530 Hidden Creek Drive, Merritt Island, FL 32952
This is the kind of property that turns everyday life into something a little more interesting. Thoughtfully updated from the major systems to the finishes, the home pairs a refreshed interior with an outdoor setting that feels more like a private compound than a typical backyard. Impact-rated glass throughout, a standing-seam aluminum roof, updated HVAC & ductwork, a whole-house Generac generator, smart-home technology & extensive improvements create a home designed with longevity in mind. Inside, the 2019 renovation introduced new tile flooring, drywall, ceilings & interior paint throughout, while the kitchen & both bathrooms were fully remodeled the same year. Multiple sliding glass doors and generous windows keep the interior connected to the lush property beyond, setting the tone for a home where indoor & outdoor living genuinely work together.
The 2019 transformation went far beyond cosmetic updates, creating a cohesive interior with tile flooring carried throughout for an easy, streamlined flow. The remodeled kitchen was outfitted with an impressive appliance package including a convection oven, induction cooktop, combination oven/microwave, dishwasher & refrigerator, while both bathrooms were completely remodeled as part of the same renovation. Behind the scenes, the home continued to evolve with new HVAC equipment & all-new ductwork in 2022, a 45-gallon hybrid water heater, whole-house water filtration system & the reassurance of impact-rated windows and impact-rated sliding glass doors installed in 2016.
The backyard experience begins with a custom 8,000-gallon saltwater pool & hot tub completed in 2019, all contained within an expansive screened enclosure that creates a substantial open-air extension of the home. The pool's clean geometric design is surrounded by a broad deck with plenty of room to spread out, while an integrated swim machine adds another dimension for exercise and recreation. A new Pentair IntelliChlor saltwater chlorine generator was installed in 2026, bringing a recent upgrade to an already impressive setup. Surrounded by mature greenery and a large lawn beyond the enclosure, this isn't simply a place for an occasional swim—it is an outdoor living environment built to be used.
And then the backyard gets even better. A substantial covered outdoor living space brings an entirely different personality to the property, with a soaring exposed-wood ceiling, structural beams, multiple ceiling fans, string lighting & expansive wood decking. A built-in wood-fired pizza oven anchors the cooking area alongside a sink, while a climbing wall adds an unexpected recreational element. The open-sided design keeps the area immersed in the surrounding landscape, creating a relaxed, organic atmosphere with plenty of space for dining, entertaining & spending long afternoons outside. It feels less like a conventional patio and more like a destination within the property.
Beyond the pool & patio the property opens into a remarkably expansive lawn framed by mature trees and tropical plantings. A massive established tree becomes an architectural feature of its own, supporting an elaborate multi-level treehouse complete with elevated platforms, railings, climbing access, swings & a tube slide. The lawn provides generous open space around it, giving the backyard a playful, free-range quality that's increasingly hard to find. A 2021 fence encloses the property, helping define the various outdoor zones while preserving the sense of openness across the grounds.
One of the property's most distinctive spaces is its dedicated garden area, affectionately marked as “The Patch.” Raised planting beds, established herbs and greenery, garden paths, arbors & gated sections create a charming garden-within-a-garden atmosphere. The mix of wood, corrugated metal, stone-like circular pavers and dense tropical foliage gives this area a wonderfully organic character, while banana plants form a dramatic green canopy around portions of the space. Rather than treating the yard as one large expanse, the landscaping creates a collection of experiences—poolside recreation, open lawn, gardening, play areas & shaded spaces beneath mature trees.
The outdoor lifestyle continues with a dedicated chicken area and enclosed coop, giving the property an unmistakable garden-to-table personality. Chickens have room to roam across the grassy yard, while the enclosed structures provide dedicated space for their care. Nearby banana trees and established tropical vegetation reinforce the almost homestead-like feel, yet the setting remains decidedly Florida—lush, green and designed around year-round outdoor living. It's a rare combination of recreation, gardening and self-sufficient spirit, all within one residential property.
Some of the home's biggest advantages are working quietly behind the scenes. A low-hour 22kW Generac whole-house generator installed in 2016 is supported by a 500-gallon underground propane tank. The garage was refreshed in 2022 with an epoxy floor, refinished ceiling & newly painted walls and ceiling, and EV owners have 2 charging options: a Tesla wall charger plus a 220V 20A outlet for Level 2 charging. WiFi-enabled smart lights & locks add modern functionality, while a hardwired Ring video doorbell and hardwired LED floodlight cameras on all 4 exterior walls provide an integrated security setup. Starlink, Spectrum cable & AT&T fiber are available, giving the property multiple connectivity options.
The list of substantial upgrades continues with the 2019 GulfCoast standing-seam aluminum roof carrying a 25/20-year warranty through 2044, exterior paint completed in 2020, a 2020 whole-house water filtration system and septic tank lids & pump-out completed that same year. The property also benefits from its proximity to an adjacent undeveloped parcel owned by a church, adding to the open feel surrounding this exceptionally versatile home.
