Description

Nestled in the charming countryside of Uzhupud, this enchanting, fully furnished property spans over 2000 square meters and offers multiple dwellings. It includes a beautifully designed one-bedroom main home with a sprawling terrace that boasts breathtaking views of the Andes Mountains. Additional features include a cozy guest house, a serene meditation and yoga retreat, an inviting outdoor living room under a thatched-roof cabana, and a large workshop with ample storage space. The estate also features a laundry room and a spacious, flat green area, ideal for sports or further development into a swimming pool, casitas, or other entertainment spaces.

Located in the sought-after neighborhood of Uzhupud, just 10 minutes from Paute and 40 minutes from Cuenca, this property is a favorite among both affluent Ecuadorians and expats. The 63.4-square-meter main house showcases an open-concept design with a living and dining area, a well-equipped kitchen featuring an eat-in bar and generous storage, and a beautifully tiled bathroom. The tranquil bedroom opens onto the expansive terrace, perfect for al fresco dining while enjoying views of the lush garden, the Andes, and the verdant lawn, which currently serves as a croquet field. A majestic 100-year-old King Palm tree graces the landscape, adding both shade and natural beauty.

The estate's gated entry and striking red exterior evoke a sense of calm and comfort. With rustic stone and tile accents, wooden beams, bamboo ceilings, and authentic wood details, the property exudes a warm, country-chic ambiance. The setting feels like stepping back in time, creating an inviting and serene retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of the Andean Mountains.

A second guest house, measuring 36.04 square meters, features a cozy sitting area with views of the lush gardens filled with lemon trees, hibiscus, roses, and aloe vera. The guest house includes an additional room with a pull-out couch, a desk area, and a tiled bathroom. A covered walkway connects the guest house to the main home, offering the potential to combine the two structures into a single, larger residence.

A short stroll along a fieldstone path leads to a private meditation and yoga retreat, nestled among mature trees, offering the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and spiritual practices. The landscaped gardens feature "secret" sitting areas, lemon trees, and flowering shrubs, with plenty of room to plant additional fruit trees. A large barn, currently used as a workshop, offers versatile space and reflects the owner's commitment to North American construction standards.

The property also includes a vegetable garden ready for planting, a charming thatched-roof cabana ideal for social gatherings, a covered carport, additional parking space, and a storage area housing utilities. The estate is equipped with two water systems—one for drinking water and another for irrigation—along with a spring-fed stream and a septic system with three distribution tanks.

This idyllic home is part of a small, exclusive gated lane with only four other properties, all owned by prominent Ecuadorian families. The private lane is secure, with electronic entry gates, and the neighborhood is known for its safety and tranquility. Nearby, the renowned Uzhupud Gardens offers a luxury hotel, a global orchid farm, fine dining, horseback riding, swimming, and other amenities.

Conveniently located just 40 minutes from Cuenca, Ecuador’s cultural capital, the property offers easy access to world-class restaurants, supermarkets, and entertainment options. The vibrant town of Paute, only 10 minutes away, provides grocery stores, pharmacies, a hospital, and a lively Mercado.

This extraordinary Uzhupud country home, offered fully furnished, is listed at $275,000. The sale includes select furnishings and appliances, with additional items available for negotiation.
