Home for Sale in Vilcabamba, Loja, Ecuador

Beautiful Home in Ecuador's Best Development

This lovely home is located in Hacienda San Joaquin, Vilcabamba's high-end development, reputably the best in Ecuador.

Vilcabamba is located in the southernmost province of Ecuador in Loja, 42 kms (27 miles) south of the City of Loja. Loja is an easy 50-minute plane ride from Quito, Ecuador’s capitol. The picturesque valley of Vilcabamba is situated approximately 1500 meters (5000 feet) above sea level in the majestic Andes Mountains. Being in the center of the world, it maintains a spring-like temperature of 18° to 28° Celsius (65° to 82° F) year-round.

Known as the Sacred Valley, Vilcabamba has been variously called "The Land of Eternal Youth," "The Valley of Peace and Tranquility," and "The Lost Paradise."

One of the most beautiful places in the world, Vilcabamba’s greatest assets are its beauty, peace and tranquility, warm and friendly people, pure air, wholesome foods, and extraordinary climate. It is a magnificent place to live, retire, have a vacation home, or investment property. Vilcabamba attracts people from all over the world.

The home, 2,200 square feet (includes porch, carport and garden room), has two bedrooms, two baths, a large loft, living room, dining room, kitchen, pantry, laundry room, large front porch, beautiful detached carport and adjoining garden/tool room.

It is finished beautifully with very attractive heavy wood columns on the porch, traditional-colored ceramic tile floors, rich granite counter tops, exposed beam/wood ceilings, custom-made solid-wood arched windows and doors, modern bathrooms and kitchens (and appliances), custom cabinets, five skylights, and a barrel-tile roof. This solidly built home (concrete, steel, stucco, plaster, etc.) was made the way homes used to be made.

The Lot, .38 acres, is surrounded by hillsides and stone walls on three sides. The open side of the property (front) faces south. Behind the home are two terraces perfect for gardening and/or other uses. The property has a very pleasant intimate and private feel to it. The price is $225,000. Most people feel it is underpriced.

Visit the web site (see below) for Hacienda San Joaquin. This home is on Lot 6. At the web site, have a look at the "Glimpses." The web site is at VilcabambaHomes dot com. Other homes and Lots are available. Some homes are shown in the "Glimpses." The web site has a map that shows the entire development and what properties are available.

I apologize for some of the photos showing up sideways. I have no idea what that happens on this web site.
