The exact date is not documented in public records. Based on analysis of historical satellite imagery, the airstrip appears well-maintained until the mid-2000s. By the early 2010s, it shows clear signs of disuse and overgrowth. The closure was likely a gradual process of abandonment occurring between approximately 2008 and 2012.
As a private aerodrome, the airport's closure was not due to a public event like an accident or military conversion. The most probable reason is economic and logistical. Private airstrips of this nature are expensive to maintain and are typically closed when the owner (the 'Fazenda' or farm) no longer requires or can no longer afford private air transport, or if the property changed ownership.
The site is completely abandoned and defunct. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (-21.868957, -56.771121) shows the faint outline of the former runway, but it is entirely overgrown with grass, shrubs, and natural vegetation. The land has reverted to being part of the surrounding pasture and farmland. There are no buildings or signs of activity on the former airstrip, and it is unusable for any aviation purposes.
The airport had no major public or historical significance. Its name, 'Fazenda Rodoserv III Airport', indicates it was a private airstrip built to serve a large farm or ranch ('Fazenda'). Its sole purpose was to support the agricultural and business operations of this private entity. Operations would have consisted of general aviation flights for transporting owners, staff, and visitors, and potentially agricultural aviation (such as crop dusting) for managing the large, remote property in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
There are no known official plans, discussions, or prospects for reopening Fazenda Rodoserv III Airport. As a private facility, any initiative to reopen would have to come from the current landowner. This would require significant private investment to clear the land, restore the runway surface, and meet the regulatory and safety requirements of Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC). Given the state of abandonment and the high costs involved, the likelihood of it ever being reopened is extremely low.
