Property Description
Single story and just under 2,900 square feet, the layout flows the way you actually use a home. The gathering spaces open toward the back of the property, light comes in from every side, and the kitchen was built for someone who genuinely cooks. The gas range is a rare find on the barrier island, where nearly everything runs electric, and you notice the difference the first night you cook for a crowd.
The back of the home is where you will spend your time. The pool is screened and heated, there is a spa for cooler evenings, and the water past the deck is a private lake rather than a canal. Mornings out here are quiet. No boat traffic, no seawall to look after, just the lake, the birds, and a covered patio that works as well for coffee at seven in the morning as it does for dinner at seven at night. Inside, four bedrooms give you room to spread out. The primary suite sits away from the traffic of the house, and the remaining bedrooms adapt easily to guests, a home office, a studio, or whatever the season of life calls for. Everything is on one level, so there are no stairs to negotiate with groceries, luggage, or years.
Behind the finishes, this home has been well cared for. The roof was replaced in 2025 and impact rated windows and doors run throughout, which settles the insurance and storm season questions before you ever unpack. The air conditioning was replaced in 2023. There is a two car garage, and the home is vacant and staged, so there is no project list waiting for you on the other side of closing.
Tortoise Island is the reason people come to this end of Satellite Beach and stay. A guard sits at the gate with a rover circulating around the clock. There are four pickleball courts and four tennis courts, a community pool, a playground, saunas, and a clubhouse with a gym and a playroom downstairs. Every owner gets one free clubhouse party each year. The streets are flat, shaded, and made for walking, which is why you will almost always see someone out on them.
There is also a community boat ramp available to every resident. This home is not on a navigable canal, and that is the honest tradeoff here. What you give up is a private dock. What you get back is water views without a seawall assessment, without bottom paint, and without the maintenance that comes with keeping a boat behind the house. For a lot of buyers, that trade is the whole reason this home makes sense.
The location does the rest. The Atlantic is minutes away, Patrick Space Force Base sits just up the road, and the aerospace and technology corridor along US 1 puts L3Harris, Northrop Grumman, and the launch facilities at Cape Canaveral within an easy commute. Zoned Sea Park, Holland, and Satellite High. HOA dues are $388 per month.
If you have been waiting for the right home inside this gate, come walk it and see how the lake feels in person.
