The unique design of this space has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, that when opened, give you the feeling of being outdoors. Casa Sisal is fully air-conditioned and has ceiling fans in all rooms.
Looking out of the living area on one side you’ll find a patio with a 30-foot lily pond. Walk out the opposite side and enjoy a beautiful 3-sided infinity-edge swimming pool, palapa, and patio with lounge chairs. Your pool overlooks the great lawn that is lined with 18 royal palms and dramatically lit at night.
This home is constructed of hardwoods, limestone and plaster polished to a sleek finish by the ancient Mayan technique called chukum. The ceiling and door heights are 10 feet giving every room a sense of great space. The house is custom furnished, fully equipped and is lit very dramatically.
Guests have complete access to all of Casa Sisal, the Great Lawn and the Bocce Ball court as well. If the other part of the Hacienda does not have guests and you would like a tour, we are very happy to do that.

About the host
Hosted by Jillian McNamara
Being frequent visitors to the Pacific beaches and colonial central Mexico since the 70's we read about the restored haciendas of the Yucatan. In 2001 we went on the first of many "hacienda hopping" trips to the Yucatan. The grandeur, architectural scale, historical and economic relevance and process of restoration of these haciendas intrigued us and soon we were researching haciendas for sale on the internet. It wasn't until we rented a Hacienda for my 50th Birthday in 2003 that we experienced a sense of ownership while entertaining friends and family there. On that trip we toured hacienda Sac Chich, shortly thereafter made an offer and 5 months later it was ours. Sac Chich was the first and only hacienda we looked at for sale. In 2006 we purchased the drying field lands and in 2008 we began construction on Casa Sisal. Casa Sisal opens itself up to the magnificent sky and light of the Yucatan. It is comfortable, magical and serene. We always knew we would someday have a home in Mexico, but always envisioned the Pacific coast or colonial interior. The Yucatan became the pure isolated uncomplicated Mexico that we remembered from travels 30 years ago.
Why they chose this property
Being at Casa Sisal is your opportunity to stop and reset. Surrounded by lush tropical jungle and architectural gems, sometimes you find yourself just sitting taking it all in. Relax in the pool, nap in a hammock, stroll the gardens.
If adventure is more your style, the area is famous for it's crystal blue cenotes (limestone underground swimming holes), Mayan ruins like Chichen Itza, and historical sites. Merida is a city rich with culture, magnificent architecture, award-winning restaurants, and cultural events.
Yucatan's beaches are calm and perfect for a day trip. Take a flamingo tour and follow up with fresh ceviche and a cold drink with your feet in the sand!
