Vilcabamba-002. ($175,000). This double-level home is in one of the best locations in the Vilcabamba valley. Only a few minutes drive (or 10 mins walk) from the central park, this large 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home comes complete with additional covered outdoor entertaining areas on both the ground and first-floor levels. Situated directly across from the sacred mountain Mandango, with panoramic views up and down the Vilcabamba valley, this home simply feels special. Engineered in all respects to an American standard, whoever feels at home here can also feel comfortable knowing all the hard work has already been done. This home is a great example of a turnkey transition to the Vilcabamba life!

Malacatos-001. ($149,000). This mostly completed and extremely well-built large home is in a stunning location set in a total community-space of 7 hectares, on at the top of the mountain range which divides Vilcabamba and Malacatos. The home abuts an irrigation canal at rear and a "rainy-season-creek" at front, all of which is surrounded by beautiful vegetation and old growth trees. Wildlife abounds in the area, and of the 6 indicators of a healthy local ecosystem, this property has them all in abundance (Bees, Butterflies, Bats, Dragonflies, Frogs, and Hummingbirds!). In this small and private community are three other like-minded and wonderful neighbours, whom we'd encourage you to meet! The community itself is gated and secure (although we are far from what we'd call a "gated-community!"). The house is at that exact stage of readiness, whereby its new owners will be able to customize it according to their taste and preference. The plans it has been built to are available if desired, and the vendors are more than happy to help the new owners with any queries they may have about anything at all re the build, what was intended, and what might be possible.
