The Merritt Island mansion at 205 Hacienda Drive, officially known as ‘Hacienda del Sol’ and sometimes referred to as the ‘White House of the South’, is on the market with a $6.8 million price tag after it sold for $4.5 million in 2021.
When the house last sold, it was the second-priciest single-family home deal in Brevard County history.
The 81-year-old estate hosted astronauts and U.S. presidents Kennedy and Johnson during the height of the Space Race in the 1960s. Also, it was the spot of one of billionaire Elon Musk’s watch parties for his SpaceX rocket launches from Cape Canaveral.
