Cuenca, Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador
A brand new fully furnished condo in an exclusive gated community on the rim of El Cajas National Park has just been put on the market. This glorious, one-bedroom, one-bath 1000 square foot corner condo is built to North American standards with a fireplace, heated floors, open concept living, and dining areas, and an outdoor patio. The condo is one of the biggest and best now available in the complex, perfect as a deluxe Andes home or as weekend getaways, vacation rental, or investment property. Located in Valle Encantado, the condo is safely nestled in a high-end development consisting of two, 2-unit condo buildings surrounding inner courtyards, and two separate homes set on 10 acres of prime forest and riverfront land with views rivaling any in the world. And, with a recent restriction on all new buildings in the El Cajas National Park region, due to its UNESCO Biosphere status, this high-end development is the last complex that can be built in this area … a major consideration for buyers looking for solid returns on investment.
The condo has an open concept floor plan with upgrades that include 50 Mega Etapa Fiber Internet, Peruvian Travertine floors with radiant heat, large fieldstone fireplaces, tongue, and groove woodwork, cathedral ceilings with open rafters, granite-top kitchen islands, plus small Flagstone patios. It also has million-dollar views. The windows are vinyl clad with Tempered and laminated security glass, UV protection, and sound blocks that ensure peace and quiet inside your home. The units also include 8′ solid wooden doors, baseboards, extension jams, and casings made out of solid wood, plus granite sills under all of the doors and windows. The gated community—with 24-hour security, an electric entry gate, and multiple camera security systems–is safe and secure, yet within walking distance to nature’s bounty. Known for its incredible hiking paths through evergreen cloud forests and for its hundreds of lakes and lagoons, El Cajas National Park is home to rich wildlife including Andean condors, giant hummingbirds, llamas, wild horses, and raccoon-like coatis. Trout fishing, bird watching, exploring Incan ruins, biking, and just relaxing are all that you can expect when you live or vacation in one of the most unspoiled mountain retreats in the world. The HOA for the unit is approximately $160 per month and covers sewer and solid waste disposal, security, land maintenance, management fees and insurance on the exterior of the complexes. This brand new fully furnished condo in an exclusive gated community on the rim of El Cajas National Park is listed for $170,000.
