Rocket Launches and Twin Rivers: Tour Florida’s Most Private 16-Acre Waterfront Oasis

A sprawling 16-acre oasis with not one, but two waterfront experiences has hit the market in Merritt Island, FL, for $16 million.Perfectly framed by two rivers and four ponds along Tropical Trail, the property—which is about 50 miles east of Orlando in Florida’s Space Coast region—is an idyllic private getaway.The home was completed in 2020 and, according to the listing—held by Jenny Wemert and Danielle O’Quinn of Wemert Group Realty—was intentionally “positioned approximately 11 feet above sea level.”The secluded location offers 505 feet of frontage on the Indian River, which is defined by “uninterrupted sunset views” along the shoreline. An additional 490 feet of frontage sits along the Banana River—a shallow, wildlife-rich water where residents can enjoy activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, or bird watching.With water lily-adorned ponds and access to dazzling sandy beaches, this gorgeous home is truly a sight to behold. And thanks to the combination of lush botanical grounds and deep-water boating access, there’s never a dull day to be had.The property even provides direct views of SpaceX rocket launches.Loading...A sprawling 16-acre oasis with not one, but two waterfron...
