Thank you for choosing Villa Vista in Carolina, Puerto Rico as your destination for your vacation. This property was discovered back in 2021 by a real estate entrepreneur and visionary by the name of Roberto Green based out of Boston, Massachusetts who located this property on a Craigslist ad in 2020. After much negotiations with the original owner, Roberto was able to take over this hidden gem and fully renovate it to what you see it as today alongside with the help of his friend and Puerto Rican native, Javier Rivera.
As you will note this property sits over 2 acres of land which was once a training ground for some of the most prestigious Paso Fino horses in Puerto Rico. This ranch would hold between 30-40 horses at a time with over 20 stables. Prior owner, Fundador “Daddy” Diaz, who passed away 3 months after the sale of the property in 2023 was a well known horse trainer and businessman who raised and trained these horses for Paso Fino.
Paso Fino was a traditional style of riding horses developed in Puerto Rico in which the horses have a smooth, natural, four-beat, lateral gait. Highly popular on Puerto Rican ranches and farms, Paso Fino horses were prized for their soothing ride, agile speed, and ability to travel long distances comfortably over mountainous island terrain while still being suitable for ranch work and cattle handling.
Famous Puerto Rican boxer, Tito Trinidad, was also known to have purchased his horses from this ranch. Even the most expensive horse in the world, Joyero, who originated in Colombia would roam this land prior to partaking in competitions held in Puerto Rico.
