About this lot

Melrose

*OWNER FINANCING WITH 25% DOWN* Waterfront living awaits on this beautiful 1.12-acre lot with 135 feet of frontage on Lake Carleton, a small, private lake perfect for relaxing, fishing, or paddling.

Melrose, Florida, is a short commute to Gainesville and Jacksonville. The area has a charming small town feel surrounded by some of North Central Florida's most beautiful lakes, including Lake Santa Fe, a 10 mile long pristine waterbody.

It is a haven for boating, fishing, and lakeside living, offering a relaxed lifestyle in a vibrant, nature-rich community. Drive-by's welcomed.

Cost to own

Carrying cost

What holding this lot costs per month at the asking price. Land loans run on different terms than a home mortgage, so the payment is left out; ask for current lot-loan terms.

Estimated total, taxes and HOA$0/mo
  • • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
  • • 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.

Nearby, from public data

The closest public beach, park, water access, league fields and grocery store from this home's location.

Not from the MLS. Places from FWC, FDEP, the water districts, the counties and the cities; stores from state food permits and each chain’s store list. Distances are straight-line from this home unless a drive time is shown. Fees, hours and access change, so check the agency’s page before you go.

Taxes & assessment

2024 property taxes (current owner): $167/yr

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. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
