16.6 ACRES OF PRIVATE YUCATAN A COUNTRY ESTATE NEAR ACANCEH & THE HOMÚN CENOTE REGION

Description

- An exceptional opportunity to own 16.6 acres (6.7 hectares) of private Yucatán countryside, located just 8 minutes from the traditional town of Acanceh and approximately 35 minutes from Mérida. Set within the natural landscape of central Yucatán, the property offers an unusual combination of privacy, established gardens, jungle, comfortable living spaces and extensive land, while remaining within easy reach of the capital.
- At the heart of the property is a charming country house surrounded by mature tropical gardens and natural vegetation. The main residence offers approximately 108 m² of interior living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by terraces and outdoor living areas that take advantage of the surrounding landscape. A private plunge pool and palapa create a relaxed setting for enjoying the warm Yucatecan climate, while a private lookout tower rises above the property and provides views across the surrounding jungle.
- The property also includes a separate guest casita of approximately 24 m², providing additional privacy for family and friends with its own bathroom, kitchenette, covered terrace and palapa. An independent studio suite within the main residence offers yet another flexible space for guests, visitors, a home office or longer-term accommodation.
- The surrounding 6.7 hectares are an important part of the property's character. Mature gardens transition into areas of natural Yucatecan jungle, creating a sense of seclusion and connection with nature. The grounds include approximately 30 established fruit trees, a medicinal and herbal garden, landscaped areas, walking paths, water features and a private enclosed field. There is ample space to continue developing the gardens or simply enjoy the extraordinary amount of open land and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find so close to Mérida.
- The property was designed with a high degree of independence in mind. Several solar power systems, battery storage, solar hot-water systems, private wells, water pumps and irrigation infrastructure provide substantial autonomy. Additional features include a covered solar-panel carport, laundry and storage areas, as well as Starlink internet.
- Its location adds another dimension to the property. Acanceh provides an authentic glimpse of everyday Yucatecan life, while the surrounding region is known for its cenotes, traditional Maya communities and countryside attractions. The property is particularly well positioned for exploring the Acanceh–Cuzamá–Homún cenote region, one of the most distinctive natural areas within easy reach of Mérida.
- This is not simply a country house on a large piece of land. It is an established private retreat, with residences, gardens, natural landscape and infrastructure already in place. For someone looking for privacy and space in Yucatán, it offers the opportunity to enjoy an existing property while still having the land and flexibility to create something uniquely their own.
