Still trying to find the catch!

Declaration: I have nothing to do with this, it's not mine, I'm not about to move to Tucson, I have no idea who it currently belongs to. But what a wonderful idea!

Oh gods, this is a dream come true!
(Anyone got a lend of $99,666?)
Seriously though, there doesn't seem to be a catch, runway is fine for most light a/c (would an L39 fit I wonder?) and... !!!!, the constant drooling has shrted out m kybard $£^$
High density alt in summer of course, but challenge and discipline is what flying is all about!

Compared to the huge price increases houses have seen, agricultural land in England has never been so cheap. You could obtain a very nice "airfield" for a sum barely in to five figures, if you could persuade Farmer Palmer to sell.
SS/Mono might even post current land prices for various parts of England lifted straight out of Farmers Weekly if someone asked them!

I couldn't agree more.
Although not in the SE, not quite, anyway, £60k will buy you 12-15 acres and you can sit a £1000 mobile home on a corner of it.
All you'll need is a lawn mower.
Anything the Americans can do...
Except, maybe, the cactii

More info on the airport - http://www.airnav.com/airport/6AZ8
Just to dampen your drooling, airparks are not hard to find in the US, and altho' some are outwith most of our price ranges, such as Leeward Air Ranch (http://leewardairranch.com/) I have definitely seen some more affordable ones. A 2650' runway at 4000' elevation is going to severly restrict the visitor numbers, especially in the summer time.
Its nice to speculate tho'...
