People with a little extra cash and a penchant for flying and fishing in Florida can find something on Craigslist that could make their day: an airport reduced for quick sale at just under $1.6 million.
It has a 2,700-foot grass runway on about 19 acres on Pine Island, west of Cape Coral and just south of the fishing village of Bokeelia.
Owner Wayne Reed is throwing in seven hangars and a zoning permit that allows another 13 hangars, a house and a barn to be built on the property.
"I don't want to spend my golden years cutting grass. I want to get back out on the water," said Reed, 62, who retired from the auto repair business in Kentucky and relocated to Cape Coral in 1999 before becoming a pilot and buying the airport in 2002.
He's had a few nibbles but no solid offers.
"I'm thinking someone who has some money, loves flying like I do and maybe wants to build a house from where they can fly their plane might be interested," Reed said.
