Why it's interesting
This is a move-in-ready 3-bed home at 706 ft elevation on 0.49 acres with proven Airbnb income history and clean, up-to-date interiors—meeting the couple's core requirement. Moderate elevation, pastoral views, lush vegetation, and good privacy score it reasonably well on the 'loves' checklist. However, the $450,000 asking price appears well above comparable recent sales ($214k–$481k range for Gurabo homes suggests this is at the high end or a flip), and the lack of ocean views, riverfront, or distinctive mountain vistas limits its appeal against the highest-scoring alternatives. Flood zone X (minimal risk) is favorable.
🔄 Refreshed with measured elevation/flood, the cadastre record, and the listing photos on 2026-07-24.
💵 Asking $450,000; Gurabo comps span $214k–$481k, placing this at the upper boundary. Verify last recorded sale price and date to assess whether this is a flip or accurately priced for the fully-equipped rental-ready condition.
What the photos show
Photos 1–4 show a hillside property with moderate elevation gain; the driveway slopes upward and the home sits elevated on the lot, providing good drainage potential. Photos 2 and 4 capture pastoral views across vegetated valleys and distant tree cover, suggesting some scenic outlook but not ocean-visible. Photos 5–7 reveal interior/recreational amenities (pool table, swing, landscaping) and a blue above-ground pool nestled into the sloped terrain. Photos 8–12 show the home's interior: clean, bright, well-maintained bedrooms, bathrooms, and living spaces with modern furnishings—clearly turnkey and recently prepared for rental. Photo 3 shows a breezy balcony/porch with good cross-ventilation. The vegetation is lush and green throughout (photos 1, 2, 4–5); no obvious fruit trees are visible, but tropical growth is abundant. Road access appears functional and paved. No stream or river visible on the property itself.

Buildability
Only 0.49 acres; too small for expansion or a second build. Not a land play.
Due diligence — verify before buying
- Confirm last recorded sale price and date; calculate holding period and cost basis to assess markup vs. comps and market justification for $450k ask.
- Inspect pool equipment, plumbing, and electrical systems; verify recent Airbnb reviews and actual annual income (not just 'up to $40,000').
- Walk the lot during/after rain to assess drainage, slope stability, and any hidden water issues given Gurabo's hurricane flood/landslide history.
- Check property lines and easements; confirm 0.49 acres matches cadastral records and no disputes exist.
- Verify title, HOA status/fees (if any), and property tax assessment.
- Request inspection report; confirm home is genuinely 'fully equipped' (furnishings, appliances, pool table) and what is included in sale vs. fixtures only.
