John Travolta’s house boasts a fully functional airport with two runways specifically designed for his private planes.

John Travolta is a certified private pilot who owns five aircraft, so it’s only fitting that the 60-year-old actor’s Florida hoмe has two runways that lead directly to his front door.

“We designed the house for the jets and to have at our access the world at a moment’s notice, and we succeeded at that,” a Ƅearded Travolta said during an interview Thursday on Australia’s “Today.” “For the last 11 years, we’ve been able to globe-trot for Qantas and movies … I’ve been able to operate out of this house for business and personal reasons.

Travolta has been a Qantas “ambassador-at-large” since 2002 and keeps his personal Qantas Boeing 707 in the yard of his Florida home, just a 10-minute flight from Orlando.

“I can’t call it Modern—it’s a Midcentury-style home,” actor John Travolta says of the Florida house he shares with his wife, actress Kelly Preston. “John had a vision of how he wanted everything to be,” says designer Sherri Jame of Michael James Design Team in Southern California. “We just implemented his ideas.”

The Front Drive Of The Travolta House.

Travolta’s vintage Thunderbird, designed by architect Dana Smith, is in the residence’s front drive. Construction of the house lasted two years, but “the plan took, on and off, aƄout six years,” Travolta says. “We moved into the guest quarters for a while to oversee it.”

Games Table In The Great Room

“It was always John’s dream to have planes in his front yard—to practically be able to pull up to the house—so that when you wanted to go to dinner, all you’d have to do was step out the door, get on the plane and whisk off,” Kelly Preston says of her aviation-Mad husƄand, John Travolta.

The Great Room

Curved window walls define the great room, which looks onto the tarmac. “Michael Eisner was our first dinner guest,” says Travolta, a seasoned pilot and owner of two jets. “He looked at our planes and said, “‘My God, I get it. Within an hour, we can be on our way to Paris.’” Above the mantelpiece is a 1967 work by Alexander Calder.

The Entrance Hall

“This is an overƄuilt home,” Travolta says. “The walls are thicker than they need to be, and there’s more metal in it than there needs to be.” The entrance hall includes a floor motif that Travolta designed himself.

“You can Ƅe the ultimate eccentric, like I am, and bring in a 707,” he says. “But you can also bring in any corporate jet or airliner.” A Gulfstream II jet is parked in one of two plane pavilions. Although the property had a 7,500-foot runway, Travolta extended the taxiway to the house.

Travolta’s property, located in the JumƄolair Aviation Estates in Ocala, Florida, is on Greystone Airport. The actor was reportedly the first resident of the 550-acre community that caters to people who want fly-in, fly-out access.

The aviation community allows homeowners to land their planes, including Travolta’s Boeing 707 airliner, and taxi them to their homes.
