Standing on 9.5 hectares of land with access on quiet paved roads, it is a perfect location for a home or boutique hotel. The solid construction, some with bathrooms, is easily convertible into charming accommodations for families or paying guests. The main house is generous and open, with large living and dining rooms, a former chapel, and a long arched terrace with stone columns.

There are several stone pools (once irrigation tanks), eight wells, two waterwheels, and lush green gardens surrounding the property. The hacienda's main house is elevated 4 meters above ground level, so there are no flooding problems and water drainage is rapid. Nearby tourist attractions include the Ake Ruins—a large, nearly deserted Mayan ceremonial center and working hacienda where you can see henequen fiber being processed and spun into twine—the green gold that brought enormous wealth to Yucatán in the 1800s and early 1900s. Izamal, a magical town, is a short drive away and worth a visit for its massive convent, pyramids right in the historic center, and its beauty as a colonial city.
