Airport Used By JFK Jr. Hits Market For $7.9 Million

EAST MORICHES, NY — An airport once used by John F. Kennedy Jr. on his visits to the Hamptons is on the market for just under $8 million, according to Douglas Elliman.

Lufker Airport — Federal Aviation Administration location identifier 49N, formerly O00 — a privately owned, 30-acre public use airport located at 115 Montauk Highway in East Moriches, was formerly a farm used for growing cabbages and melons up until the 1940s, Douglas Elliman said.

The sale price is listed at $7,999,999, Douglas Elliman said.

The family-owned airstrip has been most recently used by banner towing planes and for flight instruction, according to Douglas Elliman.

The airstrip was used by John F. Kennedy, Jr., who flew his own plane there when visiting the Hamptons; actor Cliff Robertson, who was a guest in the 1970s; and former New York State Governor George Pataki, who used the strip when traveling out east by state helicopter, Douglas Elliman said.

The land is represented by Laura Riportella of Douglas Elliman.

The parcel is an "absolutely beautiful 30 acres of possibilities," the listing said. "This family owned property/private airport is the most amazing one-of-a-kind properties left on the East End. Come see and bring your dream to reality. Gateway to the Hamptons — countless ideas."
