About this property
In Town Center! Private Compound With Large House and Separate Guest House.
The Grounds
Large monthly discount. The 1/2 acre grounds include 3 avocado trees, along with lemons, limes, oranges, berries and more. You can make guacamole from what you find in the yard. Enjoy coffee and wine outside where the weather is always moderate. Have a bonfire at night if you want. The grounds are very well lit.
Modern security system with cameras.
There is no parking on the grounds.
No steps on property.
The House
When you're not enjoying the grounds, relax in the enormous house with a central atrium. If you want a little privacy, you can escape to the casita (guest house) which has its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, sitting room and kitchen. Each of the bedrooms in the main house also has its own private en-suite bathroom. There is also an extra half bathroom, with washer and dryer.
Cotacachi
Cotacachi is a compact and colorful walkers' paradise. It is full of restaurants, shops (especially leather shops), cafes and markets. The locals will greet you, so you are going to want to learn to say at least "hola" in Spanish. There is also a large and diverse ex-pat community. You will find yourself striking up conversations with them if you go to the coffee shop across from the house (Red Rabbit). They will give you great recommendations for local trips and restaurants! There are other cities and many things to do within a short drive.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Michelle
Hi - My Father designed and built this house. I fell in love with it and bought it after he died so that I can keep it in my family for coming generations. I have local professional property management in Cotacachi. Paulina is fantastic and will take VERY good care of you. I live in San Francisco and work as a Patent Strategist for medical device companies.
Why they chose this property
My father designed and built this house (he was an architect) to enjoy during his final years. This house is NOT your typical rental. My father thought about every detail and built it exactly as he wanted it. You will see this in the details of the house and the furnishings.
What makes this property unique
This house has professional local property management (English and Spanish speaking).
