Why it's interesting
This is a solid move-in-ready 3-bed home at 1,316 ft elevation with confirmed mountain views (photo 16) and clear privacy in a serene Cidra barrio. Price of $350,000 is near the top of local comps ($194–$384k), but the elevation, views, and condition justify it for a couple seeking elevation and vistas. Main gap: no oceanView, no obvious fruit trees, no waterfront—but those are nice-to-haves. Flood risk is minimal (FEMA zone X). Landslide hazard in adjacent barrios is noted in regional data but this specific lot isn't flagged; due diligence required.
🔄 Refreshed with measured elevation/flood, the cadastre record, and the listing photos on 2026-07-25.
💵 Price $350,000 is at the high end of local single-family comps ($194–$384k, median ~$289k); last sale price not provided in brief, so cannot assess flip or appreciation multiplier. Web inventory shows 3-beds as low as $74,800, suggesting this is premium-positioned for views/elevation/condition.
What the photos show
Photos 1–2 show a two-story yellow/cream home on a sloped lot with mature trees and green surroundings; elevation is evident from the driveway gradient and foundation step-up. Interior shots (3–8, 12–15) reveal spacious rooms with tile/ceramic flooring, large windows, and decent natural light; home appears well-maintained but dated (fixtures, cabinetry style consistent with 1990s–2000s construction). Photo 16 captures a panoramic mountain/valley view from what appears to be a balcony or upper terrace—significant elevation and vistas confirmed. No ocean view visible. No river or stream evident in any photo. Vegetation around the home is tropical but no identifiable fruit trees in close-ups; lush green surroundings suggest good rainfall and rainforest-adjacent ecology. Road access appears paved and direct (photos 1–2). Privacy appears good—no neighboring homes visible, surrounded by trees and open land.
