This lavish Yunguilla estate, on a 16,480 square meter lot, has more than 50 mature fruit trees, a soccer field, a beautiful swimming pool, two barbeque areas, a mountaintop gazebo, a guest house and some of the most exquisite property in the Yunguilla Valley. Located in Pueres, near Santa Isabel, this sensational complex is situated on a hill, offering expansive views and unrivaled scenery at every turn. Yet, within 6 minutes, you will connect to the main road through the valley with conveniences and amenities right around the corner. This road will also take you on a scenic 1.5 hour drive to the famed, colonial city of Cuenca. As well, local buses will take you right to El Centro from Yunguilla. 

The main house, near the luxurious swimming pool, has an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area, three en-suite bedrooms, and a social/guest bath.  The main house also has a private room that houses the security system, that can be remotely accessed on your smartphone from anywhere in the world. Recording, surveillance, cameras, and alarms, plus the Internet connections, are located in this secure room aimed at keeping this country property safe and sound. There are also sensor lights around the property. A small house on the other side of the pool is perfect for a guest house or mother-in-law's suite This casita has two bedrooms, a living and kitchen area, and a bath.  This can also be used as an on-sight caretaker's live-in home, should you want full-time guardians and helpers or as a rental investment property to create additional income. 

The two houses together measure approximately 720 square meters or nearly 8,000 square feet, including the gazebo. Caretakers currently work from Monday through Friday ensuring that all the needs of this palatial estate are lovingly looked after including maintaining the grounds, landscaping, planting, cleaning the pool and the two homes and the keeping the complex looking picture-perfect ready at all times. They are available to you, should you want to hire them. What makes this estate so special is all of the impressive features.  An inviting oversized heated swimming pool is warmed by a special heating element brought from the United States. A shallow, hydro massage pool makes this a wonderfully relaxing way to spend an afternoon and the small pool also doubles as a swimming area for children. Ample space around the swimming pool, plus a changing room, a separate shower and an individual bathroom make pool time easy and accessible without having to go into the house with wet bathing suits. 

When you're ready to entertain friends and family, there are two barbeque areas -- one near the home for small family gatherings, and another second outdoor kitchen, grill, and pizza oven housed in a hilltop gazebo with spectacular 180-degree views of the valley.  There is also a separate enclosed party room for weddings, birthdays and special occasions. A large soccer field invites both pros and amateur sports fans to come and "play" or enjoy the country match from the sidelines with your favorite beer or beverage.

There are two large reservoirs on the estate that service the many irrigation systems throughout the property. Tilapia, found in both ponds, can be fished, cleaned and thrown on the grill after one of those great soccer matches!

For urban farmers, mature fruit trees provide lemons, oranges, tangerines, guanabana, guayaba, maracuya, chirimoya, grapefruit, and other delicious fruits. There is also abundant additional space should you want to plant vegetable or herb gardens.
Walking paths have been created throughout the estate providing endless opportunities to survey your property while picking fruit from the orchards.  There is also ample parking for you and your guests. Drinking water is provided by the city of Santa Isabel and put into an oversized water tank housed on the grounds.
There is also a backup generator for the gas and an electric generator that provides 15 hours of backup electricity during a power outage or emergency.
