Does anyone know where John Travolta's new house is? The one next to an airport, where he can park his 707 and gulfstream in his driveway. I forget the name of the place, but its somewhere in Florida. I wonder if it would be visible?

I believe it's in Ocala, FL., but is in a lo-res area. You could look around Ocala Municiple, but I doubt you'd see it...

Jumbolair (the name of the development) is located in Anthony, Fl. just north of Ocala. Travolta moved there after being sued by his former Daytona fly-in neighbors for excessive noise. Attachment is of the airfield who's owner, Terri Jones-Thayer (ex-wife of Nautilas founder Arthur Jones) is building an exclusive fly-in community.
More info here.
Link to Jumbolair's website.

Thanks for the info and the link. It really does appear to be out in the middle of nowhere - I guess that noisy, smoky 707 won't be bothering anyone gut but the crocs now.

Well, that's just freakin' amazing! I got the last Architectural Digest and was enamored with the Travolta's house. Thinking I was Mr. SmartGuy, I looked up Ocala figuring it would be easy to spot a house next to a runway -- Wrong! Thanks for the photo and ETA. Now I know. I want one of those!

Overlay with my guess where the house is. Perhaps John could edit it for us.
