About this home
Colony Cove
A rare riverfront masterpiece, 4000 Townsend Blvd offers an extraordinary private estate on 1.5 acres with 140 feet of St. Johns River frontage. Nestled behind Pauline Island, this protected waterfront setting offers approximately 4 feet of water at all tides, a shorter, less exposed dock, and an elevated homesite. Majestic oaks, breathtaking river views, and nearly 80 windows create a light-filled sanctuary just minutes from city conveniences. Unique architecture, custom design, and exceptional renovations define every space, including a spectacular chef's kitchen with premium appliances. The upper level is devoted to a luxurious primary retreat featuring panoramic river views and a spa-inspired bath. A boater's paradise with access to Mill Cove, Sisters Creek, Fort George Inlet, Mayport Jetties, and the Intracoastal Waterway, this exceptional property offers an unparalleled blend of privacy, elegance, and waterfront adventure.

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.
The house sits in FEMA Zone X (minimal flood hazard)
Zone AE covers 16% of this 1.6-acre lot, away from the house; the rest is Zone X (shaded, 0.2% chance) 4% and Zone X (minimal) 81%. The house's position comes from its roof outline in Google's aerial imagery, read against FEMA's map. The lender's flood determination, a survey or an elevation certificate makes it official.
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
This lot spans hurricane evacuation zones: mostly zone A (75%)
The rest is outside every evacuation zone (25%). Evacuation orders go by zone; check the house's own address at floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone.
Roof: Shingle — year not disclosed (home built 1948)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Solar potential: ~1,443 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 November 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): $11,023/yr
Estimated taxes if purchased at asking price: ~$27,300/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.
