Description

The Versailles of the Yucatán, an Ultimate Luxury Hacienda Estate:

There are exceptional properties. There are historic properties. And then there are the rare few that transcend their era to become a legacy.

Born in the 18th century and continuously enriched throughout the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, this extraordinary hacienda is the result of more than 250 years of architectural, artistic, and cultural evolution. Each generation left its mark. Each owner contributed a distinct vision. Each intervention honored the one before it — and the result is a living work of art that has never stopped evolving, yet has never lost its identity.

This is not a restoration. It is a perfection: heritage preserved with exceptional sensitivity and elevated into a complete architectural masterpiece. Every stone wall, arch, courtyard, fountain, garden, and work of art reflects deliberate intention. The estate's architecture fuses the elegance of grand French châteaux with the nobility of Yucatecan tradition, resulting in a heritage residence of genuinely international character.

The Estate:

Spanning 193 hectares (475,952 acres), the property is a fully realized landscape where architecture, gardens, and working agricultural land coexist in harmony — extensive citrus groves, fruit orchards, a rare olive grove, and the quiet of one of the Yucatán's most historically significant Mayan villages. As a privilege reserved for very few properties in the world, the hacienda also encloses a private underground cenote, a singular connection between heritage and nature found nowhere else at this scale.

The project unites three meticulously restored historic hacienda buildings with new construction built in the same architectural language — matched in materials, proportions, textures, and detail so precisely that the entire compound reads as a single, unified work. The estate also preserves original ruins and three historic chimneys, rare architectural survivors of its working past.

Built over 10 years by a team of 80 craftsmen, the hacienda incorporates furniture and artifacts sourced internationally, including columns imported from Europe.

Accommodations:

- 18 suites (dobles and singles), each appointed with high-end amenities: Wi-Fi, television, jacuzzi, and soaking tub
- 24 bathrooms across the estate
- A house outside the property equipped with 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dinning room
- A Villa/Presidential Suite set with 3 bedrooms a spacious living area, a private pool, a private gym, and a hammams — designed for stays defined by absolute exclusivity
- 10 traditional Maya-style casitas

Wellness & Recreation:
The Maya Spa is a dedicated wellness sanctuary inspired by tradition and harmony with nature, featuring:

- 6 private massage cabins for massage, manicure, and pedicure services
- 2 hammams
- A dedicated spa reception for personalized guest coordination
- A fully equipped gym
- Two swimming pools (including a saltwater pool) and an ornamental pond
- A private chapel, appointed with religious artwork and Misericord chairs imported from Europe
- A library, wine cellar, and stables

Dining & Events
The hacienda's culinary infrastructure rivals that of a world-class resort:

- An industrial-capacity professional kitchen sectioned by function — cold room, bakery, meats, and ovens
- A fine-dining restaurant and green event spaces accommodating 200–300 guests
- A kitchen garden supplying fresh, seasonal produce directly to the restaurant
- An intimate reception lounge for smaller groups of approximately 15
- A bar and game room
- Grounds equipped for weddings, celebrations, concerts, and international-caliber events

- 250 olive trees

- Working stables and potential equestrian grounds

- Infrastructure

Despite its serene, secluded setting, the hacienda was engineered from the ground up to meet international hospitality standards:

- Fully underground electrical cabling
- Underground wastewater sanitation system, gravity-fed to an on-site treatment plant
- Underground pressurized water network and underground fiber-optic cabling
- Backup generator with automatic transfer switch
- 30 drilled wells for rainwater management during raining season or tropical storms
- Automatic irrigation system supplied by six 10,000-liter cisterns with pressurized pumps
- 40-meter telecommunications antenna for telephony and Wi-Fi, fitted with lightning protection
Future Development Potential

The estate carries substantial entitlement and vision for continued growth, future plans not included on the sale are:

- A private golf course with an associated club and course-side villas
- Equestrian trails, tennis courts, and padel courts
- A helipad, intended to provide privileged access for club members traveling from Valladolid, Cancún, or Campeche
- 25 additional Maya-style guest houses arranged around a central lagoon, expanding capacity for weddings and group events while preserving the estate's traditional aesthetic

A Legacy Without Equal:

Some properties stand out for their scale. Others for their history. A few for their architecture. Very few combine all three in absolute harmony!

This hacienda does not aim to be the most ostentatious estate in the Yucatán; it aims for something far more difficult to achieve: to be singular, uniting the best of every world it touches. True luxury is not measured only in the magnificence of its spaces, but in the authenticity of its history, its harmony with nature from the region, the excellence of its craftsmanship, and its power to move those who experience it.

A legacy four centuries in the making. A property destined to endure.

Versatility of Use: An incomparable private residence · An unique luxury resort spa · A prestigious heritage hotel · A destination for exclusive events · A family legacy for generations to come
