Acreage & equestrian
Brevard's Most Permissive Equestrian Communities
Mims and Scottsmoor are for buyers who want acreage, agricultural-permitted use, and small-town quiet. Alongside Grant-Valkaria in South Brevard, they're the most permissive equestrian and hobby-farm areas in the county. Larger lots (1+ acres common, 5+ acres available), agricultural-permitted zoning across most parcels, and a community culture that supports barns, paddocks, riding rings, and outbuildings.
Standard 1970s–1990s single-family on small lots trades $200K–$325K; acreage parcels with custom homes, barns, and hobby-farm setups trade $400K–$800K+; the largest equestrian estates can cross $1M. Inventory turnover is slow given the rural character and tenured-resident profile, but availability of large acreage is unmatched in Brevard.
Activities cluster around the Enchanted Forest Sanctuary (hiking, birdwatching, photography), the Indian River Lagoon (fishing, kayaking), and the broader Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. The closest substantial retail and medical services are in Titusville (10 minutes south), but the rural quietness and space are exactly what buyers seeking acreage are looking for.
Common questions
FAQ — Mims & Scottsmoor Real Estate
Why are Mims and Scottsmoor so cheap compared to other Brevard areas?
+
Three factors. First, distance from the Brevard urban core — Mims and Scottsmoor are 25–30 minutes from KSC, 35+ from Cocoa Beach, and 70+ from Orlando, putting them outside daily-commuter range for most non-local jobs. Second, rural character means lower density, fewer services, and longer travel for retail and medical. Third, older assessed housing stock (1970s–1990s) keeps median assessed values low, even as active acreage sales push averages higher. The trade-off is acreage and rural quiet at price points that don't exist elsewhere in Brevard.
Are Mims and Scottsmoor good for horse owners?
+
Yes — alongside Grant-Valkaria in South Brevard, they're the most permissive equestrian and hobby-farm areas in the county. Larger lots (1+ acres common, 5+ acres available), agricultural-permitted zoning across most parcels, and a community culture that supports barns, paddocks, riding rings, and outbuildings. Always verify the specific parcel's zoning and deed restrictions before assuming horses are permitted.
What schools serve Mims and Scottsmoor?
+
Brevard Public Schools' North Brevard / Titusville cluster. Mims Elementary School serves the area; Astronaut High School in Titusville is the typical high school. Always verify exact zoning with the BPS School Locator. Rural distances mean some parcels have meaningful school-bus commutes.
