Scottsmoor
Brevard's far-north frontier — ranches, oaks, and acreage where the Space Coast goes quiet.
The short answer
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.

Life in Scottsmoor
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 Scottsmoor 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.

Scottsmoor 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 to Scottsmoor: what we tell our buyers
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.

Is Scottsmoor a good place to buy acreage?

How far is Scottsmoor from the beach?
