This great piece of land is 8 hectares of untouched jungle. The land has not be utilized since 2002 which is great for an organic operation that would want to be certified. The property is 200 meters by 400 meters deep and is technically a corner lot. The land is located on the edge of Dzidzantun. A small organic farm was originally planned for this property.
There is a nature preserve to the east. Inside the reserve there is an abandon rock quarry that provides fresh water all year long which creates an intense biodiversity of wildlife in this area. To the north and south is raw land and to the west is pitaya operation. The property is about a 20 minute walk to the zocalo and a 5 minute car ride. Electrical lines run about 100 meters away and the water level depth is only about 5 meters in this area.
Dzidzantun is a wonderful pueblo to live in. It is known as the pueblo of teachers and has a higher standard of living than the average small town in Yucatan. For a town of only 8,000 people there is plenty of produce, meat and dry goods to be found. On Google Maps it does seem far from Merida, but it only takes about 30 minutes to drive to Altabrisa and 15 minutes to Motul. There is a well maintained highway located 10 minutes from the property that takes you straight to the Periferico.
The land is located on the same road that leads to the beach which is located 15 Kilometers north. The beach community is called Santa Clara and this quiet beach town has several seafood restaurants. Also nearby, are endless miles of undeveloped beaches in the area to visit. 590,000 pesos.

Hi! I have 8 hectares or 20 acres for sale. The property is 200 meters by 400 meters and is technically a corner lot. The land is located on the edge of Dzidzantun, Yucatan. A small organic farm was originally planned for this property, but, unfortunately, I have to return to the states. The land is in a great location and has gone untouched since at least Hurricane Isedore in 2002. Not much is on the property that I know of. There could be wells and more but I have only surveyed the land a little. There is a nature preserve to the east. Inside the reserve there is an abandon rock quarry that provides fresh water all year long. So there is a lot of biodiversity in this area. To the north and south is raw land and to the West is a pitaya field The property is about a 20 minute walk to the park and market in town. Electrical lines run about 100 meters away and the water level depth is only about 5 meters in this area.
Dzidzantun is a wonderful pueblo to live in. It is known as the pueblo of teachers and has a higher standard of living than the average small town in Yucatan.

On Google Maps it does seem far from Merida, but it only takes about 45 minutes to drive to Altabrisa and 20 minutes to Motul. There is a nice highway located 10 minutes from the property that takes you straight to the periferico. I do not drive fast, so possibly less time for others. The land is located on the same road that leads to the beach which is located 15 Kilometers north. The beach community is called Santa Clara and there is excellent seafood there. There are also endless undeveloped beaches in the area to visit.
We are asking $35,000 US or 440,000 pesos. That is only 5.5 pesos a square meter. The land is clear and ready for any foreigners to own. We own it under a corporation and it was easy to buy. We have a clear title. Our lawyer was very thorough and made sure there are not debts or other problems with the land. Taxes are 800 pesos a year. Great opportunity for someone who wants to start their own homestead. Please send email if you are interested.
Xavier? Are you on facebook. there is "permacultura en mexico" group. i think he is active there. that also may help you find some more contacts.
There is a guy who gives permaculture classes out of Tulum. I am sure there are others in that area. Valladolid has a decent permaculture community. I am on the other side of the peninsula so I really don't know much about that area. The guy I am referring to I sent a email requesting information on classes a while back. I thought his prices were a little high so I never attended. I think he wanted 10,000 pesos for a one day class introduction class.
Hey you all! So I am in Yucatan Mexico starting my own sustainable homestead and business on a little hacienda that I am renting. I haven't been very active on this site, but I have been reading all the post about rabbits thoroughly. Lots a great information that I am so appreciative that people are willing to share. So after some extensive research on here, other websites and learning about the local commercial farming of rabbits, I am ready to dive right into raising rabbits for profit. I know of restaurants in the nearby city that are interested in the meat and the manure can sell for a good price in this region. I am wondering what suggestions or good advice people might have for raising rabbits in the tropics? I am planning on keeping the rabbits in tractors. I have plenty of space for them to be moved around. I also have plenty of large mature trees that I can use to shelter the tractors in the heat of the day. Its also a great solution for me since I am currently at a rental and will be moving my operations for my own land over the next few years. I am also in a remote area with limited resources. Finding organic feed is just impossible out where I am. I can probably pick some up from a city a hour away, but its not going to be reliable. The plan is to feed them only from things found on the property and garden. So I wondering what tropical plants could the rabbits eat as a staple. I planning on expanding the garden for rabbit feed. But I wonder about thing like bananas, papaya, epazote, etc. Not just the fruits, but the plant themselves. I just asking because most advice, instructions and articles are from the perspective of growers in regions much farther north than I am. I curious on what info I might be missing for the region and conditions that I am facing. I appreciate any insight!

Where in the Yucatan are you located. I am currently living in Merida and about to startup own project. I am looking for sources of education. Salud! Nicholas
I am just beginning to plan out our new green/sustainable home here in Yucatan Mexico. Our biggest challenge is cooling. It is hot and sunny all the time other than when it is raining. I was hoping a cooling tube system would work. But I also was concerned with condensation and mold. I am leaning that it might just not work for this area. any suggestions?
