Undoubtedly the most unique property on the Ecuadorian northern highland market at this time, this is truly a one-of-a kind gem. Here, modern luxury is redefined offering a unique juxtaposition of natural serenity and deliberate comfort. . Tucked away nicely off the road into town, this stunning estate boasting close to 4000 square feet of total living space and an extensive yard extending over 2 hectares in various elevations, is securely positioned on a corner lot within a private complex. There are gated entrances on two sides of the property, a perimeter wall on the third, and a ravine – a natural border leading down a trail to the Yanayacu river on the back side. Access to the complex is controlled remotely from a cell phone. The home also has a security system with cameras, alarm, as well as motion detectors. . Be prepared to be awed by mother nature’s beauty enveloping the entire area. The 360-degree views are nothing short of breathtaking and to witness firsthand the multiple aspects of mounts Cotacachi and Imbabura all day long, is truly a luxurious privilege. The luxury continues to exude from the impeccably maintained grounds with thoughtful landscaping strategically surrounding the main residence adding color and depth while providing shade and privacy. . The main residence is all one level and has 2 bedrooms each with full ensuite baths, an office (potential third bedroom), half-bath, living room, dining area, huge open concept gourmet kitchen with pantry, laundry room and 2-car garage. . Upon entering through a gorgeous custom wrought-iron security door, you are immediately greeted by the grandeur of the foyer setting the tone for the entire home. High ceilings and open spaces abound and are best showcased in the central living room with the vaulted ceilings, electric fireplace, and large windows showering the interior with abundant light as well as glass door leading to the back patio. To the left of the living room you have a half-bathroom followed by an office which could easily convert to a small bedroom.

The main bedroom has attached a huge ensuite bathroom boasting soaking tub (again with amazing views), double sinks, gorgeous countertops, step-in shower, separate toilet area, and probably the largest walk-in closet in all of Cotacachi. .
