Just east of Melbourne, Merritt Island is an oasis of natural beauty and a laid-back pace of life. Your estate is located close to the SR404 for easy access to Melbourne, beaches, nature preserves, and Florida’s Space Coast. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a front-row seat to see crewless (and soon-to-be manned) rockets lift into space from the Rocket Launch View Point, just 18 miles from your front door. On the way, surf Cocoa Beach’s legendary waves. Kayak the Indian River, enjoy the white sand beaches or golf your heart out. For those seeking a little solitude, the 140,00 acre Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge is the place to spot manatees or fifty bird species, fish, or hike the quiet expanse. Spend a day shopping in Cocoa Village and catch an outdoor show at Cocoa’s Riverfront Park or schedule a weekend cruise out of Port Canaveral— Florida's fastest growing cruise port. Further afield, family-friendly Orlando is an hour away, while Daytona Beach is just 80 miles up the coast.
