Property Description
A rare and irreplaceable offering on South Tropical Trail—one of the last true estate-caliber waterfront lots remaining on Merritt Island. Featuring 1.5 ACRES, over 400ft deep & 150ft of waterfrontage. Privately enclosed and masterfully engineered, this one-of-a-kind property is fully surrounded by a poured concrete wall reinforced with rebar, finished with smooth stucco on both sides, and capped with an architecturally designed top detail. The estate wall, varying between 8-10 feet in height, features an impressive double wrought-iron gated entry that is grandfathered in, a benefit rarely available today. Along the waterfront, a hand-laid, contoured seawall is topped with natural boulders and complemented by a secondary coquina break wall positioned 20 feet out to dissipate wave energy. A 4-foot-wide dock extends to a covered slip with a barrel-tile roof and electrically powered boat lift.
