Off the Grid Farm with River and Spring for Sale in Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador

55 Hectares / 136 Acre Off the Grid Farm with River & Spring

Only 35 minutes from the city of Cuenca. There are 55 Hectares (136 Acres) of mountain property with views of nothing but nature. It has about a mile of river frontage, a virgin forest with a variety of animal life, and many pasture areas connected by dirt roads which could easily accommodate 20 home site. A reservoir is stocked with large trout.

If you could only use one word to describe this property it would be INDEPENDENCE. The property has a huge fresh water spring that has a very high volume of water flowing out of it all year long. No neighbors drive by the property because it is at the end of the road. There is a ruff finish, yet solid, wooden house of about 900 SQFT with a metal roof which does a great job of keeping the water out. It was built from wood from trees which grow on the land. There are some rare species of very nice hardwood trees growing on the property.

The property is completely energy independent and has clean steady power. Because of the high volume of water from the spring on the property and the fact that the spring is located near the top of a hill, there is plenty of water volume and pressure to produce electricity. Two generators are located near the river. One is a turbine/generator in a metal box which has been working for the last 30 years without any maintenance other than replacing the brushes. It's output is 120 Volts and provides 3 Kilowatts of power. This generator is not being used because there is only one set of wires going up to the house and they are connected to the bigger generator which is in the generator shack nearby.
