It was pulled off the property's roof at Black Spring Farm near Castle Bytham by a Land-Rover.
The plane was then cut into manageable pieces by the tenant and a number of assistants using chainsaws.
One source told the Echo: “It’s not exactly a big plane, it’s not a jumbo jet.”
Air accident investigators have begun their work at the scene.
The plane came down near the village of Castle Bytham at just before 2.10pm on Wednesday, November 19.
The light aircraft came down short of a landing field and collided with the bungalow.
The 73-year-old pilot of the aircraft, from Thurnby in Leicestershire, was airlifted to the Queen's Medical Center in Nottingham.
Released from the plane by firefighters from the Lincolnshire fire and Rescue Service, he escaped with leg and back injuries.
His condition is said to be stable and police say his condition is not thought to be life-threatening.
And a 52-year-old tanker driver who was making a delivery was treated for shock at Lincoln County Hospital and later allowed home.
The 61-year-old occupant of the bungalow was with the tanker driver, but was not injured.
The bungalow has been made structurally safe and no-one else was injured.
Investigators from the Civil Aviation Authority's Air Accident Investigation Branch are at the scene.
An AAIB spokesman said: “We are aware of the incident and are making inquiries.”
It is understood that the aircraft narrowly missed high-voltage power cables when it landed on the roof of the bungalow.
Sources have also told the Echo that the fire service required help from a local pilot who showed firefighters how to turn off the plane’s fuel supply.
Lincolnshire Police are appealing for anyone who saw the crash to call 101 quoting incident number 244 of November 19.
