LOS PILONES WATERFALL & NATURAL SETTING

The property's defining feature is its immediate relationship with Los Pilones Waterfall, the Canóvanas River, and the Canóvanas River Dam.

Unlike land simply located near a natural attraction, this property is directly adjacent to Los Pilones, with internal access toward the waterfall, the Dam, and river area. A freshwater stream also traverses a portion of the land.

The combination of an established tourism destination, river boundary, tropical vegetation, and substantial private acreage creates an unusual opportunity for a buyer seeking a nature-oriented property within convenient reach of metropolitan Puerto Rico.

IMPROVED ACCESS & TOPOGRAPHY

The current owner has made significant improvements throughout the property including:

  • New and improved internal roads and trails
  • Better connectivity between different areas of the property
  • Enhanced internal access from the upper portions toward the river and Los Pilones Waterfall area
  • Clearing and improvement of usable elevated areas
  • Professional boundary and topographic surveys

The land combines elevated areas, gradual slopes, ridgelines, and descending terrain toward the Canóvanas River. Upper portions of the property offer panoramic views toward the northeastern metropolitan and coastal corridor, including views in the direction of Isla Verde, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport area.
