Ranch, in a natural Paradise
with 12.5 hectares of land (30 acres).
$1,250,000 pesos
A very rare opportunity to purchase paradise land in the Yucatan of Mexico, in a private Expat farming community devoted to an off-grid, quiet, secluded, independent, and sustainable lifestyle.
Rancho Onicheen is located about 1 hour south of Merida and about 2.7 km from the pueblo of Mayapan Municipality. It is presently owned and developed by a retired USA man with experience of 30+ years in building residential communities and homes and hotels. The total ranch has been in its natural state and untouched for hundreds of years. It consists of agricultural land, and both high and low monte with some trees up to 25 meters in height. There is also rich and abundant grass and red dirt for planting, crops and grazing of horses and cows. The rear of the property adjoins a state-owned ecological preserve of several hundred thousand hectares, assuring continued privacy forever.
The entire project is devoted to Solar for its energy needs and all the land sits on an ocean of abundant fresh water.
The present owner lives in a completely off-grid home on adjacent property.
Onicheen’s most convenient feature is you can acquire the property now, without waiting, and be living the dream immediately, with no energy costs for the rest of your life plus an income. The seller is also an active farmer and can plant you asparagus to produce a generous monthly income in the future.
This land is outside the restricted zone, so you can own it in your own name. Many properties in Yucatan may require 4 to 6 months of government inspections or paperwork to be sold. All of the documents on Onicheen have been brought up to date now.
Or, you can acquire the land and the developer will build a house of your choice for a small fee for construction management. The developer/builder has his own crew of local Mayan artisans that would build the home, with exacting attention to detail, and you could expect a completion time of approximately 5 months from start. The developer has several home designs available with an expected completion cost of approximately 20,000 pesos per square meter, including 100% solar, landscaping and planting beds. You can of course, build your own home at a later date using your own builder.
The developer has built a new road to the property at a cost of almost 2 million pesos. The previous trip from the pueblo that took 20 minutes, now takes 4.
Whether you are an individual, or couple, or family, coming to Yucatan to begin an off-grid lifestyle permanently, or just a snow-bird coming for a few months a year, you’d have the security of other expat neighbors next to your land or home for community, security and socialization. For those items you need from time to time from a large store, Merida is only 1 hour away with Sams, Costco, Home Depot, multiple Walmarts and other high end and discount retailers. If you return to your native country for months at a time, you could know that your property was looked after, when you were gone, and ready for your return on a moment’s notice.
Labor from the pueblo is relatively inexpensive here. You can have a gardener or housekeeper and cook for about $12-$15.00 US per day. With a gardener, you can also be assured of having fresh produce to eat while you lived here, or of course you could take care of it all yourself.
If you have desired to escape city and busy living and get to a country retreat, or if you have just desired to retire and come to the inexpensive living and peaceful lifestyle of Yucatan ranch living, maybe a home and small ranch in Onicheen is for you. The seller would consider dividing this tract in two, or selling additional hectares if desired.
