Monthly estimates include principal and interest, a property-tax allowance, a homeowners-insurance allowance, and mortgage insurance for the 3.5% scenario. Cash includes tax and insurance only. HOA, maintenance, utilities, and tax effects are not included.
The 6.6% starting rate rounds Freddie Mac’s 6.58% average 30-year rate on July 23, 2026. The 3% closing-cost placeholder is within the CFPB’s typical 2%–5% range. Tax, insurance, and mortgage-insurance figures are adjustable planning allowances—not quotes.
Estimate only. Loan eligibility, appraisal, lender reserves, seller credits, and program limits are not checked.

Buildability
Property is occupied by an existing home; not offered as buildable land. Single-family expansion or rebuild would require variance and survey.
Questions to verify
- Confirm the 1.02-acre parcel boundary and title via CRIM or deed; verify no part is in easement or subject to encroachment from El Yunque or adjacent lands.
- Inspect the 'natural river swimming hole' claimed to be walking distance—verify its legal status (public access, private easement, seasonal flow) and any flood or liability risk.
- Walk the property for actual fruit-bearing trees (cacao, mango, plantain, etc.) and confirm species; verify any agricultural designation affecting property tax.
- Have structural engineer inspect roof condition (hurricane zone), pool integrity, and seismic/slip potential given elevation and steep terrain.
- Verify hurricane insurance availability and cost; confirm flood insurance is not required (Zone X) but verify FEMA designation on the specific parcel.
- Confirm 'owner financing available' terms in writing and verify no lien, HOA, or easement to El Yunque.
Research & sourcesPhotos, web findings & original listing
What the photos show
Photos 1–7 show a hillside property with elevated decking, panoramic views toward the coast and distant mountains, and lush green landscape suggesting tropical vegetation. Interior shots (8–15) reveal a well-maintained 3-bed, 2.5-bath home with wood ceilings, ceiling fans, and bright finishes—no obvious structural issues. Photo 6 captures a pool area overlooking valleys; photos suggest mature tropical plantings in the yard. The home sits at clear elevation (1440 ft measured) with open sightlines to ocean and mountain vistas. No riverfront water visible in the immediate property photos, though the listing mentions adjacent river access and proximity to waterfalls. Road access appears via private drive; privacy appears strong given the hillside setting and gated entrance mentioned.

What the web found

These listings describe it as a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residential house within a private gated community on approximately 1 acre, adjacent to El Yunque with ocean views. However, the original Facebook/broker listing at $595,000 for 1.0196 acres may represent a different pricing or classification than other listings found at higher prices ($635,000–$685,000) for what appears to be the same address.

Recent Río Grande single-family home sales in the database range from $625,000 (3 bed, 4 bath, 2,226 sqft, sale pending) to $2,695,000.
