Property description
This magnificent two-century-old colonial residence is a true architectural jewel in the heart of Mérida’s historic center. Built around 1825, it beautifully captures the timeless elegance and grandeur of the colonial era while preserving the living history of the city. From the moment you enter, the majestic façade and original details - high wooden-beamed ceilings, colorful pasta tiles, and handcrafted wooden doors and windows - tell stories of another time with grace and authenticity.
Set on a generous 1,510 m2 (16,257 ft2) lot, the property offers around 800 m2 (8,612 ft2) of refined living space distributed between a stately main house and a separate annex, connected by a lush tropical garden - a tranquil oasis right in the city’s heart. The elegant L-shaped veranda, adorned with arches and columns, frames the garden perfectly and provides an inviting space for quiet moments or sophisticated gatherings under Mérida’s warm skies.
Thanks to its generous size, prime location, and unmistakable charm, this residence offers nearly endless possibilities. Whether envisioned as an exclusive private home, a boutique hotel, an art gallery, or a cultural retreat, this property is more than just real estate - it is a place of history, character, and soul, waiting to be brought back to life.

Mérida
Mérida, the capital of the state of Yucatan and the administrative seat of the municipality of Mérida, boasts a rich and tumultuous history that traces back to the ancient Mayan civilization. The city acquired its name in 1542, bestowed by the Spanish conquistador Francisco de Montejo. As a tribute to him, Mérida's principal boulevard was aptly named Paseo de Montejo. Numerous magnificent colonial buildings in the historic city center stand as a testament to the city's past wealth and exude a truly unique charm. Regarded as the gateway to the captivating realm of the Maya, Mérida attracts countless tourists each year who embark on their journey to explore renowned Mayan sites like Chichen Itzá and Uxmal, thereby immersing themselves in their timeless allure.
From the perspective of its residents, Mérida is widely regarded as a modern city with an exceptional quality of life. It ranks among the safest regions in Mexico, making it a favored destination for North American expats seeking an ideal place to settle down.

Through collaborations with cities like Houston, a remarkable level of medical expertise has been cultivated here, with certain private clinics even surpassing the standards found in leading industrial nations. Of course, the city's favorable climate also plays a crucial role in the overall well-being of its residents.
Experience the delightful lifestyle of Yucatan's vibrant capital. Indulge in its rich history by exploring the awe-inspiring historic center, savor exquisite cuisine in upscale restaurants, and take strolls along the renowned boulevard, Paseo de Montejo.
