Property Description

​

Discover an extraordinary 222-acre (90-hectare) private rainforest sanctuary just 10 minutes from Zamora, where the eastern Andes meet the Amazon Basin. Surrounded by pristine nature and located near Podocarpus National Park, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of abundant water, biodiversity, privacy, productive land, and easy access to city services.

​

Water defines this remarkable estate. Dozens of year-round cascades flow through the property, including at least eight major waterfalls, crystal-clear pools, mountain streams, springs, and dramatic riverfront areas. Private trails wind through ancient forest, towering bamboo, giant kapok trees, impressive rock formations, and natural caves, while higher elevations reveal panoramic views stretching across the Andes toward Peru.

​

The property is located within one of Ecuador’s richest biodiversity regions, home to an extraordinary variety of birds, butterflies, monkeys, orchids, tropical plants, and other wildlife. Its rivers and streams form part of the headwaters that eventually connect to the vast Amazon River system.

​

Beside one of the waterfalls sits an unfinished yet livable two-story brick home featuring two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a wrap-around deck, and a spacious primary bedroom overlooking its own private waterfall. The home already has road access, septic infrastructure, hot-water connections, and a prepared reflecting pond area, offering an excellent foundation for creating a truly unique residence immersed in nature.

​

Despite its remote atmosphere, the estate benefits from modern infrastructure, including grid electricity, high-speed internet, cellular reception in elevated areas, rainwater harvesting, and abundant gravity-fed spring water. The property also offers strong potential for independent hydroelectric and solar energy systems.

​

Established food forests already produce bananas, plantains, citrus, papaya, pineapple, passionfruit, cacao, coffee, yucca, sugar cane, soursop, herbs, and many other tropical crops, with additional mango and avocado trees continuing to mature.

​

More than seven flat riverfront acres provide exciting possibilities for future development, including private residences, eco-lodges, tourist cabins, regenerative agriculture, retreat facilities, an intentional community, or expanded food production. With extensive water systems throughout the land, the property may also offer unique subdivision possibilities where multiple future parcels could potentially enjoy their own waterfalls, springs, or river access.

​

Whether envisioned as a private family sanctuary, regenerative farm, wellness retreat, conservation project, eco-tourism destination, or nature-based hospitality business, this property offers possibilities that are increasingly difficult to replicate.

​

All of this natural abundance is located only minutes from Zamora, providing convenient access to supermarkets, healthcare, schools, restaurants, banks, construction services, and other everyday necessities.

​

More than simply land, this is an opportunity to steward an extraordinary private ecosystem filled with water, wildlife, food, forest, and breathtaking natural beauty.
