Estate with 3 European-Style Houses

This amazing offer includes three Euro-styled houses — Belgium built, owned, and operated — with a clean and clear deed of title ready for transfer. The homes sit on 5.9 acres (2.4 hectares) of off-grid land in the Yunguilla Valley, near the village of Lentag.

The three houses and the land are being offered together as one package deal. This property is ideal for an off-the-beaten-path homesteader or a group of like-minded friends seeking a large enough estate to live sustainably and in harmony with nature, surrounded by breathtaking 360-degree views.

The property features abundant orchards, gardens, and a coffee plantation. It’s located just off the paved road, with a ¼-mile private driveway. There is also a deeded 500,000-liter water reservoir. Included in the sale is a separately deeded parcel above the main house that has another reservoir and is ready for expansion, additional planting, or the construction of more homes. This additional parcel could also be sold in the future if you prefer to keep only the main property.

The main house offers 2,000 sq. ft. of living space with a large open-concept design and a modern Scandinavian-style great room. It has two bedrooms and an office that could easily be converted into a third bedroom, along with two full bathrooms, a guest bathroom, a pantry, a laundry room, and a covered terrace.

A beautiful 1,100 sq. ft. two-bedroom guest house sits on a nearby hill with a spacious porch and scenic views. It features open-concept living with a bright kitchen, dining area, and living room, one bathroom, and a laundry/pantry area. Additionally, there is a cozy two-bedroom, 700 sq. ft. casita with a living area, kitchenette, and private bathrooms for each bedroom.

This secluded, private estate sits at an elevation of 1,700 meters (5,577 ft) and includes approximately 1,500 Arabica coffee plants and an extensive orchard with five varieties of bananas, avocados, 20 mandarin trees, Sutil limes, oranges, grapefruit, mangoes, maracuyás, papayas, lemons, babaco, plantains, and agave. There’s ample space for large vegetable gardens, and corn and beans are already planted. Two greenhouses, a chicken coop with around 100 chickens, rabbits, ducks, and space for goats, llamas, alpacas, sheep, and other small livestock are also on-site.

A workshop for coffee processing is located down the hill from the homes, near a large, park-like flat area perfect for gardens and outdoor seating. A secure bodega for tools and a covered parking area are included. The enclosed pump house has a 1,100-liter tank for potable water supplied by the Agua Potable system and delivered to the homes via a pressure system.

Three separate calafons provide hot water, and the main houses also have a solar water heater. There is a reverse osmosis system for drinking water. The large upper reservoir holds 500,000 liters of irrigation water, and an irrigation system is already in place for the landscaped areas, orchards, and coffee plants. Both potable and irrigation water are abundant — a major advantage for country living.

The main house, guest house, casita, and bodega are fully powered by two separate solar systems — 12 kW and 14 kW setups, with 6 kW and 9.6 kW battery banks — and an existing grid connection as backup. High-speed fiber internet ensures modern connectivity.

Located only 1.5 hours from Cuenca, a UNESCO World Heritage city, this 9-year-old property’s main house and casita were renovated and retrofitted just one year ago. The guest house was newly built in 2022 and is perfect for anyone seeking peace, privacy, and a sustainable lifestyle close to a vibrant city.

Yunguilla enjoys an ideal climate with an average year-round temperature of 70°F. The elevation is perfect at 5,700 feet — below the fog line but above the heat and insects found in lower areas.

The valley is famous for its lush scenery, misty mountains, and fertile farmland. It offers excellent hiking trails, world-class birdwatching, horseback riding, cloud forests, and waterfalls in nearby Girón. The region is also known for its sugarcane-based liquor produced by local distilleries and is a favorite area for both wealthy Ecuadorians and foreign residents.

This exceptional property — featuring three modern Euro-style homes on 5.9 acres of sustainable, off-grid land, plus an additional deeded parcel with a reservoir — is offered at $699,000.
