Area & terrain notes

Barrio Masas, Gurabo is in the interior foothills southeast of San Juan, roughly 25–30 minutes from Humacao. Gurabo sits at modest elevation (200–400 ft typical) with mixed residential and agricultural character. The area is inland and not flood-prone like coastal lowlands, but the listing provides no topographic detail—no confirmation of views or ridge position. Proximity to Humacao is solid; terrain is more rolling than dramatic.

Buildability

Land appears buildable (residential use noted); has electrical easement. No flood zone, access road, water source, or topographic details provided. Must verify septic feasibility, road frontage/easement, and whether 'agricultural' zoning allows single-family residential without variance.

⚠️ Listing flags: servidumbre

Due diligence — verify before buying

• Obtain a topographic map and site survey to confirm actual elevation and sightlines; 'majestic views' require verification (east-facing ridge? valley?)
• Confirm zoning classification and whether 3-lot subdivision and single-family home are permitted without agricultural variance
• Verify road frontage, access easement, and condition of Masas barrio road infrastructure
• Investigate water availability (municipal supply, well feasibility, water table) and septic soil suitability
• Confirm electrical easement terms and whether it restricts building footprint or sightlines
• Review flood/landslide risk maps for the specific barrio and lot positions
