Fly, Boat, and Relax: 1629 Eagle Neck Drive NE, Townsend, GA — A Pilot’s Coastal Paradise

If you’ve ever dreamed of living where you can taxi from your driveway to the runway — and launch your boat from your backyard — welcome to 1629 Eagle Neck Drive NE in Townsend, GA.

Tucked inside the Eagle Neck Airpark community, one of Georgia’s most exclusive coastal fly-in neighborhoods, this home perfectly blends aviation freedom with the laid-back beauty of life on the marsh.

Where Flying Meets the Coastal Life

Eagle Neck (1GA0) is a true gem for aviators along Georgia’s coast — a private, gated airpark community centered around a 3,535-foot paved runway (41’ wide) with on-site self-serve 100LL fuel, a community boat dock, and deep-water access to the Atlantic.

Pilots can lift off and be over Savannah, St. Simons, or Jacksonville in under an hour, while non-flying days bring time on the water, swimming in the community pool, or friendly matches on the tennis and pickleball courts. Few airparks offer this level of convenience, scenery, and access in one location.

The Home: Designed for Comfort, Function, and Sunset Views

Built in 2004, this custom four-sided brick home offers 2,796 sq ft of open, light-filled living space on just over an acre of private land.

Step through the front door into a two-story foyer and a bright great room framed by marsh-front windows that seem to glow at sunset. The open-concept floor plan connects the living room, kitchen, and breakfast area — ideal for entertaining guests after a day of flying or boating.

The kitchen features solid-surface counters, a center island, pantry, and stainless-steel appliances. A breakfast bar ties the space together, offering casual seating with a view of the marsh.

Upstairs, a large bonus/game room gives flexibility — perfect for a media room, guest suite, or pilot lounge.

A Thoughtful Split Plan for Privacy

The primary suite sits apart from the other bedrooms for privacy and quiet. Vaulted ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite bath with double vanities make it a peaceful retreat.

Two additional bedrooms on the opposite side of the home share a full bath and enjoy plenty of natural light — ideal for family, guests, or even a home office overlooking the water.

Room for Every Toy: The Oversized Garage

Pilots and hobbyists will appreciate the oversized three-car garage with side and rear entrances. Whether you’re storing vehicles, a golf cart, or aviation gear, there’s space to spare — and quick access to your hangar or the runway just a short taxi away.

Outdoor Living Worth Every Sunset

The back patio and yard are positioned perfectly for panoramic marsh views and some of the prettiest sunsets on Georgia’s coast. The deep-water lot allows for a private dock if you choose, or you can use the community dock for quick boating access.

This is one of the rare homes where you can fly, boat, and relax — all from the same address.

Why This Property Matters

Homes at Eagle Neck rarely hit the open market — especially deep-water lots with western sunset exposure. The combination of aviation, boating, and marsh views makes this one of the most versatile lifestyle properties in coastal Georgia.

For a pilot, the value goes beyond square footage. It’s about freedom — the ability to step out of your home, roll open the hangar door, and be airborne in minutes. For anyone who loves the water, it’s about effortless access to the intracoastal and nearby islands.
