This award-winning, architectural masterpiece, 20 minutes outside of Cuenca, with 5000 m2 of land, combines striking contemporary architecture in one of the area’s most peaceful natural settings. This exceptional home offers the serenity of open space, mature trees, mountain views, and complete privacy — with modern amenities and a 4,300 sq. ft., 4-bedroom home, with 2.5 baths.

The design of this home feels both sophisticated and deeply livable. From the moment you arrive, the residence makes a statement. Clean architectural lines, rich wood finishes, expansive glass walls, and cantilevered design elements blend seamlessly into the surrounding landscape, creating a home that feels modern, grounded, and timeless all at once.

One of the property’s most memorable spaces is the covered outdoor entertaining pavilion, complete with a professional grilling station, dining area, integrated sound system, and spectacular mountain views. It is easy to imagine long lunches with friends, holiday gatherings with extended family, or quiet evenings listening to the wind move through the trees as the lights of Cuenca glow in the distance.

The home was also designed with flexibility in mind. In addition to the primary living quarters, there is a separate guest suite/apartment with its own kitchenette and bath — ideal for extended family, visiting guests, live-in help, caretakers, adult children, or even a private office or creative studio. The expansive grounds also offer room for future expansion should a new owner wish to add additional guest accommodations, wellness spaces, or gardens.

Inside, the main living spaces unfold in an open, flowing design where oversized windows and sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Sunlight pours across stone floors while the surrounding mountains and greenery become a living backdrop to everyday life. The gourmet kitchen, with its oversized geometric island, granite surfaces, premium appliances, and elegant dark cabinetry, opens naturally into the dining and living areas, making the home ideal for both intimate family living and large-scale entertaining.

The bedroom wing feels private and peaceful, with warm wood tones, extensive built-ins, and calming natural views throughout. A long office corridor overlooking the exterior terraces creates an inspiring work-from-home environment that feels connected to nature without sacrificing comfort or modern convenience.

And while the setting feels wonderfully secluded, security and peace of mind were clearly part of the property's vision. The home is located within a private gate and includes perimeter fencing, security cameras, and an alarm system, allowing owners to enjoy country living with confidence and ease. It is the kind of property where you feel away from everything — but never vulnerable or isolated. A trusted and known caretaker, gardener, and handyman lives nearby who can also help with everyday chores, upkeep of the property, and keeping an eye out when you're on extended trips or vacations.

The current owners are preparing for their next chapter, and several rooms are currently being used for storage and packing. However, the extraordinary architecture, scale, light, and quality of construction remain unmistakable throughout the home, offering buyers the opportunity to envision the property’s full potential once again.

A car with less than 20,000 miles is also available for sale at a separate price.

For those seeking a luxury residence that combines contemporary architecture, privacy, security, nature, and close proximity to one of South America’s most desirable cities, this is a truly rare offering.
