes and buildable lots with utilities at the street, so you can buy a home with a hangar or build your own. There is an HOA, around $500 a year, that maintains the common areas including the taxiways.
The grid above shows what is for sale now, and below is my read on buying here, which is really a read on the aviation side.
Chandelle Airpark is the only place around Tullahoma where your home comes with a runway. You taxi from your hangar to KTHA's runways through a deeded, FAA-approved through-the-fence agreement, and that access, not the house, is the real asset.
So when I represent you here, the diligence is different from any other neighborhood. I confirm the through-the-fence rights are deeded and transfer cleanly with the property, I read exactly what the airpark HOA covers, currently about $500 a year for the common areas and the taxiways, and on a hangar home I look at the hangar itself as hard as the house, the door size and clearance, the slab, the electrical, and whether it fits your aircraft.
If you would rather build, there are lots here with utilities at the street, electric, water and sewer, and natural gas, backing to the taxiway, so you can put up a hangar home to suit. That is a build-or-buy decision I walk through with you, including representing you at the builder's table.
And because it is a fifteen-home community, it is genuinely scarce, there is often nothing for sale, then a rare one comes up, so the move is a saved search and a quick call. The Beechcraft Heritage Museum next door, with its vintage aircraft, is a nice bonus for the kind of buyer who ends up here.
Chandelle Airpark is a fly-in community of fifteen homes at build-out, adjoining Tullahoma Regional Airport (KTHA) and the Beechcraft Heritage Museum. The defining feature is the FAA-approved, deeded, through-the-fence access: from the east and west taxiways, residents reach the grass strip (Runway 9/27) and the two paved runways, 18/36 at 4,200 feet and 6/24 at 5,500 feet, with pilot-controlled lighting and IFR approaches.
The properties are hangar homes and buildable lots, the lots developed with electric, city water and sewer, and natural gas at the street. There is a homeowners association, currently around $500 a year, that maintains the common areas including the taxiways.
Because it is aviation-specific, I treat the runway access and the hangar as the heart of the deal, not an afterthought.
Chandelle Airpark puts flying at your doorstep and the town a short drive away.
The takeaway: Chandelle Airpark is for a pilot who wants to taxi from home to the runway, with Tullahoma's conveniences close and bigger cities within an hour. I will fold the real commute into the search.
This is an aviation purchase, so here is what I confirm before you commit. First, the access: I verify the through-the-fence rights are deeded, current, and transfer cleanly with the property, since that access is the reason to buy here.
Second, the hangar: on a hangar home I check the door size and clearance, the slab, the electrical and utilities, and that it actually fits your aircraft, plus the usual read on the house itself. Third, the HOA: I read the documents and confirm the dues, currently around $500 a year, and exactly what they cover, the common areas and the taxiways.
Fourth, if you are building: I confirm the lot's utilities and buildable area, and I represent you at the builder's table on a hangar home, with an honest all-in number. For financing, an airpark or hangar-home purchase can appraise and lend differently, so I line up a lender who understands it early.
Chandelle Airpark is at Tullahoma Regional Airport (KTHA), south of Tullahoma. For the everyday details, it is a short drive to Tullahoma's shopping and services and within about an hour of Chattanooga, Huntsville, or Murfreesboro.
On schools, because the airport sits toward the county edge, I confirm the county and the assigned schools for the specific property on the Tullahoma-area schools page rather than assume, since it can fall in Coffee or Franklin County depending on the exact location. For how this area compares, the neighborhood guide has the read.
Sometimes, and that is the honest answer for a fifteen-home fly-in community. Chandelle Airpark is small, so on most days nothing is listed, and when a hangar home or a buildable lot comes up it can move quickly with the aviation crowd.
The grid above shows anything active straight from the local MLS, refreshed daily. Because inventory is this tight, the real move is a saved search: tell me what you are after, a hangar home or a lot to build, and I will alert you the day one comes up, often before it spreads to the aviation listing sites.
Yes, that is the whole point. Residents have FAA-approved, deeded, through-the-fence access to Tullahoma Regional Airport (KTHA): you taxi from your hangar down the east or west taxiway onto the grass strip, Runway 9/27, and on to the two paved runways, 4,200 feet and 5,500 feet, with pilot-controlled lighting and instrument approaches.
When I represent you, I verify that the access is deeded and transfers cleanly with the property, because that access is the real value here, not just the house.
Yes, and it is doing real, specific work. The airpark HOA is currently around $500 a year, and it maintains the common areas including the taxiways, which is exactly what you want maintained in a fly-in community.
Before you make an offer I read the documents and confirm the current dues and what they cover, and I fold that into your real cost. For an airpark, an HOA that keeps the taxiways in good shape is a feature, not a burden.
Yes. Along with the existing hangar homes, Chandelle has buildable lots, some backing right to the taxiway, developed with electric, city water and sewer, and natural gas at the street, so you can build a hangar home to suit your aircraft.
On any lot I confirm the buildable area and the utilities, and I represent you at the builder's table with an honest all-in number, the lot plus the build. Tell me what you fly and what you want in a hangar, and I will pull the available lots.
