About this home
Set high above the water on approximately 4.5 buildable acres (8.6 - total acres), 4747 S. Tropical Trail is a rare estate where privacy, scale, and an extraordinary river-to-river setting come together. Stretching from the peaceful shores of Honeymoon Lake to the Banana River, the property feels remarkably secluded, with expansive grounds and two distinct waterfronts creating a setting increasingly difficult to replicate along South Tropical Trail.
Custom built in 2015, the 7,571 SF residence was designed with the scale and quality of a true estate. Concrete block construction, impact windows and doors throughout, and a concrete tile roof provide a substantial foundation, while a grand porte cochere leads to an impressive five-car garage. Inside, a dramatic groin-vaulted entry opens to gracious living spaces finished with marble and cherry flooring, Venetian plaster, wrought-iron detailing, and custom architectural elements throughout.
The chef's kitchen is complemented by Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, a hand-hammered copper sink, generous pantry space, and a full scullery/butler's kitchen with its own gas range and exterior access. The first-floor primary suite offers a private retreat with a spacious sitting room and beautifully appointed bath, while a separate guest suite with its own living area provides exceptional accommodations for family and visitors. Outside, the true scale of the property reveals itself.
Covered living areas open to an expansive travertine pool deck with turf inlays, where an infinity-edge pool and spa overlook the water. Beyond are sprawling grounds, a basketball court, and a private riverfront dock with the ability to add a boat lift and access to the Intracoastal waterways. Remarkable natural elevation further distinguishes the property.
With approximately 3.5 acres, two waterfronts, exceptional privacy, and a level of scale rarely found along South Tropical Trail, this is one of Merritt Island's most distinctive private estates. Ideally located approximately 15 minutes from Cape Canaveral, 20 minutes from Melbourne Orlando International Airport, and one hour from Orlando International Airport in one of the fastest-growing areas on Florida's East Coast.

Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
4 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Median of these 4 sales: $2,365,000 ($357/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Stronger local evidence — 4 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $5,900,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
- The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off a per-sq-ft average of the neighborhood.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
- The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- 1416 active listings competing, 508 under contract
For reference, this home is listed at $5,900,000 ($779/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 4747 S Tropical Trail and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 4747 S Tropical Trail was built in 2015 and has 7,571 sq ft of living area, 6 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 4747 S Tropical Trail in?
4747 S Tropical Trail is in Merritt Island, Brevard County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 4747 S Tropical Trail have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 4747 S Tropical Trail differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $61,950 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 4747 S Tropical Trail in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
