Surrounded by palm filled gardens this wonderful house consists of three rectangular structures that date back to 1850 with evidence of its previous utilitarian life with iron wheels and large beams remnants of its past. One building, [Antigua] houses the living room, 2 kingsize bedrooms, a loft bedroom with a queen and a double and 2 bathrooms and a colonial kitchen. Opposite is another building [Nueva] where a dramatic central hallway is the entrance to 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, all with soaring 26 foot ceilings and 13 foot high doors. The large master bedroom has a sunken living area, and outside within a walled garden is a seating area and plunge pool.

Between these two buildings is the open-air living room and dining pavilion, the loggia is surrounded by lily filled reflecting water ponds and dramatic lighting. From the loggia climb an enclosed spiral staircase to a rooftop lounge and star-viewing platform. Here you can watch the moon, stars, sunset, an approaching storm or enjoy the night breeze. Through a seashell mosaic tunnel from the inner courtyard you find the 40 foot pool. Once the water tank for THE RANCH! The freshwater pool is now a shimmering refuge from the heat of the Yucatan. A steel and bamboo pergola and a playita of shallow water with a hammock suspended above provide areas for rest and shade. Beyond the pool, in a hidden garden you find the regulation size bocce ball court, similar to the European Petanque!

Framing the entire Property are dry stacked stonewalls, tall hedges of Fica and Gabion walls of local limestone. The grounds are filled with exotic rare palms, bamboos, gingers, tropical plants and fruit trees. If looking for a property to celebrate a special occasion this has everything from space and ambience complimented by all the home help required to make it a perfect escape to remember.
