Plantation Estates
Plantation Estates is essentially one street. Lee Hall Place runs off Belfast Avenue in Port St John and dead ends in a cul-de-sac, and the homes along it sit on half acre to one acre lots. They were custom built between 1986 and 1988, they run 2,124 to 4,249 square feet, most have pools, and there is no homeowners association.
Plantation Estates In Cocoa, Florida
Plantation Estates is a small enclave inside the Port St John street grid, and it hides in plain sight. Lee Hall Place is the only address in it. You reach it from Belfast Avenue off Curtis Boulevard, or from Fay Boulevard by way of Juanita Street or Carole Avenue, and the street ends in a cul-de-sac. Street lights and sidewalks were built in, which is not universal in this part of unincorporated Brevard.
The lots are the reason this pocket exists. Port St John was platted mostly in quarter acre pieces, and Plantation Estates runs half an acre to just over an acre, with about half an acre typical. A couple of the properties occupy two parcels together. Mature oak canopy covers most of the street and one of the larger holdings takes in part of a pond. That is a different feel from the blocks around it.
Construction here is worth a paragraph on its own. Every home is frame rather than concrete block, several with brick veneer and a few with wood or composition siding, all under shingle roofs. Most are two story with cathedral ceilings, and stone fireplaces and screened balconies off the primary bedroom show up more than once. Florida insurers rate frame differently than masonry, so get an insurance quote before your inspection period runs out rather than after.
Sizes run 2,124 to 4,249 square feet with about 2,472 typical, three to five bedrooms and two to five baths. Two car garages are standard. Four out of five homes here have a pool, usually in ground and screened, with one heated. There is no association, no assessment and no architectural review, which is exactly how the sellers on this street have advertised it for years and it is accurate.
The market position is unusual. Prices have run $370,000 to $465,000 with $459,000 in the middle, at around $170 per square foot, and marketing time has run near 15 days, among the fastest anywhere in the Cocoa market. You are buying a large custom home on a big lot for less per foot than a much smaller production house nearby. Homes are on septic with public water, so budget for a septic inspection.

Plantation Estates Details
Half Acre Lots Inside The Grid
Port St John was laid out mostly in quarter acre lots. Lee Hall Place runs half an acre to just over an acre with oak canopy, which is why the street feels nothing like the blocks that surround it.
Custom, Not Production
These homes were built individually in the late 1980s. Cathedral ceilings, stone fireplaces, screened balconies off the primary bedroom, and floor plans that vary house to house rather than repeating down the street.
Frame And Brick, Not Block
Every home here is frame construction, several with brick veneer. That is uncommon in Brevard and it affects insurance pricing, so get a quote early. It also gives the street a look that reads as northern rather than coastal.
Large Homes, Low Price Per Foot
At roughly $170 per square foot you can buy well over 2,400 square feet, and the largest home on the street exceeds 4,200. Very little in Brevard offers that much house on that much land in this price band.
Pools Are Standard
Most homes on Lee Hall Place already have an in ground pool, usually screen enclosed. On a half acre lot the pool sits well away from the property line rather than filling the yard.
It Sells Fast
Marketing time has run about 15 days. When a property on this street comes up, it moves, because there are only a handful of addresses and the buyers who want one are already watching for it.
