Discover the magic of the Yucatán Peninsula in this unique 18th-century gem: This henequen hacienda, complete with its own private cenote, boasts a historical study with records dating back to 1770 and possibly even earlier. Located just 15 minutes from Espita, 35 minutes from one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Chichén Itzá, and 40 minutes from the archaeological site and ancient Mayan city of Ek Balam and Valladolid, this property is not only a natural and cultural haven but also an unparalleled opportunity to live in or invest in a living piece of Mexican history.

Unlike many other haciendas, this one is completely isolated from the urban environment and surrounded by 163 hectares of pristine nature, with trails that extend through thousands more hectares of jungle preserved by local inhabitants. Its privileged location guarantees absolute privacy, peace, and a profound connection with the Mayan land.

Architecture and Restoration:

The main house, measuring 846 square meters, has been restored with complete fidelity and respect for the original techniques. The roofs were rebuilt using heartwood beams from chackté and bakpec trees; the walls were constructed exclusively with stone from the property, without concrete blocks or bricks. The chukum finishes and the total absence of steel or modern rebar reinforce the hacienda’s authentic character. The façade has been preserved as is, as a visual tribute to the passage of time.

Important notice:

The Hacienda is being sold as is and currently does not have electricity, although it does have water. Most of the interior electrical wiring is complete; some work is still needed, including the exterior wiring. There is no connection to the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), although approval for electrical service has been granted. The future owner will need to complete the necessary paperwork. We would be happy to assist with this process and connect you with the experts needed to complete the installation.

In addition, several unrestored structures remain: the old chapel, the company store, the steward’s house, and more than 80 structures that were formerly workers’ dwellings. An ancient stone oven, used for baking traditional bread for local Mayan communities, is also preserved.

The property value in dollars is for reference only and is subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate; the price is set in Mexican pesos at $19,000,000 MXN.

Historical value:

The hacienda was the most important in the Espita region during its time, with numerous annexes. An ongoing historical study has already documented its existence since 1770, and it is expected that even older records will be found, further increasing its cultural and heritage value.

Access and location:

The property is located just 900 meters from the main road, along a white dirt track that preserves a natural sense of seclusion. Only 7 minutes from the village of Xuilub and surrounded by protected rainforest, it is ideal for ecotourism projects, spiritual retreats, boutique hotels, or as a luxury private residence.

This hacienda is not just a property; it’s a legacy. For the visionary investor or the heritage enthusiast, it represents an authentic experience of the most refined and profound Yucatán.

The owner sells in pesos; the price in dollars calculated at 17.06 is for informational purposes only, as currency fluctuations may result in changes without prior notice.
