The Property

Exquisite luxury rural finca for that exceptional lifestyle.

Undoubtedly one of the most unique and prestigious rural properties on the Ecuadorian northern highland market. Modern North American quality luxury is redefined offering a unique juxtaposition of natural serenity and domestic comfort. Tucked away nicely off a main route into town, this stunning estate home boasts close to 400 m2 (4,100 sf) of living space and an extensive yard and lands extending over 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) spread over various levels of terrain. The property is located within a small complex of private rural lots (no HOA) with mixed nationalities of ownership. There are gated entrances on two sides of the property, with a perimeter wall on two sides. To the rear a ravine forms a natural secure border with a rock paved road leading down to the Yanayaku River, extending the property footprint into Quebrada Pisangillu. Be prepared to be awed by mother nature's beauty enveloping the entire property in 360 degree wonder. The views of Mama Cotacachi and Taita Imbabura volcanoes are nothing short of breathtaking. To witness the multiple aspects of both volcanoes 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 colour and depth while providing shade, privacy and bird habitat. The residence is all on one level and has two large bedrooms each with full ensuite baths and closets, an office/study with potential to create a third bedroom, a half bath, living room, dining area, huge open concept gourmet kitchen with pantry, laundry room to the rear, a storage area, and large 2-car garage.

Upon entering the property via a covered front patio through a gorgeous custom wrought iron security door, you are immediately greeted with 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 filling the interior with abundant light as well as glass doors leading to the rear covered patio. To the left of the living room you have a half bathroom followed by an office. The main bedroom is on this wing of the home and is an enormous opulent space with multiple windows for amazing in-bed views. Here we find access to the outside patio area. The main bedroom is attached to a huge ensuite bathroom boasting soaking tub with amazing views of Taita Imbabura and the foothills below, double sinks, gorgeous countertops, step in shower, separate toilet, and a large walk in closet with ample storage.

To the right of the living room on the other wing is a dining nook flanked by large windows. Here you can find the amazing gourmet kitchen, an 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 sold with the home. The pantry is nice and large and conveniently located between fridge and sink. Off the kitchen area is the second/guest bedroom again flanked on two sides with huge windows., ample closets and a separate door to the patio. A large ensuite bathroom offers yet more comfort.

The property has a 28 m2 (300 sf) outbuilding with power, light and water, which houses two separate chicken coops, fenced runs and a storage area. The property has a 350 m2 (3,800sf) vegetable garden for personal consumption as well as numerous different fruit trees (such as chirimoya, lime, lemon, fig, peach, plum, guajava, mandarin, naranjilla, and nectarine) spread across this area. The home has a security system as well as cameras, entry sensors, motion detectors, high security deadlocks, app controlled garage doors, and security glass. The infrastructure benefits from high speed (900mbps) fiber optic internet, electricity provided by EmelNorte and Municipio drinking water. Extensive traditional rock paved driveways and large parking areas coupled with natural trees add a touch of local rustic flavour to complement the luxury.

The location is really something special. You feel like you are miles away from anyone yet downtown Cotacachi is just an easy five minute drive away. The property is located on a bus route. Cotacachi has seen a steady increase in tourism and foreign investment over the last several years and has now become a magnet for wealthy Ecuadorians seeking safety and rich culture. The cities of Otavalo and Ibarra are easy quick drives or bus rides away for more variety.

The Farm

The farm extends over several different levels of terrain. To the rear over 100 Haas avocado trees were planted in 2024. A gravity fed irrigation system with drip system services this area together with a 22 m3 reservoir. At the rear of the property is a grazing area, fully fenced and gated. An animal shelter is able to provide cover for either a few cows or horses.

At the top of the property is a newly built 560m3 irrigation reservoir with 10hp diesel pump, pump house and irrigation lines to all areas of the farm. The property has legalized irrigation water rights providing over 750,000 liters of water per week.

In June of 2025 300 Anna apple trees were planted complete with drip system. The planting program can extend to include 800-1,000 various commercial fruit trees in total and the irrigation system has been designed to fully service this growth. Short cycle crops complement the fruit planting project.

Considerable cashflow can be generated from the farm operation to offset the purchase price. Forecasts are available upon request (estimates only).

Asking Price

$1,000,000 USD negotiable

Consider the location, the quick and easy access to Cotacachi, the utilities and infrastructure, allied to the luxurious North American quality home and extensive gardens. The lifestyle, location, infrastructure, design and quality of construction that this property offers the buyer is reflected in the asking price.

It is now almost impossible to obtain a similar sized piece of premium quality land so close to town. Residential and farm land are now at premium prices. It is not uncommon to see residential land priced over $200k per hectare, and bare farmland with utilities on hand is now asking a premium price. Planted productive farm land is now even more in demand as buyers seek income to offset their investment.

By creating the perfect combination of a turnkey luxury finca with significant income potential we have established one of the most attractive properties on the market. Undoubtedly, from personal testimonials, this is one of the finest estate homes in Cotacachi.

The only reason for selling the property is to create a bigger more scalable agricultural project, along with the opportunity to build our own custom designed home.

Negotiable. We are interested in acquiring agricultural land in the Imantag area or within 40 minutes of Cotacachi. Open discussions welcome to conclude a sale that meets the needs of both parties.

The purchase of this property offers a full turnkey buyer experience. Full planting plan and profit and loss forecast can be provided (based on current stage of the planting phase). We can offer a project management service to complete the planting phases as required, remotely if needed for out of country buyers. We can provide reliable labour directly from the local community and recommendations for contractors, suppliers, and agricultural consultants. By handling the sale in this collaborative manner we can ensure continuity of the business side of the property leading to maximum profit. Website, email and logo would all be included in the purchase agreement.

No realtors. Private sale only. Only qualified in-market genuinely interested buyers.
