This 4,060.99 m² plot, located in the Granada subdivision, sits on a private, dead-end street and features a mostly flat terrain covered with mature trees, offering both privacy and tranquility. The land’s regular shape and generous size make it ideal for building a residence, establishing gardens, or creating walking paths. Its location on a quiet internal road ensures a peaceful environment, whether for family living or a secluded vacation retreat. The level topography allows for efficient use of space, and the dense tree cover provides natural shade and enhances the overall landscape.
