It's a fly in community. He didn't just decide to build a runway in his backyard, he bought a house (or built a house) that was next to a runway. They are private runways, and they have their own radio frequency. I'm pretty sure you can only land there if you're a resident too. Those types of communities are getting relatively popular nowadays.

EDIT: I don't particularly like the design of his house, but we have different tastes. I wouldn't turn it down though.

EDIT^2: I've actually flown by that community. It's definitely got a nice little runway.
