A price point that doesn’t start at $1M

Let’s be honest — most new construction today means:
Eagle Crest is the opposite.
Most homesites here range from:
-
½ acre
-
¾ acre
-
Up to 1 acre
They are heavily wooded, some offer long water views, and many back to conservation.
It feels tucked away, quiet, and natural — but you're still just minutes from everything you need.
That combination is rare in Brevard County at this price point.
