A modern colonial compound

PHOTOS NEIL YOUNGSON

You can get lost in a place like this, and wouldn’t that be a fun adventure? There are seven bedrooms and eight and-a-half baths, so you could take your time exploring.

And with a three-car garage, you can invite some friends to join you.

This thoughtfully designed and detailed renovation incorporates the classic colonial features you came here for with an elegant, flowing, contemporary design. The staircase alone is a masterpiece.

This sumptuous home, on a 1,150-square-meter lot, is loaded and luxurious, and best of all, your own private compound.

Powering this compound are 32 solar panels, ensuring your filtered pool, up–to–date water systems, 15 A/C inverters, ceiling fans and lights are in working order.

By the numbers

Beautiful ornamental pasta-tile floors run throughout, complemented by shimmering crystal chandeliers, original hardwood windows and doors, and a wonderfully equipped chef’s industrial kitchen. All the appliances are included.

Out back is a spacious yard with mature gardens and fruit trees.

It’s incredible to have this much space and privacy in the city. The location is just close enough to the Centro to be there in a wink but just far enough away from the congestion. A quick hop to nearby Avenida Itzaes takes you to the airport in a snap or easily away to the local beaches, Mayan ruins, haciendas, or pueblo Life.

Mérida’s Parque Centenario and historic zoo are a three-block stroll from this home.
