Expansive Colonial Home with Garden Oasis in La Ermita

Located just steps from La Ermita Park, this rare colonial property stretches deep into the block, offering a unique opportunity for transformation. With a stately facade, sprawling gardens, and a versatile layout, the home holds immense potential for a large family residence, boutique hotel, or creative restoration project.

Outdoor Living

A long garden path flanked by lush greenery leads from the front of the property to a shaded rear terrace covered in climbing vines. The expansive back garden is dotted with mature trees and offers plenty of room to add a pool, guest casitas, or even more outdoor living areas. The tranquil setting feels worlds away while being right in Centro.

Layout and Potential

Currently distributed across various sections, the home includes a mix of finished and unfinished spaces. In its present state, there are 3 bathrooms and enough existing structure to accommodate up to 7 bedrooms. The central area features soaring ceilings, pasta tiles, and wooden doors, while the rear additions open directly onto the gardens and terrace.
This flexible layout makes it ideal for a multi-unit conversion, a B&B, or a large private residence with independent guest quarters.

Kitchen and Interior Details

The kitchen overlooks the garden and is finished with artisanal tilework and wooden cabinetry. Throughout the main living spaces, period details like ironwork, beams, and antique doors remain intact, offering a strong architectural foundation to build upon.

Location

Tucked into one of Mérida Centro’s most iconic and walkable neighborhoods, La Ermita is known for its village-like charm, historic church, and leafy park. It offers a peaceful atmosphere with close proximity to downtown dining, galleries, and shopping.
