Wake Up Between the Peaks: A Serene Andean Sanctuary in Cotacachi

Listing ID : RS2600058

Imagine waking up to the gentle chirping of hummingbirds and the breathtaking sight of two majestic volcanic peaks framing your horizon. This isn't just a house; it’s a place where the air is crisp, the gardens are lush, and every corner of your home feels like a warm embrace. Whether you are curling up by the fire on a cool evening or hosting friends on your sun-drenched patio, you will find that life here moves at a more graceful, intentional pace. This is your chance to own a piece of paradise in the most sought-after corner of Cotacachi.

Where you'll wake up every day

Cotacachi sits in a temperate Andean valley that locals and expats alike describe as having near-perfect year-round climate. This gated enclave is a genuine nature sanctuary — quiet enough that the birdsong is the loudest thing you'll hear most mornings. You're still within easy walking distance of Cotacachi's charming town center, its famous leather market, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. The best of both worlds, without compromise.

A home that was built to last

Construction quality here is no afterthought. Built in 2012 with premium materials throughout, the home has been further elevated by the previous owners, who opened up the original entry to flood the interior with natural light. Vaulted hardwood ceilings give every room a warm, airy feel, and the overall layout — open plan from entrance through dining, living, and kitchen — flows in a way that just makes sense for everyday life.

• Vaulted ceilings clad in native hardwood — warm, rich, and timeless
• Oversize windows throughout capture light and frame the botanical surroundings
• Native hardwood floors in both bedrooms in a caramel finish that only improves with age
• Wood-burning fireplace in the living room for those cooler Andean evenings
• Large glass sliding doors connecting dining room to the private back patio

The kitchen — serious cooking, serious storage

If you love to cook, this kitchen will make you happy. Generous counter space, hardwood cabinetry with custom pull-out interior shelving, a top-of-the-line imported 6-burner stove, built-in microwave, a dedicated spice rack that rolls out, and a walk-in pantry. Everything stays with the home. A side door leads directly out to a covered outdoor grill and BBQ area — seamless indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining.

Outdoor living, front and back

Step outside and the experience continues. The enclosed back patio is a private sanctuary — brick walls draped with flowering plants, herbs growing in the beds, a mosaic fountain that adds a quiet trickle to the background. Upstairs, a covered walk-out patio becomes your front-row seat to both Mt. Cotacachi and Mt. Imbabura: real, unobstructed volcano views that you never get tired of.

• Private enclosed back patio with mosaic fountain and garden beds
• Covered upper-level terrace with panoramic views of two volcanoes
• Tool and storage shed adjacent to the kitchen side entrance
• Covered grill/BBQ area with direct kitchen access

Bedrooms designed for rest

Both bedrooms offer the warmth of native hardwood floors and plenty of natural light. The master suite includes an ensuite bathroom with his-and-her sinks, and its oversized window frames a direct view of Mt. Imbabura
