The house at 2941 Emeldi Ln in Melbourne was finished in 2014 in the Fairway Lakes at Viera community, where a heated pool set between two fire bowls faces a lake at the back of the property. Its sale was one of five reported across the Palm Bay, Florida metro area for the week of September 21 through September 27, 2026, and the five together came to $6.49 million.
Nos. 1 and 2 both closed in Melbourne, with the rest of the list in Indialantic, in Cocoa and on Merritt Island. The Nos. 2, 4 and 5 properties each front water: a house at the junction of two canals, a ninth-floor corner condominium above the Indian River, and a Merritt Island home with a boathouse and boat lift.
No. 1 — $1,382,500 · 2941 Emeldi Ln, Melbourne, Florida
Stacked stone accents, crown molding and corbels frame the raised covered entry of the Emeldi Lane house, which was custom built in 2014 and closed on September 24, 2026 at $1.38 million. Each phase of construction was monitored by the owner, according to the listing. The property previously changed hands for $84,300 in 2014.
A foyer with a tray ceiling and crown molding opens on a sightline across the great room to the pool and the lake beyond. The semi-formal dining room carries a tray ceiling and double crown molding, and a built-in wine rack sits on the way through to the kitchen, where glass-fronted and illuminated cabinetry, extra-deep drawers and a five-burner gas cooktop set against a stacked stone wall surround a 10-by-5-foot island holding the sink, dishwasher and microwave drawer. Three seeded-glass pendant lights hang above it, and the eat-in area is wrapped by a frameless glass bay window. A 19-by-17-foot game room has a full wet bar with cabinetry, a granite counter and a beverage refrigerator, plus three windows facing the lake.
Double doors lead into the primary suite, where his and hers closets give way to an 18-by-15-foot bedroom with a tray ceiling and a French door to the porch. The bath is floored in travertine laid on the diagonal in a checkerboard pattern, with a double vanity, a freestanding vessel tub and a separate shower fitted with three heads, one of them a rain shower. Outside, two fire bowls flank a pool heated by a new heat pump. One covered porch, 13 by 18 feet, is plumbed for a summer kitchen with water, electric, gas and a vented hood; a second, 20 by 11 feet, looks across the pool to the lake. The four-bedroom, three-bath house carries a reported 3,342 square feet.

No. 2 — $1,375,000 · 2318 N Riverside Dr, Melbourne, Florida
A .38-acre lot at the junction of two canals puts the No. 2 sale within quick reach of the Intracoastal Waterway, with wide water and sunset views from the rear of the property. The 1989 house, built by DiPrima Homes, traded at $1,375,000 in a September 25, 2026 closing. The property previously changed hands for $235,000 in 1996.
A composite dock with a boat lift reaches into the water, and the back of the lot holds a screened pool and spa, a pavered lanai and tropical landscaping. Inside, a split floor plan separates the bedrooms, engineered hardwood flooring runs through the house and an aluminum roof covers it. The kitchen pairs custom wood cabinetry with stainless steel appliances, a large movable island and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the lanai and the water beyond. The primary bath was recently updated with an oversized shower, and a dry bar stands nearby.
An air-conditioned workshop of roughly 20 by 20 feet serves as a hobby room, gym, studio or climate-controlled storage, and its garage lintel is already in place, so it can be converted back into an additional garage bay. The three-bedroom, two-bath residence carries a reported 2,222 square feet, a few minutes from the beach, shopping and dining.
Michelle McKinney of RE/MAX Elite was the listing agent. The home went under contract 19 days after the current listing date and closed at its full asking price. Ricky L Van Sickle of Arium Real Estate, LLC represented the buyer.

No. 3 — $1,275,000 · 339 Cocoa Ave, Indialantic, Florida
Built in 1959 of concrete block, 339 Cocoa Ave stands in Indialantic By The Sea, the stretch of South Indialantic below Fifth Avenue that sits a short walk from the Atlantic. The $1,275,000 transaction was completed September 24, 2026. The property previously changed hands for $775,000 in 2005.
The updates have come in stages: a newer roof in 2021, a kitchen renovation in 2010, Andersen windows and doors across the rear in 2026, hurricane-rated windows at the front and hurricane shutters at the back. Pecky cypress accents, travertine and marble run through the interior, and a split floor plan sets the primary suite apart from the gathering rooms. The three-bedroom, three-bath house carries a reported 3,446 square feet.
The rear of the house opens to a covered lanai, a pool, a travertine terrace and a fully custom outdoor kitchen. More than a dozen parks, along with restaurants and shops, sit within reach of the block.

Margret Cornell of Cornell Real Estate was the listing agent. Elena Lynch of EXP Realty, LLC represented the buyer.
Nine floors above Cocoa Village, a southeast corner residence at 21 Riverside Drive looks out over the Indian River and the Intracoastal Waterway through wraparound balconies. A September 22, 2026 closing carried the condominium at $1,235,000. The property previously changed hands for $575,000 in 2012.
The 2004 building holds only two residences per floor, and a private elevator opens directly into this one.

Three bedrooms and three baths occupy a reported 3,260 square feet.
The residence comes with a two-car garage and storage space, and the pet-friendly building adds a community dock, lobby security cameras and elevator access restricted to each floor.

No. 5 — $1,225,000 · 2340 Newfound Harbor Drive, Merritt Island, Florida
A boathouse, boat lift and jet ski lift line the river frontage behind a two-story home on Newfound Harbor Drive in Merritt Island. It sold for $1,225,000 on September 21, 2026. The property previously changed hands for $705,000 in 2020.
Built in 1990 and recently refreshed with new exterior paint, the house holds four bedrooms across a reported 3,236 square feet, with a formal living room, a family room and an upstairs bonus room.

The backyard holds a solar-heated saltwater pool and spa and a deluxe built-in outdoor kitchen with a grill and seating, and the dock structures give direct river access. A whole-house Generac generator and a whole-house Bluetooth intercom and audio system are among the property’s other systems.
