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 is on this side of the home and is an enormous space with multiple windows for amazing in-bed views. Here there is access to the outside patio area. 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.
.
To the right of the living room on the other side of the home is a dining nook flanked by windows. Here is where you will find the amazing gourmet kitchen: all open-concept designed to north American standards. This kitchen oozes luxury not just because of the gorgeous Brazilian granite counters, but the modern layout and open flow make entertaining easy and simple. The stainless steel appliances will be conveyed with the home. The pantry is nice and large and conveniently located in between fridge and sink, which has nice views for while you wash dishes. Off the kitchen there is a second large bedroom again flanked with floor-ceiling windows with door opening out onto the patio. A large ensuite bath is quite comfortable. Around the corner is a large laundry room, just off the covered 2-car garage. Here is a great place to store tools or bicycles as the there is an automatic door opener.
.
There is a 300 square foot out-building on the premise currently being used as a chicken coop, which has been plumbed for water and electric. Adjacent to the coop is a fenced-in feeding area. A bit further up there is a large vegetable garden for personal consumption measuring almost 1000 square feet.
.
The location is really special. You feel like you are miles away from anyone yet downtown Cotacachi is only a 10-minute ride away. Also well known for its leather goods and handicrafts, Cotacachi has seen a steady increase in tourism and foreign investment over the last several years. The town center has multiple coffee shops, small restaurants, leather shoppes, amongst other small businesses. The cobblestoned 10 de Agosto Street (also known as “Leather Street”) is a fantastic representation of the plethora of opportunities that can be had.
.
The population of Cotacachi has also been on the rise with now over 20,000 inhabitants of which there is a large Expat percentage. Cotacachi’s elevation (7933 feet) contributes in part to the wonderful springlike climate year-round which ranges from 55-75 degrees (F). There is a large indigenous population in Cotacachi and the surrounding areas making for a vibrant cultural experience.
.
Cotacachi is located about an hour and a half from Quito, Ecuador’s capital and hub for shopping, medical facilities, educational and cultural experiences. An attractive plus is the award-winning international airport in Quito which offers connecting flights to Ecuador’s two other international airports (Manta and Guayaquil) as well as popular local destinations such as Cuenca.
.
We will be happy to proportion additional information to qualified buyers.
.
Welcome Home!! Cotacachi: You know you want to be here.
