My beautiful home is for sale, Im living and working in Cuenca and must sell ! This home and area is a magical place
just outside the town of Cotacachi . It is a small, gated (short wall, not high wall) development of just 11 homes.
These are handmade traditional adobe homes with tile roofs, eucalyptus beams, large windows, and custom wood features. Expect some imperfections because of this; they are NOT luxury homes.
This three bedroom, 2.5 bath home is very comfortable, and in very good condition. Charm and unique features are~ niches in many walls, two chimineas-fireplaces, some wood shelving, custom cabinetry and a kitchen pantry are all part of this home.
( I will allow $500 for anyone who desires to change the rose colored exterior~ some love it some, not so much!)
This home features top of the line appliances, side-by side fridge, LG washer/dryer and 6 burner gas stove.
The floors are sealed adobe tile, wood beamed ceilings throughout the home, with glorious views of two large volcanoes~ . The homes' character and the gardens were lovingly attended to with a corral in back for horses, or animals, a garden area is possible. The home has two fireplaces,one in the master bedroom ~which is the entire top floor, plus huge terrace. The main floor has a large open floor plan with storage/pantry area. Two bedrooms which share a bath are on the main floor.And all The windows are very large allowing lovely views and light into every room.

The long-range views from the house and yard are glorious from almost every room in the house..ALLY!.. is surrounded by farms, and the small village of El Batan,..Spectacular views from the entire upstairs master bedroom, and terrace as you see in the photos.. I have put in many natural flora and I have planted herbs, fruit trees and flowers..is is a quiet and beautiful place to rest, retire, paint, write, pray or/ and enjoy the beautiful surrounding mountains on foot..tacachi on one side, Imbabura on the other.

The town of Cotacachi nearby, has shopping markets, small stores and restaurants, and is famous for leather goods. There are many expats from all round the world, and the weather is cool and temperate all year round. There are many good restuarants, a bookstore, and local events to enjoy around the town.
Many local hiking and adventurous folk enjoy exploring, helping in the community and working alongside the indigenous people. There are great places to visit and shop and accessible by bus or taxi such as Otavalo, only 15 minutes by bus,or, Ibarra which has more variety for shopping, and is only 25 minutes by bus/taxi.
There are many things to become involved in and starting a small business, or volunteering in areas like teaching, building, assisting in the community and areas surrounding are available.
The beach is about 3.5 hours away, and the town of Cotacachi is 2.5 hours from Quito airport.
