This 2,500 sq ft, 3-bedroom home on a 1/4 acre of land in Tarqui includes a 20 ft. container as a bonus.

The 3-bed,2.5 bath home is an open concept living, dining, and kitchen space with high, vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, an outdoor terrace and bar area set against a river-rock wall, a zen-like open light shaft, with plantings, and glass everywhere making this a light, bright and truly cheery residence.

The large "great room" has a beautifully rustic warmth thanks to the vaulted, beamed wooden ceilings. Windows surround the room letting the indoors out and the outdoors in. A rock wall on one side of the living space adds an additional organic element that is inviting and tasteful. 

The kitchen includes beautiful wooden cabinets, black granite countertops, an island with an eat-in wooden table, and a buffet area in matching wood that is perfect when entertaining. And this is a great entertaining home, with a covered outdoor terrace directly off the kitchen. There is also a large green grass area in front of the modern, wood, brick, and metal home that is striking in its design. 

There is an en-suite master and two guest rooms, plus a secondary seating area -- perfect for a TV room or office -- between the bedrooms.

This single-level home is located in Tarqui, a rural community located about 15 minutes from downtown Cuenca. Views include mountain vistas, hilly grasslands, pastures, and trees.
