PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
This is a property for buyers who value land and independence as much as the house itself. Rather than placing a residence on a largely undeveloped parcel, the current owners have created an established country estate where accommodation, infrastructure, landscaping and recreational spaces are already distributed across nearly seven hectares.
The main building provides 108 m² (1,163 ft²) of living space across two levels. The 72 m² (775 ft²) ground floor forms the principal residence, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the main living and kitchen areas. Above, the 36 m² (388 ft²) Tower Suite provides an additional bedroom, private bathroom, kitchenette, and large terrace, creating a degree of independence while remaining part of the same building. A separate guest casita of approximately 24 m² (258 ft²), with its own bathroom and kitchenette, provides further accommodation for family or visitors.
Outside, the estate gradually transitions from maintained garden and lawn into orchard and natural vegetation. Approximately 30 established fruit trees, a medicinal and herbal garden, fountains, and a small waterfall add variety to the landscape, while paths lead through different parts of the property. Palapas and shaded sitting areas create places to spend time outdoors without concentrating daily life around the house alone.
One of the property’s more unusual features is the integrated lookout tower above the main building. From the upper-level Tower Suite and its terrace, a spiral staircase continues upward to the approximately 6 m² (65 ft²) tower, creating an elevated lookout over the estate and surrounding vegetation.
The infrastructure is equally important to the property’s proposition. Multiple solar installations, substantial battery storage, solar water heating, private wells, irrigation and Starlink have been established to support a high degree of independence from conventional utilities.
The result is not simply a country residence, but an already-established base for a nature-oriented lifestyle—with considerable land, independent guest spaces and room for a future owner to shape the estate according to their own priorities.

LOCATION
The estate lies in the countryside near the small community of Dzitiná, approximately 7 km (4.4 mi) from Acanceh. Its setting provides the privacy and vegetation expected of a rural property while retaining the practical advantage of paved-road access.
The wider area forms part of Yucatán’s cenote region. The state-designated Anillo de Cenotes Geohydrological Reserve extends through municipalities including Seyé and Acanceh and protects a large karst landscape characterized by underground water systems and cenotes.
Nearby Acanceh provides a practical connection to local services and is also home to an important Maya archaeological site, including the Pyramid and Palace of the Stuccoes. The town is connected to Mérida by the regional road network.
For more extensive shopping, healthcare, restaurants, professional services and international connections, Mérida remains within convenient driving distance. This balance between countryside privacy and access to the state capital is one of the property’s principal location advantages.

MÉRIDA
Mérida provides the urban counterpart to the property’s peaceful countryside setting. Yucatán’s capital combines a distinctive historic center with a broad range of restaurants, cultural venues, shopping, healthcare, universities, and modern services.
For national and international owners, Mérida also serves as the region’s principal transportation and service hub. Its international airport, major road connections, and Mérida-Teya Tren Maya Station provide access to destinations throughout the Yucatán Peninsula.
From the property, owners and guests can combine time at the estate with Mérida’s cultural attractions and excursions to Maya archaeological sites, cenotes, historic towns such as Izamal, and the Gulf of Mexico coastline—an attractive combination for both private estate living and destination-oriented hospitality.
