Tierra Yucatán presents an exceptional opportunity 2 hours and 45 minutes from Mérida in the southern part of Yucatán. This former sugarcane hacienda comprises two adjacent ranches, being sold together, totaling 984 productive hectares. With historical value as a sugarcane and cattle ranch, this property combines heritage value, ready-to-operate infrastructure, and extraordinary potential for production, ecotourism, or rural development.
Prime location:
The property is located next to the community of Becanchén, with direct access from the highway via a wide, well-maintained road thanks to government investment. This road leads to both parcels of land, which are connected and operate as a single unit. The area offers services, access to labor, and strategic proximity to Tekax, a designated "Pueblo Mágico" (Magical Town), increasing property value and tourism potential. Both ranches are privately owned, completely free of encroachments, and enclosed by perimeter fencing.
Solid and operational infrastructure:
The property features a well between 120 and 160 meters deep, equipped with a new pump less than a year old, recently installed piping, and a constant water supply. The energy system includes a generator and a pair of solar panels with room for expansion. For those who prefer a conventional connection, the approved utility pole plans from CFE (Federal Electricity Commission) are already in place.
The ranch complex is fully operational. There are six main corrals, six horse stalls in use, and another six stalls ready for renovation and expansion. Water troughs, feeders, and internal partitions have all been renovated within the last three years. The ranch also has twelve additional small paddocks, stables, riding areas, and a horse bathing area.
Currently, the ranch maintains thirty head of cattle, eight horses, ten piglets, and approximately thirty poultry. The infrastructure allows for considerable growth, as in previous years the ranch managed over a thousand head of livestock.
The ranch includes a collection of historical relics that speak of its past as a sugarcane plantation. Among them are a sugarcane shredder, antique cargo and pleasure trucks, a traditional mill, and various period tools.
Machinery and warehouses:
The property includes two sheds for machinery and tractors. These include a working Komatsu tractor and two John Deere tractors, one large and one small. The Komatsu and one of the John Deere tractors are currently operational, while the others require minor maintenance. Rails, vintage trucks, and various other implements are also on site.
Town center and housing:
The residential area comprises approximately 650 square meters of buildings. The main hacienda-style house offers a spacious living and dining room, a kitchen with a coal fireplace, gas stove and refrigerator, a master bedroom, two additional rooms, and a full bathroom.
The secondary house serves as a work and service area. It has five spaces configured as a saddle storage room, a chainsaw storage room, two bedrooms, an office, and a kitchen for workers. Several staff residences are also included, which require maintenance.
Beekeeping:
There are between twenty and thirty active beehives under the supervision of a dedicated beekeeper. In earlier times, more than fifty were managed.
Ideal soil and topography:
The land consists of virgin soil with no chemical application. Kancab, Calché, and Cacalum varieties predominate, highly valued for agriculture and livestock. The topography offers elevated areas, wetlands ideal for pasture, and level areas suitable for both planting and infrastructure. Fruit trees such as lemon, orange, and tangerine grow naturally on the ranch, in addition to cedars and mahogany trees planted in recent years that now provide shade and enhance the landscape.
The property has two waterholes that fill up during the rainy season, providing an additional water reserve.
Productive and investment potential
The 984 hectares can operate as a high-yield cattle ranch, agricultural unit, agroforestry project, apiary, or rural tourism and accommodation development. The existing infrastructure, strategic location next to Becanchén, proximity to the Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Tekax, and the ranch's historical heritage make this property a unique opportunity in the region.
