Landing Helicopters in Your Backyard

By
Real Estate Agent 0784753

Its the tristate area.  Traffic is bad.  I have missed meetings by 3 hours getting stuck in traffic on I-95 or the Merritt Parkway.  So what are the options? 

a) sit in traffic and miss the meeting or event

b) wait for the next train - assuming your destination is accessible by train

c) charter a helicopter and have them grab you in your backyard

While the last option may be seem extravagant to some, there's a time and a place, like a Friday afternoon. Nonetheless, its nice to have the option.  Having learned that there have been several illegal landings of helicopters in New Canaan, which has a local ordinance against landing on your property, its an option that would be clearly valued.  In fact, in most of Fairfield County it is not possilbe to land on your property.  

Enter 262 Lukes Wood Rd, New Canaan, CT 06840: 

Spectacular Private Sanctuary! One of Fairfield County's most beautiful estates offering over 8 acres, complete privacy and beautiful 5 bedroom home designed for entertaining and elegant living. In addition, relax and live a luxury resort life each day with a serene bamboo pool house equipped with full bath, full bar and kitchenette overlooking the oversized pool. This home is one of a kind with the exclusive right to land a helicopter in your own backyard and beat the traffic to the Hamptons, Vineyard, Nantucket or Manhattan. This is a rare feature for a home in Fairfield County and not otherwise allowed in New Canaan. For more info visit www.nicolesteel.com and 262lukeswoodrd.com262 Lukes Wood Aerial

Getting picked up in your own backyard would have been especially helpful this week and next with the metro north troubles on the new haven line!

Had to rent a helicopter overseas to jump over traffic once, pricey, but was worth it.
