Introducing one of the most culturally significant and visually commanding waterfront offerings in all of Florida, the iconic Dragon Point. This .86-acre, fully buildable peninsula delivers an extraordinary 1,398 linear feet of direct water frontage and sweeping 180-degree views over both the Indian and Banana Rivers. Positioned at the true tip of Merritt Island, the property offers exceptional privacy, uninterrupted horizon lines, vivid sunrises and sunsets, and front-row vantage points for rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, a setting unmatched anywhere on the Space Coast. The history of Dragon Point is deeply woven into local identity and rooted in American Indian folklore. According to legend, witnessing a dragon rise from the mist where the two rivers meet was a sign of great fortune. Inspired by this myth, Florida artist Lewis VanDercar sculpted Annie the Dragon here in 1971 for the property owner, creating a landmark instantly recognized throughout Merritt Island and beyond. The story expanded further in 1981 under a new owner, who commissioned the addition of a tail, extended neck, and a playful cast of characters including caveman Fred, cavewoman Wilma, and four dragon hatchlings named Joy, Sunshine, Charity, and Freedom. Local lore also tells of a secret fifth hatchling, Rojak, kept hidden from view. In a rare and remarkable tribute to that history, the current owner, who is also a licensed contractor, has offered to rebuild Rojak for the future homeowner, giving the next steward the opportunity to revive a beloved piece of Space Coast mythology. With its iconic past, unrivaled setting, and boundless potential for a world-class waterfront estate, Dragon Point stands as a property without equal. Opportunities like this do not come twice. This is your moment to shape the next chapter of a site that has defined the shoreline, inspired generations, and captured imaginations for over half a century, a once-in-a-lifetime offering where history, folklore, and breathtaking natural beauty meet at the water's edge.
