About this home

Middleburg

Discover the possibilities with this unique 17.5-acre private retreat offering seclusion and lots of potential. Whether you're looking for a peaceful country lifestyle, a multigenerational property, or a place to create your dream homestead, this property is worth a look. It features two homes, including a custom 2,824-square-foot, single-story, four-bedroom, two-bath home that is partially constructed and ready for you to complete to your own preferences. This home is built on a four-foot stem wall foundation, with the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC ducting systems mostly completed and the drywall approximately 70% finished. The second home is a livable 1,519-square-foot residence, allowing you to live on-site while completing the main home. The small home would be considered a tear down after the completion of the main home. Additional improvements include a detached 720-square-foot garage, one well, and two septic systems.

• 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).

Taxes & assessment

2025 property taxes (current owner): $3,864/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$11,000/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. Sources: Florida DOR certified tax roll, NEFMLS.

Storms & insurance

Florida Reality Check

The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.

Zone AE — high-risk flood zone (Special Flood Hazard Area)

Lenders require flood insurance for financed purchases here.

Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.

Hurricane evacuation zone SPBC

Check floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone for what this designation means locally.

Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 2023)

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: ~1,549 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 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 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.
