5463 WINDING WAY, Merritt Island, FL

A Rare 1.69-Acre Cul-de-Sac Opportunity on Merritt Island A truly exceptional opportunity to create something special on 1.69 acres in one of Merritt Island’s most desirable natural settings. Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully shaped homesite offers an unusual combination of space, privacy, mature tropical vegetation, water access, and a preserved green setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded by mature palms, lush foliage, and established greenery, the property feels private and secluded while still being connected to everything Merritt Island has to offer. The generous acreage creates room to think beyond the ordinary — design a distinctive custom home, incorporate expansive outdoor living, preserve natural buffers, and create the kind of tropical retreat that smaller homesites simply cannot provide. Opportunities of this size and character have become increasingly rare on Merritt Island. This is one of the few remaining parcels where the combination of acreage, cul-de-sac positioning, preserved green areas, water access, and an established residential setting can still come together in one property. The annual HOA is remarkably low at approximately $150 per year, making this an especially attractive setting for someone who wants privacy and beauty without the burden of a high-fee community. The location adds another layer to the appeal. Merritt Island sits in the heart of Florida’s Space Coast, close to Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, the Atlantic Ocean, boating, fishing, nature preserves, and miles of shoreline. The Space Coast offers approximately 72 miles of coastline, along with beaches, wildlife areas, and direct access to many of the region’s best-known coastal attractions. Travel is convenient as well, with access to Melbourne Orlando International Airport, while Orlando International Airport and Central Florida’s major attractions remain within comfortable driving distance. The broader Space Coast area also offers easy connections toward A1A, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Port Canaveral, and the surrounding barrier-island communities. This is not simply another vacant lot. It is the kind of property for a buyer who wants to dream bigger — someone looking for room, privacy, tropical beauty, proximity to the water, and a location that feels distinctly Florida. A rare mix of acreage, privacy, natural beauty, water access, and Space Coast lifestyle — waiting for the right owner to make it their own.
