About this home
Palmetto Cove
Now priced $35k below recent appraised value! A rare find in Palmetto Cove, one of Nocatee's boutique neighborhoods with only about 61 homes! This like-new Dostie Grand Acadia sits on a deep .37-acre cul-de-sac lot and offers the space, flexibility, and upgrades buyers are always hoping to find. With 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, an office, flex space, and 3,601 sq ft, the layout works beautifully for multigenerational living, guests, teens, or everyday life. The expanded cabana suite is the standout, featuring a built-in counter that functions as a mini kitchen/wet bar, creating the perfect private-yet-connected retreat. Inside, every detail feels elevated: hardwood flooring, upgraded lighting, fireplace with built-ins, custom wet bar, and a stunning kitchen with level 4 quartz, waterfall island, and Wolf appliances. The flex room with built-in desks keeps life organized, while the spa-like primary bath with freestanding soaking tub feels like a daily escape.

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.

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.
Hurricane evacuation zone D
Zone D evacuates after zones A, B, C in an approaching storm.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2023)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,568 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 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.

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.
