Hacienda apartment Merida is an extraordinary offering: an 18th-century henequén estate with a private cenote, set within 163 hectares of pristine Yucatán jungle. This hacienda apartment Merida offers absolute privacy, bounded by ancient Mayan lands and just minutes from notable sites such as Chichén Itzá, Ek Balam, and Valladolid.
The architectural spirit is preserved with precise restoration techniques, honoring original stonework, chukum finishes, and hand-hewn wood—completely absent of modern steel or block. The 846 m² main house comprises six bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, and is anchored by a traditional kitchen with a comal and stone mill. Expansive dining and lounge areas open onto colonial corridors and terraces, while the swimming pool and pond look out over jungle canopy and curated orchard.
A descent to the cenote reveals a cave alive with clear waters and native birdlife, accessed by hand-built zapote wood stairs. The estate retains historical features—original noria, stone corral, and structures—alongside unrestored buildings that hint at the property’s significance since at least 1770.
Accessed via a secluded white dirt path, this property is just seven minutes from Xuilub and fifteen from Espita, offering rare seclusion with vital proximity. The estate is suited for private living, spiritual retreat, or a visionary eco destination—a legacy rooted in the land and culture of Yucatán.
