We went house hunting the other day, but found nothing to suit us.  http://mls-ecuador.com/en/search/rs1600198  which you can view here, was too old and the bedroom windows were a mere metre from the street.  However, it had one Ecuadorian feature, an enormous underground cistern 1m squre and 3m deep, in the front yard.   Apparently, before piped water, the tanker truck would come and fill it for you.  Nowadays it gets automatically filled from the system.  However, if the water is turned off for any reason, you have about 3-4 days supply on hand.

http://mls-ecuador.com/en/search/rs1600270 is completely new but boasts a vertical back garden space I would not want to tackle.  As in all Ecuadorian houses, there are no built in cupboards, just an alcove with a hanging rail.

http;//mls-ecuador.com/en/search/rs1600057 has a nice yard with plunge pool and outside shower - something always found with a pool here, but not in RSA!  It was built and lived in by a Chilean family and all the internal doors are those flimsy concertina kind.   Apparently Chile gets a lot of earthquakes, and no-one wants to be trapped in a bedroom with burglar bars on the windows and a warped doorframe.  After the recent quake in Ecuador, they are beginning to look like a good idea.
