About this home
Ponte Vedra Beach
Motivated price reduction of $50K.OPEN HOUSE 7/18/2026.POOL PARTY READY! Welcome to this luxurious modern home, a five minute walk from Mickler's Beach in the exclusive gated community of River Marsh, an intimate neighborhood with only 28 homes.

The home offers an open-concept layout, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Upon entry, a grand staircase and formal living and dining areas set the stage for elegance. The chef's kitchen is a highlight, featuring Thermador appliances, an oversized island, leathered granite countertops, and ample storage. It seamlessly flows into the spacious family room, which opens to the resort-style pool and outdoor entertaining area through sliding glass doors. A flex space, ideal for a bar or office area, also provides access to a covered outdoor patio.

True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, SilverLeaf, eTown…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill — the tax estimate above reflects county averages, so confirm this home’s exact CDD with us.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be.

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 1,595 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Hurricane evacuation zone B
Zone B evacuates after zone A in an approaching storm.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2013)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer · St Johns County Utilities - accounts · Public water · St Johns County Utilities - water accounts
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by St Johns County Utilities - accounts — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,651 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.
