About this home
Shearwater
CDD Bond Portion is Paid Off! Enjoy lower annual ownership costs in this exceptional single story MasterCraft-built home offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, bonus/flex/office space, and nearly 3,000 square feet! Located on a preserve lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this home is just a short walk to Shearwater's award-winning amenities. Who needs a huge backyard in Florida? If your idea of enjoying the outdoors is preferably from the safe side of a screen, you're going to love this home. The extended covered and screened lanai lets you enjoy the sunshine, greenery and peaceful preserve views without sweating through your clothes, battling the pollen, donating blood to the mosquitoes or wondering if that rustle in the grass has legs--or worse, no legs! And because the backyard borders a preserve, you get something a larger yard can't always provide: privacy, peaceful views and no neighbors directly behind you. The smaller, easy-to-maintain yard means less mowing and maintenance

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.

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 2017)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,719 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.
