Hola, my partner and I have done the exact same thing and would love to connect with Trish and Jim. We're building our home and I'm sure they'll have excellent advise. Thanks 😊
Wow, that house is incredible! The views are simply priceless. Damn, that's a lot of land! I love the pool. It's got a nice design and is perfectly situated overlooking the mountains :)
Great video as usual from Living Overseas. What a cool lady, so energetic and full of positivity. Beautiful place to live a happy and creative life. Craftsmanship and pride are evident and the home fits into the environment quite well.
Thanks James. They are an amazing couple and their house is truly a dream house. I'm glad you found the video helpful and thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
Ecuador is checking most of my boxes. I've been living in the Philippines for over 4 years, foreigners cannot own property here and the crowding and pollution are terrible in the cities. As a foreigner you really have no rights in the Philippines. I'm looking forward to coming to See Ecuador after the Wuhan restrictions are lifted
Interesting to hear about their experience. I would like to go stay with them someday! :-D Bet the night skies are absolutely amazing at their property
This place looks like heaven. Three hectares is a lot and price sounds reasonable. And I agree with you regarding isolation. Having this kind of sites is for sure very attractive and will always have visitors.

what a lovely house up in the mountain! one of my dreams is owning a house in a countryside with a spectacular views, glad to know that foreigner can buy and own property with the same rights as an Ecuadorians.
that's a beautiful house! Maybe more people in the US will follow, the US real state market is so inflated right now people need to learn how beautiful and cheap the rest of the world is.
If you are looking for country property in Ecuador, Trish now has a website service to help you out. Here is the link: ecuadorcountryliving.weebly.com The complete video, Living, and Retiring in Cuenca Ecuador is available on Amazon at the following link: www.amazon.com/v/LivingOverseas
Ecuador is a beautiful country with beautiful people. It's true to say that it's not expensive either. However, as someone who has lived in Ecuador in the past there are other things that are not so positive. Security and services for example. In my three years there I was mugged twice and an armed intruder entered my house. The mountains around Cuenca are beautiful but I personally would fear for my safety living there - especially as a "gringo". Services also can be slow and cumbersome. Apologies, just my experience!
Tom Byrne, Thanks for taking the time to share your personal experience. I agree that safety can be a big issue. This video is just a short piece of information about what is possible. I encourage anyone interested in moving to another country to do a lot of homework first to get a full picture from different perspectives. Thanks for sharing.
We haven't had any such experiences, thankfully, and we've been here 9 years. I think one has to be cautious and aware anywhere they choose to live. We're also used to Latin America and it's differences in services. It's certainly not North America in that regard, but it hasn't been all that difficult at all. We love the peace and tranquility of our lives.
I'm sorry for what happened Tom. But I will say that those things can happen just about anywhere in the world. I was robbed and scammed in Tx . Does that change my point of view on America or americans. If course not. If you feel unsafe just hire security personnel and you'll be fine. Just saying
Omg. I’m ecuadorian and in guayaquil you will Never found a property like that for so little !! That will cost at least 700k in guayaquil... Right now I’m living in Canada but when older I will definitely look for cuenca .’love cuenca, it’s one of my fav cities in my country
Hello there. Actually, the cost of property has increased quite a bit since we purchased - it's now approximately $20,000 for a hectare (2.5 acres). Still not bad. Building costs have also risen, but also terrific in comparison to the U.S.
Building a small home in the coastal areas has to be costly....Figuring a per sqft cost for a 1.5 bath home with a high ceiling or even a loft would be a difficult task from out of the country. I have an idea for a compound system featuring 400sqft casitas but each site would require 800 sqft. and not knowing the sanitation and water supply problems as well as power would probably require an in-town property location.
I'm promoting a property for rent or sale in the Pacific coast right in the province of Guayas. Perfect for house development or agricultural usage. We have different lots and sizes at affordable price. If you're interested drop me a line : +593 989114315 WhatsApp or email me @ quiquedillon1950@gmail.com
Such a special place to call home. And the house looks very comfy! I am curious, how stable and reliable is the internet in these Ecuadorian mountain homes?
@@jeffandtrishlaplaca5975 I see. That's good to know because I've always wondered how good the internet infrastructure was for those homes located away from the cities and towns and further up the hills and mountains. Thanks for the reply.
@@hazycloud11 Absolutely - my pleasure. Honestly, we used to have more trouble with the net going down when we were in Cuenca. We couldn't survive up here without it (who could anywhere nowadays!), so it makes things easy.
Great video! Can you please share the amount of the property tax for a home like yours? And my other question is, what is the proper, official Spanish name of the so called "property tax" in Ecuador? Thank you in advance!
We actually built a new, smaller house right next door - my husband needed a new "project"! ;-) The larger house is still wonderful and has been rented on a monthly basis recently. But we're still right here!
@@jeffandtrishlaplaca5975 What a beautiful home you built!!! And with pizza oven too! Gorgeous views. Enjoying the hot tub under the stars would be amazing. Years ago I lived in Ecuador for 8 months and loved it. The people were so kind. Blessings ✝️🛐
It certainly looks like heaven where you are. I got to stick to the states for now, though, but maybe one day. Are there mortgage companies there like in the USA or you pay cash on the spot?
alcamerc 99, Thanks for watching. There are loans available but not with good interest rates. You are better off getting a loan from the US or Canada. However, owner financed is fairly common with a small downpayment.
How is crime? Is it safe and does it feel safe? Does the government guarantee any land rights or can they take your land at any time? Healthcare? Beautiful place you have. Congrats.
Sounds excellent and a beautiful house. But looking past your senior years, who gonna take over the property? What if your kids don’t like it, then what is plan B?
Great question. You can always sell a property if you decide to leave. I think many places in Ecuador have great potential for making a profit in real estate, especially if you are trying to diversify your investments.
The idea of buying a property can be a great idea but I don’t really think selling that quick can be that easy. This is for most part the drawback in the real world: there really is NO BUYER willing enough to buy that property. But the idea of living in Ecuador as you promoted is indeed a perfect idea especially for those who want to enjoy life at it’s best at a very affordable cost.
There are some buyers since many foreigners are moving to the area. I agree that a mountain property like this one would likely not move quickly. I have friends that have done well flipping property near the beach but I wouldn't recommend anyone to invest in a foreign country without spending time there first. Personally, I rent out my place in the states and rent as I travel. This allows me to live in many different places which is great for me. If I were a young man, I would jump at the opportunity to invest in a beach area in Ecuador.
@@franciscochecavaca I agree with you Francisco. We have had people from all over the world comming to this country since the 70s and prior. So it will not be a problem. Besides, there's a good, healthy real estate business in Ecuador. There's lots of websites eng/spa listing hundreds of properties. We just have to do some research and we'll find out what we want or need
Poor architect I can tell he had a bad time dealing with this people. A bunch of condescending comments, I have been an architect for years in Cuenca and you get what you pay for. Good architects do charge for the design. We have a lot of high end homes and heating floor systems can be easily found in Cuenca and Guayaquil too. Some people just want to treat our country as a wild third world country, well it is not.

