New Listings For Sale.
Beach project startup, Hacienda Palo Alto, north of Bahia starting in Cabuyal.
We have been reporting for years that the area in Ecuador with the most explosive potential is north of Bahia.
Bahia. See below how to get our updated report on Bahia FREE.
Bahia is a wonderful city, small, but large enough for services. There is easy access from Quito and elsewhere. There are big investments pouring into the area.
The spark we suggested would ignite the growth was the completion of this new…
bridge. The bridge over the Chone Estuary.
Next will come…
regular flights from Quito to San Vicente Airport.
Dirt roads from Quito and up and down the coast have been paved into four and six lane highways.
Now there is rapid change and development in Bahia, Ecuador’s first Ecocity. This is the favorite town in the area with a population of 25,000 people located on the mouth of the river – the Rio Chone.
There are clean beaches, a Museum of archeology and art, organic eco-shrimp farms and tourism.
Over the bridge is where we’ll probably see the fastest growth. The towns north of Bahia but still in the lovely province of Manabi are:
San Vicente
Canoa
Cabuyal
Jama
Pedernales
Hacienda Palo Alto is a brand new project… just beginning in Cabuyal, Ecuador. The turnoff to the project is about 12 miles (20 kilometers) north of Canoa.
Currently Cabuyal is a very small town. Expect significant changes over the next few years, mostly due to the upcoming Hacienda Palo Alto.
Highway improvements will reduce the drive from Quito to 4 hours (from 7+ hours last year!).
This is planned to be a gated Community with 24/7 security, underground utilities, fire hydrants, internal paved streets; outdoor showers at the beaches, paved beach access, manager and sales office; clubhouse with pool, bar and gym, helipad, walking trail, children’s playground and beach ranchitos for relaxing.
The plan calls for the majority of the property will be left in its natural state.
The land has creeks and huge ceibo trees, wild orchids, parrots, and howler monkeys.
The beach is mostly sandy and has a gentle slope. There is a nesting area for sea turtles. Waves provide excellent surfing and body surfing. Humpback whales visit July through September.
This is an approved subdivision with 453+ acres and 1 km (.6 mile) of Pacific beach.
There are 166 ~2000 sq. meter (20,000 sq ft.) lots near the beach that are not low-lying, plus fractionals, and homes and some commercial retail. Most of the property is to be left in its natural state.

Salinas Coastal Villa
This villa is less than 5 years old and just 2 blocks from the beach in a quiet, residential area of Salinas.
The home has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, living/dining area, kitchen with ample cabinet space, front porch and back patio with pool and BBQ area.
Even better, there is a nice efficiency suite in the back patio area, which the current owners frequently rent at the rate of $150 to $200 per month.
The property is listed at $82,000.
A Salinas Ecuador real estate broker sent me a note about this low cost condo with a $70,000 asking price.
Many clients are looking for a property with a good amount of interior space, in a nice neighborhood, where they can enjoy the beach life, at a price of under $100,000.
You can look just a few blocks off the beach. Like anywhere else, the ocean front properties in Salinas carry a bigger price than those just off the beach. These off beach properties are often in better shape than those right at the water’s edge as they take less wear and tear from the salt air. Another benefit, the owner of an off-beach property doesn’t have the expense of maintaining a seawall, as many oceanfront property owners do.
A property that fits the bill is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo with service quarters, in a small complex with a nicely landscaped pool area. Sit at the pool and enjoy your own tropical paradise.
Walk just a few blocks to the beach. The condo includes a private parking spot and furnishings.
The asking price is $70,000.
