About this home
St. Augustine
This peninsula property is just under an acre and sits at the north end of one of Anastasia Island's most private double cul-de-sac streets. With more than 175 feet of direct Intracoastal Waterway frontage, a small marsh creek, and wide salt marsh views, the homesite offers a strong sense of privacy and natural surroundings. The surrounding acres of preservation land create the sense of an expansive private estate while ensuring your views are protected.To the west, enjoy the unobstructed view across the ICW to sandbars, tidal creeks, and the untouched beauty of Moses Creek Preserve, located over two miles away- providing some of the longest, most undisturbed sunset views on Anastasia Island. Located within Espanita, a gated community of just 24 homesites, this lot provides an excellent opportunity to build a custom coastal home. The shoreline allows for deep-water access, and the property includes an existing coquina bulkhead. While the setting is peaceful, the location remains

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).

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 AE — 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.
Hurricane evacuation zone A
Zone A evacuates first in a storm — typically coastal and surge-prone areas.
Roof: material not specified
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,822 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.

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.
