This property is a hidden treasure, tucked away in the quiet beach town of Curia. The property belongs to a humble family from Quito who has owned it for 30 years. The entrance to 13,000 square meters of precious sacred land is directly on the highway (Ruta de Spondylus) as you’re entering Curia. It is a prime location, accessible and just a two-minute walk to the beach. Curia’s beach is one of the quieter ones, most of the year it will feel like you’re on your own private beach! However, Curia shares the same beach as Olon, so if you walk or bike down, you’re in all the action! Walking up the gravel road to the land, you’re in for a special treat! The first sight you’ll see is a small wooden cabaña, with a separate kitchen made by the family who own it. The family promotes bio construction, a style based on sustainability and the use of local material to its region, thus attempting to use entirely natural materials such as earth, sand, rocks, plants, and even recyclable material such as tires, plastic/glass bottles etc. The kitchen demonstrates this, and has been used as a place for workshops and to teach others on this style of building. In fact, the owners have hosted groups from different parts of the country for these workshops. Directly next to the cabaña is an out door workshop area with a clay oven perfect for making bread, pizza etc. The family has invested many years and TLC (tender loving care) to Lomas de Curia, reforesting the property, which is also home to different species of birds and other animals. Lomas de Curia has a spectacular view of the ocean, town of Olon, and mountains. Lomas de Curia is an ideal agricultural property, and ideal for any ecological building or project aimed at promoting alternative & healthy living!
