About this home

East Palatka

Whether you're retiring in style, raising a family, or simply love a quiet, peaceful, Florida lifestyle, this beautifully renovated, modern, ranch style home in East Palatka delivers it all-a stunning resort-style pool, quick access to St. John's River, and room for your boat or RV. Set on a lovely Old Florida, river peninsula, the home also boasts a large, modern, farmhouse kitchen featuring high-end LG appliances and shaker cabinetry. The oversized master suite includes an updated bath, office area, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the home. Outside features a fully wired workshop and garage with 30-amp RV/boat service, potting shed, storage shed, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, and a magnificent oak tree all on 3/4 of an acre. Property is less than 5 minutes from the public boat ramp, and 30 minutes from historic Saint Augustine and beaches.

Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.03% · 30yr$2,509
Estimated total, before insurance$2,509/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$3,553/yr · $296/mo
  • • 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 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.

Hurricane evacuation zone C

Zone C evacuates after zones A, B in an approaching storm.

Roof: material not specified — year not disclosed (home built 1963)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Likely septic · 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: ~1,667 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 home

As 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): $3,553/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.
