Present Homes There are 74 owner-built homes in Eagle Roost with 5 in process as of (7-1-2000). Most homes have hangars, either attached or free standing. Each home is situated on no less than five gross acres. Consequently there are plenty of open spaces between each home. There are homes that would cost an easy million dollars to replace. Then again there are homes that are desirable and functional that would be in the moderate price range.The variance of value between homes is not a concern, since each owner is on his ranch with plenty wide open spaces and each is unique to itself. No one is trying to outdo the other. Eagle Roost pilots concern themselves mainly with the fun of sharing their flying with their neighbors & pilots.
