About This Home
A truly exceptional offering along the legendary South Tropical Trail, this riverfront estate site commands attention from the moment you arrive. With a remarkable 180 feet of prime Intracoastal frontage and some of the deepest water anywhere along the Space Coast, this is a setting reserved for those who expect nothing less than extraordinary. An oversized private dock accommodates even the most impressive yachts with ease, making this a true waterfront sanctuary. Spanning nearly a full acre and zoned for estate use, this double-wide homesite offers endless possibilities. Whether you choose to reimagine the existing residence or design and build a custom showpiece, the setting provides the perfect canvas. Towering, majestic oak trees frame the property, adding character, shade, and a timeless sense of place. Positioned to capture breathtaking sunset views across the Indian River each evening, the lifestyle here is as remarkable as the location itself. Tucked within an exclusive and sought-after corridor, yet just one hour from Orlando, this property delivers both privacy and convenience. A rare opportunity to create or transform a legacy waterfront estate in one of the Space Coast's most prestigious settings.
