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.

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.

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.
