About this home

Keystone Heights

Old Florida charm awaits to be restored in this classic 1950's home in the heart of Keystone Heights! Prime location just off the main street. Walking distance to all the local area shopping, recreation, and Lake Geneva's Keystone Beach! The original footprint was a 3-bedroom, 1-bath layout w/ a wood burning fireplace in the living room and an upstairs loft space. However, the home has been gutted down to the studs and floor joists and is now awaiting your perfect remodel plans. Craft your vision and bring this classic beauty back to its original splendor! Perfectly situated just 15 minutes from Starke, 30 minutes to Gainesville, or 30 minutes to Palatka. Barely over a 10-minute drive to the almost 6,000-acre Lake Santa Fe public boat ramp. A rare opportunity to reimagine and restore this blank canvas into something truly special!

Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.4% · 30yr$388
Property taxesest. at asking price, Clay County$107
Estimated total, before insurance$495/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$1,550/yr · $129/mo

This bill runs well above the county-average estimate — usually the sign of a CDD or special assessment on this home. We confirm the exact line (and whether a bond was ever prepaid) before you offer.

  • • 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.

Flood zone not yet determined

Check the exact parcel at msc.fema.gov or ask Krista to pull it.

Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.

Evacuation zone not yet determined

Check floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone.

Roof: Metal — year not disclosed (home built 1952)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Solar potential: ~1,697 usable sun-hours per year

A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.

Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.

Ask about this home

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.

Cost to own

Taxes & assessment

2025 property taxes (current owner): $1,550/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$1,300/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. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 792 current Clay listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
