About This Productive 4.94 Acre Ecuador Estate with Views
Nestled in the tranquil neighborhood of Santa Marianita, this 4.94-acre estate offers the perfect blend of secluded nature and modern convenience. Strategically positioned between Catamayo and Gonzanamá, the property is just a 20-minute drive from both towns and a mere 15 minutes from the Catamayo Airport. Within an 8-minute drive, you have access to local dining, schools, and riverside recreation along the Catamayo River. As a developing rural hub, Santa Marianita is attracting new residents who value clean air and a peaceful lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to essential services and regional connectivity.
The residence is a 2,153-square-foot two-story home built with a robust combination of reinforced concrete, metal framing, and solid brick for long-term durability. The ground floor features an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area alongside two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The upper level is currently being finalized to include a third bedroom, an additional bathroom, and a family room that overlooks the social area below, creating a bright, airy atmosphere. Outside, wide covered verandas—perfect for hammocks—and a dedicated BBQ area invite you to enjoy the year-round warm climate and scenic views.
The property is a productive paradise divided into two natural terraces: an upper terrace where the house sits and a lower terrace dedicated to lush fruit cultivation. The fertile soil currently produces export-quality coffee, mango, papaya, orange, and sugar cane. To support this bounty, the farm is equipped with two reservoirs totaling over 528 gallons for irrigation, alongside potable water, electricity, and high-speed wireless internet. This $139K farm is a self-sufficient haven for those looking to grow their own food in a pristine environment.

Santa Marianita, Ecuador
Santa Marianita is a tranquil rural sector nestled in the heart of the Loja highlands, characterized by its rolling green hills and a climate that stays spring-like throughout the year. The area is strategically positioned along the route between the transport hub of Catamayo and the traditional town of Gonzanamá, offering a balance of seclusion and accessibility. Because of its elevation and geography, the region enjoys clear air and expansive views of the surrounding Andes, creating a landscape that is both rugged and inviting for those looking for a peaceful mountain lifestyle.
The community and surrounding landscape are deeply rooted in agriculture, with the local economy revolving around small-scale farming and livestock. The soil in this part of Gonzanamá is exceptionally fertile, making it a prime location for growing high-altitude coffee, citrus fruits, and traditional Andean crops. Life here moves at a slower pace than in the nearby cities, and the area maintains a safe, tight-knit atmosphere where neighbors are often connected through generations of farming the same land.
Infrastructure in Santa Marianita benefits from its proximity to the regional airport in Catamayo, which is only a short drive away. This makes it one of the few rural agricultural spots in southern Ecuador that remains easily reachable for international travelers and residents who need to commute to Loja or Quito. While the area provides the essential utilities needed for modern living, it retains an untouched quality that appeals to people interested in self-sufficiency, sustainable farming, or simply escaping the noise of more developed urban centers.
