This is more than a property—it’s a chance to own a thriving eco-retreat in one of the most extraordinary places on earth. Just outside the town of Mindo, nestled within five acres of private reserve, stands a fully operational cloud forest resort where rustic architecture and modern sustainability come together. Every structure on the property has been handcrafted from sustainably harvested local timber. Wide-planked hardwood floors, beamed ceilings, wooden walls, and stone accents create a sense of timeless craftsmanship—spaces that are warm, natural, and refined. Guests step into an environment that feels both grounded in tradition and elevated in comfort. Currently operating as a boutique hotel with two decades of success, the property is equally suited for new visions: a yoga and wellness retreat, a conservation hub, a private family compound, or a unique eco-business. With its established systems and reputation, it offers both the dream of lifestyle ownership and the assurance of proven operations. The Heart of the Resort At its center, the three-story main lodge serves as both a guest hub and a private residence. The ground floor welcomes visitors with a reception, retail space, guest lounge, dining room, commercial kitchen, laundry, and restrooms. The second floor houses a four-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment complete with kitchen, office, and living space—perfect for owner residence or staff housing. The top level opens into a panoramic observation deck, a gathering space designed for yoga, dance, or group retreats with polished hardwood floors and sweeping canopy views. Four private cabins complement the lodge. Three two-story cabins provide six guest units, each with private balconies at tree level and bathrooms featuring oversized stone soaking tubs. A family bungalow designed for six includes two bedrooms, spacious bathrooms on both floors, a work area, and a balcony that feels suspended in the forest itself. A Model of Sustainability This resort is more than eco-friendly—it is eco-integrated. Energy is supplied by solar panels with a smart inverter, two natural springs provide abundant water, kitchen waste is composted on-site, and human waste is treated through a methane-free vermifilter. These systems protect the land, reduce costs, and align the property with the values of today’s sustainability-focused traveler. The Climate & Setting Situated at 1,400 meters (4,600 feet), the property enjoys a year-round spring-like climate, with temperatures ranging between 16–26°C (60–78°F). It is close enough to Mindo’s town center for convenience, yet deeply immersed in the natural quiet of the forest. Mindo itself is internationally known for birdwatching, chocolate production, and ecotourism. Located in the UNESCO-designated Chocó Andino Biosphere Reserve, it is a global biodiversity hotspot and a gateway to both the Galápagos Islands and the Amazon. Lifestyle Meets Investment Owning this property means stepping into a lifestyle most people only dream about—waking to birdsong, walking forest trails, hosting retreats, or simply living with family in a sanctuary of wood, stone, and green. But it also means acquiring a well-established business: over 20 years of proven operation, a loyal guest base, and turn-key infrastructure ready to support conferences, retreats, wellness programs, or continued hotel management. Ecuador’s USD-based economy and low cost of living add financial stability, while the growing demand for sustainable, experience-driven travel ensures a promising future for eco-hospitality. Whether your vision is personal, professional, or both, this property delivers. A Rare Opportunity Few places offer this balance: architectural beauty, ecological integrity, lifestyle appeal, and operational readiness. This is not simply a property for sale—it is an invitation to create something extraordinary in the Ecuadorian cloud forest.
