Bahia Properties
Bahia de Caraquez, or just Bahia, sits on the southern mouth of a large bay. What used to be one of Ecuador´s largest ports has become more of an eco-town in recent decades as the harbor suffered from heavy erosion, and much of its shipping industry moved south to Guayaquil or Manta. This has been great news for retirees and expats looking for a small beach town free of noise.
Infrastructure improvements in the region have made a resounding impact on the region. Roads are getting paved all along the coast and the impressive new bridge connecting Bahia to San Vicente has really opened up the area.
While Bahia´s growth is geographically limited, due to the peninsula upon which it sits, across the bay San Vicente is primed for explosive growth over the next decade. San Vicente, a longtime fishing community, has seen a number of small developments spring up in recent years as real estate prices in Bahia have shot up. San Vicente is still a bit of a work in progress, but it is just a short 3 minute taxi ride to Bahia where most of the modern conveniences one might desire are available. And there may be no better real estate investment in Ecuador for those willing to wait a few years.
Be sure to check out nearby beach towns of San Clemente, Canoa, and Crucita as well, all less than an hour away from Bahia. If you're interested in exploring top real estate options in Manta, Ecuador, be sure to check out our comprehensive guide.

Sitting inconspicuously on an estuary that leads to the Bahia Peninsula, this property offers more than just a home, it is an oasis, a refuge, your heaven on earth. . The entrance to the property is through an immense wooden door which winds you down a paved driveway through beautifully landscaped grounds scattered with indigenous trees and flora in an array of colorful hues offering shade as well as privacy. . The main residence is nothing short of spectacular with its attention to detail and meticulous maintenance. The home boasts around 2000 square feet of living space custom designed by the owners. Local hardwoods have been used in not only with the doors and cabinetry, but also the ceilings, which are vaulted to add height and airflow. As you walk through the custom-made front door with etched glass details, you enter the large foyer which is flanked by two spacious bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has a beautiful bay window with seating area to take in all the beautiful scenes of the manicured lawn, trees and flora outside. There is a full bathroom off the foyer and through the bedroom with bay windows is a half bath which jack-jills to the kitchen. The kitchen is a delight with tons of storage and open floor plan.

Not to mention the most amazing Master bedroom suite which is off the living room. The bedroom has floor-ceiling windows facing the river. Past the bedroom you enter the walk-in closet which is more like a small room, with custom cabinetry recreating a california-concept style closet area. Past the closet is a tremendous master bathroom with double sinks, more custom wooden cabinetry for storage, toilet area separated by saloon doors, a walk-in shower with rain shower and tempered glass, and a soaking tub with views of the river. . At the back of the home is a covered patio area which runs parallel to the river and wraps around to the side where you find a nice outdoor kitchen area and side-entrance. This covered patio area boasts multiple seating areas, and a large jacuzzi, all with direct river views. . At the entrance to the property right as you descend the paved driveway, there is a Guest House on the right hand side. This two-level home is great for your visitors as it is completely independent. With approximately 1000 square feet, the downstairs has a open concept kitchen, living and dining area. Off to the back is a full bathroom and also a large bedroom. Head up a wooden staircase to the loft level and there is a second bed. From up here you can look down to the living area below. . Additional outbuildings on the premises include a 2-car covered garage (2 covered stalls plus one carport) which has plenty of storage and its own bathroom, a separate small laundry room, and an additional small casita for an on-site caretaker. . The property is being sold with no furnishings nor appliances, ready for you to bring in your own style to the home. . Difficult to describe in words and photos, this property most definitely must be seen in person. Please contact us to schedule a private showing of this residence to believe that there truly is a Heaven on Earth.

For only $250,000, it is perfect for anyone looking to invest in an up-and-coming area in Ecuador.

There is a plethora of birds and other wildlife in Bahia. You can take tours to go bird watching in the Isla Corazon, a naturally heart-shaped mangrove island in the Chone River estuary and is the nesting site for one of the Pacific's largest frigate bird colonies. Just 15km south of Bahia lies the Chirijie archaeological site. Bahia is well loved by expats and retirees alike, not only for the variety of activities to choose from, but for its simplistic nature, traditional Ecuadorian culture and low-noise community.
