Looking for a luxury home with private runway access near Parker, Colorado? 50 Skyhawk Way is a newly constructed, 4,917-square-foot estate set on 10 acres within the exclusive, gated Rocky Mountain Airpark Estates in Elbert County, offering horse property zoning, sweeping plains views, and the rare lifestyle of an aviation-oriented residential community. Listed at $2,295,000, this property is now available through The Bernardi Group.

An Estate Built for Space, Privacy, and Colorado Living

Some properties are defined by their neighborhood. Others are defined by an entirely different way of life. 50 Skyhawk Way falls firmly into the second category, set within Rocky Mountain Airpark Estates, a gated enclave in Elbert County built around exactly what its name suggests: direct access for residents who fly.

Built in 2021, this one-story, contemporary ranch-style home spans 4,917 total square feet across a main level and a walk-out basement, situated on a full 10.01-acre parcel. For buyers seeking scale, privacy, and a genuine sense of open space, without giving up modern design or finishes, this listing offers a compelling combination that's difficult to find inside more traditional subdivisions.

Inside the Home

The main level is designed around an open, light-filled floor plan with soaring ceilings and a clear emphasis on comfortable, connected living spaces:

• Great room featuring a gas fireplace and wood flooring, anchoring the home's main living area
• Eat-in kitchen with a kitchen island, pantry, and easy flow into the dining and great room spaces
• Primary suite on the main level, featuring a five-piece luxury primary bath and a walk-in closet
• Four total bathrooms, supporting a five-bedroom layout across the main level and basement
• Wet bar, ideal for entertaining in the great room or adjacent living spaces
• Cathedral and vaulted ceilings throughout the main living areas, with 9-foot-plus ceiling heights
• Wood floors throughout key living spaces, paired with carpet in secondary bedrooms

The finished, walk-out basement adds substantial additional living space, including a fifth bedroom and a large recreation room, giving the home flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or dedicated hobby and entertaining space.

Built for Colorado's Outdoor and Equestrian Lifestyle

This property isn't just spacious, it's purpose-built for a specific kind of buyer. Zoning allows horse property use, with the lot appropriate for four or more horses, and the home's southern exposure and expansive plains views reflect a design that embraces its wide-open setting rather than working against it.

Outdoor features include a patio for enjoying the property's views, while the home's private, gravel road access reinforces the sense of seclusion that defines Rocky Mountain Airpark Estates as a whole.

What Makes an Airpark Community Different

For buyers unfamiliar with residential airpark communities, Rocky Mountain Airpark Estates offers a lifestyle built around direct, private access for aviation enthusiasts, a rare category within the broader Colorado luxury market. Combined with the community's gated privacy and generous lot sizes, this creates a distinct buyer profile: those seeking not just a large home, but an entire lifestyle organized around space, seclusion, and aviation access.

Design Details Worth Noting

Beyond the headline features, this home includes a number of thoughtful design and construction details that reflect its 2021 build year and contemporary design approach. Southern exposure orientation takes advantage of natural light throughout the day, while the combination of stone and wood siding construction gives the exterior a look that fits naturally into its rural, open setting. Inside, the main floor bath, main level bedroom option, and stall shower reflect a layout that also accommodates accessibility considerations, a detail worth noting for multigenerational households or buyers planning for long-term flexibility.

The kitchen is outfitted with a full suite of included appliances, from a gas range and dishwasher to a refrigerator, bar refrigerator, and water softener system, reflecting a move-in ready condition that spares buyers from needing to budget for major appliance purchases after closing.

Understanding the Airpark Lifestyle

Residential airpark communities remain a niche but dedicated segment of the real estate market, appealing specifically to buyers who fly recreationally or for business and want their home directly connected to that part of their life. Unlike a standard rural property, an airpark community like Rocky Mountain Airpark Estates is organized around shared infrastructure and covenants specific to aviation use, in addition to the more familiar HOA considerations found in any covenant-controlled community. Buyers new to this type of community should take time to understand exactly how shared runway access, if applicable to a specific property, and related covenants work before finalizing a purchase.

At the same time, this specialized setting doesn't come at the expense of everyday livability. The property's acreage, privacy, and proximity to Parker's broader amenities mean it functions well as a full-time residence, not simply a specialty property for aviation use alone.

Practical Considerations for Buyers

Because this property relies on well water and a septic system, and sits on a privately maintained gravel road, buyers should plan to consult the appropriate licensed professionals, such as a well and septic inspector, to evaluate these systems as part of due diligence. Buyers should also independently verify HOA covenants, airpark-specific rules, and any easements or access agreements tied to the property's aviation-oriented setting, since these details are specific to this community and not typical of a standard subdivision.

As with any real estate purchase, buyers should consult a qualified attorney, tax professional, or financial advisor regarding any legal, tax, or financing questions specific to their situation. This listing information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed, consistent with standard MLS practice, and all details should be independently verified.
