Cuenca Properties
Cuenca, with its cobblestone streets and stately mansions, has become one of the world´s top retirement destinations. The city, Ecuador´s third largest, is home to approximately 350,000 citizens, and an estimated 4,000 expats. It is an extremely walkable city, and expats often gather near the Parque Abdon Calderon for coffee or drinks. The city is flush with both modern conveniences including 18 hospitals, and with 4 major universities attracting students from all over the world, it is often referred to as the Athens of the Andes.
Cuenca´s temperatures range from 50-75 degrees Fahrenheit, and is often hailed as the city of eternal spring. For those who love the outdoors, Cajas National Park offers incredible year round hiking. Most expats live extremely well on $2000 a month.
If you are seeking a rich cultural life with international symphonies and ballets and a mix of the historic and the modern, come see what makes Cuenca such a special place to retire.

There are many things we think we can never have. Like a country get-away in one of the most beautiful National Parks in the world. That’s only 15 minutes from an amazing Colonial Spanish city. A place where nature takes precedence. Where peace and quiet, and safety are all ours. A place where all we have to show up with is our toothbrush. Yeah, those places are almost impossible to find and just as impossible to afford. But every once in a while… Someone puts one up for sale and just like that it’s gone. And that’s what is likely to happen to this beautiful one bedroom, one bath condominium in a gated community in the Cajas mountains. This stunning home comes fully furnished in a setting that you have to see to believe. We saw it, and we still couldn’t believe that someone was able to get prime land like this, bordering the Cajas National Park AND then was able to create this small gated community on it. With nature trails, a river going through the property, and miles and miles of hiking nearby, you’ll be able to get back to nature like you’ve always dreamed of. And yet, you’re only a 15-minute bus ride to Cuenca when you need a little city action! This 900 square foot, luxury home in the mountains can be yours for only $129,000. But if living in this kind of beauty is something you’re looking for, you better hurry, because this nature retreat will be gone soon. Condo fee $115 per month. Yearly property taxes $110 per year.

Perched on a mountaintop, this gorgeous single level home combines the best of country living with easy access to all of the city’s amenities. The house was custom designed by its current owners to incorporate U.S.-style features, fixtures and conveniences rarely found in other homes and was carefully crafted by one of Cuenca’s leading architects. Everyone who sees this house calls it the Hollywood Hills of Cuenca. The front of the house overlooks all of Cuenca while the rear offers spectacular vistas of the Gordeleg River valley below. If the views take your breath away, there’s an abundance of clean, fresh mountain air in an environment of peace, safety and the tranquility of country living less than 9 miles from Cuenca. The house is a single-level, bright, open, 3+ bedroom home with every comfort you could possibly imagine including a huge chef’s kitchen, thermostaticallycontrolled radiant heat floors throughout the house, and a master bedroom suite so large you could get lost in it. Each bedroom features its own walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom while the master bedroom includes an incredibly luxurious master bath, separate his-andhers walk-in closets, an adjoining sitting room as well as a separate oversized study that was purposely designed for convertibility to a fourth bedroom if desired. The extra touches built in to this house and its surroundings are simply too numerous to list but equal or exceed what one would expect to find in the finest homes in Cuenca including a whole-house sound system, true US-style enclosed garage with remote-controlled overhead door, spacious double walk-in shower and separate Jacuzzi for two in master bath, recently-installed solar panels supplying hot water for the radiant heat system, European-style custom sliding glass doors, double-sided remote-controlled gas fireplace, outdoor kitchen with huge horno de leña and separate wood grill, floored attic with pull-down stairs, built-in monitored security system with 17 remotely accessible cameras (both inside and outside), huge patio with gas firepit, high-end imported North American appliances and plumbing fixtures, LED lighting, “zebra” blinds, and so much more. The kitchen is enormous and built with both cooking and entertaining in mind. There’s a center island and tons of cabinetry with many custom racks and storage accessories. The appliances are also high end imported units including a dishwasher, garbage disposal, under sink water filter for the icemaker and a dedicated beverage faucet. Completing the picture there’s a large built-in convection oven and a 5-burner built-in gas cooktop. The walk-in pantry and adjoining breakfast room are just the icing on the cake. All this in 400 meters of construction (4300 square feet) and more than 5.5 hectares of land (55,000 m2 or 13+ acres). Own your own mountaintop with incredible views, luxurious comfort, and all the advantages that Cuenca has to offer but none of its downside. There’s an option to purchase the entire contents of the home (excluding personal effects) as well as a Lexus RX450 hybrid with approximately 55.000 miles. This is a ONE OF A KIND OPPORTUNITY!... Waiting for you.
