Price slashed by more than half on this Uzhupud compound on more than an acre of land with a huge outbuilding, a spa with pool, and incredible views. This 4-bedroom, 4,306 sq. ft house, has a 5,382 sq. ft utility facility, a spa with a pool, a sauna, and a steam room, and views that can't be beaten. Perfect as a meditation or retreat center, an agricultural multi-purpose property, a horse farm (the large lighted building could be converted into stables or a riding ring), or a sports or training facility. The property could also be a private family home with a giant greenhouse that would allow you to live completely off the land -- and perhaps create a money-making opportunity. 

This rare, fully furnished property is located in an ideal country area known as Chican just minutes away from Uzhupud where a new world-class orchid hosteria, restaurant, and hotel will soon be open, making this a great investment. The home also has a covered garage and an extra large storage area that could be made into a conference room or secondary entertainment Pavillion should you want to expand areas for gatherings.  The property is completely fenced in and located in a wonderfully safe area with wealthy Ecuadorians, expats, and locals as your neighbors.  The property is zoned for both residential and commercial use.

The quaint town of  Paute is about 15 minutes away and has everything you need for everyday living, including restaurants, shops, a small hospital, banks pharmacies, and a twice-a-week Mercado where fresh fruits and vegetables, plus crafts are offered at amazing prices. And, the property is just 30 minutes from Ecuador's world heritage site city of Cuenca and the cultural capital of the country. The property has spectacular views of the beautiful mountains, and valleys, and is near to the Paute River allowing hiking, biking, birding, horseback riding, and walking along the river ... all right outside your front door.

The open concept, living, dining, and kitchen area are filled with light and incredible views thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and doors. A large formal dining room near the kitchen, plus a second eating area and a comfortable and inviting living room make this a perfect entertaining home, and great for weekend getaways, conferences, and welcoming friends and family. With stunning carved ceilings, wooden archways, and a cozy fireplace, this is the kind of home that begs you to enjoy the best of country living. The four bedrooms (one downstairs) are perfect for a crowd with bunk beds, single beds, and tons of mattresses. There is also a very large family room area upstairs on the landing once you climb the beautiful winding staircase.  

The piece de resistance is the gorgeous swimming pool and spa area, and two lovely porches ... one on the main floor and another on the second floor. The total lot size is 5000 sq. meters or 1.235527 acres.
