~ Cochise County's First Private Aviation Community ~

Morning Star Airpark is a planned residential aviation community located in Southeastern Arizona's beautiful Cochise County, which arguably has the best year-round flying weather in the West. The proposed 448 acre conservation subdivision will have a 60' x 4400' hard surfaced runway and approximately 142 estate sized lots.

Phase 1 lot reservations are underway!

In the shadows of the beautiful Dragoon Mountains and the Cochise Stronghold National Monument, only 1.5 miles north of the retirement golfing community of Sunsites, Morning Star Airpark will be a high end southwestern territorial ranch style subdivision. Our plan includes a conservation subdivision with over 50% of the proposed 448 acres being reserved in conservation areas with hiking, biking, and potentially, equestrian trails throughout. Every home site will have direct access to the proposed 60 x 4400 foot runway via dual use taxi/road ways. Homes will be custom, owner built with territorial ranch and Santa Fe styling.

Pearce/Sunsites, AZ, is in the heart of historic Cochise County. Located 33 miles east of Benson and approximately 75 road miles, mostly interstate, southeast of Tucson International (57 nautical miles) and 26 miles south of Willcox. So whether you drive or fly, city amenities are at a convenient distance. Morning Star Airpark represents the perfect balance of rural solitude and urban convenience.

Cochise County is rich in southwestern history. Attractions like Tombstone, Bisbee, Kartchner Caverns, Cochise Stronghold, the Chiricahua National Monument, and our nearly perfect year round weather draw thousands to Cochise County each year.

With 340 days of sunshine per year, on average, and our rural but convenient setting, Morning Star promises to be one of the premier private aviation communities of the Southwest!
