Luxury Ultra-Modern Mansion in a Gated Community

About this property

Set on the hillside above Baños, this contemporary house commands sweeping views over Cuenca and the valley below. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels wrap the main living and dining areas, so the panorama becomes part of every room. Warm bamboo flooring runs throughout, and the interplay of natural materials gives the home a grounded, considered character: a full-height fieldstone wall anchors the living room, a floating staircase with steel stringers and hardwood treads climbs against it, and exposed brick shelving appears elsewhere as a quieter counterpoint. The open-plan upper level places the kitchen, dining room, and living area in one generous, connected space. The kitchen features a large dark-wood island with bar seating, a gas range, built-in appliances, and a sculptural stainless steel hood. A live-edge dining table seats eight beneath a pendant light fixture suspended from a natural branch, with sliding glass doors opening directly to the garden. A separate sitting room on another level has a stone fireplace, more fieldstone wall cladding, and large picture windows looking onto mature trees and lawn. A secondary kitchen on a lower floor has its own bar counter, stainless steel refrigerator, and wood-finish cabinetry with a graphic tile backsplash, suited to an independent suite or staff quarters. The multi-level layout gives the home seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms across 300 square meters of constructed area, with parking for up to ten vehicles. Built in 2021, the house shows no wear. The finishes throughout reflect deliberate choices: custom millwork, natural stone, handcrafted wood furniture, and skylights that pull afternoon light deep into the interior. The property sits outside the city grid while remaining close to all services, with the views of Cuenca always visible on the horizon.
