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.
