Located at the end of a cul-de-sac on 6 acres with stunning marsh and Intracoastal views, along with southern exposure, sits this Mediterranean style concrete block home with three bedrooms, three full bath and 3,842 square feet of heat and cool space. The architecture on this property is one to see with wonderful angles in all rooms and no wasted space to be found. Upon walking through the custom arched wooden front door, you are greeted by fantastic views an inviting living room with gas fireplace and high ceilings. On one side of the house is the master bedroom suite that is spacious in size and has beautiful wood beam ceilings and a separate office/library with built-ins and privacy. There is a lovely kitchen with exceptional large island and plenty of custom cabinetry, a500+ bottle wine cellar, sunroom to lounge the days away and enjoy the views, and one of the guest suites are upstairs giving your guest privacy with their own living room and balcony access. Every day you will find a multitude of birds that linger in the tidal lake straight out back prior to the deer arriving to wish you a good evening. Peace and serenity abound! A property like this doesn't come on the market very often so if you are looking for something different, one that your friends are sure to envy, this is the one! Located in the gated community of Marsh Creek where club membership is optional. 5-minute drive to the beach, local restaurants and shops. Historic downtown, the St. Augustine Amphitheater, Anastasia State Park and the Lighthouse are also less than 10 minutes away.

Florida Reality Check: Storms, Taxes & Infrastructure
Every Florida buyer needs an honest due-diligence pass before making an offer. These are the practical checks to review for 188 HERONS NEST Lane, St. Augustine, FL 32080.
Flood Zone & Insurance
Verify the FEMA flood zone, elevation, roof age, 4-point items, and wind mitigation credits before relying on the listing price as the true monthly cost.
Roof, Structure & Systems
St. Johns County due diligence should include CDD/HOA review, insurance and flood checks, roof or builder warranty status, and commute assumptions.
Taxes, CDD & HOA
Florida property taxes can reset after purchase. Confirm homestead assumptions, association dues, CDD assessments, special assessments, and municipal boundaries.
Title, Survey & Escrow
Use a strong closing team to check title defects, liens, boundary issues, unpermitted work, probate issues, and wire-fraud procedures before closing.
