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.

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.

A brand new fully furnished condo in an exclusive gated community on the rim of El Cajas National Park has just been put on the market. This glorious, one-bedroom, one-bath 1000 square foot corner condo is built to North American standards with a fireplace, heated floors, open concept living, and dining areas, and an outdoor patio. The condo is one of the biggest and best now available in the complex, perfect as a deluxe Andes home or as weekend getaways, vacation rental, or investment property. Located in Valle Encantado, the condo is safely nestled in a high-end development consisting of two, 2-unit condo buildings surrounding inner courtyards, and two separate homes set on 10 acres of prime forest and riverfront land with views rivaling any in the world.
