About this lot
Jacksonville
RIVERFRONT LEGACY • EXCEPTIONAL HOMESITE One of the most compelling riverfront opportunities in this established Jacksonville neighborhood, this lushly landscaped one-acre property offers approximately 125' of St. Johns River frontage, a bulkhead and existing dock. Priced at land value, the existing home conveys AS IS and is considered to have no contributory value. The true opportunity is to create a magnificent estate overlooking the river, with ample room for a pool, sport court and beautifully designed outdoor spaces. Enjoy expansive river views, spectacular sunsets and a coveted north-facing perspective toward the Downtown skyline. Every other year, the Blue Angels provide a front-row show from your own backyard. The dock awaits your vision—perfect for boating, fishing or simply enjoying life on the river; cast a net and bring in your own shrimp. Conveniently located less than 10 minutes from major shopping and top restaurants. PRICED AT LAND VALUE.

Cost to own
Carrying cost
What holding this lot costs per month at the asking price. Land loans run on different terms than a home mortgage, so the payment is left out; ask for current lot-loan terms.
- • 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).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Hurricane evacuation zone C
Zone C evacuates after zones A, B in an approaching storm.
Sewer records conflict — verify
The MLS lists “Public Sewer”, while Florida DOH records suggest an onsite septic system. Don’t rely on either — confirm the actual system, and if septic is possible, budget an inspection, before you offer.
Sources: MLS listing + Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeAs of October 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.

Taxes & assessment
2025 property taxes (current owner): $27,201/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$44,100/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 3,305 current Duval listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
