About this home

Welcome to Buckingham Airpark, one of Southwest Florida’s premier fly-in communities, where aviation convenience meets the best of Florida lifestyle. This beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom pool home sits on a generous 1.05-acre lot with direct access to the private runway, offering a rare opportunity for pilots and enthusiasts to live where they fly. At the heart of the property is a brand-new 50’ x 40’ hangar, providing ample space for aircraft, RVs, boats, or even a workshop, all within steps of your front door. Inside, the home features a thoughtfully designed split floor plan, with the great room boasting new flooring and abundant natural light. The kitchen and living areas flow naturally toward the backyard, where the open-air pool and patio create the perfect setting for year-round enjoyment. With plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing under Florida’s endless sunshine, this home makes the most of its setting. A durable metal roof ensures peace of mind for years to come, and the property is located outside of a flood zone, helping keep insurance costs lower. The Buckingham community is known for its safe, family-friendly atmosphere and spacious lots, giving children room to run and play while providing peace and privacy for adults. With AG-2 zoning and a voluntary HOA, the property blends country charm with modern convenience. Residents enjoy a relaxed lifestyle surrounded by open skies, quiet streets, and the unique thrill of living in an aviation neighborhood. Beyond the airpark, you’re just minutes from Interstate 75, making it easy to reach Fort Myers, Naples, or Sarasota. Downtown Fort Myers, with its vibrant restaurants, shops, and historic river district, is under 20 minutes away. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to nature preserves, boat ramps, and Florida’s world-famous Gulf beaches. With its warm climate and year-round sunshine, every day can be spent poolside, outdoors, or enjoying evening strolls in this quiet community. This home truly offers something for everyone — whether you’re a pilot seeking direct runway access, a family looking for a safe and spacious environment, or anyone wanting the tranquility of country living without sacrificing proximity to the city. With its generous acreage, modern updates, new hangar, and the unmatched lifestyle of Buckingham Airpark, 6840 Cadet Avenue is more than a home — it’s a way of life.
