Why it's interesting
Elevation (858 ft) and rainforest vegetation are genuine assets; flood risk is minimal (FEMA X). However, the property is raw, landlocked (no visible water access or river frontage), offers no detectable ocean view, and lacks any identifiable fruit trees or structures. Road access is good, and privacy is plausible given the forest zoning, but the listing at $300,000 sits well above recent comparable sales ($105k–$240k for similar-sized parcels in the region), and the high upfront cost plus regulatory constraints (B-1/A-D zoning, SRP classification) and no improvements make it a speculative/long-term play rather than a move-in or quick-build scenario.
🔄 Refreshed with measured elevation/flood, the cadastre record, and the listing photos on 2026-07-01.
💵 Asking $300,000 for a raw, unimproved 50-cuerda parcel; recent comps in the region range $105k–$240k for 6.6–20+ cuerdas, suggesting this may be priced above current market. Last recorded sale data not provided; verify against cadastre records.
What the photos show
Photo 1 (aerial/cadastre map) confirms the parcel outline and dense vegetation coverage typical of interior forest zoning; no structures visible. Photos 2–4 show PR-31 frontage with lush tropical growth, mature trees lining the road, and modest residential structures nearby; the road itself is paved and well-maintained. Terrain appears relatively level along the roadside in photos 2–4, consistent with the 858 ft elevation. No ocean, river, or stream is visible in any ground-level photo; the property abuts roadway and adjoining residential/rural plots. Dense green canopy suggests rainforest character, but no fruit trees are distinctly identifiable. No active development or improvements on the raw land itself.

Buildability
