King
& Bear Homes for Sale in St. Augustine, FL

The King & Bear sits at the luxury, gated-golf end of the World Golf Village market. Homes trade across a wide band, with many listings from the upper hundreds of thousands into the seven figures depending on the home, the finishes, and the golf or water view. Because homes are custom and semi-custom and homesites vary across fourteen neighborhoods, pricing is individual, and the prestige of the course supports demand.

For context, Momentum tracks the wider Jacksonville metro at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio and 64 days on market for our agents, against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent and 72 days, year to date. At the luxury golf end, pricing to the specific home and homesite is essential.

In The King & Bear, the homesite and its view define the home.

Homes fronting the King & Bear course carry the community's strongest premiums and views.

Lots on the lakes and preserves offer privacy and natural views among the pines and oaks.

Upscale single-family homes with luxury finishes, varied in size and style across the neighborhoods.

The King & Bear pairs championship golf with full World Golf Village amenities.

The King & Bear and the nearby Slammer & Squire give residents two championship courses among the lakes and pines.

A Swim & Tennis Center offers pools, tennis, a clubhouse, a fitness facility, and a lifestyle director coordinating events.

The Renaissance Resort, dining, shops, and the wider World Golf Village are all within the Village.

World Golf Village offers on-site dining and shops, with restaurants like Murray Bros. Caddyshack, and historic St. Augustine's restaurants and shops a short drive. Everyday shopping is close along the I-95 corridor.

Living among the courses is not the same as a membership. Confirm the current resident, play, and membership terms before you assume access.

Golf-course and lake frontage carry the strongest premiums. Understand what the lot and the view add versus an interior home.

Each home is custom or semi-custom, so comps are less uniform. An agent who knows the community will price it correctly.

St. Johns County flooding concentrates near the Intracoastal, the coast, and the creeks and marshes, while many inland master-planned communities sit in lower-risk zones.

The reliable move is to pull the FEMA flood designation for the exact The King and Bear address before you write an offer, since two homes in the same area can fall in different zones. A home in Zone X can cost far less to insure than one near water in Zone AE. Get a bindable flood and homeowners quote during your inspection period, so the cost is in your monthly math before you commit, not after.

St. Johns County is well served by AT&T (fiber in most newer communities) and Xfinity (Comcast), though fiber availability still varies by street. If working from home matters, confirm the options, and fiber in particular, at the specific The King and Bear address rather than assuming.

St. Johns County total millage varies by district, and CDD assessments are common in the master-planned communities, which adds to the all-in cost on top of the millage. The Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is 51,411 dollars for those who qualify, and the deadline to file a new homestead exemption is March 1.

The trap to plan for is the post-sale reset: when you buy, the Save Our Homes cap from the previous owner ends and the assessed value resets to the new just value, so your second-year tax bill is often higher than the seller current one. Budget the true number, and confirm whether the specific home carries a CDD or other assessment that is billed separately from the millage and is not reduced by the homestead exemption.

The King & Bear sits near the top of the World Golf Village gated-golf market, and the honest comparison is against the other St. Johns golf communities, each with a different trade-off. Against St. Johns Golf & Country Club nearby, The King & Bear trades a more attainable resale price for the prestige of the only Palmer-and-Nicklaus co-designed course and the resort amenities of World Golf Village. Against the established Marsh Creek and Palencia clubs closer to the coast, it gives up the saltwater-and-marsh setting and a private country-club structure but asks less for a comparable gated golf home and keeps the I-95 access. And against the newer master plans like Silverleaf and Shearwater, The King & Bear trades brand-new construction and big amenity centers for a built-out, golf-anchored enclave with mature trees and a marquee course. The honest summary: The King & Bear wins on golf pedigree and the Village amenities, and gives ground on coastal setting and new-build convenience to the peers above.

The King & Bear fits the move-up and luxury buyer who wants a gated golf home on a custom or semi-custom homesite, the golfer who wants to live among a Palmer-and-Nicklaus course and a second championship layout, and the buyer who values top-rated St. Johns County schools and quick I-95 access to St. Augustine, the beaches, and Jacksonville. It fits the buyer who will read the homesite premium and the golf terms honestly. It does not fit the buyer who wants an attainable price point, the buyer who needs a coastal or Intracoastal setting, the buyer who wants brand-new construction with a builder warranty, or the buyer who wants the lowest possible carrying cost with no golf and no CDD. For those, the coastal clubs or the newer master plans are the better targets; for The King & Bear, the value is the golf pedigree, the gate, and the Village.
