Historic Hacienda for Sale in Tekit, Yucatan, Mexico

Hacienda with Cenotes, 1,004 Acre Nature Paradise

There are several good reasons to buy this hacienda:
1. Great Location
2. Attractive price
3. Unspoiled beauty
4. Buildings and layout that lend themselves to a variety of uses
5. Clean title

Let's look at each in turn...
1. It is in a great location on the 3 major tourist routes of the Yucatan peninsula (Puuc Route, Convent Route, and Cenote Route)--all pass within 10 miles of the property. The Mayapan ruins are 15 minutes away, and this is the proposed site for the new "Museo del Mundo Maya" which is intended to be the most important museum on this subject in the world. The highway passing Tekit, the nearest large town, is the main highway linking two state capitals, Quintana Roo's Chetumal and its amazing beaches, and Yucatan's Merida, and its beautiful mansions and leafy boulevards.

2. There are 9 cenotes that we know of to date on the property, each unique and different and as grand as any you would see on a tourist route. They are unique geological formations, astoundingly beautiful, and in most countries you would never be able to buy these things. There are no other properties for sale that have as many cenotes on them. The per hectare price is also attractive because of the overall size. It is also unusual in the Yucatan to find such a large parcel of land.

3. The natural paradise of this hacienda has remained totally undisturbed for 20 years minimum, with large parts of it untouched for 40 years or more. There are a number of beautiful large trees, wildlife is abundant and greatly varied--it really feels like a garden of Eden.

4. the buildings that are there we have begun restoration of. They have some historic interest, the restoration is true to the original, but of higher quality--and using traditional construction techniques. The new roofs will last for 200 years. The buildings are neither so numerous as to be too much, or too small to be inconsequential. They are ideally placed to be part of a family home and guesthouses--or to be used for the creation of a hotel or dude ranch.

5. Clean title..l paperwork and titles were handled by a government appointed notary, have been checked and are in good standing. A full survey is available. Google earth coordinates as well.

The hacienda would lend itself to a variety of uses, and in particular it would be ideal for:

1. People looking for total silence and total privacy: the nearest village is 11 km away. The entry road to the house is 2.4 km, so you have complete privacy. The only time you ever hear someone is when they are coming to visit you. As such it would be perfect for a retreat.
2. Eco-hotel: the nature all around is spectacular and makes you want to linger
3. Tourist hotel: situated in the heart of the major tourist routes, near many of the major ruins, it is a magical base
4. dude ranch: ideal as a horse farm, using the old rail beds as riding trails with stops at the cenotes, a truly magical place to learn to ride a horse
5. hardwood plantation: there are many indigenous hardwoods ready for harvest buying time to let new planting to grow
6. honey farm: this area is one the top areas for honey production and Yucatan honey is exported successfully all over the world. we are currently producing honey on the property
7. other agriculture: people are commercially growing henequen, agave, ornamental palms, citrus, and banana in the area as well as bamboo..l possible here due to plentiful water
8. cattle ranching: nearby ranches are doing this very successfully by growing grass and running feedlot operations.

This hacienda is magic and it will sell to someone with vision and the eye for a bargain.
