About this home
Ponte Vedra Beach
Rarely does a home in the coveted Lake Julia section of Sawgrass Country Club come along, and this four-bedroom, four-bathroom stunner is worth the wait. Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac lot with expansive water-to-golf views, it sits just a short hop from the beach in one of Ponte Vedra's most treasured enclaves -- a place so lush with wildlife it feels like your own private bird sanctuary. Outdoor living takes center stage here, with three pavered patios, a charming courtyard entry, and an inviting side patio made for grilling out or savoring your morning coffee. The upstairs rear bedroom even opens to a balcony boasting spectacular views. Inside, a complete 2009 renovation left nothing untouched: upgraded electrical and plumbing, a 2018 roof, newer heating and cooling, low-maintenance cementious siding, and a tankless gas water heater. The kitchen dazzles with Sub-Zero, Viking gas cooktop, Miele, and Thermador refrigerator drawers. Engineered hardwood floors, solar tubes for extra

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).

Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $19,841/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$27,600/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 1,595 current St. Johns 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 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.
Hurricane evacuation zone A
Zone A evacuates first in a storm — typically coastal and surge-prone areas.
Roof: Shingle — 2018 per the listing
A recent roof is the single biggest lever on Florida homeowners-insurance pricing.
Sewer · St Johns County Utilities - accounts · Public water · St Johns County Utilities - water accounts
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by St Johns County Utilities - accounts — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Solar potential: ~1,727 usable sun-hours per year
A strong solar roof by Florida standards — worth pricing panels if energy bills matter to you.

Ask about this homeAs 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.
