About this home
Melrose
Welcome to lakefront living on beautiful 5,850-acre Lake Santa Fe, a connected lake system including both Big and Little Lake Santa Fe and recognized as one of North Florida's premier all-sports lakes. Situated on a coveted 100-foot lakefront lot in the sought-after Pumpkin Patch neighborhood, this renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers approximately 2,762 square feet of living space and 3,364 under roof on a serene peninsula setting. Originally built in 1980 and thoughtfully updated, the home features spacious living areas, abundant natural light, and large picture windows showcasing breathtaking sunset views across the water from both the main living spaces and bedrooms. Step outside to enjoy true waterfront living--perfect for boating, fishing, skiing, or simply relaxing at the end of the day as the sun sets over the lake. Opportunities to own in this desirable Lake Santa Fe community are rare. Experience the lakefront lifestyle from your own backyard.
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 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.
Outside all hurricane evacuation zones
This location is not in a designated storm-surge evacuation zone.
Roof: Metal — year not disclosed (home built 1980)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Septic system (public record) · Private well (public record)
County records indicate an onsite septic system — budget a septic inspection before closing (typically $300–$500) and expect pump-outs every 3–5 years.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,337 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.

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.
