If you travel along the coast of Ecuador, you discover scores of fishing villages, a few larger towns, and absolutely gorgeous scenery, from miles-long stretches of white sandy beaches to mountains with lush, tropical foliage, to dramatic cliffs, all overlooking the blue waters of the Pacific. Each area has its own unique vibe, providing opportunity to fulfill every desire for fun, food, adventure or relaxation.
On the northern coast, just 25 miles north of Manta – the most populated city in the Manabi Province – is the town of Crucita. Crucita enjoys a long stretch of beach with hillsides perfectly shaped to create the ideal launch points for parasailing and paragliding. So perfect, in fact, that it has become a world famous destination hot-spot for those enthusiasts. As a result, what was once a sleepy little fishing village has attracted people from around the world to its shores.
Of course, you don’t have to defy gravity to enjoy the ideal weather, the beautiful beaches, or the spectacular sunsets that Crucita enjoys! This small, but vibrant, community also boasts some beautiful homes, and we are pleased to offer one of the most unique and luxurious villas along this beautiful expanse of coastline.
Right on the ocean front, this spectacular 8,956 square foot home rests on a 10,036 square foot lot that runs from street to street. This is actually three lots. Its two main stories include a grand entrance to the main living room. Also found on this floor is a spacious kitchen and expansive office. There are four bedrooms on this level, each with its own private en-suite bathroom. The largest of these bedrooms even has a separate kitchen area, making it a true luxury retreat. The upper level is designed to focus on the spectacular ocean views. There is a large lounge/living area, dining area, and spacious kitchen with a separate pantry room. These main living areas all overlook the impressive terrace and covered Jacuzzi area that, in turn, look out over the thatched-roofed pavilion and the promenade that fronts the beach. There is a media room off of the lounge, and two more bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one of which enjoys a beautiful ocean view of its own.
Long Description
The terrace area is sure to become a favorite spot, whether it be enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning, or soaking in the Jacuzzi with a cocktail in hand while watching the sunset in the evenings. Accessed from stairs at one end of the terrace, the third story is a potential seventh bedroom, or a den or hobby room, as well as, a perfect look-out for spotting whales or viewing ships and fishing boats as they pass by.
The pavilion is a large outdoor space among the lush landscaping. It would be perfect for outdoor entertaining, with the paved garden pathway widening to become the pavilion’s floor. Just beyond the pavilion is the raised promenade, reached by way of an elegant, wide staircase. The promenade is surrounded by a classic balustrade and provides views of the beach below and the ocean beyond, perfect for sharing a kiss at sunset. The grounds of this property are fanciful, exotic, and romantic, and must be seen to be believed.
Originally built as a private home in 2010, it was remodeled in 2017, and the owners separated the downstairs and created two one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments, and one two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment. This was planned in a way that it could easily be converted back to one large dwelling. So you have the option to live in the entire sumptuous and elegant villa, or live on the impressive upper level and rent out the lower apartments for additional income. It could also be perfect for an exclusive hostel with restaurant, with the lower level living room and office becoming a dining area and conference room. Appliances are included with the purchase of this property. Furnishings not included in sale price, but can be negotiated.
