Discover a truly exceptional mountain home where art, comfort, and nature come together in perfect harmony. This unique property embodies the spirit of a refined mountain retreat—where the tranquility of the Andes blends seamlessly with thoughtful design, high-quality finishes, and panoramic views over the emerald valley of Vilcabamba.
As you ascend the handcrafted stone and concrete steps, you are welcomed by vibrant terraces filled with life—flowers, herbs, and edible plants guide your way toward a home that radiates warmth, light, and creativity.
Inside, the main cabin unfolds into an elegant open-concept design that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and outdoor living space. Wooden-framed windows invite nature indoors, while the exterior terrace becomes a natural extension of the home—perfect for enjoying sunsets that paint the sky in gold and pink, bringing serenity to every evening.

Every detail—from lighting and craftsmanship to ironwork and finishes—has been carefully selected with sophistication, creating a perfect balance between rustic charm and refined modern living. The property is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and productive fruit trees, including avocado, mandarin, papaya, banana, guava, blueberries, and lemon, giving the land a vibrant and abundant feel.
The property includes a septic system installed 4 years ago, with an estimated lifespan of 70 to 80 years. It also has potable water and a water pump system that ensures strong and consistent water pressure throughout the property, adding comfort and reliability to everyday living.
While the home does not include on-site parking, its privileged location—just a 15-minute walk or 5-minute drive from Vilcabamba’s vibrant center—offers convenient access to restaurants, markets, rivers, and scenic trails that highlight the area’s natural beauty.
Wake up to the gentle morning light over the valley, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and feel connected to something timeless. This is more than a home—it is a sanctuary of inspiration and well-being, an exceptional investment in both lifestyle and lasting value.
