Long Description
Located within Hacienda San Joaquín, one of the Vilcabamba area's established private residential communities, this distinctive property combines modern construction, beautiful mountain surroundings, productive gardens, privacy, security, and a peaceful lifestyle.
Set on 2,091 m² (approximately 0.52 acres), the property offers approximately 307 m² (3,305 ft²) of enclosed construction, plus an impressive 226 m² of patios and surrounding outdoor areas.
The home enjoys beautiful views toward Mandango, the iconic mountain formation overlooking the Vilcabamba valley.
A spacious, architecturally interesting home
The residence combines reinforced concrete and masonry construction with warm natural elements, including wood flooring, wood ceilings and cabinetry, stonework, large windows, and generous indoor-outdoor spaces.
The main level encompasses approximately 307 m² (3,305 ft²).
The home includes four bathrooms, three with showers, as well as several flexible spaces that allow the property to adapt easily to different lifestyles.
One particularly interesting feature is the large upper-level room, currently used for meetings, yoga, workouts, and celebrations. With approximately 56 m² of space, it could potentially become a studio, wellness room, creative space, home office, guest area, or additional living quarters.
There is also a partially outdoor enclosed area with a combination of glass and mosquito screening, presently used for laundry and as a retreat for the dogs. With a dishwasher already installed, the space could alternatively make an excellent covered barbecue area, outdoor kitchen, or entertaining space.
Productive gardens & fruit trees
For anyone interested in gardening, sustainability, or growing their own food, the property already has an excellent foundation.
There are abundant vegetable gardens producing a wide variety of vegetables, supported by an irrigation system.
Numerous young fruit and useful trees have also been established throughout the property, including orange, pomelo, lemon, fig, cacao, mango, star fruit, papaya, banana, plátano, mulberry, mandarin, blueberry, guanábana, and neem.
As these trees continue to mature, the gardens should become increasingly lush and productive.
Perhaps the most remarkable natural feature is a magnificent old native tree, locally believed to be a Guachapelí, or Changue. This impressive mature tree is an important centerpiece of the property and something worth carefully preserving.
Private gated community
Hacienda San Joaquín offers something particularly valuable for buyers looking for the tranquility of country living without feeling isolated.
Entrance to the community is through a private security gate with on-site security, followed by approximately 2 km of private community road leading toward the property.
The property itself is fully fenced and has additional security infrastructure, including:
Six installed security cameras
Two additional cameras ready for installation
Panic-button alarm system
Controlled community access
Private road access
Infrastructure
The property has water and electricity, an irrigation system for the gardens, and a biodigester wastewater system.
The extensive outdoor areas, terraces, and patios provide plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining, gardening, and enjoying Vilcabamba's year-round outdoor lifestyle.
A nearby hiking trail provides another way to enjoy the surrounding mountains and natural landscape.
A property designed around the Vilcabamba lifestyle
What makes this home particularly interesting is the combination of features it offers.
With over half an acre of land, approximately 3,200 square feet of enclosed construction, productive gardens, numerous fruit trees, a remarkable mature native tree, beautiful Mandango views, substantial outdoor living areas, a large multipurpose room, extensive security infrastructure, and the privacy of Hacienda San Joaquín, this property offers an attractive combination of comfort, nature, and versatility.
It could work beautifully as a full-time family residence, retirement property, wellness-oriented home, or simply for someone seeking a comfortable and secure home surrounded by nature while remaining connected to the greater Vilcabamba community.
