FAQ
100 Waterway Avenue, Satsuma, Florida 32189
Is this property in a flood zone?
Yes, it is in an AE flood zone, which is typical for canal-front homes in Satsuma. The home sits on a good elevation with solid drainage on the 0.68-acre lot. I provide the latest elevation certificate and can connect you with insurance specialists who work with canal-front properties to help keep premiums reasonable.
What size boat can I keep at the dock and boathouse?
The covered boathouse with lift can accommodate boats up to approximately 24–26 feet (depending on beam and height). The private dock on the canal gives you quick access to Dunns Creek, Lake Crescent, and the St. Johns River. I’m happy to help you confirm fit for your specific boat.
Are there any HOA fees?
No HOA fees. This property is on Metes & Bounds land, so you have full freedom without monthly or annual association dues.
Is the home move-in ready?
Yes, the home is in good, livable condition and very affordable. It features a screened back porch, wood-burning fireplace, and a functional layout that’s easy to personalize. Many buyers choose to add cosmetic updates while enjoying the waterfront lifestyle right away.
Can I have pets here?
Absolutely! The large 0.68-acre corner lot includes a fenced area that’s perfect for dogs. Lil’ Dottie (my two-year-old Maltese sidekick and the official Top Dog Realtor of Putnam County) already gave the backyard her highest paw of approval.
How easy is it to access the St. Johns River?
Very easy. The canal connects directly to Dunns Creek, which flows into Lake Crescent and the main St. Johns River. You can be on the open river in minutes for fishing, boating, or exploring.
What about dock and boathouse maintenance?
The dock needs a little TLC (as noted in the listing), but the covered boathouse with lift is solid. I work with trusted local marine contractors who specialize in Satsuma canal properties and can give you a full maintenance plan and cost estimates.
