Casa Claire is a lovingly restored 250 year old residence in the heart of desirable, historic Colonial Santiago. The longtime home of an American artist, the layout of this 2bedroom/2ba traditional Merida house revolves around an airy central courtyard with a tinkling fountain. Several different seating areas, each filled with light, color and whimsical artistry, provide inviting options for morning coffee, reading a book or that evening cocktail. From the courtyard, an exterior staircase ascends to an expansive, fully finished roof terrace, a perfect spot for watching the sunset and catching the evening breezes. This is a property ideally suited for tropical Yucatán’s casual indoor/outdoor lifestyle, a great space for easy entertaining and for adding your own touches, your own story to a space clearly filled with happy memories. Step in from the street, and you find yourself in a large Colonial sala, with soaring ceilings and vintage pasta tile floors. Currently furnished as the formal, indoor dining room, this flexible space offers multiple possibilities and could certainly be configured to serve as a comfortably spacious Living Room or any combination of live/work/studio space. This sala opens up to a large, covered patio with plenty of room for both seating and outdoor dining and immediate access to the ample Mexican style kitchen. The two bedrooms, each with en suite bathroom, are at opposite ends of the property, ensuring optimal privacy and independence. The principal bedroom is at the front of the house, immediately off the sala, and includes a spiral staircase accessing a charming bonus amenity, a mezzanine room big enough to accommodate a single bed or perfect for a studio/office retreat overlooking the patio below. The second bedroom, also with en suite bathroom, is tucked into a tranquil corner at the back of the courtyard. Both bedrooms have AC. This property functioned for many years as a popular short term rental and is offered for sale as is, fully furnished. Whether you are looking for a new full-time home for yourself, a delightful wintertime escape or plan to re-position it as a rental investment, this property has been consistently maintained and is just waiting for a new owner to invest new life into its lovely old walls and beckoning corners

Bright & Breezy Chukum Home in Santa Ana This spacious home in the heart of Santa Ana is full of natural light, smart design, and subtle nods to Yucatán’s architectural heritage. The entire house is finished in chukum, a traditional Mayan material known for keeping things fresh year-round and requiring very little maintenance: perfect for life in Mérida. The lot is long and deep (5.6 meters across and 51 meters long), giving the house a unique layout with multiple open-air moments that tie everything together. When you walk in, you’re welcomed by a front courtyard with exposed mampostería walls and a staircase leading up to a completely independent guest suite. It’s private but still connected to the home through a balcony that overlooks the front yard. Back downstairs, you’ll pass a pantry and laundry area before entering the kitchen and dining room, which open up with floor-to-ceiling iron and glass doors onto the front courtyard. This space is especially striking—there’s a large tree that survived a hurricane 20 years ago, still standing next to the fountain. It’s the kind of spot that makes you pause and breathe, and it’s perfect for entertaining. A concrete pathway leads you toward the center of the home, where you’ll find the living room, full of light and views in every direction: one side to the courtyard with the tree, the other toward the pool. Just next to it is a storage bodega, tucked away but convenient. All throughout the house, you’ll find the same design language: chukum walls, pasta tile floors, and open transitions between spaces. The pool sits just before the back facade of the home, shaded by a “bajareque” pergola, with sour orange trees planted nearby. The downstairs primary suite has its own private patio that connects to the bathroom, while the upstairs bedroom mirrors the layout with a balcony overlooking the pool. All bedrooms include walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms, and the house is fully equipped with appliances and all systems in place for comfortable living. It’s a large, bright, low-maintenance home with a great location in Santa Ana, its only 4 blocks away from Paseo de Montejo—ideal for anyone looking for personality, privacy, and a layout that just makes sense. Price of the property is $9,950,000mxn price in USD will change as the exchange rate fluctuates.
