About this home
Fernandina Beach
Experience the pinnacle of coastal luxury with 100 feet of ocean frontage at this extraordinary Amelia Island estate featuring an elegant main residence and a beautifully designed guest house both positioned to capture breathtaking views that stretch for miles. The three level main house crowned with an incredible ocean view roof deck showcases meticulous craftsmanship and sophisticated modern design thanks to Studio9 Architecture and StudioM Interior Design. Every detail has been considered from Brazilian IPE siding and metal roofing to spectacular views on each floor afforded by floor to ceiling curtain wall window systems with impact rated glass. A special 27 foot variance was obtained to allow the pool and main house to be built beyond the coastal construction line. Not only does this deliver unparalleled views from the property compared to any other on the island but the foundation's 32 foot deep auger cast pilings can withstand the loss of 12 feet of earth ensuring exceptional

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 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 A
Zone A evacuates first in a storm — typically coastal and surge-prone areas.
Roof: Metal — year not disclosed (home built 2018)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer (public record) · Public water (record)
County records show this parcel on central sewer — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,724 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 September 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields, read at the listing’s map pin or, on lots of an acre or more, across the county parcel (state cadastral). A zone shown for part of a lot may not be where the home stands. 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.

Sun & Light
West-facing backyard — the sunset lot
The listing reports the home facing east, which puts the backyard and pool on the west side. Today at this address: sunrise 6:41 AM, sunset 5:37 PM.
- A pool back here is the warmest in town and glitters in the evening.
- Sunsets happen over your own backyard — and in summer the rear takes the full afternoon sun, so the lanai runs hottest of any orientation from about 3pm on.
- Expect afternoon glare on rear glass, and real value in lanai screening or shade trees.
- Morning coffee happens in shade; the front of the home takes the sunrise.
Orientation per the MLS listing; sun paths are seasonal geometry for Northeast Florida, not a shade study — trees, screening, and neighboring structures change the picture on any specific lot.

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 435 current Nassau listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
