Windover Farms in Melbourne, FL Homes For Sale
Windover Farms is a large-lot deed-restricted community off Windover Way in unincorporated Brevard, west of Wickham Road between the Post Road and Pineda Causeway corridors. Lots run from roughly a third of an acre up to about two acres, and horses are permitted on lots over an acre and a half. The community was platted as a planned unit development and built out largely through the late 1980s and 1990s under a mature oak canopy.
What Windover Farms Gets Right
Actual Acreage
The county record puts homesites between roughly a third of an acre and about two acres. The very large parcels here are association-owned tracts, not lots you can buy. In a county where most new construction sits on a fifth of an acre, this is still the reason people come.
Horses
Lots over an acre and a half permit horses. Combined with Wickham Park next door and its horse trails, that is a genuinely rare setup this close to Melbourne.
The Amenity Package
A covered pavilion with a lake and dock, soccer fields, a baseball diamond, tennis courts, air-conditioned racquetball courts, a clubhouse and jogging trails. Amenity access runs on key cards issued through the association.
What To Expect
Deed Restricted
Windover Farms is a deed-restricted planned unit development with wide winding roads and a mature oak canopy. Confirm the entry arrangement and the restrictions for the specific section you are looking at, because a community this size is not uniform.
Preserve Backing
Some lots back to nature preserve. Those are worth identifying early because the inventory is limited and it does not come back on the market often.
Getting Out
Melbourne Orlando International Airport is roughly nine miles and Patrick Space Force Base is about the same. The Pineda Causeway and Wickham Road are the two routes toward I-95.
Three Things To Check Here
Well, Septic And Irrigation
On lots this size do not assume the utility setup. Confirm water, sewer, well and septic on the specific parcel, and find out what irrigating half an acre or more actually costs before you sign.
Roof Age And Wind Mitigation
On a late 1980s or 1990s house, roof, panel and HVAC age are the whole insurance conversation. Ask for the wind mitigation report, form OIR-B1-1802, which stays valid up to five years and credits roof covering, deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape, secondary water resistance and opening protection. How Florida homeowners insurance actually works.
Your Tax Bill, Not The Seller's
If you are buying from a long-time owner, their homestead cap comes off at the end of the closing year and the property is reassessed at market value. Budget from that number, not the one on the current tax bill. Brevard property taxes and Save Our Homes.
