About this home

Green Cove Springs

TURNKEY INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN GROWING GREEN COVE SPRINGS! Don't miss this opportunity to own a newer-construction, income-producing duplex in one of Northeast Florida's growing communities! Built in 2021, this well-maintained property features two spacious units, each offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a private 1-car garage. Both units are fully leased, generating $39,600 in annual gross rental income, providing investors with immediate cash flow from day one! Located in the heart of Green Cove Springs, this property is positioned to benefit from the continued residential and commercial growth throughout Clay County. The area's expanding housing developments, improving transportation infrastructure, and proximity to Jacksonville make Green Cove Springs an attractive location for residents seeking affordability, convenience, and small-town charm.

Cost to own

True monthly cost

What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.

Principal & interest20% down · 7.24% · 30yr$2,508
Property taxesest. at asking price, Clay County$705
Estimated total, before insurance$3,213/mo
Seller’s 2025 tax billper the MLS — includes any CDD / assessments$4,794/yr · $400/mo
  • • 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).

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 2021)

Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.

Solar potential: ~1,639 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.

As 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, 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.

Taxes & assessment

2025 property taxes (current owner): $4,794/yr

Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$8,500/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.
