About this home
St. Augustine
A rare St. Augustine retreat where privacy, space, and freedom come together on 2.14 acres with NO HOA! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Fort Peyton Forest, this distinctive 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the kind of lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find--room to breathe, room to play, and room for all the things you love. From the moment you arrive, the mature trees, peaceful surroundings, and expansive setting create an immediate sense of privacy. Inside, abundant natural light, vaulted ceilings, warm wood accents, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace create an inviting atmosphere that feels both spacious and comfortable. The thoughtfully designed kitchen offers generous cabinetry and counter space, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The oversized primary suite provides a private escape with an updated bath featuring dual vanities and a large walk-in shower.

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 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 B
Zone B evacuates after zone A in an approaching storm.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 1993)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer records conflict — verify
The MLS lists “Septic Tank”, while Florida DOH records suggest central sewer. Don’t rely on either — confirm the actual system, and if septic is possible, budget an inspection, before you offer. Municipal drinking water per the county inventory.
Sources: MLS listing + Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,706 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.
