Your hacienda in Merida!  Fabulous private home - the restored Casa Principal of historic Ex- hacienda XCumpich.  This unique house dating from the 1800s has been featured in many books and magazines, amongst them Barbara Stoeltie’s Living in Mexico (Taschen).  Once processing henequen, the “green gold” of Yucatan, Xcumpich is an important part of local history.

With typical spacious high-ceilinged rooms, stone walls, pasta tile floors and antique woodwork, the home is flooded with light, but always naturally cool and airy.  The main house consists of large guest bedroom with bath, library, French- tiled “tejaban” sun room,
big formal dining room, hacienda kitchen, master-bedroom with access to the garden and with a large ante-room which can be used as office or exercise room.  Outdoor living areas are equally important in Yucatan’s year-round summer climate; a tile-roofed terrace for dining, reading, relaxing runs the width of the east side of the house, facing the swimming pool and beyond that, another old rock-built high-ceilinged six-room building (currently storage and service areas) which can easily become an elegant independent guest-house. 

The entire property is walled with high rock walls and has many huge old trees, water features with traditional stone channels to take well water to the gardens and fruit trees. The gardens are extensive should you decide to add more construction; although situated inside Merida’s Periferico (outer loop) and close to major commercial and residential development, once inside the walls of Xcumpich you are in your own peaceful world.

This very special home can be shown by advance appointment only.  Please give us a call at (999) 923-7615.
