A 57-hectare Antón Ruíz property in Humacao, zoned for homes and commerce, changes hands in a $2.66 million exchange deed
Ganaderia Las Dos LLC has taken title to a 569,462 m2 property in Antón Ruíz, Humacao, about 57 hectares, through an exchange deed recorded on October 13, 2026. The deed carries a value of $2,659,940, about $4.67 per square meter of land.
In an exchange, two parties transfer ownership of a thing or right to each other in return for another of proportional value, so the recorded amount is the value placed on what changed hands, not a price paid. The company named on the deed as the party taking title is Ganaderia Las Dos LLC. The tax roll lists the property as number 167 of Batey II in Barrio Pasto Viejo; its boundaries fall inside the Antón Ruíz neighbourhood.
Zoned for homes and commerce, taxed as bare land
The Puerto Rico Land Use Plan classes the property as urban land, and its zoning is split: 48% R-I, the intermediate-density residential district, 25% DT-G, the district for public facilities, 19% C-I, intermediate commercial, 7% R-A and 1% I-L, light industry. About 72% of the land lies in FEMA flood zone X and 28% in zone AE. The property-tax roll values the land at $38,260 and lists no structure.
The property's earlier records
One earlier sale is on file, a deed recorded on November 19, 1996, at $357,923. The property also carries two easements by eminent domain, recorded on October 25, 2004 and May 8, 2006, an open will recorded on July 2, 2025, and an environmental compliance determination by categorical exclusion approved on March 21, 2022.
