6.2 Hectares with House and Development Opportunities

Property Description

Located just 5 minutes from Vilcabamba, via the Hacienda San Joaquín road, this exceptional 6.2-hectare (15.3-acre) property offers privacy, breathtaking views, and outstanding development potential in one of southern Ecuador’s most desirable valleys.

The property has direct access from the main road and features an internal road system that connects the main house with two well-built terraces, as well as additional upper terraces. Due to a short steep section at the entrance, a 4x4 vehicle may be recommended, and the internal road would benefit from some maintenance, but it provides access to all key areas of the land.

Midway up the property sits a charming mountain chalet, built with adobe, wood, and clay tile roofing, blending beautifully into the natural surroundings. The home features an open-concept layout combining kitchen, living area, bedroom, and bathroom, plus an additional room that can be used as a second bedroom or office.


The windows include roll-down security shutters, and the balcony offers stunning 180-degree panoramic views of Mandango Mountain, the Vilcabamba Valley, and the surrounding mountain ranges.

Utilities are already in place, including electricity, water, and internet availability, making this property immediately usable while still offering room to expand or develop further.

Each terrace has been strategically positioned to maximize privacy and views, making the land ideal for additional homes, eco-cabins, retreat spaces, or income-producing rentals.

The land stretches from a partially forested valley up the mountainside and includes protected gullies, native vegetation, and interesting geological features. During certain seasons, the property is filled with wildflowers, and approximately 1,500 native trees were planted in the past, adding ecological value and long-term sustainability.

While the property currently does not have fruit trees, this presents a unique opportunity: a blank canvas to design gardens, orchards, permaculture systems, or a fully customized lifestyle project aligned with your vision.