Maria Guardiola, I'm no longer in Mexico but I expect prices to be about ten percent higher. An AirBnb will likely be a lot higher through winter but if you are there and look around you will likely find a place advertised only with a sign and a phone number. That is the best way to get a good deal on a rental.
That's way too expensive for a local Ecuadorian living expenses, I bought a 10-acre land for $2,000 and I built a 3 bedroom home for $8,000 .. you need to buy and act like the locals not like arrogant nauseous rich foreigners
There's NO WAY anyone over 55 should even begin to consider such a move given health care access alone. A periodic vacation home? Fine. But then that means you should also be doing so well financially, that you could afford to build in the Mediterranean, and good luck with that! :p
Phoenix Chastaine Agree. Well, we should understand this type of presentation is profit oriented because they are in the business of this kind. My concern is what if my kids are not moving out there in Ecuador then who will take care of this house. I don’t think it is that easy to sell them and return back to the US. Healthcare can be an issue too but I think Ecuadorian doctors can easily manage the more usual types of illness like diabetes, heart , etc. Probably the issue can be how much do we need to pay for a decent private health insurance and how affordable it can be given the time we need it? Unlike in the US healthcare co-pays are killing us and also the cost of medical insurance.
Phoenix, Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I feel like the healthcare in Ecuador is very good in both Cuenca and Quito. As you get further away from the big cities the quality drops fast. Here is a link to some interviews I did with friends sharing their actual experiences. th-cam.com/video/fRsYRxoo8_Y/w-d-xo.html
@@vegaszoom6139, Hopefully, I will make some money from this at some point, but my main goal is to share the best information I can about living overseas. These places are not for everyone but for someone seeking a change in life or looking for more adventure, I think living overseas can be a great option. Most of my friends in Ecuador are paying about $100 USD per month for their private insurance. My young friends are paying less. Most medications are a fraction of the costs of what they are in the USA although some medications aren't available. Often the complete costs of a medical procedure is less than a co-pay would be in the states. Here is a link to a video about medical costs. I would love to know your thoughts after watching it. th-cam.com/video/fRsYRxoo8_Y/w-d-xo.html You can rent the complete video on Amazon and get me $2 closer to making a profit ;) Thanks for being a part of the dialogue.
Amelia and JP were not in Cuenca anymore when the virus hit. They were living in a rural beach town called Olon, now they moved again to a beach city called Manta.

You can rent the complete video on Amazon and get me $2 closer to making a profit ;) Thanks for being a part of the dialogue.
