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.
