CASA AMARILLO-
Culebra’s closest private home to the most beautiful beach"

LOCATION:
Casa Amarillo has a very unique, one of a kind location. It is the closest private home to Flamenco Beach located at the seldom used turn off to Tamaridno Beach. This is a low density zoned area which is mostly zoned 25 acres a house. Casa Amarillo sits on a one and a half acre property that was legally segregated and titled in the eighties. This unique zoning allowance presented an opportunity to have this one of a kind location that is four tenths of a mile from Flamenco Beach and approximately a third mile to Tanamarido Beach. Flamenco Beach has been rated for years as the second most beautiful beach in the United States. Tamarindo Beach is on the other side of the Flamenco peninsula and faces Cayo Luis Pena. Tamarindo beach offers a very tranquil and natural setting that is great for snorkeling, kayaking and peaceful romantic sunsets. Across the road from the Casa Amarillo is the beautiful natural panoramic view of Flamenco Lagoon. This fresh water catch, surrounded by natural mangroves, is a favorite habitat of many species of birds and recently surprised Culebra with the visiting Pink Flamenco. Further on in line of sight is a horizon view of the Atlantic Ocean. This location is approx three quarters mile from the small airport and 2 miles to the ferry dock and town. It should be noted that the deeded property extends to the lagoon area and the owners recently had it deeded and protected as a wildlife easement.

  PROPERTY:
The property is titled and deeded as a 1.56 cuerda ( approximately 1 ½ acre ) lot but is located in an area designed mostly with 25 cuerda zoning per house. A hereditary segregation performed in the 80’s allowed this small lot to obtain a legal title. The owners after purchasing the property had part of the property designated as a protected wildlife reserve and another section was deeded as an easement roadway to the government. This extensive legal work although not the obligation of the owners was performed to create perfect legal representation of the property. The current usable property would be approx .96 cuerdas, or just a bit less than an acre. Casa Amarillo is located in one corner of the property, which leaves an opportunity for the construction of another house or cottage in the far corner of the property
