Private Waterfront Home Near Cape Canaveral

Available Before MLS Listing

Relocating to Florida's Space Coast? This 4,288-square-foot waterfront home on Sykes Creek offers boating, rocket launch views, wildlife, and easy access to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and ULA.

Update - July 2026:
Potential 2026 Florida Property Tax Opportunity

We currently expect to list this home by October 1, 2026.

If you are relocating from another state, you may want to see the home sooner. Florida voters will decide Amendment 3 in November 2026. If it passes, homeowners who establish Florida residency by December 31, 2026 may qualify immediately for expanded homestead tax benefits, while later arrivals would have to wait several years. Because every buyer's tax situation is different, please consult your tax advisor regarding eligibility and potential savings.

If you'd like a private tour before the home is listed, contact Tony Giannotti, REALTOR®, 321-576-0037.

Why We Love This House

We were not planning to sell until 2027. We love watching launches from the deck, dolphins from the dock, and hosting family around the pool. As much as we love the home, we realize that eventually a two-story waterfront home may not be practical for us. If this is the right home for you, we'd be happy to discuss a private sale before listing publicly.
