Source title: FINCA EN BO. TOMAS DE CASTRO I, CAGUAS
A 15.25-acre finca (15.7 cuerdas / approximately 61,707 m²) in Barrio Tomás de Castro I, Sector Loma Federico, straddling the Caguas–San Lorenzo boundary with access via Road 788 at kilometer 2.1. The land features varied topography and agricultural heritage: it retains the historic slopes once used for rice and tobacco cultivation, making it ideal for resuming agricultural production or developing an agro-tourism project. The property includes a stream (quebrada) and a natural spring—an invaluable resource during drought and water rationing.

Area notes
Caguas is in the interior (central-metro PR), roughly 45–60 minutes by car from Humacao depending on route; it's cooler and more forested than the coast, with moderate rainfall and lower flood risk than low-lying areas. Barrio Tomás de Castro is rural, hilly terrain typical of the interior—likely good elevation for views if the property's topography favors it, but you must verify this on-site. The area is near the foothills; El Yunque is an hour or more north. Character is agricultural and quiet, not beach-oriented.

Buildability
Zoning (A-G, SREP-A) explicitly permits single-family homes. Varied topography and water access are positive. Verify: Road 788 access capacity, flood zone/drainage (stream presence requires due diligence), and whether agricultural classification triggers any permitting delays for residential build.
Questions to verify
- Obtain a topographic map and site visit to confirm elevation gain and whether views toward Humacao, the coast, or mountains are actually present—listing does not describe views explicitly.
- Verify access: confirm Road 788 is maintained and can support residential construction traffic and future driveway/utility installation.
- Flood zone and drainage: the stream (quebrada) is a plus for water but requires a hydrological assessment; confirm FEMA flood zone and any easement restrictions.
- Survey and boundary verification: 15.25 acres is substantial; obtain a professional survey to confirm legal boundaries, especially at the Caguas–San Lorenzo line.
- Water rights and natural spring: clarify ownership and legal rights to the spring (ojo de agua); confirm it is not claimed by a neighboring municipality or subject to community use.
- Zoning variance and permitting timeline: although SREP-A is flexible, confirm that a residential single-family build does not require additional environmental or agricultural exemptions, and estimate permitting timeline given the December deadline.
