~ 16+ BOTANICAL ACRES BETWEEN TWO RIVERS ~ A private landscape estate framed by the Indian River and Banana River! Majestic canopy oaks, elevated terrain, and carefully stewarded grounds create a private landscape of uncommon distinction. Set along Tropical Trail on Merritt Island, this gated, walled, and secluded estate encompasses approximately 505 feet of frontage on the Indian River and 490 feet on the Banana River. Four ponds adorned with water lilies and a private sandy beach further enrich a setting defined by privacy and direct access to two distinct waterfront environments. Completed in 2020 and purposefully positioned at approximately 11 feet above sea level, the 10,614-square-foot main residence is complemented by a detached 1,135-square-foot guest house connected by a covered breezeway, a 4,582-square-foot nine-car garage with solid mahogany doors, and a historic circa-1890 farmhouse. Together, the improvements are thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, creating a property that feels both substantial and deeply connected to its surroundings. The residence showcases carefully selected materials and finishes from around the world, including large-format limestone flooring throughout the main level, hardwood floors and a handcrafted staircase, custom Murano chandeliers, imported Moroccan zellige tile, Amazônia tile sourced from Mallorca, a substantial coral stone fireplace, and a custom mahogany entertainment bar. Smart-home technology, integrated audio and lighting systems, Andersen impact-rated windows and doors, and a whole-home generator reflect the same attention to detail found throughout the estate. Designed as the heart of the home, the kitchen balances professional-grade performance with everyday functionality. Features include Sub-Zero refrigeration, a BlueStar French oven and 60-inch Platinum Series gas range, a Galley workstation sink, a built-in Miele espresso system, and an integrated workspace. Equally suited to intimate family meals and large gatherings, the space supports the home's seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Expansive sliding glass doors and retractable screens dissolve the boundary between the kitchen, family room, and covered outdoor living area, creating a unified space overlooking the ponds, the Indian River, and surrounding wildlife. Anchored by a whitewashed brick fireplace, the outdoor living area serves as a favored gathering place during Florida's cooler months. Defined by two very different waterfront experiences, the estate enjoys both the shallow, wildlife-rich waters of the Banana River, which also provides an impressive rocket launch vantage point, and deep-water boating access along the Indian River. Days may begin with kayaking, paddleboarding, or birdwatching along the Banana River and conclude with boating and uninterrupted sunset views along the Indian River shoreline. More than a home, this is a private waterfront estate shaped by enduring craftsmanship and thoughtful stewardship. It possesses a singular sense of place. ~ WELCOME HOME ~

South Merritt Island Real Estate

Dragon This photograph is now just a treasured memory of South Merritt Island's Dragon Point.
Sculpted in 1971 by Lewis VanDercar, and has since, crumbled into the water, where the Banana river meets Indian River. The giant fire-breathing cement and steel structure, was an anticipated sight, for anyone crossing Eau Gallie causeway. The annual Eye of the Dragon 5K run, over the causeway each year was named after and commemorates the statue. The narrow strip of land that was guarded by Annie the Dragon, is the southernmost tip of Merritt Island. Indian River Boat

The most scenic drive in Brevard county is the trip north on the Tropical Trail. It begins nearby at Mather's Bridge, where Banana River Drive ends at one side of the bridge and Tropical Trail begins. Mather's Bridge is itself, quite a scenic landmark. This old drawbridge connects South Merritt Island to Indian Harbor Beach, and is a classical looking, tranquil harbor. A picture which one may expect to see on a post card. Playful bottle nosed Dolphins can be spotted chasing the speckled trout, and other fish, almost daily. The bridge has walkways on both sides, so it's a great place to park and take a stroll. Local fishermen and out of town anglers can always be seen trying their luck in the deep waters of the drawbridge's channel. The deep waters make it an ideal place to land some real lunkers.

Mid summer is a great time to travel along the narrow of Tropical Trail. On one side of the trail, lay a long column of aged wooden docks, and across the street is a mixed variety of modest river homes, and gorgeous houses with clay shingled rooftops, and vine laden gazebos. Palm trees, and Live Oaks, draped with Spanish moss give the trail, and inhabitants, plenty of shade. The best feature about these homes is they also have water frontage in the back of the property, on the Banana river. The land stays narrow for several miles before it begins to widen just a mile or so, past the Pineda causeway, allowing for many of these, dual dock properties.
There is an abundance of mangoes growing all along the trail, and many residents, own orchards, and peddle the fruit beside the road. Driving on the trail in the July, can be a tasty surprise as you happen upon every variety of mango grown. My favorite is the Champagne Mango which although very stringy, is the sweetest of all the many varieties.

There is another South Merritt Island, for all intensive purposes. It emerges out of the Banana River Lagoon between the Pineda and Merritt Island causeways. New Found Harbor Drive divides this well developed peninsula, and the many water front properties enjoy a leisurely life of remoteness, tucked away in between the waters.

Both South Merritt Islands are like finding buried treasures. when you are searching to purchase a new home in the Space Coast. In today's active real estate market, a home here could be a valuable asset from the moment you leave settlement, and for many years in the future.
