Character And Charm In A Dream Location Packed With Potential, Manglaralto, Santa Elena Province

REDUCED $40, 000!! NOW ONLY $140, 000!! Dos Mangas is a community steeped in Ecuadorian traditions. Just seven kilometers from Manglaralto, and just off the Ruta del Spondylus a few kilometers before reaching the surfing mecca of Montaita, this secluded community is known for the toquilla straw used in the hand-weaving of the misnamed Panama Hat, the creation of jewelry and trinkets from the tagua nut, and exploration and celebration of the beautiful coastal mountains and rivers surrounding Dos Mangas. Visitors to this area enjoy the warm-humid climate, conducive to exploring the more than 2, 840 hectares that are part of the tropical rain forest and where ecological and tourist trails have been created. Hiking and horseback riding are the main tourism activities in the area, observing flora and fauna. Tourists are always fascinated by the presence of howler monkeys that play among the branches of the trees. It is in this area that you find Taino Garden, which consists of a house, gardens, and more, as well as a charming roadside coffee shop enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Located on a 2, 200 square meter lot, the total construction size is 3, 767 square feet. There are three main components of this large compound. First, is the restaurant itself, which offers its own kitchen and dining area, as well as good visibility from the highway, along with several parking spaces just off the road, inviting those touring this beautiful area to stop in for a bite and a cup of coffee. Behind and adjacent to the restaurant, accessed through a private, gated entrance facing the main road, is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom house. You could live here, or if you live off-site, this house rents as an Airbnb for $100 per night. This house has a patio with a BBQ, full kitchen and living room, a full bathroom, a full bedroom downstairs and an attic/loft with sufficient space for two beds. Further back on the property is an additional unfinished 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom, house, approximately 60% completed. The bedrooms, bathroom and closet are finished, covered, and are ready for occupancy, however the large kitchen and living room are still partially built, with the floor and columns completed. Finally, behind this, in the back, is an unfinished pool, a car port, and the beautiful garden on the back of the property. With a minimal investment, this could be a spectacular personal compound, or represent even more potential Airbnb rental income. This is the perfect opportunity for anyone wishing to live in a lush and tropical paradise, just minutes from the beach, with a built-in business where you can be your own boss! You owe it to yourself to see this unique property for yourself.
