Long Description
The property has 40 hectares of untouched jungle, 50 hectares of well-developed pasture, and the additional 10 hectares which include; four fish ponds suitable for tilapia and trout, a cuy house, a rabbit pen, a hen house, coral, and shelter for breeding hogs, shelter, and equipment for sugar cane processing, as well as 4 dwellings. It is located on a well-maintained gravel road and features hiking trails, a waterfall, an abundant, private water source; and plantations of maracuya, bananas, yucca, sugarcane, papa china, and citrus trees just to name a few of its incredible offerings. If you are looking for a remote, completely self-sustained exotic home or guest house, this incredible property will exceed all of your expectations. Known as Rancho Zion this 100 hectare (247-acre) farm is located in Morona Santiago, Ecuador between the villages of Chiviaza and El Pescado. The houses on the property are built with local rainforest lumber. Construction is typical of the region. This is a working farm, so there are animals to tend to and milking cows. Making cheese out of the plentiful milk is also a wonderful activity. There is a kitchen garden where nearly any kind of vegetable or herb grows. There are trails to hike and improve if you are handy with a machete. And you can catch your own trout or tilapia for dinner in the beautiful fish ponds. The finca includes a "Big House" which is 1352 sq ft, and has four bedrooms and two baths. One of the finest features of this primitive-style home is a recently built professional kitchen and about 20 sq meters of pantry storage. There is also a Guest House that is 586.5 sq ft, and just a short walk from the Big House. It is a single unit and includes, a private kitchen, 1 bathroom, 2 bedrooms, a sitting area, and a big front porch. Additionally, there is a Party Pavillion (414 sq ft) and a Casita (867 sq ft.) Rancho Zion serves as a gateway for adventures to explore the upper Amazon, hike jungle trails, splash in sacred waterfalls, learn about regional botanicals, see exotic, tropical birds, visit ancient petroglyphs, and an astronomical observatory, go horseback riding and taste the flavor of Amazonian cuisine while learning about ancient herbal remedies. At the end of a stimulating day, you can lay back in the hammock, relax with a gin and tonic made from real cinchona bark, smell the palo santo (a native Ecuadorian tree which translated means “holy wood,” that has been burned as an energy cleanser for centuries by indigenous cultures. The ritual comes from Incan tradition that says the smoke from the wood, burned during spiritual ceremonies, is medicinal.) The fragrant evening air and the shimmering stars will soothe all your senses. And, there is a telescope to gaze into the Southern night sky -- which with no ambient light -- is a sight to behold. The current owners work the farm, but also use it as a remote guest retreat and offer accommodations in both the Big House, and the Guest House. They have also created a campground for hikers passing through this tropical paradise. Local activities include tours of the Petroglyphs, orchid hunting, bird watching, fishing, cheese making, hiking, and trekking through the rainforest or simply relaxing surrounded by some of the most stunning natural surroundings in South America. Environmentalists' excursions and eco and agro-tourism could easily be done here. However, this is also an ideal completely sustainable, self-sufficient, and amazing live-off-the-land farm and property for those of you with adventurous spirits and a yearning to be "away from it all." There is 110 electric service and good Internet service (no cellular signal). This 100 hectare, self-sufficient Amazon rainforest Finca is being sold complete with furnishings, farm equipment, and livestock for an asking price of only $250,000.
