This Property Is All About Location!, Ballenita, Santa Elena Province

Located on Ecuador's beautiful Pacific Coast, Ballenita is a small coastal community with fantastic views of the sea from which residents and visitors often sight groups of migrating whales. Ballenita is, in fact, Spanish for little whale in tribute to these fascinating giants of the oceans. Ballenita manages to retain its quaint fishing village atmosphere despite its proximity to the shopping and business center of La Libertad, the nightlife of nearby Salinas, and the bohemian surfing mecca of Montaita to the north. In the midst of this beauty, we find this property tucked away on a hillside overlooking the Pacific. This two-story, 2, 583-square foot house is situated on a 250-square-meter lot in a largely undeveloped area, surrounded by lush vegetation and panoramic ocean views. There is so much potential in this property! The house has an open living and dining area on the ground level, along with a separate bedroom area and a bathroom with step-in shower. Stairs in the main living area access a loft area above the kitchen. Currently, outdoor stairs take you to the second level, where you find another space perfect for a living room or family room, two more bedrooms, and another bathroom. The views from this second level are breathtaking! There is space enough for the entire family, or you might choose to renovate and live on one level and rent out the other for additional income. Or you could utilize the basic footprint and remodel to create your ocean-view dream home. This property is packed with potential and inspiration. It is a clever buyer will imagine all the possibilities and grasp this opportunity to make their vision a reality!
