Overview

Description

Every now and then, a truly special property comes along.. This is definitely one of them! Tucked near the end of a quiet dead-end street, this island style retreat is surrounded by nature, with a 100-acre preserve immediately to the south and additional protected lands, in both directions along the ocean, where you enjoy your own private path to the edge of the Atlantic. This private address also features direct access to the Indian River from a community dock with your own private boat slip & lift, creating the ideal setting for an active coastal lifestyle. Inside, an open, airy floor plan and lush tropical landscaping outside combine to create a relaxed island feel to enjoy day after day. Expanded with a second-floor primary suite in 1985 and updated again in 2005, it also features a new roof and A/C in 2023. Located just ½ mile from Publix, between two golf courses and only minutes from downtown Melbourne Beach this is the perfect blend of privacy, nature, boating and convenience!
