About this home

Orange Park

Beautiful brick home available in Nature's Hammock, ready to welcome my next owners! With 3,278 square feet of living space, I offer 5 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a dedicated office with a walk-in closet/6th bedroom, and a versatile bonus room. I am situated on one of the largest cul-de-sac lots in the neighborhood, with a peaceful nature preserve out back, providing exceptional privacy and breathtaking sunset views. For added peace of mind, I also feature a new roof and water heater installed in May 2026. As my new owner, you'll enjoy all that the Oakleaf community has to offer, including resort-style pools, a water park, fitness center, pickleball courts, playgrounds, recreation areas, access to ''A''-rated schools, restaurants, and shopping. Making this an exceptional place to call home. Come experience everything I have to offer and imagine making me your own! Sellers are motivated and will consider all reasonable offers.

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$2,819
Property taxesest. at asking price, Clay County$809
HOAbilled annually$7
Estimated total, before insurance$3,635/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$2,553/yr · $213/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).

*30-year loan at 7.03% APR (avg 30-yr rate 2026-09-24, Freddie Mac PMMS via FRED). Taxes use the county effective rate; insurance is a rough estimate — Florida premiums swing with roof age and flood zone (see the Reality Check). Actual costs may vary.

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: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2004)

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

Sewer (public record) · Public water · Clay County Utilities

County records show this parcel on central sewer — no septic system to inspect or maintain.

Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).

Solar potential: ~1,798 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.

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$9,700/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 792 current Clay listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
