Sure, you’ve got a movie theater, a private spa, an infinity pool, and a climate-controlled wine cellar stocked with rare vintages, but maybe you still need a place to park your helicopter. Private helipads make it easy and convenient to get to private island estates, rustic ski chalets, and remote country homes, they also make getting from the airport to your home a luxurious breeze—no hassle with traffic!
Robb Report has rounded up seven helipad-equipped homes around the world, from a castle-like estate in Malibu to a floating modernist home above the Hudson River to a private island estate bordering the Canadian wilderness.
And once you have a home with a helipad secured, we have you covered with a selection of the best-in-class helicopters and other aircraft.

Hyde Park, New York
Image Credit: Drone Hub for Douglas Elliman Just two hours from Manhattan, the ultra-modern Ledgerock estate is perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the Hudson River. Listed for $25 million, the eight-bedroom Hudson Valley spread has multiple levels of terraces, walls of windows, and both indoor and outdoor pools.
Set at the river’s edge, the entire mansion seems like it’s floating atop the water. There are exquisite materials throughout the house: exotic marbles, 5,000 square feet of travertine, and 40,000 square feet of fossilized French limestone. And, of course, there’s a private helipad for when you don’t want to battle traffic to and from the city.
