About this property

Brimming with character and renovation potential, this two-story Caribbean-style residence sits on approximately one and a half acre of lush tropical grounds. It's approximately 850 meters from world-renowned Flamenco Beach, roughly a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive. Built with the Force 10 Engineered Building System, the home features galvanized steel frame construction with insulated cement-fiber wall panels and a Colorbond steel roof, engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 160 mph and built on reinforced concrete foundations. A robust hurricane-resistant building system originally tested by Queensland University of Technology. The structure has stood through Hurricane Irma (2017, Category 5) and Hurricane María (2017, Category 4), a testament to its engineered design. The home's balconies on both levels are ideal for enjoying the Caribbean breeze while taking in sweeping vistas of the Flamenco lagoon and surrounding hillsides. Inside, terracotta tile floors run throughout and French doors open to the balconies and the views. A spacious kitchen anchors the main living area, featuring a center island with gas cooktop and bar seating area, granite countertops, and ample cabinet storage. The home offers 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms across two levels, with the upper floor accessed via an exterior staircase. The property will require meaningful renovation and repairs throughout, offering a rewarding opportunity for buyers with vision to restore and personalize a Culebra residence to their own taste. Mature tropical landscaping with palms, banana, and fruit trees surrounds the home. The large yard offers generous room to expand the outdoor living experience, ample space for a future pool, lounging patios, or additional structures.
