As of September 2026, Piney Woods in Merritt Island, FL has 1 home for sale. Piney Woods is a community in Merritt Island, Brevard County, FL. Across Merritt Island as a whole, 267 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $439,900, 49 median days on market, with 71 homes for sale today. At that median and Brevard County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.6 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,860 ($6,240 with the full homestead exemption).
Piney Woods is showing exactly one active listing - a 336-square-foot structure built in 1966. That footprint sits well below typical residential size, which suggests either a small cottage, a teardown candidate, or a non-standard use. The homestead exemption on file tells us the owner occupied it at some point, but context is limited.
With only one MLS entry and no pattern of recent sales or inventory, this reads more as an individual property opportunity than a functioning subdivision. If you're looking at the listing, focus entirely on the land, zoning, and what you can do with the parcel - the existing structure is unlikely to define value in any meaningful way.
The 60-Second Overview
Piney Woods on Merritt Island currently presents as a single 336-square-foot homesteaded structure from 1966; this is not a subdivision with active inventory or amenities, and any buyer inquiry should center on the lot itself and its development potential.

Who Piney Woods is best for.
Best for
- A land investor or small-scale builder willing to acquire a lot with an obsolete improvement and manage entitlements from scratch
- A buyer with cash or construction-to-perm financing who wants a Merritt Island address and can afford to demo and rebuild to modern standards
- Someone who has walked the parcel, confirmed utilities and zoning, and has a specific use case that does not depend on the existing 336-square-foot structure
Probably not for
- A buyer expecting a conventional single-family home with mortgage-ready condition and neighborhood comparables
- Anyone needing near-term resale liquidity or confidence in market pricing - there is no data to model exit strategy
- A first-time buyer or anyone uncomfortable with permitting risk, flood-zone research, and the possibility that the existing structure adds zero functional value

The Piney Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Piney Woods today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Piney Woods.
One listing, one lot story
When you see a neighborhood name attached to a lone 336-square-foot building from 1966, you are not analyzing a community - you are evaluating a parcel. Piney Woods may be a platted subdivision or simply a property-label quirk in the MLS; either way, there is no market depth, no comparables, and no amenity infrastructure to assess.
The homestead flag confirms someone lived here, but the size and age point toward either a very modest original cottage or a structure that has long since outgrown its useful life. Merritt Island offers waterfront access, Space Coast proximity, and a range of residential options; this listing is best understood in that broader context, not as representative of a cohesive neighborhood. If you are considering it, your due diligence should run to zoning, flood maps, utilities, and what the county will allow you to build - not to neighborhood comps or resale trends.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Piney Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A one-off listing with minimal square footage and a 1966 build date demands research, not guesswork. Momentum brokers will pull zoning, verify buildable lot dimensions, identify flood-zone constraints, and help you model realistic development or replacement costs before you write an offer. We work the Space Coast every day and know when a listing is a land play, a teardown, or a pass - and we will tell you which one this is after we walk it.
