About this home
Plantation Estates
Welcome home this waterfront, pool home estate in Plantation Estates, the most desirable community is all of Julington Creek Plantation. Tucked ''behind the gate'', this home has it all. From a gas heated spa to a paver pool with summer kitchen overlooking the lake to a luxury kitchen to an amazing upstairs with 2 bedrooms and separate game room with kitchenette! The exterior and most of the interior were just painted! There's a brand new roof, installed August 2025. The entry is open and inviting. 12' ceilings throughout the living area, 10' ceilings in the bedrooms and 8' doors downstairs bring in natural light and add to the grandeur. The coffered ceiling in the formal living room adds additional height to the space. Moving into the family room/kitchen area, the home flows effortlessly with wood flooring throughout. The kitchen is updated and upgraded with quartz countertops, induction cooktop, and double ovens. Tray ceilings in the eat-in and family room

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.
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: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2013)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,476 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 homeThis 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
2025 property taxes (current owner): $11,354/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$15,500/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 1,595 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
