Fruit Paradise & Spacious Home

Escape to the tranquility of the Ecuadorian countryside with nearly 3 hectares (7.2 acres) of land, a spacious and furnished four-bedroom house, a pool & entertainment area, a tilapia pond, and hundreds of fruit trees! If you’re looking for a property where you can enjoy a leisurely lifestyle and host friends while still taking part in cultivating your own fruit orchard, this property is for you!

The single-level 330-m2 home was built about 15 years ago with a reinforced concrete foundation, a steel structure, and exposed brick walls. The home has 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen with a breakfast area on the spacious island. The kitchen boasts granite countertops and lots of cabinet space.

Outside of the home there are large covered patios that are used outdoor living spaces for lounging and dining. Right off the patio is the pool (6 x 10 m) with a hydromassage and a smaller children’s sized pool. Next to the pool is a giant, very complete outdoor kitchen perfect for entertaining guests outside. It has a large oven and a built-in dining table. There’s even an outdoor bathroom for those hanging out outside.

The gardens around the house are home to a variety of ornamental plants and charming features like a gazebo, a water well, and a shower shaped like a tree-trunk. Behind the house is a play area for children with swings and a large wooden playhouse. On the lower level of the property there is a volleyball court. Next to the court is the area for farm animals – a chicken coop and a tilapia pond with a capacity for 500 tilapias.

A large bulk of the property has about 600 fruit trees, most of which are oranges, but there are also mango, avocado, sweet lemon, guarana, sapote, coffee, plum, and soursop trees. All the land is very useable – you can build another house or plant more delicious trees or crops.

The property is hooked up to three sources of water – two potable water sources and one for irrigation. The entire property is equipped with a large drip irrigation network to water the gardens and trees. There is also a 5000-liter reservoir for potable water on the land.

It is located about 12 kilometers from Catamayo (15 minutes by car), 38 kilometers from Vilcabamba (40 minutes by car), and just 2 minutes away from El Tambo. This means that the Loja-Catamayo airport is less than a 15-minute drive away! El Tambo is known for its fertile soil, warmer climate, and easy access to abundant water!
