Modern Hacienda Home for Sale in Merida, Yucatan, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico

Merida Modern Hacienda Estate, Exclusive Area, Seldom Seen

Rare opportunity to have a modern Hacienda style Estate in one of Merida's most exclusive neighborhoods, the best section of the Colonia Mexico. Just two blocks from the famous Paseo Montejo, but with equally impressive and large homes all around to insure a peaceful and tranquil environment. All the best shops and restaurants of the northern section of Merida just a few minutes away, and the coast and beaches less than 30 minutes away along the new 8 lane expressway.

This impressive Estate is located on 1,150 square meters of land, and has a total of 749 meters of construction. The buildings are nicely distributed so that even a large family or group of friends will not feel crowded. The main building has four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, large living-dining area, new custom built kitchen, pantry, laundry room, maid's room & bath. Completely independent from the main building is the guest apartment, with a large bedroom, living-dining area, kitchen and bath. The Gym/Television room currently has seating for TV or movies, and exercise machines, along with a full bathroom. This area could easily be converted into another large, independent bedroom suite.

Built by one of Merida's prosperous families who made the Colonia Mexico one of the city's most sought after areas to live in, the construction of this home is rock solid, with massive columns supporting the wide and lengthy terrace that complements both exterior garden areas, towards the main entrance, and also towards the swimming pool, gardens and the apartment. This ample terrace really gives the home a traditional Hacienda look, and is great for enjoying the cool afternoons and evenings. The gardens were planned and planted by the current owners, creating more of the country, Hacienda ambiance. Sitting on the terrace and among the palms and other trees, you would scarcely believe that you are just minutes away from the center of the Yucatan Peninsula's Capital City! The swimming pool was enlarged and re-surfaced, and has its own automatic filtration system. An extra patio next to the pool also gives access to the gym bathroom for use outside.

Inside the main building, one of the many outstanding features are the perfectly preserved and maintained, solid tropical hardwood closets and doors. these have all been re-conditioned and will never deteriorate with occasional repainting. All bathrooms were completely re-done with the best modern fixtures, each one in a different tone and style. The kitchen was custom made and installed by one of Merida's best kitchen and cabinet makers. All the floors are made of marble pieces set in concrete, except the bathrooms where deluxe ceramic tile was part of the remodeling process. The extra wide main hallway through the main building, the very high ceilings, and the ample living-dining areas, all give the home a feel of spaciousness.

There are many details that might escape the casual observer. The roof of the house is made from antique French roof tiles, salvaged from old estates in the area, and dating from the days when tiles were brought over as ballast in ships arriving to load up with commodities from the Yucatan. Of the seven LG mini-split air conditioning units, the most efficient around, two are the new line of decorator styles with paintings in the center and exits for cold air on all four sides. As part of the outside illumination, terrace ceiling lights have onyx frames as an extra touch. Of the four fountains found on the property, three are larger ones, and the fourth is the lion's head fountain at the end of the swimming pool. The swimming pool has both a deep and shallow end, with a divider between them. In the living-dining area you will find four original, antique cut glass chandeliers. In the apartment, the kitchen counter and the dining area counter are solid marble. All rooms in the house and apartment have drapes, several are custom made. Finally, the estate commands an impressive frontage stretching 1/2 block along the main entrance street, and another 50 meters around the corner where the service entrance is located.

This estate gives the buyer an opportunity to move into a fully functioning luxury home, with everything in perfect working condition. If you are looking for a unique and large home done in traditional Yucatan country style, but with modern touches where needed, you will be impressed! The owners are property developers who have several homes in the Yucatan Peninsula, as well as beachfront land developments, and we have come to the conclusion that we simply are not getting much use out of this beautiful home, so we would rather have it in the hands of someone who can.
