For Sale 159,000 - Country house
PRICE REDUCED by $10,000 – This beautiful ‘For Sale by Owner’ property is located in Malacatos which is very close to the more well-known Vilcabamba. It really is a gorgeous property with tremendous potential for a future pool, orchards, gardening, chickens, and sustainability. It’s close to everything yet the feel of the property is that it is very secluded and private.
The best part is that the house has income-generating potential as it has a totally separate Suite on the first floor that could easily be rented immediately as there is a dramatic demand because of the shortage of rental properties here in the area.
The total property size is 2,100 m2 (0.51 acres) and the Construction Size is 210 m2 (2260.42 ft 2). There are 2 spacious Bedrooms upstairs with 1 bathroom and downstairs is One bedroom and One bath.
Malacatos is a beautiful little town with a population of approximately 7,114 inhabitants and it’s at an Altitude of 1,470 m. (4822 ft.). It is conveniently located a short distance of 8 minutes by car to Malacatos and only 20 minutes by car to Vilcabamba.
You can find just about everything you need for basics in Malacatos and you can find specialty American items as well as American restaurants just a short drive away in Vilcabamba. My favorite part of Malacatos is the peace and serenity here as compared with the mass of activity and tourists in Vilcabamba. It’s nice every once in a while, yet it’s always comforting to come home to tremendous quiet.
If you need to do a ‘Big Shop’ the distance to Loja is only 40 minutes by car. I normally do a monthly trip to Loja and everything else I source locally as Malacatos is known for being one of the best open markets in the area. Quick Peek: https://youtu.be/5sFAs7OV7Js
If you need to travel by plane the distance to the Airport (Catamayo) is Approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes by car. It’s a short, inexpensive hop to Quito from LOH.
Another Excellent quality of the home is that it boasts a completely private and paved driveway so no need for a 4X4 to access.
