The Complete Stonehurst Plantation Guide. (2026)

Executive Summary

Stonehurst Plantation is an established single-family community of about 500 homes in north St. Johns County, built from roughly 2002 to 2006 on Stonehurst Parkway near the CR-210 corridor. It pairs a full amenity set with two structural advantages: NO CDD debt and low HOA dues.

The community offers a wide range of homes, from about 1,300 to over 3,500 square feet, around lakes, preserve, and a central amenity campus with a pool, ball fields, courts, and playgrounds. The top-rated St. Johns schools complete the family case.

For pricing context, third-party portals in early 2026 showed asking prices roughly from the high $300s to the mid $500s, with the average near $450K. Prices move, so a specific home should be priced off recent comparable sales.

Quick Facts

Community Overview & History

The no-CDD value play on the CR-210 corridor

North St. Johns County is one of the most in-demand family markets in Florida, anchored by its schools and the CR-210 corridor between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Stonehurst Plantation is one of the value plays here: an established community where buyers get the schools and a full amenity set without CDD debt on top of the tax bill.

How it feels on the ground today

Stonehurst Plantation reads as a settled, family-oriented community with mature landscaping, lakes, and a busy amenity campus. The pool, the ball fields, the playgrounds, and the low carrying costs are the headline draws, and the homes trade as both updated and original.

The Community and What You Are Buying

Stonehurst Plantation is a single-family community, so the choice comes down to the floor plan, the lot, and the level of updating.

Floor plan

Plans run from about 1,300 to over 3,500 square feet, so the community serves first-time buyers through move-up families.

Lake and preserve lots

Lake and preserve lots carry a premium for the view and privacy.

Updated versus original

Homes built 2002 to 2006 trade as both updated and original, so condition and big systems are major price factors.

Real Estate Market

Stonehurst Plantation appeals to families who want the St. Johns schools and real amenities without CDD debt, which keeps demand steady.

Third-party portals in early 2026 showed asking prices roughly from the high $300s to the mid $500s with the average near $450K. Treat that as context, not gospel.

Prices are set by the plan, the lot, the condition, and the updates. A specific home should be priced from the closest comparable sales.

Who Lives Here

Stonehurst Plantation draws families who want the top-rated St. Johns schools, a pool and ball fields, and low carrying costs, plus value shoppers who want the CR-210 corridor without CDD debt.

Schools

Stonehurst Plantation is served by the top-rated St. Johns County School District, with attendance zones by home address. Area homes have been zoned for Timberlin Creek Elementary, Switzerland Point Middle, and Beachside High, but zones change, so confirm the exact zoning for a Stonehurst Plantation address before you buy.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Stonehurst Plantation runs a full amenity campus funded by low HOA dues, with no CDD on top.

Pool and kiddie pool

A lap pool and a kiddie pool anchor the amenity campus, with a covered pavilion and kitchen area.

Courts and fields

Lighted basketball, volleyball, a ball diamond, and soccer fields cover most sports.

Playgrounds

Several playgrounds are scattered through the community.

Lakes and preserve

Lakes and preserve edges add views and a buffer.

HOA, CDD & Costs

Stonehurst Plantation has NO CDD, and the HOA dues are low for the amenity set, recently around $70 per month billed quarterly. Confirm the current dues and inclusions for a specific home.

Management changed to RealManage in late 2025, so confirm the current contacts, rules, and any assessments before you write an offer.

Pull the flood designation for the specific address and a current insurance quote, since lake lots can vary.

Commute Analysis

Stonehurst Plantation sits between Jacksonville and St. Augustine off the CR-210 corridor, so commuters reach the Southside in well under half an hour while keeping the St. Johns schools and a lower-cost tax bill.

Shopping & Dining

Everyday shopping and dining are minutes away along CR-210 and at Durbin Park, one of the largest retail developments in the region, with historic St. Augustine about half an hour south for weekends.

Pros and Cons

Stonehurst Plantation vs. Comparable Communities

Hidden Things Buyers Should Know

The carrying-cost math

NO CDD plus low HOA dues means the monthly cost of a Stonehurst home often beats a same-priced home in a CDD community by a meaningful margin. Run the full tax bill comparison.

Management transition

The HOA moved to RealManage in late 2025, so confirm current rules, dues, and any planned assessments.

Vintage systems

2002 to 2006 homes are at roof and HVAC replacement age. Price the home off what has been replaced.

Momentum Expert Insight

Selling a Home in Stonehurst Plantation

Selling in Stonehurst Plantation is about presenting the no-CDD advantage, the amenity campus, and the schools to families, and pricing correctly off the closest comparable sales.

We price from the most recent comparable homes, account for the lot and condition, and market the carrying-cost advantage to the buyers who shop the CR-210 corridor.

Flood Zones & Insurance

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 Stonehurst Plantation 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.

Internet & Connectivity

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 Stonehurst Plantation address rather than assuming.

The Tax Reality

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.

What Your Budget Buys Here

The same budget buys very different homes across Stonehurst Plantation and the surrounding area, depending on age, size, lot, and condition. Rather than anchor on the asking price or the neighborhood average, price any specific home off the most recent comparable sales, and weigh what your money would buy in the nearby alternatives before you commit.

The Future of the Area

St. Johns County continues to grow, with new rooftops, retail, and road work reshaping parts of the area. That growth supports long-run demand, but it can also add competing inventory and construction traffic in the near term, so factor both the upside and the disruption into your timing and your pricing.

Resale Liquidity

How quickly a Stonehurst Plantation home resells comes down to presentation, condition, and pricing against the latest comparable sales rather than the neighborhood average. Homes that are priced correctly and shown well tend to move, while overpriced or dated homes sit. We track the active and sold comparable set so a Stonehurst Plantation home is priced to the real market.

The Stonehurst Plantation Playbook

If you are buying in Stonehurst Plantation, here is how we would approach it: pull the flood zone and a real insurance quote for the specific address, confirm the HOA dues and whether a CDD applies, compare what your budget would buy nearby, and price the home off the closest comparable sales rather than the asking price. If you are buying any new-construction home, bring your own agent before you register, since the on-site representative works for the builder, not for you.

Questions We Would Ask Before Buying Here

Mistakes to Avoid

The common ones around Stonehurst Plantation: trusting the seller current tax bill instead of the post-sale reset; skipping the address-specific flood check; assuming fiber is at every home; and pricing off the neighborhood average rather than the closest comparable sales. Each is avoidable with the right diligence, which is exactly where having your own agent pays off.
