SALE PRICE:

$1,540,000 USD

Discover the magic of deep Yucatán in this unique 18th-century gem: This henequen hacienda with its private cenote features a historical study with records from 1770 and possibly even older history. Located just 15 minutes from Espita, 35 minutes from one of the 7 modern wonders of the world Chichén Itzá, and 40 minutes from the archaeological site and former mayan city Ek Balam and Valladolid, this property is not only a natural and cultural refuge but also an unparalleled opportunity to live in or invest in a living piece of Mexico’s history.

Unlike many other haciendas, this hacienda is completely isolated from the urban environment and surrounded by 163 hectares of virgin nature, with paths extending through thousands more hectares of jungle preserved by local inhabitants. Its privileged location guarantees absolute privacy, peace, and a deep connection with the Mayan land.

Architecture and Restoration:

The main house, measuring 846 m², has been restored with complete fidelity and respect for the original techniques. The roofs were rebuilt with roisos of heartwood chackté and Bakpec; the walls were built exclusively with stone from the property, with no concrete blocks or bricks. The chukum finishes and the total absence of steel or modern rebar reinforce the authentic character of the hacienda. 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 electrical service, it has water.  And most of the interior electrical installations have been completed, some work is still needed, including exterior installations on the property. The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has already granted approval for electrical service, allowing the future owner to continue the necessary process. We will gladly assist with this process and can connect you with the appropriate experts to help complete the installation.

Additionally, several unrestored structures remain: the old chapel, the tienda de raya (company store), the mayordomo’s house, and over 80 structures that were once workers’ homes. An ancestral stone oven, used to bake traditional bread for the local Maya communities, also remains.

Historical Value:

The hacienda was the most important in the Espita region during its time, with numerous annexes. A historical study in progress 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, via a white dirt path that preserves the natural sense of seclusion. Just 7 minutes from the town of Xuilub and surrounded by protected jungle, it is ideal for eco-tourism projects, spiritual retreats, boutique hotels, or as a private luxury residence.

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