Canoa, San Vicente, Manabí, Ecuador
Travel north on Ecuador’s Pacific Coast and you will find that while the beaches remain incredibly beautiful, the landscape slowly changes from lower-lying dry coastal shrub to foothills, sometimes dramatic cliffs, and lush mountain forests. In the province of Manabi, just north of Bahía de Caraquez, is the beach town of Canoa. Just two kilometers inland you will find this magical place full of peace, tranquility, and harmony with nature. “Living green” is all about balancing human civilization with protecting and preserving the earth’s natural resources, habitats, and biodiversity. Imagine living on this farm on five hectares (that’s 50,000 square meters!) surrounded by a 90% virgin forest, good neighbors, and people committed to green living and caring for this amazing environment. In addition there is a newly built 861-square-foot house designed in a rustic style that blends perfectly with its natural setting. The house features a living and dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a large balcony, and has all basic services such as water, electricity, internet, and surveillance cameras. The property has its own 10 KW light transformer, fiber optic internet, drinking water system in optimal condition, and the access road in perfect condition. The home comes furnished with refrigerator, dishes, 2 beds, 1 dining table, and wardrobe closet. There are more than 200 types of plants and trees planted on the access road, including palm, ornamental, and fruit trees, and various other exotic flora. Two hectares are ready to grow any type of fruit trees, and the other three hectares remain virgin forest, which is part of a much larger area and is home to a colony of the howler monkey and many other native species. This farm is located just two kilometers from popular Canoa Beach and all the restaurants, bars, and beach-centered activities it is known for, and is only 20 minutes away from a public hospital, IESS, banks, and shops of all kinds. Manta’s airport is just an hour’s drive away. This property has the perfect combination of access to convenience while maintaining its calm and quiet environment. Surround yourself with a biodiverse location with a perfect warm and dry climate, and live a sustainable lifestyle that works with nature rather than against it, and the beauty of this place will feed your soul while you’re doing it!
