Boater's Paradise: 1.3 Acres of Bayfront, Bahia De Caraquez, Manabí Province

Stunning 1.3 acre waterfront parcel. Ideal for fishing and boating enthusiasts.A water-lovers dream destination The bay of Bahia de Caraquez ebbs and flows with the tidal cycle and is home to beautiful mangrove forests, chock full of birdlife, and is a great place to take a deep breath and enjoy the soft breezes and Pacific air. There are mangrove islands to visit, tidal sand flats to picnic on, and a whole world to explore via boat, paddleboard, kayak, small sailboat, or jet ski. There are very few spots along this bay that have direct water access without a mass of mangrove vegetation in front. The unique location of this property, where a river bend meets the base of a hill, allows this lot a privileged access and interaction with the river not found in other areas surrounding the bay. This land is a prime location for a waterfront estate, exclusive Bed and Breakfast, retreat center, or small tourist resort. Featuring 178 feet of waterfront, this lot was historically used as a loading and unloading site for a ferry that would transport goods from one side of the mile-wide estuary to the other. The site has since been resting as there is now a new bridge connecting nearby Bahia de Caraquez to San Vicente on the other side of the estuary. The bridge is actually the longest in all of Ecuador and is a point of pride for the region.
