What to know about this home
- At $2,695,000 ($692/sqft), this home appears within the range of recent comparable Tarpon Boulevard sales, which ran from roughly $510 to $892/sqft, so pricing looks reasonable but is on the higher end of the mid-range comps.
- It sits in FEMA Flood Zone AE, a Special Flood Hazard Area, which means flood insurance is required with any federally backed mortgage and will be an ongoing cost to factor in.
- Property taxes on record are $18,517/year; if you occupy it as a primary residence and qualify for SC's 4% assessment ratio, that could drop to an estimated $13,475/year — but confirm with a tax professional.
- Six bedrooms and direct waterfront with beach, ocean, and creek views on an 80x200 lot gives it strong rental or multi-family-use potential, though rental income figures are not in the data provided.
- The home has only been on market 17 days, so there is no long-DOM red flag here.
- For military buyers, Parris Island is about 11 miles out and MCAS Beaufort about 18 miles — workable commutes, though at this price point VA loan limits and funding fees are worth a close look with your lender.

This home sits in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so flood insurance is required with a mortgage (a fact, from the FEMA zone). The $65–$300/mo above is a rough planning range, not a quote — premiums are now priced per-property. Get an exact flood quote.
This is an estimate for planning only — not a loan quote or commitment to lend. Assumes a $2,695,000 price, 20% down, 6.47% rate over 30 years, and SC owner-occupied 4% + school exemption property tax. It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. For reference, the current tax on record (MLS) is about $18,517/yr — that reflects the present owner's assessment, which may differ from yours. Confirm every figure with a licensed lender.
