About this home
Jacksonville
Welcome to your private retreat in the gated community of Herons Walk. Situated on 2.36 acres with expansive views across the protected Nassau River marshes, this beautifully maintained home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and outdoor living. Step outside to enjoy the screened lanai complete with ceiling fans and TV, or gather around the custom paver patio and fire circle while taking in the breathtaking, seemingly endless marsh views. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the backyard setting is truly unforgettable. Inside, the open-concept floor plan is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen features a large center island, double ovens, farmhouse sink, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom pantry shelving, and a spacious walk-in pantry. High ceilings, recessed lighting, and abundant natural light create an inviting atmosphere throughout.

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.
Part of this 2.4-acre lot is in a FEMA flood zone
Zone AE covers 77% of it; the rest is Zone X (minimal) 23%. Whether a house on this lot is in the flood zone depends on where it stands: the lender's flood determination, a survey or an elevation certificate settles that.
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: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2012)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Septic system (public record) · Public water (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: ~1,730 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.
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, read at the listing’s map pin or, on lots of an acre or more, across the county parcel (state cadastral). A zone shown for part of a lot may not be where the home stands. 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 3,601 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
