Why it's interesting
A solid fit on the core requirement: 3-bed/2-bath, remodeled, move-in ready at $149,995 on 1.17 acres. Elevation is genuine (1,061 ft, USGS), and the high-water-risk barrio (post-Maria damage reported) sits at minimal flood risk (FEMA X). However, the property lacks nearly all the loves: no elevation feel, no views, no water, no fruit trees, no rainforest character. The price is reasonable relative to comps ($198k–$440k range) and represents fair value for the condition and lot size, not a flip. Suitable for a couple needing move-in housing with land, but visually unremarkable and views-poor.
🔄 Refreshed with measured elevation/flood, the cadastre record, and the listing photos on 2026-07-24.
💵 Last recorded sale price not provided in the brief; asking $149,995 sits comfortably in the middle of the local land range ($33k–$160k) and below single-family home averages ($198k–$440k); no flip indicators visible.
What the photos show
Photos 1–2 and 14–15 show a modest single-story concrete house on a paved driveway, semi-flat terrain with no visible slope, set among dense green vegetation. Photos 3–4 reveal the surrounding land is heavily overgrown with low scrub and grass, sloping gently downward away from the house; no mountain views, ocean views, or water features visible. Interior photos (5–13) show clean, remodeled kitchen and bathroom, dark hardwood flooring in multiple bedrooms, functional but modest finishes. The lot appears enclosed by dense vegetation (privacy achieved), but no fruit trees are evident, and the rainforest character is absent—this is suburban edge vegetation, not tropical forest. The house is move-in ready; the land is unimproved jungle.

Buildability
Lot is buildable; semi-flat topography suggests no steep erosion risk. No flood zone, agricultural, or access barriers mentioned. Calle sin salida (dead-end street) is typical for PR rural parcels and poses no legal impediment.
Due diligence — verify before buying
- Verify last recorded sale price and date via cadastre to confirm no speculative markup.
- Inspect the 'remodeled' kitchen and bathroom for quality and remaining lifespan (electrical, plumbing, structural); photos show basic finishes.
- Confirm the 1.17 acres is buildable/has legal title; no encumbrances on the dead-end street access.
- Ask about post-Hurricane Maria recovery status in Guayabota (June 2018 reports noted severe damage)—any structural repairs completed, permits filed?
- Request flood history and insurance feasibility despite FEMA X rating; municipality marked medium coastal flood risk.
- Walk the boundary and downslope terrain in person; assess drainage and neighbor encroachment on the overgrown land.
