The property’s setting in the Andes is dramatically beautiful
Dear Reader,
It’s a breathtaking setting. The sparkling water of the Rio Vilcabamba tumbles past a patchwork of forest and pastureland. The magnificent Andes Mountains curl around a little valley, rising dramatically to touch the clear blue sky. This is a mystical place in Ecuador’s southern highlands where locals live longer and healthier—and a growing group of expats call home.
And a unique property is for sale in this stunning location that I had to bring to your attention. It has views of the Andes, the Rio Vilcabamba and the valley.
The land covers 14.1 acres, seven of which are pastures for the 19 horses (mostly Peruvian Pasos) that come with the property. The stables have ten stalls, a tack room, and feed room with its own kitchen and bathroom. Another building houses a three-car garage and workshop.
The property covers 14.1 acres, with a large main house, guesthouse, stables and a garage
The main residence offers 5,300 square feet of interior space and an additional 2,900 square feet of outside porches and balconies. The house has porches on all sides, ten-foot deep at the front; these open onto a 30-foot radius patio, which provides an ideal spot for entertaining. You’ll spend a lot of your time relaxing outdoors here. The weather is eternal spring…mild, balmy and sunny.
The four-bed seven-bath principal house has a video room, office, wine cellar, gym and massage room. An indoor solar-heated 52- feet long lap pool is another way to stay in shape. Or try out the clay tennis court. Afterwards, you can kick back in the Jacuzzi…
The property has a 1500 square foot guest house…and a 52-foot lap pool
You can even invite friends around to play volleyball. You have three courts to choose from…and enough room for 250 spectators!
You also get a 1,500 square-foot guesthouse, with two bedrooms and bathrooms, kitchen, pantry and a laundry room. The garage and guesthouse connect to the main house via porches and covered walkways.
The property is finished to the highest standards, with custom cabinets in the kitchen, crown moldings throughout, hardwood doors and windows, and granite and marble countertops.
Growing your own organic produce year-round is a big attraction for expats here. You have ample space to do that with this property. The grounds include a plant nursery, three tilapia ponds, and a fruit and vegetable garden (where you can pick your own mangoes, avocados, tangerines and lemons).
On the market for $3.29 million, this is a one-of-a-kind property in a special setting.Contact the owner here for a full information package.
