- Description:
Looking to slow down, live off the land, or enjoy year-round sunshine in one of Ecuador’s most beautiful valleys? This lovingly built and fully furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in Yunguilla might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
Set on over 1/3 of an acre in a peaceful community of just four lots, this modern country retreat is designed for both comfort and sustainability. With a European style-design and quality, the home features high-end finishes, solar water heating, and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
Inside, you’ll find:
• A bright, open layout with approx. 140m² (1,500+ sq ft) of one-level living
• Two spacious bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms with German fixtures, hidden tank toilets, and walk-in glass showers
• A fully stocked kitchen, complete with cookware, dishes, and all the tools you need
• Custom wood doors with security locks, plus new plumbing, wiring, and mosquito screens
• A separate laundry room, a separate workshop with all the tools you will need to upkeep the property, and an attic storage space
But the real magic is outside.
The property is a fruit lover’s paradise, with countless mature trees — including coffee, guanabana, chirimoya, banana, orange, mango, lemon, and maracuyá. There’s also a greenhouse for your veggies, and an irrigation system throughout the entire property that keeps everything thriving. The setting is quiet and green, with beautiful valley and mountain views in every direction.
Practical, Efficient, and Low-Cost Living
• Monthly utilities are incredibly affordable: ~$2/month for water, ~$9 for electricity, and ~$21 for fast internet (250 Mbps)
• Gas tanks delivered to your door for just $2.75 each
• Septic system with special bacteria allows for paper flushing (a rare plus!)
• Public transport is easy — the bus stops right outside three times a day
• Property tax is only $9/year if you qualify for the senior discount
• Located in a rural zone so you can build a second story without permits
Located in Girón Cantón, just off a paved road on the way to La Asunción, you’ll have easy access to services, and a great local notary that’s far more affordable than those in Cuenca. Neighbors are friendly and often share things like produce and homemade goods.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
This home is perfect for someone who wants to live simply, comfortably, and close to nature — whether full-time, seasonally, or as a peaceful retreat. It’s a true move-in ready property where you can show up with a suitcase and start enjoying the good life from day one.
