Living in Florida's Space Coast
Hidden Pines Ranch
Hidden Pines Ranch is two streets, Hidden Pine Place and Pinewood Place, a mile north of State Road 524 on Friday Road. Both dead end. Every parcel is an acre, the houses are 1982 to 1990 brick, frame and stucco customs of 2,004 to 2,736 square feet, and there are no association dues. Garage counts run as high as six spaces.
Hidden Pines Ranch In Cocoa, Florida
Recorded as Hidden Pines Ranchettes, this is a very small acreage plat in west Cocoa 32926. There are exactly two streets, Hidden Pine Place and Pinewood Place, and both are dead ends with cul-de-sacs at the far end. You get there from State Road 524 by turning north on Friday Road and going about a mile. Nothing passes through, which is the entire point of the layout.
There are no association dues. None are collected, no budget exists and nothing is assessed. That is not the same as saying there are no recorded restrictions on the plat, so pull the covenants from the county before you plan anything unusual. In practice, owners here treat their acre as their own, and the RV ports, detached shops and long circular drives you see from the road are the evidence.
Every parcel is an acre or barely over, 1.0 to 1.05, and the houses were custom built between 1982 and 1990, not run off a production plan. You see brick on three of the five, plus wood siding, vinyl siding and stucco, mostly under shingle roofs. Sizes run 2,004 to 2,736 square feet with three or four bedrooms and two or three baths. Skylights, stone flooring, screened porches, spiral staircases to second floor balconies, courtyards and an outdoor shower all show up here.
Garage space is the standout. Two of the five homes carry well beyond the usual two car attached bay: one has an attached two car garage plus two detached two car garages for six spaces total, along with a forty foot RV port and enough circular driveway for a boat. If you have a truck, a trailer, a camper and a project car, this is one of the few Cocoa neighborhoods where all four fit legally on your own dirt.
The practical items are utilities and price. Four of the five are on a septic tank with City of Cocoa water, and one lot connects to public sewer, so confirm which you are buying. The range has run $420,000 to $595,000, around $217 per square foot, with marketing time near 49 days. Two homes have screened in ground pools, one solar heated with a rock waterfall. On an acre there is room for a pool anywhere the drainfield is not.

Hidden Pines Ranch Details
Two Streets, Both Dead Ends
Hidden Pine Place and Pinewood Place do not connect to anything. Nobody drives through here on the way somewhere else, and the cul-de-sac lots at the far end are the quietest parcels in the plat.
An Acre On Every Parcel
Lots run 1.0 to 1.05 acres with no exceptions. That is real separation between houses, room for a shop, and a place to put a pool without arguing with a setback.
Six Garage Spaces
One property here has an attached two car garage plus two detached two car garages, a forty foot RV port and a circular drive with room for a boat. That kind of vehicle capacity is very hard to find anywhere in Brevard.
Custom, Not Cookie Cutter
These were built one at a time in the 1980s. Brick exteriors, skylights, stone flooring, spiral staircases to a second floor balcony, courtyards and an outdoor shower all appear on this short street.
Nothing Is Assessed
No dues, no budget, no management company. Confirm what the recorded plat restrictions say through the county, but there is no association writing you a bill each year.
Septic Homework Required
Most lots run a septic tank on city water and at least one is connected to public sewer. Which one you are buying matters, and the drainfield location determines where a pool or an addition can go.

Hidden Pines Ranch Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Hidden Pines Ranch?
West Cocoa 32926. From Interstate 95 take exit 202 and head east on State Road 524 to Friday Road, then north on Friday Road about a mile to Hidden Pine Place or Pinewood Place on the east side.
Is it the same as Hidden Pines Ranchettes?
Yes. The recorded plat name is Hidden Pines Ranchettes, and you will see the neighborhood referred to both ways in county and title paperwork.
Are there homeowners association dues?
No dues are collected and there is no assessment on these parcels. That does not mean there are no recorded restrictions on the plat, so have the covenants pulled from the county during your inspection period.
How big are the lots?
Every parcel is an acre, ranging from 1.0 to 1.05 acres. That consistency is unusual and it means no lot in the plat is meaningfully smaller than its neighbor.
Can I keep an RV or a boat here?
This is one of the better places in Cocoa for it. One property has a forty foot RV port and six garage spaces, and the acre lots generally have the room and the driveway depth for a trailer or a camper.
Are the homes on septic?
Most are on a septic tank with City of Cocoa water, and at least one lot in the plat connects to public sewer. Verify which applies to the specific parcel before you write.
What are the houses like?
Custom 1980s builds of 2,004 to 2,736 square feet, several in brick, with three or four bedrooms. Skylights, stone floors, screened porches and second floor balconies are common. These are not production plans.
How long do homes take to sell?
Around 49 days. The buyer pool is specific, someone who wants an acre, a big garage and no association, and when that buyer shows up the house moves.
Hidden Pine Place off Friday Road, Cocoa 32926
Friday Road runs north off State Road 524 through the acreage country west of Cocoa, and Hidden Pines Ranch sits about a mile up on the east side. This is the Friday Road corridor: large parcels, ranchettes, well spaced houses and a very different feel from the sidewalk subdivisions closer to Interstate 95. State Road 524 is the connector, running southeast to the 95 interchange and northeast toward Cocoa proper.
Drive times: Interstate 95 in about eight minutes by way of 524, historic Cocoa Village around twenty minutes east on State Road 520, Cocoa Beach roughly thirty five minutes across the causeway, Port Canaveral about forty minutes on 528, and Orlando International Airport a little under an hour. The 524 to 95 to 528 sequence is the Orlando commute most owners on this side of Cocoa run.
