Auction Note
Pifer's Auction & Realty is excited to present this exceptionally well maintained and highly accommodating 70' x 100' aviation hangar located at the Carrington Municipal Airport. This property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey, year-round aviation facility in a central North Dakota location. The hangar is fully spray-foam insulated and equipped with a 66' wide by 24' high bi-fold aircraft door, a secondary 20' wide by 16' high overhead garage door for ground vehicle access, and integrated office and living quarters. These features support efficient operations, large-aircraft accommodation, and on-site staffing capabilities that are increasingly difficult to find in rural aviation markets.
Formerly the home of Larry's Aerial Spray Service, this location presents an incredible opportunity for aerial applicators looking to expand their footprint into what is currently an underserved market. In addition, Carrington’s location provides broad regional access for a wide range of operations without the congestion or operating costs associated with larger airports. This facility is well suited for operators seeking a centrally located base that allows them to serve multiple North Dakota markets from a single, efficient footprint. The combination of hangar size, insulation quality, and operational amenities positions this property as a strong option for both commercial and private aviation users.
