Otavalo & Cotacachi Properties

Cotacachi and Otavalo´s Top Properties and Real Estate Developments

Cotacachi and Otavalo are both small towns located about 2 hours north of Ecuador´s capital city, Quito. Cotacachi is nestled between two volcanoes. Situated in beautiful landscapes it is only a 30 minute drive from Lago San Pablo, Ecuador´s largest lake. The town is located adjacent to the Cayapas Ecological Reserve, with over 750,000 protected acres of forest. Cotacachi itself is home to numerous leather artisans, where you can find dozens of stores selling fine leather jackets, belts, shoes, and more along its main street 10 de Agosto. Since 2007, when International Living began promoting this village, a sizable expat community has begun to arrive, attracted to its beautiful Andean views and low cost of living.

Unlike Cotacachi, where the expat culture is well defined, Otavalo is home to a rich indigenous culture. With 90,000 inhabitants, it is much larger than its neighbor Cotacachi. On Saturdays, the massive market overflows from the Plaza de Ponchos and colorful textiles and crafts fill tents along streets in a third of the city. Otavaleños are famous for their weavings, everything from blankets and bags to sweaters and gloves. They are easily recognized by their traditional dress, white pants and dark ponchos for men, and brightly colored dresses for women.

While most residents or make the trip to Ibarra or Quito for all but the most common doctor´s visits, for many, the slow pace of life these two Andean towns offer has been just what the doctor ordered.

Greenery abounds as you enter this lovely 2-story semi-detached home. Mountain views, vibrant grassy lawn, colorful flowers in bloom, and mature landscaping all make this area feel like a walk in the meadows.... as this area is so aptly named. . With a little over 1400 square feet of interior living space, you enter this home into a nice foyer which leads to a large open living / dining space with plenty of windows. Off the foyer there is a half-bath for visitors. To the right of the dining area is the nice size kitchen with plenty of counter space as well as upper and lower cabinetry featuring under-mount lighting. To the side of the visitor bath is a stairwell up to the 2 large bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (one is en-suite). At the top of the stairs is a landing with floor-ceiling cabinetry for extra storage as well as a work station with desk area. A nice skylight over the stairwell brightens the area. The upstairs bedrooms each have great views and the master has nice closet space. . One of the main pluses about this home is the exterior area which has been converted to fully-functional extensions of the home about 4 years ago. Off the kitchen is a fully enclosed sun-room where you will find hookups for laundry along with custom cabinetry for extra storage. The sun-room just got a new roof back in August 2022. Walk out the sun-room and you pass the hot-water heater area and pass to an external "bodega" (storage closet). The entire exterior on this side has been enclosed and paved with a large section being covered to enjoy out-door seating in any type of weather. Outdoor bench seating in front of a bbq area flanked by a nice bar, make for great entertaining, year-round. This patio area features a nice herb garden and has been enclosed for privacy, with a door leading out to the parking spot. . The home sits on a 200 square meter corner lot and has a driveway spot for one vehicle. Located in a gated residential area comprised of a total of 14 homes, the main entrance has a remote control for privacy and security and the interior road is paved and lit at night. The home has a security system which hooks into a cell-phone application. There is a nice small common green space for all residents to enjoy. These are free-standing homes, so no mandatory HOA fee here, but all pitch in monthly $10 towards any common maintenance. . A gardener is available for $15/visit. Public electric and water meters are already assigned to the property for the new owner to easily transfer, and the home is hooked up to city sewer. Fiber optic internet is readily available. Annual property taxes as of 2022 are under $40. The home is being sold un-furnished with the exception of the stove and refrigerator. The entire exterior has just been repainted in October 2022. . This Conjunto of homes is located conveniently only a 5 minute walk to Parque San Francisco with easy access to banks, shops, restaurants and other services. .
