Premier & Multiple Properties For Sale in Mollepamba

Offered together for a package deal and/or available separately, this exceptional portfolio includes five prime estates and development properties in Vilcabamba, Ecuador—totaling more than 88 hectares (217+ acres) of titled land. Each property offers its own character and potential: from hacienda houses, historic tapia (rammed earth) architecture, and spa amenities to fertile farmland, lakes, and already-subdivided lots neighboring another gated community. With a blend of exceptional beauty and modern infrastructure, these properties are perfectly suited for private retreats, agricultural ventures, hospitality projects, residential development, or even for a large University project. Located just minutes from the center of Vilcabamba, yet nestled in tranquil countryside settings, they offer both privacy, incredible views, and accessibility. Buyers may acquire individual properties or the entire collection as a package, creating one of the most versatile and truly valuable holdings in southern Ecuador.

This portfolio holds the most secure and abundant water reserves in all of Vilcabamba, sourced from the pristine Podocarpus National Park springs feeding the Capamaco river with a piping captation located right below a waterfall and higher than any other water system in Vilca. The system is anchored by a dedicated highland lot located above all five estates, where reserve tanks store and regulate this pure mountain water. From there, it flows entirely by gravity into additional reserve tanks throughout the properties below, ensuring consistent pressure and reliability without the need for pumps. Complementing this system are on-site lakes and ponds, which provide recreational offerings and practical storage. The lowest property, already subdivided into 10 lots, also benefits from neighborhood potable water available and irrigation canal access. With this combination of high-altitude catchment, gravity-fed distribution, and multiple storage points, the 5 estates enjoy exceptional water security—a rare advantage that supports residential, agricultural, and development potential on a scale unmatched anywhere in the region.

• Land Description – Shucos Estate
  Most all of the Shucos estate is buildable and usable, as the terrain consists primarily of flat areas and gently rolling hills. The lower sections of the property are flat to mildly sloping, providing excellent areas for construction or cultivation. Around the upper ponds, there are broad level perches and large, gently sloping expanses that offer ideal building sites with open views. Only two areas are less usable: the western side from the lakes down to the western border where the land drops down into a creek that runs during the rainy season alongside this boundary at the Mollepamba road, and the uppermost ridge, which is more steeply sloped. The rest of the property unfolds in a graceful mix of rolling, gently sloped land and broad flats, making it one of the most versatile and development-friendly terrains in the area.
