Farm for Sale in Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador

Secluded Farm for Self-Sufficient Living on 4 Hectares

Asking Price: 245,000 USD

(Negotiable • Financing available)

Are you concerned about the increasing violence, political turmoil and erratic weather in the US and around the world?

Would you like to become self-sufficient in a mild climate where you can grow food year-round?

Most people hear little of Ecuador. The climate, currency (US dollar) and country is stable.

Ecuador is a safe place to live. The only real violence is perpetrated by the Narcos toward other criminals along the coastal region. The general population, especially in these Andes mountains, is left to live a life of their choosing.

Here is your opportunity to live on a secluded farm in paradise yet is only just over an hour beautiful drive to the UNESCO historic city of Cuenca.

This lovely farm property with stunning views all around, has excellent grassland for livestock, good fencing, reservoir for irrigation, dairy goat sheds, small pine tree forest, beautiful custom studio apartment with attached two car garage, three ready building sites, storage sheds, and all utilities installed.

The basic cost of living in Ecuador is about 1/3 the cost of the US.

On this farm the potable water costs only $2 per month! Electricity for two people typically runs about $25/mo, good internet is about $35/mo, good cell phone service is about $25/mo per line, and the annual property taxes for this farm are about $25.

This Andes mountain region offers a stable climate and you will never have to experience another cold northern winter if you choose. This is where altitude meets the equator which translates into a mild climate and a twelve month food growing season.

Whether you are a prepper or an agricultural enthusiast these 4 hectares (almost 10 acres) are not only beautiful with gorgeous views but can sustain your family.

With plenty of solar and seasonal wind you can be off-the-grid if you choose. This secluded property has great internet, electricity, and potable water installed. Cell service is very good.

The current owner was building a small agricultural farm with dairy cows, dairy goats, & chickens. The delicious milk products were enthusiastically purchased by loyal customers in the nearby thriving city of Cuenca.

The idea was also to build a few small cabins to Airbnb for people wanting to experience a slice of country life in Ecuador.

This property has rights to plentiful agricultural water (over 40 hours per week) with a reservoir and irrigation lines. The twelve month per year food growing cycle allows you to grow a plethora of products. Cool weather crops during the wet season and warm weather crops during the dry season.

A good sized terrace is set in a hillside ready for a greenhouse and outdoor gardens. A greenhouse was planned to be built geothermal earth battery style to use the earth for warm and cool temperature storage depending on the season.

The studio apartment is light and airy with custom windows all around, custom wood kitchen cabinets with granite countertops and island, and many other custom features. The studio apartment can easily be expanded into part or all of the 2 car garage.

The current trustworthy farm manager speaks excellent English and can continue to help with the farm work, if you would like. He has been a great help for many years at reasonable cost and knows everything about this farm. He is highly respected in the neighborhood and is the community president. I highly recommend his knowledgeable help.

Owner financing may be considered and the price is negotiable with the right buyer.

Imagine having the security of your own small farm far away from political conflict, frequent shootings, blizzards, mega storms, excessive heat or cold, wildfires, etc.

A safety valve of sorts where you can grow your food supply and the government does not burden you with excessive regulation.

When this land was purchased it was only grassland and broken down fences. I fixed the property line fencing, installed electric cross fencing for the dairy cows, dug the reservoir and lined it with special PVC lining, installed all the irrigation lines (an amazing story to share!), put in the underground electricity, installed the potable water pipelines, prepared 4 building sites and a garden terrace, and built all the structures (goat sheds, chicken house, tool sheds, & building with the custom studio apartment and 2 car garage).

While I did love the countryside living and miss my wonderful Jersey cows, entertaining dairy goats, & productive egg chickens - my life went in a different direction and sadly this farm is no longer part of my daily life.

Feel free to check out this secluded farm in paradise. I have been living in Ecuador for many years. While no place is perfect, the climate, people and modest cost of living have surpassed my expectations. Contact me with any questions and for more details.
