The Top Portal for Cuenca Real Estate

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.

In a city of condos, this single-family home is a rare find in Cuenca, especially as it has direct access right to the Yanuncay river in its private back yard! In a very quiet location (but close to Primero de Mayo) on 6,000 square feet of land, this 3,000 square foot, 2-story home has all the room any family will need, with 4 bedrooms and 3 and a half bathrooms, a large kitchen and a family/living room with a fireplace. This home has been recently remolded, but it still boasts the character of the beautiful older homes of Cuenca. From the outside, you’ll immediately see the details that have been taken care of, like the stained roof rafters, the flowered window boxes and the gorgeous windows. One of the things you’ll notice when you walk in, is just how large all the rooms are. It actually has a gigantic kitchen and a master bedroom large enough for you to enjoy a sitting chair and even a large armoire (in case the massive built-in closet is not enough)! There has been a “seawall” build to protect the property against erosion from the river, so you’ll never have to worry about losing your investment. But imagine, being that close to the beautiful running water of one of Cuenca’s nicest rivers! This rare 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 3,000 square foot river house can be yours for $309,000.

It’s not often that such an amazing place comes up for sale in one of the best buildings in town. As soon as you walk into this incredible top floor unit, you can just sense the exquisite taste of the builders. There are no separations or columns on the first floor except for the storage and maids’ room area. The kitchen is big and has a nice kitchen isle, hard wood cabinets and first-class granite, and then there are the views, just as nearly every other room in this place and lots more. The dining and living room are right in front of the kitchen and has top to bottom windows that let in amazing natural light, and you can enjoy the views of Cuenca. Flooring in this place is amazing, with real hardwood floors, which as you probably know are difficult to find in Cuenca, even in a house, let alone in an apartment. Off course this place with its 3000 square feet feels more like a house than it does an apartment.
