Parcela D shown in the below survey plan is the 24-acre lot offered here for sale. It is a unique waterfront, very beautiful, secluded, and titled property, in an exclusive neighborhood of Culebra, PR, ideal to build your dream mansion, and/or residential-touristic development, and/or keep it for investment purposes. The private road located within Parcela D, shown on the below survey map, runs northerly along its length, from the shoreline at sea level up to 350 ft. elevations, where exhilarating views are attainable. The property has over 750 linear feet of oceanfront.

No Coastal Erosion:
This property is not subject to coastal erosion, partly because the Luis Peña Cay shields it from westerly ocean surge and Culebra Island protects it from the prevailing easterly ocean waves, and the ocean waters by the 24-acre Parcela D are typically very calm year-round..

Lot size and Price: 24.275 acres (= 25 cuerdas*), 98,259.8906 sq. mts.; $5,800,000.

Private snorkeling beach: Very few outsiders venture into the shoreline where Parcela D is because a promontory and the natural topography discourages these visitors.

Calm crystaline waters: Due to the surrounding topography and the Luis Peña Cay, the ocean waters by Parcela D are typically very calm year-round.

Snorkeling and walk-in scuba: In front of Parcela D you find one of the best snorkeling spots in Culebra, easily reachable by a short swim away from the shoreline. Walk-in scuba is also possible.

Road access from Parcela D to state road PR-251: Drive from Parcela D westerly along a private right-of-way across Parcela C, shown with red lines in the below survey plan, and then keep driving on the municipality paved road for about 3/4 miles to reach PR-251.
The owner of Parcela D has lived on Parcela C for over 35 years. He is presently retired and temporarily plans on keeping his short-term apartment rental business closed. He is looking forward to meet and welcome the new owners of Parcela D.
