About this parcel
This 1.14 acre lot is at 10550 Beckenger Avenue in Flagler Estates, three lots in from Palatka Boulevard. Beckenger is a graded gravel road with power lines running along it. The lot is wooded with tall pines over palmetto, as the street photos on this page show.
Most of the land on this site is investment acreage that cannot be built on. This lot is a homesite. St. Johns County zones it OR, Open Rural, which allows a site built house or a mobile home. There is no homeowners association and there are no deed restrictions. Open Rural also allows farm animals and gardens, and at 1.14 acres there is room to keep boats and trailers on your own land.
Our records show no wetlands on the lot, and it lies outside the mapped flood zone. Check both yourself on the FEMA flood map and with the county before you reserve.
Power is at the road. Water would come from a well and sewer from a septic system, which is how homes in Flagler Estates are served. Property taxes were $218.88 for the year.
The terms are $99 down and a $199 document fee, then $417.11 a month for ten years at 16% interest, with no credit check and no penalty for paying early. The cash price is $24,999.
While you are making payments, the Contract for Deed keeps the lot as it is unless we agree otherwise in writing. The deed is recorded in your name when the balance is paid, and building or placing a home starts then. A buyer who wants to move sooner can pay the balance off early and take the deed.
The area
Flagler Estates covers roughly 10,000 acres at the southern tip of St. Johns County, about eight miles southeast of Hastings, with the Flagler County line along its southern edge. The Census Bureau counts it as its own community and recorded 3,540 residents in 2020, up from 3,215 ten years earlier. People live here year round on lots of about an acre.
The whole subdivision is zoned Open Rural and carries no deed restrictions. Mobile homes and site built houses stand on the same streets, and many owners keep horses or chickens. Beckenger Avenue runs north from Palatka Boulevard in the southern part of the grid. The aerial photos show homes on several of the lots around this one and woods on the others.
Hastings is potato country. Thomas Horace Hastings, a cousin of Henry Flagler, started the settlement in 1890 to grow winter vegetables for Flagler's hotels in St. Augustine, and the farms around it still grow potatoes and cabbage. State Road 207 connects Hastings with St. Augustine, the county seat, to the northeast and with Palatka to the southwest. Groceries and most errands mean a drive to Hastings or Palatka.
The land is flat and drained by a grid of ditches and canals. Lots stay wooded until an owner clears a homesite.
Ask St. Johns County Growth Management to confirm the Open Rural zoning and the setbacks for the home you have in mind. Ask the Florida Department of Health in St. Johns County about a septic permit, and ask the county what road and drainage assessments are billed with the property taxes. Look the lot up on the Property Appraiser site under parcel 0506701409, where the owner of record is Lotvestors LLC. Then read how owner financing works before you reserve.

Questions to settle before you reserve
- What is a Contract for Deed, and when do I get the deed?
- A Contract for Deed, also called a Land Contract, is an installment sale. While you are making payments, the parcel stays titled in our company name, Lotvestors LLC, and you hold a contractual right to buy it. When the balance is paid in full, we prepare a deed in your name and record it with the county, and the parcel is officially yours. The contract itself is not recorded in the public records. A sample contract is available before you reserve; ask for one on the contact page.
- Can I use the property while I am making payments?
- Mostly no. To keep our risk and liability low enough to offer owner financing at these prices, the contract includes these rules while you are paying:
- You will not live on the property or let anyone else live on it.
- You will not alter the property without our written consent, including clearing it, adding structures or fences, or leaving items on it.
- You will comply with all building, zoning, health and other applicable codes.
- Any cost to correct a violation, including cleanup, fines and permits, is yours.
- You will not record the contract in any public records.
- Breaking any of these rules puts you immediately in default. - Is the $298 refundable if I change my mind?
- No. The $99 down payment and the $199 document fee are non-refundable once paid, and so is every monthly payment after that. This is stated on every listing, on our Terms page and on the Owner Financing page. Please do your homework before you reserve: look up the parcel number, call the county Planning and Zoning office, and read the contract terms. If you have questions, ask them first. We would rather talk you out of a parcel than refund one.
- What does the $99 down payment cover?
- The $99 is your down payment on the purchase price and it reserves the parcel for you. It comes off the cash price, so on a $4,999 parcel you finance $4,900. It does not cover the $199 document fee, which is separate. Reserving holds the parcel for 24 hours while the invoice comes to you; paying it takes the parcel off the market and starts the clock: within two business days you receive the contract by email, and you have seven days to sign it. Like all payments, the $99 is non-refundable.
- Can I build, camp, or park an RV on the parcel?
- Not during the contract. While you are making payments, you cannot live on the land, place a mobile home or RV, build anything, clear, fence, or store items there. After the parcel is paid off and deeded to you, what you can do is up to county zoning and land use rules, and most of our investment acreage is not buildable at this time. If building or camping is your goal, call the county Planning and Zoning office about the specific parcel number before you reserve it.
