INDIALANTIC, Fla. - Californer -- Nestled within the pristine waters of the Indian River Lagoon, VIP Island, also known as Grant Farm Island, in Grant-Valkaria is among Florida's most exclusive waterfront enclaves. Accessible only by boat, and with only 110 homesites, this private island community offers a rare combination of luxury, tranquility, and unspoiled natural beauty. With sweeping river vistas, unforgettable sunsets, and an unmatched sense of privacy, VIP Island delivers an extraordinary and exclusive waterfront lifestyle unlike anywhere else on Florida's Space Coast.

Lauren Merrell, Luxury Real Estate Specialist with Dale Sorensen Real Estate, recently announced the dramatic price improvement for one of Brevard County's most outstanding waterfront properties. The home, located at 17 VIP Island A, is currently listed for $1,199,900.

Set on 1.5 lots with 75 feet of direct Intracoastal frontage, this western-facing retreat captures wide river views, unforgettable sunsets, and 4-5 feet of water at the dock. The 2,494 square foot home features 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and has undergone a remarkable transformation inside and out.
