As of November 2026, Barrataria Island in St. Augustine, FL has 1 home for sale. As of November 2026, the MLS records 10 closed sales in Barrataria Island in St. Augustine, FL since 2012, the most recent in July 2024. Across St. Augustine as a whole, 3,771 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $439,900, 50 median days on market, with 1,240 homes for sale today. At that median and St. Johns County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.47 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,920 ($5,410 with the full homestead exemption).
Barrataria Island is a small island setting inside St. Augustine, and on an island the land and the position tend to set price more than any list of finishes. Waterfront orientation, elevation, and lot exposure move value here in ways that a comparable inland home never has to reckon with. Expect a wide spread between homes rather than a tight, predictable band.
For a buyer, the work is in reading each property on its own terms — the water access, the condition, the flood and insurance picture — because no two lots on an island carry the same risk. For a seller, that same variability means pricing has to be argued from the specific home, not from a neighborhood average. We build both sides of that case from the actual property, not a blanket number.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Best for
- Buyers prioritizing waterfront or water-access living who will underwrite the carrying costs

Probably not for
- Buyers who want a large inventory of directly comparable homes to price against
- Budgets that cannot absorb variable flood-insurance and island carrying costs
- Buyers seeking a quick, low-diligence purchase with minimal property-level research

The Barrataria Island buying strategy.
If we were buying in Barrataria Island today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Barrataria Island.
Buying the lot, not just the house
On an island, the fundamentals you cannot renovate — water frontage, orientation, elevation — drive the conversation. A dated interior can be fixed; a poor lot position cannot. That reality tends to produce a broad range of prices across a compact area, so comparing two homes by price alone will mislead you.
The practical due diligence here is heavier than most St. Augustine neighborhoods: flood zone designation, insurance cost and availability, access, and how each parcel sits relative to the water. Get those answers in writing before you fall for a view, and the rest of the decision gets a lot cleaner.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Barrataria Island. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
