Why it's interesting
The 463 ft elevation and X flood zone are solid, but the 100-acre parcel is purely agricultural pasture with no water features, no rainforest character, minimal privacy (bordered by major roads and residential developments), and no visible fruit trees or ocean/river views. At $450,000 (~$4,477/acre) it is moderately priced for the Puerto Rico market, but does not deliver the couple's core 'loves'—elevation/views, oceanView, riverfront, fruitTrees, or rainforest—making it a speculative agricultural/development holding rather than a dream-home site.
🔄 Refreshed with measured elevation/flood, the cadastre record, and the listing photos on 2026-07-01.
💵 No recent sale price provided in listing; $450,000 for 100+ acres is reasonable per-acre for the region, but without comps or last-sale data, cannot assess if this is a bargain or premium.
What the photos show
Photo 1 is a satellite/cadastre map showing the parcel boundary (blue outline) adjacent to Praderas de Ceiba Norte development and flanked by PR-31 and PR-235; it confirms the location and shows mixed residential/agricultural surroundings. Photo 2 is a ground-level view of the actual land—gently rolling pasture with scattered trees, moderate grass/brush coverage, no obvious fruit trees, and no visible water features, river, or ocean; terrain appears to be low to moderate slope with good visibility but no dramatic elevation or views evident.

Buildability
Zoned A-1 & A-3 (Agricultural); original residential development permits expired and are no longer active. Building a single-family home would require new residential zoning variance or conditional-use approval. Surrounded by industrial pharma facilities and 50% built-up suburban development. State road access is good but setting is industrial/commercial, not residential.
Due diligence — verify before buying
- Confirm last recorded sale price and date (if any) to assess whether $450,000 represents appreciation, a hold, or a flip.
- Verify current zoning status (A-1 & A-3) and whether expired Valle de la Ceiba permits create title/development restrictions.
- Inspect the land in person to identify any hidden water features (seasonal streams, wetlands) and assess soil quality/drainage for future use.
- Clarify whether the couple intends to develop, subdivide, or build a single home; if single-home dream property, this large agricultural parcel may be over-sized and high-maintenance.
- Confirm property boundary and survey accuracy, particularly along PR-31 and PR-235 road edges, to assess build-able area and setback requirements.
- Research whether the El Mango 'Special Community' designation imposes any restrictions or grant eligibility on development or improvements.
