Located approximately 3 kilometers from the main road in the highlands of Taranza, this expansive 239-hectare (590.57-acre) property offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in virgin, fertile land with abundant natural resources. Currently, access is only by foot: from Guatuche, it takes about 3 hours to reach the top and 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach the lower part of the property. However, there is great potential to open an access road via the lagoon area, which would connect to the upper part of the propertyonly 4 kilometers away from an existing road. The land is mostly mountainous but features several natural terraces with semi-flat and flat areas, ranging from half a hectare to one hectare in size. These spaces are ideal for building or developing agricultural and reforestation projects. From the upper terraces, one enjoys breathtaking 360-degree views of southern Loja's most iconic landscapes: Mandango Mountain, the Vilcabamba Valley, Quinara, and even La Huaca Mountain in Cariamanga. The climate is warm and pleasant year-round. On clear days, a soft breeze cools the environment without feeling cold, making this location perfect for living or sustainable development. The property is fully fenced and was previously used for cattle ranching, supporting up to 120 head of cattle. In past years, traditional Andean crops such as fava beans, melloco, beans, wheat, serrano squash, granadilla, melon, tree tomatoes, and figs were cultivatedshowcasing the land's excellent agricultural potential. One of the property's greatest assets is its abundant water. It has three permanent freshwater springs, each with an approximate flow of 1 to 2 inches, and it borders the upper area of the Los Toronches ravine, where an additional 3 inches of water can be sourced. Currently, there is no connection to the public electrical grid, making solar panel installation the most viable and sustainable solution, ideal for an off-grid, eco-conscious project in harmony with nature.
