About this home
Melrose
Enjoy lakefront living on peaceful Lake Serena (approximately 60 acres). Set on a beautiful ~0.25-acre lot shaded by majestic oaks and blooming azaleas, this well-kept 1970 single-wide mobile home offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with a practical, easy-living layout. Step onto the back deck for sweeping water views—perfect for morning coffee or sunset unwinding. Spend time in the gazebo enjoying the vistas, or lay back in the hammock and take a cat nap. Fenced backyard includes a storage shed for your gear and garden tools, while the front yard features a powered 225-sq-ft block building—great for a workshop, studio, or extra storage. With direct lake access for paddling, fishing, and relaxing, this home delivers a laid-back lifestyle and a hard-to-find price point on the water. Bring your ideas to personalize, or enjoy as is—either way, you're buying into true lake life.
Cost to own
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, 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 (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone A — high-risk flood zone (Special Flood Hazard Area)
Lenders require flood insurance for financed purchases here.
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Outside all hurricane evacuation zones
This location is not in a designated storm-surge evacuation zone.
Roof: Metal — year not disclosed (home built 1970)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Private well (public record)
County records indicate a private well — a water-quality test is a standard (and cheap) pre-closing step.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,110 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeAs of July 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.

Taxes & assessment
2024 property taxes (current owner): $1,124/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.
