Riverfront Property Adjacent to El Yunque – Colinas de Cubuy, Canóvanas, PR

Discover a rare opportunity to own a unique riverfront property located in the Colinas de Cubuy neighborhood of Canóvanas, Puerto Rico, directly adjacent to El Yunque National Rainforest. This expansive property encompasses approximately five cuerdas of lush tropical land and is bisected by the Cubuy River, creating a private natural sanctuary with waterfalls, natural pools, and dramatic boulder-lined riverbanks.

The land is rich with mature vegetation, fruit trees, and flowering plants, offering privacy, shade, and a true connection to the surrounding rainforest environment. Cool mountain breezes, the sound of flowing water, and the proximity to El Yunque’s trails and natural features make this property especially appealing for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle immersed in nature.

The residence offers a flexible two-level layout that may function as a single large home or two units.
• The upper level includes approximately 800 sq ft of interior space, featuring a kitchen, living area, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms (one en suite). A large covered balcony expands the living space to over 1,500 sq ft, complete with a fireplace and river views.
• The lower level offers approximately 600 sq ft of interior space with two rooms, two bathrooms, a laundry area, and an open-air kitchen. With outdoor areas included, this level expands to over 1,700 sq ft and may be enclosed if desired.

Each bedroom is equipped with air conditioning, though the property benefits naturally from cooler temperatures due to its elevation and proximity to the rainforest. Recent improvements include updated windows, tile work, and A/C units.

Additional features include a separate storage building, a large cistern, a stable/horse area, and fenced land on the north side of the river. The expansive acreage and dual-unit configuration provide potential for multi-generational living, rental income, or a combination of personal use and investment.

Located in Canóvanas, this property offers convenient access to San Juan and the northeast coast while maintaining a distinctly rural, tranquil setting. Properties of this size with river frontage and direct access to El Yunque are increasingly rare.

This is a move-in ready opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, natural beauty, and versatility in one of Puerto Rico’s most unique settings.
