About this home
Welaka
Experience the beauty of life on the St. Johns River from this stunning waterfront retreat designed for relaxing, entertaining, and embracing the river lifestyle. Facing north toward Bird and Turkey Island, the home captures breathtaking panoramic views without harsh afternoon sun glaring into the home. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows bring the river indoors, while the expansive covered porch is perfect enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting. The private dock and covered boathouse with lift make boating, fishing, and river cruising effortless. Inside, soaring ceilings and beautiful views create a bright, open feel. The home features a bedroom on each floor plus a loft currently used as an office, offering flexibility for guests or working from home. Low-maintenance coquina siding, a metal roof, and a 30' x 26' two-car garage with additional kitchen area perfect for storing vehicles or use as a workshop. Although the kitchen is compact there is room for expansion.
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 AE — 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 A
Zone A evacuates first in a storm — typically coastal and surge-prone areas.
Roof: material not specified — year not disclosed (home built 1992)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer · FLA011705 - Welaka WWTF · Public water (record)
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by FLA011705 - Welaka WWTF — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,716 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.

Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $2,986/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. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.
