The Yucatan Peninsula is truly a beautiful place. Nature is not stingy with its charms here. The lush green of the extensive forests and grasslands spoils the eye just as much as the azure blue of the fantastic Caribbean beaches and those on the Gulf of Mexico. The sun regularly makes you feel good about living here and is a constant companion on all excursions to explore the countless attractions and sights throughout the country. Yucatan’s fiery red sunrises and sunsets are nothing short of spectacular, every day anew.

A real paradise for nature lovers is the Hacienda Masul, only about 30 minutes away from Mérida. Literally, every corner of the 3.3 ha (8.15 acres) property is green and blooming. The large Ceiba Trees with their sweeping crowns are just as impressive as the coconut palm grove, the tropical plants, and the dense forest of bamboo trees in which numerous different bird species have found a home.

The hacienda comprises a total of five houses. The three houses in the central living area each have large terraces with filigree roof structures made of sapote hardwood and original French roof shingles. The main house in the center of the living area includes a large living room, dining room, an open plan kitchen with a breakfast bar, and a laundry room. The roof of the main house is suitable for the expansion of a large roof terrace.

The large terrace leads to the living and sleeping area, consisting of two guest houses, which gather around a large open terrace with an old well and a beautiful pool (7 x 3 m) with a fountain. Both guest houses each have a large bathroom with a dressing area. Only the layout of the rooms is different. While one house is equipped with a large, combined living room and bedroom, the other house has two separate rooms, one of which is currently used as an office.

In the front area of the property, near the entrance, there are two more houses. The floor plan of the first house features two bedrooms and a full bathroom. House number two, which is currently inhabited by the staff of the hacienda, has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. In addition, there is a typical Mayan hut made of clay and wood.

The 3.3 ha (8.15 acres) area of the hacienda is delimited by a completely surrounding wall. The property can be entered via three entrances. The main entrance has a cast iron, electric gate. The property is connected to the public power grid of the CFE via a purpose-built power line. A three-phase transformer ensures sufficient power at all times. A connection to the Internet is currently ensured via an antenna.

LOCATION

Hacienda Masul is located in a quiet, idyllic surroundings southwest of Mérida in the municipality of Umán. It can be easily reached via a well-maintained access road, next to which the new power line also runs. Umán itself is one of a total of 106 municipalities in Yucatan and, as a small town, already offers all the amenities to satisfy the needs of daily life. The main architectural attraction, as in many towns in Mexico, is the impressive church in the well-kept center of town.

Mérida

The center of Mérida can be easily reached by car in about 40 minutes via the Carretera Costera del Golfo (MEX 180), a modern four-lane highway. Mérida’s International Airport is even closer to the property at approximately 30 minutes by car. The prosperous capital of Yucatan offers the comforts and interesting, lively lifestyle of a modern metropolis. Visit the impressive historic center, dine at fine restaurants, stroll Paseo Montejo, Mérida’s famous boulevard, enjoy the numerous museums, theaters, and cinemas, delve deep into the Mayan culture, or simply go shopping at one of the large malls. In addition, many major North American retail chains such as Costco, Wal-Mart, or Home Depot, have at least one store here.

Also, very easy to reach from the property are the fantastic sandy beaches of Sisal and Celestun.
