Unique property near Cuenca on one of the most beautiful sites in Ecuador. Located 40 minutes from Cuenca at the head of the Yunguilla Valley in the small Andean town of Girón. The property has 5891 square meters (about 1.4 acres) and has a 3800 square foot remodeled home with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, living room, family room, office, and loft. The property has spectacular views including a beautiful waterfall and is in a very private location but only a 5 minute walk to the center of town. The building area is bordered on 2 sides by cliffs which run down to the El Chorro River.

Girón has yet to be discovered by many tourists but soon will be. It has a wonderful climate and is warmer than Cuenca due to its lower elevation (7100 feet vs. 8200 feet) with daytime temperatures almost always in the 70`s. It is very relaxing and has beautiful views in every direction. Girón is very safe with friendly residents, probably much safer than similar sized towns in the U.S.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY:
In addition to being a wonderful place to live, the property offers an excellent investment opportunity for lodging. There are no bed and breakfasts in Girón and, if someone would would like to visit the area and stay in a furnished apartment with a kitchen for a few days or weeks, they won`t find accommodations in or even near to Girón. The few lodging options are fairly basic and you will have a difficult time finding them on the internet.

The house can easily be converted to a bed and breakfast offering a get-a-way from the cold and hustle and bustle of Cuenca. There is also an amazing building site with incredible views close to the house along the cliffs. We have been given permission to build four cabins on the site but, due to family issues, are forced to sell. Girón is starting to actively promote tourism and, because we were going to be bringing in tourists, permission was easy to obtain.
