Peaceful mountain retreat just 20 minutes from Cuenca; has guest house

This peaceful mountain retreat, just 25 Minutes from Cuenca, offers endless views and a beautiful casita, allowing for additional sleeping areas, guest suites, or, should you desire, weekend income as a quiet getaway for Cuencanos and expats wanting to take a short, easy ride to “another world.”

Nestled in the quiet farming hills north of Sinincay, this inviting 1829 sq. ft home is surrounded by some of the most exquisite views in the region — sweeping panoramas of Cuenca’s lights, layered mountain ridges, and ever-changing Andean skies. Set on nearly 19,000 square meters (4.7 acres) of open, rolling land, the property offers a rare sense of space, privacy, and connection to nature, where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle into soft golden light across the valley.

Originally built in 2000 and thoughtfully updated in 2022, the home blends timeless Andean charm with modern comfort. Vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers and tile floors echo the natural world outside, while the recent upgrades — including a full tile roof replacement, new in-floor heating, and refreshed appliances and fixtures — bring ease and refinement to daily living.

Adding versatility to the property is a recently remodeled “tiny house” 250 sq. ft. casita featuring a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Ideal for guests, long-term visits, artists’ retreats, or weekend rentals, this separate space feels private yet connected.
