Property tax (first-year est.)
~$3,609/yr

No CDD assessment appears in our records for this community. CDD assessments show on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector.
Insurance (illustrative range)
$1k–$2k/yr
An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood zone not verified for this address — check msc.fema.gov and confirm coverage. Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.

How it stacks up
Comparable recent sales
No closed sales of a similar home within about 10 miles in Hernando County in the last 18 months are in our MLS data set, so this page shows no comparable-sales median or automated estimate for BENTON HILLS. A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis on request.
The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Hernando County in the last 18 months. None qualify for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Want a property-specific value review? A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a free comparative market analysis using the home, the lot, its condition, and the live market.
Methodology: the range would be 1,840 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated September 30, 2026.

Jul 2026 · Infrastructure
Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport receives $13.6 million federal grant
The Brooksville-Tampa Bay Regional Airport received a $13.6 million federal grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration for roads, drainage, utilities, electrical service, and converting an unused 5,000-foot runway into a modern taxiway. The work will prepare about 600 acres of airport land for aviation and aerospace company development.
Why it matters: Airport infrastructure funding readies roughly 600 acres for aviation and aerospace facilities, strengthening the area industrial and employment base. The project is about 6 miles south of Zz Stellar Hernando Unassigned, elsewhere in Hernando County.
Board approves height allowance increase at One Hernando Center
The Hernando County Commission unanimously approved raising the maximum building height from 60 feet to 85 feet for One Hernando Center, a 146-acre industrial distribution development east of Kettering Road in Brooksville. The added height accommodates automated storage and retrieval systems for uses such as cold storage and manufacturing.
Why it matters: A 146-acre industrial distribution park advances with taller warehouse capacity, adding to the area logistics and manufacturing footprint. The site is less than a mile southeast of Zz Stellar Hernando Unassigned.
The Hernando County Board voted 4-0 on June 23 to approve two prototype fire station designs, a 3-bay and a 4-bay configuration, by KMF Architects at a Phase 1 design cost of about $296,902. The reusable prototypes are intended to speed and standardize future fire station construction countywide.
Why it matters: Standardized fire station prototypes aim to expedite future public safety facility construction across the county, supporting emergency service infrastructure as growth continues. The site is about 5 miles southeast of Zz Stellar Hernando Unassigned.
Hernando School Board signs off on two large housing developments
On June 9 the Hernando County School Board approved school concurrency for two subdivisions between I-75 and Lockhart Road: Black Jack Ridge with up to 978 houses and Ginny Grove with up to 907 units. The board determined area schools have sufficient capacity to accommodate the new developments.
Why it matters: Two large residential subdivisions totaling roughly 1,885 homes are cleared to advance in the I-75 corridor, expanding the local housing supply pipeline. The project is about 8 miles southeast of Zz Stellar Hernando Unassigned, elsewhere in Hernando County.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 31356 Malbec Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 31356 Malbec Drive was built in 2026 and has 1,840 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 31356 Malbec Drive in?
31356 Malbec Drive is in Benton Hills in Brooksville, Hernando County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 31356 Malbec Drive have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $21 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 31356 Malbec Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $3,609 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 31356 Malbec Drive in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
