Colonial Mansion in Merida
Property # 261

This grand colonial mansion was once a principal casona originally surrounded by several hectares of land in the oldest historic district of central Merida. It has now been completely and faithfully restored and is offered for sale at $545,000 U.S..

Extensive renovation, planned and executed with the insight and daily oversight by exacting German designers, has created a large space that provides personal and intimate living accommodations as well as areas suitable for receiving large numbers of guests.

The vast yet gracious and airy house, washed in natural light from 29 skylights, is distinguished by the owners` passion to faithfully renovate the structure guided by the elegance of colonial Yucatan style. Beside an all-new infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, wiring, a/c, appliances, lighting, etc.), the house offers vaulting arches, ceilings 5 meters (16.5-ft) high, 14 generous-sized rooms and reception areas, mosaic tile floors, an interior patio with fountain, stone walls, and interior and exterior doors 2.8 mtrs (9.25-ft) tall made on site of native cedro wood. The living space occupies 465 sq mtrs, or 4,600 sq ft.

The property (1,260 sq mtrs, or 12,475 sq ft) presents a large and high-walled tropical garden, a fish pond, garage, and a swimming pool (5 mtrs x 12 mtrs, or 16.5 ft x 39.6 ft) with cabana. An exterior staircase, inspired to resemble a conch shell, leads to the roof where new owners will be tempted to establish a terrace garden with 360-degree views of the city.

It is a 25-minute walk from the house to Merida`s central plaza, and the house stands in a well-maintained section of the neighborhood that is 1.5 blocks from the most historic church of San Sebastian.

This particular property and a house of this size, design, and condition are unique in Merida.
