Beautiful stand alone casa with its own yard and gardens. Very secure 5 house small subdivision with an iron locked gate and high walls all around. There are permanent neighbors to keep an eye on things in a neighborhood watch setting. Nice living room with fireplace. Fully furnished kitchen appliances, with microwave, coffee pot, all silverware, dishes and pots and pans, washer and dryer.
A Lovely 2 Bedroom 2 Bath Home in quiet, secure gated community of 5 homes within walking distance of the Bus Terminal and the main street of Cotacachi where all the restaurants, gyms, clubs, coffee & pastry shops, grocery stores and the retail leather shops are located that Cotacachi is famous for.
Best of all — you don’t need a car to get around. Walk everywhere. The vegetable and fruit market is five blocks away, the nearest grocery store is three blocks and a larger store (Tia Department Store)is only four blocks. If you happen to buy a lot of groceries, a taxi is only a dollar anywhere in Cotacachi. Furthermore, the buses are economical too. How about 25 cents to Otavalo — a city of 95,000 and the home of the largest outdoor marketplace in South America – 45 cents to Ibarra – a city of 250,000 with the SuperMaxi Shopping Plaza and the newly opened Laguna Mall — a three story shopping mall — first in Ibarra.
