Grand French Colonial Art Nouveau Estate for Sale in Garcia Gineres, Merida, Yucatan

Situated within García Gineres, Merida’s most prestigious and sought-after neighborhood, this extraordinary French Colonial Art Nouveau mansion represents a rare offering of historic elegance and refined modern living. Ideally located just five minutes from Merida Centro and a short drive to shopping, fine dining, boutique hotels, and the best of North Merida, this property offers both privacy and exceptional convenience.
Built in 1915 and impeccably restored, the estate spans approximately 8,000 square feet of living space on an impressive 1,770 m² corner-lot, a quarter of a city block. Enclosed by walls and embraced by mature tropical gardens, the home unfolds as a lush, light-filled private oasis in the heart of the city.
The residence underwent a meticulous, full renovation in 2018, including all new electrical and plumbing systems. Interior finishes reflect a discerning eye for design, featuring Murano glass lighting, Kelly Wearstler fixtures, and Franz Viegener bath fittings throughout. Original restored pasta tile floors, soaring 18 -foot ceilings, and ornately hand carved fully restored French doors on every façade flood the home with natural light and timeless character.
The ground floor is designed for gracious living and entertaining, with formal living and dining rooms opening onto a terrace overlooking the gardens. The luxurious primary suite is a private retreat comprising four distinct rooms: bedroom, spa-style bathroom, dressing room, and den. The bath is finished in Italian statuary marble and complemented by refined silver-plate bedroom hardware.
Across a covered breezeway, the property offers two fully equipped kitchens and service areas with French doors leading directly to a flowering vine covered dining and sitting area: The main kitchen showcases an original canopy over an indoor gas grill and inset gas burners in a hand stippled limestone counter, while the service kitchen is outfitted with stainless-steel counters, a six-burner range, and commercial-grade refrigeration.
A striking floating terrazzo staircase leads to the upper level, where tiled wraparound terraces on three sides provide breathtaking views of the gardens below. Upstairs guest suites are generously sized, each with ensuite baths featuring Italian statuary marble sinks and custom tilework.
The 50-foot pool is framed by multiple terraced patios and lounge areas and the grounds are thoughtfully landscaped with mature gardens, an orange orchard, a raised aqua garden for year-round vegetable growing, and a variety of fruit trees including mandarin, sour orange, banana, and tamarind.
Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated, including mini-split air conditioning in every room for fully zoned climate control, water pressure and softener systems, floating wireless smart TVs, and a two-car garage with additional on-street guest parking.
Rich in history and architectural significance, this exceptional property is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most important legacy homes for sale in Merida, Yucatan, a masterpiece of heritage, scale, and enduring elegance. This home is being offered partially furnished.
