Buildability
A-G agricultural zoning explicitly permits single-family and bifamiliar residential. Quebrada and natural spring present; verify water rights, seasonal flooding behavior, and whether Carretera 788 access is maintained year-round. Survey and soil/geotechnical assessment essential for building on former rice/tobacco terraces.
Questions to verify
- Verify the large cleared/bare area visible in photos 1–8: permits, zoning compliance, environmental clearance, and whether it reduces usable acreage or indicates active/incomplete development.
- Confirm exact location and walking access to the quebrada (stream) and natural spring; assess water rights and seasonal flow.
- Obtain detailed survey and cadastral plan to reconcile the listing's 15.7 cuerdas (~15.25 acres) with actual parcel boundaries and any encumbrances.
- Clarify zoning sub-category (SREP-A) and confirm what residential densities, dwelling units, or commercial uses are genuinely permitted for a couple seeking either a move-in house or a land-economics buildable play.
- Request environmental and soil reports, especially given the terraced agricultural history and the recent clearing visible in the photographs.
- Inspect road access and utility availability (power, water, sewage) to assess true development cost and timeline.
Research & sourcesPhotos, web findings & original listing
What the photos show
Photos 1–8 show a large cleared/bare patch on sloped terrain with brown exposed soil dominating the composition, surrounded by dense green vegetation and forest; this appears to be recent land clearing or grading activity, not an existing home or structure. Photos 9–16 reveal the broader landscape: rolling hills with mixed pasture, forest patches, terraced agricultural slopes consistent with the listing's description of former rice/tobacco cultivation, and distant mountain views. No visible dwelling, dwelling foundation, or habitable structure appears in any frame. Vegetation is lush and mixed; no identifiable fruit trees are evident at this scale. Road access is visible as dirt/narrow paths. The clearing in photos 1–8 may indicate active development or disturbance rather than a ready-to-occupy property.
