This beautifully renovated one-bedroom penthouse in El Vergel feels like a serene, beach-inspired refuge with some of the best views in the city. Flooded with natural light from every direction, the apartment opens into an inviting open-concept living and dining area where oversized windows showcase sweeping, ever-changing views of Cuenca, Turi, the mountains, the valleys, and even the domes of El Centro. The atmosphere is immediately calming—soft pale blue walls, warm wood-tone floors, crisp white trim, and an airy sense of peace that’s rare to find in the heart of the city. One parking space and a bodega (storage room) also comes with the penthouse.

Completely gutted and rebuilt to North American standards, the 850 sq. ft. home reflects care, quality, and thoughtful design at every turn. The kitchen is especially striking with its clean white cabinetry, quartz-style counters, excellent storage, matte-black hardware, a dishwasher (often hard to find in Ecuador) and a deep single-basin sink positioned beneath a wide picture window that brings the outdoors right into the room. A six-burner gas stove, oven, and updated range hood complete the space, making it as functional as it is beautiful. Natural light floods the kitchen throughout the day, and as the light shifts, the mountains outside your window change color like a living painting.

The bedroom is unusually spacious for a one-bedroom, designed to feel like a quiet retreat at the end of the day. It includes a full wall of custom carpentry—specialized built-ins with deep drawers, double hanging units, open shelving, overhead storage, and even a dedicated shoe closet—offering the kind of thoughtful, abundant storage rarely seen in apartments of this size. The large window makes the room feel even more expansive, framing treetops, rooftops, and distant hills. The bathroom continues the home’s modern aesthetic with a contemporary vanity, tasteful fixtures, and a fresh, clean design.

One of the apartment’s greatest joys is the enormous wraparound terrace just outside the front door. Although technically communal, it is rarely used by anyone else in the building, giving the penthouse the feel of having its own vast outdoor living space—without any of the taxes or maintenance that normally accompany deeded rooftop areas. Morning coffee with the sun rising over the mountains, an afternoon cocktail in the breeze, or a quiet evening watching the city lights sparkle below becomes a daily ritual here. For someone who appreciates fresh air and open sky, this is an unmatched extension of the home.

The three homes and land are being offered together for one purchase price. This property is perfect for a homesteader, expats looking to escape the rat race of their own countries or a group of friends who are longing for community and to live off the land in spectacular, natural surroundings.

The land has extensive orchards, gardens, and a coffee plantation, and is nestled off of a paved road, with approximately ¼ mile entry drive. There is a deeded reservoir. Also included in the sale is a separately deeded piece of land above the main house that has its own reservoir and is ready for expansion, more planting or additional casitas.

This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath riverside condo with two terraces feels more like a private home than an apartment, thanks to its generous proportions, thoughtful layout, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. At 2,246 sq. ft. (208 m²) including the patios — plus one deeded parking spot, and an underground bodega — this ground floor condo offers room to live, create, and entertain in style.

Located in one of Cuenca’s most desirable neighborhoods, you’ll be surrounded by restaurants, cafés, shops, and Supermaxi, with hospitals, clinics, and the river’s walking paths within walking distance. While the condo sits close enough to enjoy the peaceful ambience of the Tomebamba, its set-back position means you won’t be disturbed by city or street sounds, and it is completely safe, and private. The elevator building has weekday security, a generator, and central gas, with an HOA of $215 that includes the gas.

Inside, an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area welcomes you. The living room is bright, and inviting, with space for multiple seating arrangements, while the dining area is anchored by a warm electric fireplace. The gourmet kitchen, with its oversized island, 5-burner gas stove, refrigerator, oven, range hood, microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal — all included in the purchase price — opens directly onto the two patios. One is covered for year-round al fresco dining, the other open to the sky, framed by flowering plants, and a barbecue area.

Down a private hallway, the bedroom wing offers quiet separation from the main living space. Currently, two of the bedrooms are used as vibrant creative studios, filled with fabrics, and work, and art supplies, and storage bins. But beneath the artistry are two spacious, en-suite bedrooms ready to be reimagined. One features an attached sunroom, making it an ideal primary suite, while another opens directly onto the garden terrace. The en-suite primary bedroom is large with views out to the garden through its large picture window.

This is an amazing investor or future relocation opportunity with a built-in 1-2 month renter willing to pay $800 a month and have your furnished condo ready for occupancy or future tenants by late, January, 2026.

The current owner is building a new home that is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025. He is seeking to sell the condo now and lease it back from the buyer for six months at $800 per month. This offers the perfect solution for someone not quite ready to move—perhaps you’re selling your own home, tying up loose ends, or want to lock in a prime property before prices rise further or the property is sold. You’ll have a solid tenant in place and a defined move-in timeline—or simply a stream of income if you’re purchasing as an investment.

Located in the heart of Cuenca’s historic district, this 1238 sq. ft., 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath, open-concept apartment is full of color, light, and charm. With double-paned windows and a front-facing view of the street, you’ll enjoy a bright, “happy” living space with front-row views of downtown action—yet a surprisingly quiet condo inside.

The spacious living room features colorful décor and a dining area with a vertical fireplace, perfect for cozy nights at home. The large kitchen has vibrant blue cabinetry and high-end appliances, such as a full-size refrigerator, five-burner gas stove, oven, range hood, and dishwasher, all included in the purchase price. All furnishings, except for personal and sentimental items, are included in the sale.

A separate laundry room includes a stackable washer and dryer — also included in the sale — and lots of cabinetry and storage, plus there’s an additional guest bathroom just beyond the laundry room that serves as a social bath.

Both bedrooms are en-suite. The primary bathroom has a Bidet and a hydro massage tub and shower. The primary suite also has built-in closets, a custom cabinet for a large-screen TV, storage and collectibles, and overlooks a serene, plant-filled light shaft, with blackout curtains for restful sleep.

The guest suite features a long wall of closets and an extra closet space inside the room that could easily be removed to expand the room. Regardless, storage is plentiful in this quiet, distinct unit in the heart of El Centro. The guest room is currently set up as an office space, but it is meant to be a proper guest room and fully designed to accommodate a queen-sized bed — or you can keep it as an office or TV room. The guest room also has a full tub and shower.

This three-story walk-up has a dumbwaiter that brings your groceries and heavy items right to your door. Known for its award-winning construction and built to North American standards by Cuenca’s most celebrated architects, the building features a lush park-like interior courtyard and a rooftop terrace with spectacular city and river views. Secure bike storage is also found in this building.

There are two entrances. One is directly off Calle Larga — a famous street, blocks from Parque Calderon and the town center, where you’ll find everything from fine dining and rooftop restaurants, cozy cafés, diverse international cuisine, to art galleries, museums, shops, and one of Cuenca’s best Mercados. The second entrance is right off the beautiful river walk, where you can walk, bike, or relax on the river banks. This entrance also leads directly to a bridge and into the “New” Cuenca, where more dining, shopping, banking, and two of Cuenca’s top-rated hospitals are within walking distance. The old and new parts of the city are easily accessed on foot, separated only by the river that runs right behind the building.
