Windover Farms of Melbourne, the honest version.
Two-thirds of an acre, a pool on four out of five lots, and thirty houses a year that come up for sale out of seven hundred. The lot is the product. The 1990s roof is the homework.
There are two Windover Farms.
Before anything else, because this trips people up. There is Windover Farms of Melbourne, which is this page, and there is a separate Windover Farms up in Titusville, about forty minutes north. Different communities, different housing, different prices. The Titusville one runs bigger lots and a lower median sale. If you are searching listings by name, you are getting both, and nothing in the search results will tell you that. Check the city before you drive.
What 726 homes look like on paper.
I keep the full Brevard property roll on hand, every parcel, not a listing-site sample. This is all of Windover Farms of Melbourne as the county appraiser sees it, across 14 recorded plats.
Source: Brevard County Property Appraiser public roll, mid-2026. Lot sizes are the county's recorded acreage; pool counts are the county's field. Sale medians are recorded sale prices, not appraiser market value.
The lot is the product.
Almost everything else in Brevard that sells around this price is newer, tighter and easier. Look at what the county roll says about the alternatives at a similar or higher price point.
The whole trade, in three rows. You are not paying a premium here for a newer kitchen or a shorter drive. You are paying for land, tree canopy and separation from your neighbors, in a county where the current builders are delivering a seventh of an acre. If the yard is not the reason you are here, this is an expensive way to buy a 1993 house. If the yard is the reason, there are about nine communities in Brevard that can give you this and most of them cost more.
Three Windover realities to price in.
A 1993 median means the roof is the negotiation
Median year built here is 1993. In Florida in 2026, that single number drives more failed contracts than price does. Insurers price roof age harder than almost anything else, a four-point inspection can decide whether a policy exists at all, and at this price point an uninsurable house is an unsellable house. None of that is a reason to avoid the neighborhood. It is a reason to get the roof age, the wind mitigation report and an insurance quote before you are emotionally committed, not during the inspection period. Get the insurance quote into your timeline up front on a house this age. Finding out in week three is how people lose deposits and weekends.
Four out of five homes have a pool, and a 30-year-old pool is a real line item
78% of the homes here have one. On a house from the early nineties, that means the pool surface, the equipment and the screen enclosure are all somewhere in their life cycle, and screen enclosures in particular have a habit of meeting hurricanes. Get the age of all three. A pool is a great reason to buy a house and a bad thing to inherit blind.
Thirty houses a year is the actual constraint
Only 4.1% of this community changed hands in the last twelve months, 30 sales out of 726 homes. Combined with 87% of it being homesteaded owner-occupied, that tells you something plain: this is not a place you shop, it is a place you wait for. If you need to be in a house in sixty days, be honest with yourself about whether that is compatible with this neighborhood. If you can wait, waiting is the strategy, and the right move is having someone watching for the listing rather than refreshing a portal.
Three things I could not source.
Three things I could not source, and I would rather show you the gap than fill it with something I read on a listing site.
The HOA dues
Not published anywhere public that I could verify. Windover Farms is managed through a management company, and the dues live behind that, not on a website. Anyone quoting you a precise figure is quoting something they cannot source. Get the estoppel and the recorded documents. I will pull them for a specific address.
Whether you can keep a horse on it
It is called Windover Farms and the lots run to 3.59 acres, so it is the obvious question. I could not verify the livestock and outbuilding rules from any public source, and the answer is going to live in the recorded covenants and in county zoning for the specific parcel, which is exactly the kind of thing that varies lot to lot within one community. Do not buy on a vibe here. Ask me and I will pull the covenants and the zoning for the address before you offer.
Your schools and your flood zone
Both are assigned by address, not by subdivision, and both get redrawn. A community spread across 14 plats can split across zones. Verify school zoning for the exact address with Brevard Public Schools, and pull the flood zone at FEMA's Map Service Center. My flood zone guide walks it.
Nothing here competes.
If the lot is what you want, nothing else on this list competes. If you are cross-shopping on price rather than land, Sawgrass Lakes gets you two decades newer for less money on a quarter of the lot, and Heritage Isle gets you a maintained lifestyle with a district assessment attached. The Melbourne guide covers the wider market.
Questions people actually ask.
How big are the lots in Windover Farms of Melbourne?
The county roll puts the median lot at 0.62 of an acre, with lots running up to 3.59 acres. For comparison, the median across the 304 Brevard communities I can measure cleanly is 0.18 of an acre, which makes this the ninth-largest median lot in the county. The lot is the product here.
Is Windover Farms in Melbourne the same as Windover Farms in Titusville?
No. They are two separate communities about forty minutes apart with different housing and different prices, and searching by name returns both. Check the city before you drive.
Can you keep a horse in Windover Farms?
It is the most obvious question given the name and the lot sizes, and I could not verify the answer from any public source. Livestock and outbuilding rules will be in the recorded covenants and in county zoning for the specific parcel, and that kind of rule varies lot to lot within one community. Do not buy on the assumption. Get the covenants and the zoning for the address first.
How often do homes come up for sale in Windover Farms?
Rarely. Thirty sales in the last twelve months out of 726 homes, about 4.1% of the community, with 87% of it homesteaded owner-occupied. This is not a place you shop, it is a place you wait for.
Waiting on the right lot here? No pressure.
Thirty homes a year trade out of seven hundred, so the good ones are a timing problem, not a searching problem. Tell me what you want and I will watch it for you and text you when it lists. No drip campaign, no calls.
