Murabella Homes for Sale in St. Augustine, FL

As of 2026, Murabella homes generally run from the $400s into the $900s, with most in the $500s to $600s and an average around $216 per square foot. The community averages roughly 81 sales a year, about a ten percent annual turnover, so inventory is steady without being overwhelming, and a buyer usually has several homes to choose among across price points.

In a resale market, condition and lot drive price more than the headline number. A updated home with newer systems on a lake-view lot will command a premium over a dated home on an interior lot, even at similar square footage. The schools and amenities are priced into every listing, so the differentiators are the house and the lot, which is exactly where buyers overpay or underbuy without representation, since the listing agent works to get the seller the highest price.

Murabella also competes with the other World Golf Village-area communities, from Bannon Lakes to Markland to the established WGV neighborhoods. A smart buyer shops it against those on price per foot, lot, amenities, and CDD rather than the name alone. An agent who pulls the true comparable sales, not the list prices, is the difference between a confident offer and an overpay.

Murabella was built by many builders over its 2005-to-2014 build-out, including Lennar, Standard Pacific (later CalAtlantic and now part of Lennar), Cornerstone Homes, Toll Brothers, D.R. Horton, Dream Finders, Richmond American, and Southern Lifestyle Homes. That diversity gives the community a varied look and means resale homes differ widely in style, layout, and finish, so knowing which builder built a given home helps a buyer judge construction and value.

Homesites range from 65 to 85 feet wide, with homes from roughly 1,500 square feet to over 4,400, many on lots with lake views or backing to green space. The range lets Murabella serve first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and empty nesters within one community, which is part of its enduring appeal.

As a built-out community, Murabella is a resale market, and condition, updates, and lot position drive value. A home with a renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a lake-view or premium lot commands a real premium over a dated home on an interior lot nearby, so the house and the lot, not just the community name, are where a buyer wins or overpays.

Murabella's amenities are a standout for an established community. The centerpiece is a resort-style pool with a waterslide tower, joined by a lap pool and a zero-entry children's pool with a mushroom-spray fun zone, all at a clubhouse with an elegant terrace. The clubhouse and pool complex is the social heart of the community.

Beyond the pools, Murabella offers a fitness center, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, a basketball court, sand volleyball, a softball or baseball diamond, a soccer field, a multi-purpose sports court, and covered children's playgrounds, all tied together by miles of sidewalks, walking trails, and open green spaces. That breadth of recreation, fully built and grown in, rivals far newer communities and is a core reason buyers choose Murabella.

These amenities are funded through HOA dues and the community's CDD assessment, covered next. For most buyers the amenity package is a clear positive here, since it is complete, well-maintained, and unusually deep for the price.

Everyday shopping and dining are close, anchored by a Publix-anchored shopping center near the community and the retail along SR-16 and International Golf Parkway, with World Golf Village's dining, golf, and entertainment, including its golf courses, just up the road. Grocery and services are well established across the area.

For more, historic downtown St. Augustine, about 20 to 25 minutes southeast, offers a deep dining, shopping, and cultural scene on the water, and the St. Augustine Premium Outlets and the St. Johns Town Center provide big-box and regional shopping a drive away. The pattern is typical of the World Golf Village area: daily essentials are close, and the marquee destinations are a manageable trip in either direction.

First, in a resale community the listing agent works for the seller, not for you. Calling the number on the sign means the same agent represents both sides, which rarely serves the buyer. Your own agent represents only you, with compensation that is negotiable and set in a written buyer agreement. Have representation before you tour.

Second, the CDD bond status varies home to home in an older community like Murabella; some may be partly paid down, others not. Pull the specific CDD status for the exact home, not the community average.

Third, knowing which of the many builders built a given home helps you judge construction quality and value, since Murabella's builder mix is unusually broad.

Fourth, an established home means established systems. Roof age, HVAC age, and whether the kitchen and baths have been updated drive both price and your near-term costs, so a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build under warranty.

Fifth, confirm school zoning for the exact address with the district, since Mill Creek Academy, Pacetti Bay, and Nease serve the area but boundaries shift as the county grows.

Price the all-in monthly first. Murabella carries both an HOA and a CDD assessment on the St. Johns County tax bill, so add both to the mortgage before judging any list price, and pull the CDD balance and remaining term for the parcel.

Confirm the school assignment by address. The community is generally zoned to Mill Creek Academy, Pacetti Bay Middle, and Tocoi Creek High, but St. Johns boundaries shift as schools open, so verify current zoning.

Inspect roof, HVAC, and systems on 2000s-to-2010s homes, and check the lot for preserve, water, or interior position.

Verify internet and confirm the I-95 commute at your real departure time; the World Golf Village interchange is the main access point.

Murabella is best placed against the other amenity-driven, CDD-funded communities of the World Golf Village area and northwest St. Johns. Against the broader World Golf Village communities, Murabella offers a value-oriented amenity package and a range of home types, while WGV proper leans on its golf and resort pedigree.

Against newer SilverLeaf and the southern St. Johns master plans, Murabella is more established with mature trees and a built-out amenity center at a lower price per amenity. The honest shorthand: pick Murabella for top-rated schools and a delivered amenity package at value; pick the newer plans for the latest construction and amenities still building out.

Murabella fits buyers who want top-rated St. Johns County schools and a fully delivered amenity center at a value price, anyone who prefers an established community with mature trees over a brand-new build, and commuters who want quick I-95 access from the World Golf Village interchange.

Murabella is a weaker fit buyers who want no CDD and the lowest carrying cost, those set on brand-new construction, or anyone seeking a large custom estate or a gated luxury enclave.
