This remarkable luxury penthouse in Cuenca’s coveted Puertas del Sol neighborhood features a spectacular 1,417-square-foot terrace with sweeping 180-degree views and is located in a secure, elevator-equipped building with a generator, 24/7 security, a gated off-street setting, and a private park within the complex. The 2,893-square-foot 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath penthouse also includes two parking spaces and an oversized bodega storage unit. This special haven is within easy walking distance of some of the city’s finest restaurants and just a block and a half from the Tranvía, which whisks you into El Centro in minutes.
A private elevator opens directly into the residence. Bathed in natural light from dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, the penthouse was designed to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The open-concept layout feels expansive yet welcoming, with every major space positioned to capture the extraordinary views that make this condo so unforgettable. During the day, sunlight pours across the living areas while the mountains frame the horizon in every direction. At night, the city below begins to sparkle, transforming the entire residence into something both sophisticated and deeply peaceful.
At the center of the home is a spectacular terrace that completely redefines outdoor living in Cuenca. Nearly as large as the apartment itself, this enormous private retreat has been thoughtfully designed as a true extension of the living space. Filled with mature plants and multiple covered and uncovered seating areas, it invites everything from elegant sunset dinners with friends to quiet mornings with coffee overlooking the city.
A large fire pit creates an intimate focal point after dark, while existing water, gas, and electrical connections make it easy to add an outdoor kitchen or grilling area for even larger gatherings. Covered spaces allow the terrace to be enjoyed year-round, whether entertaining guests beneath the stars or simply unwinding with the spectacular mountain and city views. The rest of the terrace is open to the sky.
The living area looks out onto the terrace, with an adjoining dining room. The kitchen blends functionality with understated elegance, featuring granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, a large island perfect for gathering around the chef while meals are prepared, and a separate coffee or bar area tucked discreetly off to the side, offering additional counter and storage space. The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven, five-burner gas cooktop, range hood, dishwasher, microwave, and washer and dryer, which come with the purchase price, allowing the next owner to move in effortlessly and begin enjoying the home immediately. Select furnishings are also negotiable. There is also a water filtration system in the kitchen.

This property is located near Uzhupud, Paute, about one hour away from Cuenca. Please check out our video reel and read about this very special property. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cW890oDV2NE.
Perched high above the Paute Valley, just one hour from Cuenca and minutes from the charming Andean town of Paute, this extraordinary mountain retreat was designed for those who crave beauty, privacy, and a deeper connection to nature, while offering resort-style amenities rarely found in a private residence.
The journey begins as you wind through the mountains, climbing toward a property that seems suspended between earth and sky. Behind a secure private gate, stone pathways wind through mature trees, flowering gardens, fruit trees, and lush landscaping, creating a sense of arrival that feels more like a resort than a residence. There is even a little viewing pavilion on the way to the house.
Then you see the view.
Layer upon layer of emerald mountains unfold before you. The Paute River winds through the valley below. Clouds drift across distant peaks. Sunrises arrive in brilliant color, and evenings end beneath a canopy of stars.
The setting is simply breathtaking.
The fully furnished four-bedroom home offers approximately 2,200 square feet of beautifully designed living space on nearly 4,800 square meters of land, blending natural stone, handcrafted hardwoods, soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, and walls of glass that frame the spectacular scenery from nearly every room.
At the heart of the home, an open-concept living and dining area rises beneath dramatic wood-beamed ceilings. River-stone accent walls, custom wood cabinetry, and expansive windows create a space that feels both elegant and grounded in nature. The adjoining kitchen is both beautiful and highly functional, featuring handcrafted wood cabinetry, generous granite work surfaces, quality appliances, abundant storage, and a large peninsula that keeps cooks connected to family, guests, and the spectacular scenery beyond. From here, even preparing breakfast comes with a mountain view.
There is also a dedicated laundry room and storage area.
Yet it is outside where this property truly shines.
A magnificent covered terrace stretches along the front of the home, creating an outdoor living room suspended above the valley. Framed by warm wood ceilings, handcrafted stonework, and endless mountain vistas, it becomes a place where mornings begin slowly and evenings seem to linger long after sunset. Multiple outdoor living areas throughout the property invite you to follow the sun, seek shade, or simply settle into a favorite spot to read a book, sip tea, have a cocktail, or just revel in relaxation.
Above it all, a spectacular rooftop entertainment terrace serves as a private sky lounge, complete with a custom bar, dining spot, and pool table.
The home also has a poolside guest suite.

I had this barbecue custom-made by a guy who makes commercial restaurant equipment. I had it made with three burners to be able to control the heat. It is a fantastic unit. I have been using it since March. I love this thing, but I am moving out of Ecuador and simply can’t take it with me.
I also had him make me the cart that it sits on. For the barbecue, cart and propane tank, I paid a total of $450. I am willing to let it go for $250 OBO. you can either respond by messaging me or by WhatsApp.
