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.

This peaceful mountain retreat, just 25 Minutes from Cuenca, offers endless views and a beautiful casita, allowing for additional sleeping areas, guest suites, or, should you desire, weekend income as a quiet getaway for Cuenccanos and expats wanting to take a short, easy ride to "another world." Nestled in the quiet farming hills north of Siicay, this inviting 1829 sq. ft home is surrounded by some of the most exquisite views in the region — sweeping panoramas of Cuenca’s lights, layered mountain ridges, and ever-changing Andean skies. Set on nearly 19,000 square meters of open, rolling land, the property offers a rare sense of space, privacy, and connection to nature, where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle into soft golden light across the valley. Originally built in 2000 and thoughtfully updated in 2022, the home blends timeless Andean charm with modern comfort. Vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers and tile floors echo the natural world outside, while the recent upgrades — including a full tile roof replacement, new in-floor heating, and refreshed appliances and fixtures — bring ease and refinement to daily living. Outdoor living is one of the property’s greatest pleasures. The large paver patio, accessible from both the kitchen and the sunroom, invites you to spend long mornings with coffee, host intimate gatherings, or stargaze under some of the clearest night skies in the Andes. The immediate grounds are fenced for pets, while the broader acreage is fully enclosed — perfect for horses, gardens, orchards, walking paths, or simply embracing the beauty of wide-open land. The water system is fed by a pristine mountain reservoir and carefully filtered through sand, sediment, and carbon — a thoughtful detail that reinforces the home’s connection to the natural environment. A small bodega houses the washer, dryer, and tool storage.
