A Truly Extraordinary Mérida Property – A Private Botanical Sanctuary

You will fall in love with this extraordinary property! Whether you dream of creating a luxurious spa or wellness retreat, a peaceful retirement villa, a digital nomad co-living and coworking space, a boutique Airbnb rental, or a spectacular family home, the possibilities are endless. Here, the only limit is your imagination.

A Property with a Remarkable Story

This unique home has been featured in Landuum, a magazine dedicated to landscape architecture and design, in an article celebrating its remarkable garden and the sanctuary it provides for overlooked plant species. Its gardens and, more recently, its Arboretum have also been the focus of a published book, multiple documentary films, and numerous newspaper and magazine articles.

Among its notable appearances are a 1994 Discovery Channel production hosted by Olivia Newton-John and a 1995 documentary for Germany’s ZDF television network.

Nature, Tranquility, and Exceptional Comfort

If you dream of being surrounded by nature, privacy, and tranquility without sacrificing convenience, look no further. Located in one of Mérida’s most desirable neighborhoods, the property is less than 10 minutes from Hospital El Faro, one of the city’s leading medical facilities.

The house has been thoughtfully designed to stay naturally cool, featuring high ceilings, excellent cross-ventilation, and a distinctive rounded architectural form. Even during the hottest summer months, the expansive swimming pool offers a refreshing retreat.

Elevated more than two meters above street level, the house has never experienced flooding. Two wells help secure the property’s water supply, while solar panels keep electricity costs low.

Your Own Botanical Paradise

The true magic of this property lies in its magnificent botanical garden, a lush, living sanctuary featuring more than 300 plant species. Indigenous and exotic palms, gingers, heliconias, orchids, and countless other varieties create an extraordinary landscape of color, texture, and tropical beauty.

This thriving ecosystem attracts more than 50 species of birds, native stingless bees, and other wildlife, making the garden a haven for nature lovers and an inspiring setting for wellness, relaxation, and outdoor living.

At the heart of this botanical treasure is a remarkable collection of 26 indigenous and threatened Mayan fruit trees. This collection became the foundation for a tree nursery and helped inspire the creation of the Arboretum de Frutales Mayas, recognized as the first public-space museum of native Mayan fruit trees in the Americas. Located in the main plaza of Cholul, the arboretum celebrates the region’s botanical heritage and the importance of preserving its native fruit-tree species.

A Rare Opportunity to Own Something Truly Special

Guests and visitors are invariably captivated the moment they walk through the door. The combination of distinctive architecture, a rich history, exceptional natural surroundings, and a thriving botanical garden makes this property unlike anything else in Mérida.

Whether you envision a private tropical sanctuary, an innovative hospitality concept, a wellness destination, or an extraordinary home, this is a rare opportunity to own a property with a story, a soul, and possibilities limited only by your imagination.

Note: This property has a conference room! It would make an amazing eco retreat and boutique hotel.
