Land Advantages:

• Clearing is permitted to create grazing areas and expand livestock capacity, provided that the 23-meter mangrove protection buffer is respected.
• With three islands forming a single property portfolio, the buyer benefits from privacy, scale, and the flexibility to combine livestock, crop cultivation, and other uses.
• Versatile agricultural use: Potential to combine livestock operations, crop production, and other activities compatible with current regulations.
