About this home
Orange Park
Wake up to sunrises each morning on the St. Johns River! This custom-built modern farmhouse is designed to embrace the beauty of waterfront living. Situated on deep water with a private dock, boat lift and Jet Ski lift, this exceptional property offers endless days on the river. Walls of glass stretch across the back of the home, filling the open living spaces with natural light while showcasing panoramic river views. The thoughtfully designed floor plan features 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a private office overlooking the water, and an upstairs bonus room with its own balcony. Hand-scraped hardwood floors, a covered lanai with fireplace, relaxing spool, paid-off solar panels, and a spacious 3-car garage complete the home. Framed by majestic oak trees, this is more than a home--it's a riverfront lifestyle where every day feels like you are living on vacation! Completing the property is an expansive covered RV storage area, offering the perfect space for all your recreational adventures!
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 X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Read at the listing’s map pin. On a lot this size the zone can change across the property, and the pin may not be where the house stands.
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 2018)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer · FL0023922 · Public water (record)
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by FL0023922 — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,277 usable sun-hours per year
Moderate solar exposure — shade or roof orientation limits panel output here.
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
As of August 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.

Not from the MLS. Places from FWC, FDEP, the water districts, the counties and the cities; stores from state food permits and each chain’s store list. Distances are straight-line from this home unless a drive time is shown. Fees, hours and access change, so check the agency’s page before you go.
Sun & Light
West-facing backyard — the sunset lot
The listing reports the home facing east, which puts the backyard on the west side. Today at this address: sunrise 6:50 AM, sunset 5:32 PM.
- Sunsets happen over your own backyard — and in summer the rear takes the full afternoon sun, so the lanai runs hottest of any orientation from about 3pm on.
- Expect afternoon glare on rear glass, and real value in lanai screening or shade trees.
- Morning coffee happens in shade; the front of the home takes the sunrise.
Orientation per the MLS listing; sun paths are seasonal geometry for Northeast Florida, not a shade study — trees, screening, and neighboring structures change the picture on any specific lot.

Taxes & assessment
| Year | Market value | Taxable value | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $1,283,588 | $695,541 | — |
2025 property taxes (current owner): $12,536/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$27,900/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 901 current Clay listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
