A Private Fly-In Community · Blue Ridge Mountains
Welcome to Heaven’s Landing, the most wonderful fly-in community in the world — nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Northeast Georgia, three miles northwest of the City of Clayton.
The Community
Heaven’s Landing is a 639-acre gated community surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest but uniquely located only minutes from downtown convenience. The aviation centerpiece of Heaven’s Landing is a 5,200-foot paved concrete runway with an FAA certified GPS approach and pilot-controlled lighting.
The runway is designed to accommodate almost any private aircraft but is exclusively used by community members and guests only. Three hundred estate-sized lots with “heavenly views” encircle the landing strip — and every property owner holds an undivided interest in the runway itself, so your access can never be tolled, leased away, or taken from you.
Clayton, Georgia
A short four-mile drive from Heaven’s Landing to downtown Clayton, Georgia provides for a multitude of area amenities in a hometown atmosphere that includes some of the top restaurants in the United States.
Rabun County was recently named the “Farm to Table Capital of Georgia”. Great food is plentiful and shopping is abundant, yet big city traffic is never an issue.
The Climate
The climate at Heaven’s Landing features a perfect balance of all four seasons. Rabun County enjoys mild Spring-like temperatures right through October. Fall colors are breathtaking, and Winter at Heaven’s Landing is most always mild — snowfall is rare, with just two to five inches on average annually. And before you know it, Spring comes back around, featuring beautiful dogwood blossoms that compliment a rolling mountain landscape of emerald green.
Homes & Hangars
Taxiway lots are available at Heaven’s Landing, so you can construct your home and hangar together if preferred. However, many of our property owners opt for one of our spectacular mountain vistas as a desirable alternative.
To accommodate housing the aircraft belonging to our “non-taxiway” residents, we have an exquisitely designed hangar facility located adjacent to the runway. All hangars feature standing seam roofing, bathrooms, and windows to aesthetically cause them to look nothing like hangars at all.
Heaven’s Landing is also a one-stop fly-in community. With some of the lowest priced 100LL and Jet A fuel in the country, there is rarely a need for an intermittent stop on the route to your destination.

The Beachfront Outpost
In and of itself, Heaven’s Landing is an astonishing place to live. With amazing year-round weather, unbelievable scenery, great restaurants and shopping, healthcare, and schools, golfing, whitewater rafting, zip lining, hiking, boating, and biking, one might wonder, “What more could you ask for?” That, however, is where Heaven’s Landing really gets interesting.
Heaven’s Landing has revolutionized the residential fly-in concept by teaming up with the Grand Isle Resort located at Emerald Bay in the Bahamas. This partnership officially establishes a “Heaven’s Landing Beachfront Outpost” at a highly exclusive private oceanside resort. No other fly-in community in the world offers anything like this — and amazing destinations like this are the essence of why all of us love to fly.
Imagine owning your fly-in mountain dream home at Heaven’s Landing, while also having the ability to be in a five-star villa on the most beautiful beach in the world after just a short private flight. This is no longer just a dream — Heaven’s Landing and Grand Isle Resort have made it a reality, at no added cost to our owners.
So where would you like to be today? The mountains, or the beach? Heaven’s Landing and Grand Isle Resort now exclusively offer you the absolute best of both worlds.

At the heart of the community, the clubhouse rises three stories at the runway’s edge — with a dining room, veranda, fitness center, steam room and sauna, and seating for two hundred at the gatherings worth flying to.
