This 2,540 m² (27,346 ft²) parcel in Montañita offers a rare chance to take over a thoughtfully planned project in one of Ecuador’s most popular coastal destinations. With sweeping views of the ocean, the surf point, and surrounding hillsides, the land is just a five-minute walk from the beach, town center, and Montañita’s world-famous waves.

Originally envisioned as the Villa Punta Vista project, the site was designed to accommodate five identical villas across the property—maximizing the land’s slope and unobstructed ocean views. While no official subdivision has taken place, the plans and studies included show exactly how the land can be transformed into a high-performing vacation rental or multifamily development.

Included with the sale:

  • Architectural renderings and full design plans for a five-villa layout

  • Completed topography and soil studies

  • Completed engineering study for a retaining wall

  • Site plan optimized for the terrain and views

The property is development-ready in every sense—backed by real planning and technical documentation. With much of the pre-construction work complete, a new buyer can move faster and with more confidence than starting from scratch.

Montañita draws steady tourism throughout the year with its consistent surf, restaurants, nightlife, and backpacker vibe. Just minutes north, Olón offers a calmer, family-friendly experience with boutique hotels, wellness retreats, and a growing expat community. Together, the two towns support strong year-round rental demand for both short- and long-term stays.

Financially, the project has solid potential. Depending on design choices and how it’s managed, each unit could rent for $1,000–$2,500 per month, with peak season rates reaching $150 per night. Average nightly returns around $80 make annual income estimates of $20,000 per unit realistic—especially during the high-demand months from December through May.

This is more than just a great piece of land—it’s a fully envisioned development opportunity with the heavy lifting already done. With panoramic views, walkable access to the town and surf, and a proven location for tourism, this site is ready for someone to turn vision into value.
