8438 Santos Dumont Way

About this home

Built by the original owners of the airpark, this one-of-a-kind Brownsville property offers a rare opportunity to experience aviation living, multigenerational versatility, and peaceful foothill acreage in one remarkable setting. Located within a private airpark community, you can fly in, secure your aircraft in the property’s hangar, and be home within moments—an extraordinary lifestyle for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and visiting family and friends. Set on 6.5 acres, the spacious three-bedroom, three-bath home offers approximately 2,700 square feet, along with two lofts that provide flexible bonus space for work, play, hobbies, or guests. A pellet stove creates a warm and inviting atmosphere for cozy nights in the living room, while the primary bathroom features a large soaking tub for a relaxing retreat. Attached garages, the aircraft hangar, and generous storage throughout provide exceptional space for vehicles, recreational equipment, projects, and everyday living. Step outside onto the expansive, newly rebuilt back deck overlooking the property and year-round pond—a beautiful setting for morning coffee, celebrations, or simply enjoying the quiet surroundings with those you love. A screened-in patio, currently enjoyed as an outdoor dining room, offers another inviting space to gather and take in the natural setting. The home’s flexible interior spaces, broad outdoor areas, and variety of amenities make it especially well suited for multigenerational living, with room for each generation to connect, explore, or enjoy its own space. Approximately $90,000 in recent repairs and improvements includes a brand-new roof, a new 200-amp main electrical panel, and three sub panels. Additional work includes repairs to previously water-stained areas of the home and garage, siding work, and the rebuilding of the back deck and railings. Rich in history and full of possibility, 8438 Santos Dumont Way is more than a home—it’s an opportunity to become part of the story of Brownsville’s private airpark while enjoying the mountain setting, nearby lakes, acreage, privacy, and a truly uncommon way of life.
