Even before the pandemic, lines at TSA security, pricey airport parking, and throngs of travelers all combined to make air travel something to be endured rather than enjoyed.
Add to the mix the fear of spreading or catching a lethal virus, and commercial air travel becomes even less appealing.
However, private air travel is another story altogether. We surveyed homes across the country and spotted seven beauties where it’s easy to swoop in for a landing and never set foot in an airport again.
If you have your own helipad at your disposal, you can be whisked to the beach in a chopper or simply shuttle yourself off to a remote location for a weekend getaway. Only in dreams? Well, there’s no place like home for daydreaming.
So stand clear of the rotors, scroll on down, and scope out seven homes with private helipads on the market right now.
8004 Two Coves Dr, Austin, TX
Price: $4,988,888
Thanks to its sparkling white sheen, there’s no way a pilot can miss this rooftop helipad. Inside, the four-bedroom home is equally swanky, with 60 security cameras and Pietro Costantini custom furniture—which can be purchased separately.
The home spans 5,597 square feet and sits on nearly 4 acres next to a 30,000-acre bird sanctuary protected from development. Fitness fanatics will welcome the private gym/yoga center and outdoor infinity pool.
A two-bedroom apartment separate from the main house can house overnight guests.

The spread also offers a deck where you can watch friends or family members take off or light down.
