# Scottsmoor, Florida — Real Estate & Living Guide > Brevard's far-north frontier — ranches, oaks, and acreage where the Space Coast goes quiet. Canonical page: https://7wavesrealestate.com/service-areas/scottsmoor Published by 7 Waves Real Estate (https://7wavesrealestate.com) · (321) 775-5515 ## Should you move here? Scottsmoor is a rural, unincorporated community of roughly 1,200 people at the far north end of Brevard County, Florida. It offers acreage homesteads, equestrian properties, and old-Florida quiet on the northern Indian River Lagoon — with I-95 minutes away for commutes to Titusville, Kennedy Space Center, and Daytona. ## Key facts - Region: Space Coast (Brevard County) - Approximate median home price: $335K - Community size: ~1,200 residents - Drive to the beach: ~40 minutes - Public school rating (curated from FL DOE grades): 6/10 - Share of homes in FEMA flood zones: ~25% - Wind/flood insurance exposure tier: 1/5 - County property tax rate: ~0.86% ## About the area Scottsmoor is where the Space Coast trades sidewalks for fence lines. Oak-canopied dirt lanes, pastures, and pine flatwoods roll east toward the lagoon, and the loudest thing most days is a rocket climbing out of the Cape to the southeast. This is the county's last genuinely rural coastal pocket — homesteads, horses, and room to breathe. Buyers come here for land: one- to ten-acre parcels, custom and manufactured homes without HOA rulebooks, barns and workshops that would never fit in a subdivision. Scottsmoor Landing puts a boat ramp on the quiet north lagoon, Buck Lake Conservation Area sprawls to the west, and I-95 makes Titusville, the Space Center, and even Daytona practical daily drives. ## What makes it worth it - **Scottsmoor Landing** — A quiet county boat ramp on the northern Indian River Lagoon — flats fishing and sunrise water without the crowds. - **Buck Lake Conservation Area** — Nearly 10,000 acres of flatwoods and marsh trails for hiking, horses, and wildlife watching, right out the back door. - **Seminole Ranch Conservation Area** — St. Johns River wilderness to the west — airboats, hogs, and real backcountry Florida. - **Canaveral National Seashore (north)** — The wild, undeveloped beach at Apollo Beach and Playalinda is an easy day trip east. - **Launch views over the pasture** — Rockets rise over the tree line to the southeast — locals watch from their own porches. ## Fun facts - Scottsmoor is Brevard County's northernmost community — the next stop up US-1 is Volusia County's Oak Hill. - The area was platted in the 1920s land boom and named by settlers from Scotland — the "moor" fit the open flatwoods. - Horses outnumber traffic lights here; the community has none of the latter. - The northern Indian River Lagoon nearby is famous for its clear-water flats and redfish sight-fishing. ## Moving & relocation notes - **Acreage due diligence:** Rural parcels mean wells, septic, easements, and sometimes unpaved access — we verify all of it, plus flood zones on the low flatwoods, before you offer. - **Commute & getting around:** I-95 is minutes away: Titusville in 15, Kennedy Space Center in about 25, Daytona in 35–40. Daily errands run to Titusville or Mims. - **Insurance & flood:** Inland elevation and distance from the surf keep insurance in Florida's friendlier tiers, though low-lying pasture can carry FEMA A zones — parcel-level checks matter here. - **Lifestyle fit:** For buyers who want horses, workshops, big gardens, and dark skies — with the Space Coast's jobs and beaches still within a half hour. ## Frequently asked questions ### Where is Scottsmoor, Florida?
