Amazing house. Love the extra terraces and the master as well. Amazing.
Thank you so much!
"Dear, thank you for sharing your gorgeous house. I enjoyed it very much." 😊❤️👍👋
You bet, and thank you so much. Glad you liked it!
Thx 👍
Thank you for watching!
I witnessed (thru your channel of course) when you started speaking about Merida, then the exploration, the idea of real state, the process of buying, the planning of the project, the start of the project, the construction phase and now the completion of the project. It was a long way but congratulations to you and your family for accomplishing your goals.
Thank you so much! It has definitely been a journey, but boy is it worth it now. Thanks for coming along on the journey, now we get to see what the ownership side looks like.
Just found your channel. Wow. Amazing house.
Thank you very much. We absolutely love it.
También me fascina la combinación de los colores son sobrios y elegantes que le brindan a su hogar luminosidad y alegría como la sonrisa de un niño. ¡Felicidades de nuevo Alexander!.
Muchas gracias Pablo. Es un lugar increíblemente relajante para llamar hogar.
@@AlexanderFromKC Lo es y se nota.
It's the finale! Enjoy!
Love to chat about your experience with Henry. I’m in Merida.
Sounds good. Just send me an email alexander@alexanderhowell.com or text at 816-727-7740
Balanced and thoughtful space … well done
Thanks so much, Immanuel!
Congratulations, your Mexican Home is just fantastic
Thank you so much!
The culmination of 2 years…an amazing and absolutely beautiful home! Love all the attention to detail! Can’t wait to see what the rental and management process is like from abroad. I have rentals in central Texas, but very interested in doing something like this in the future. Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so excited, and being able to share this has been really fun. We've met with the rental team, but it's the first time I haven't managed a rental myself, so I'm hoping for a good experience! Fingers crossed.
Wait wut -- where's the BBQ?
So is the 2d floor the AirBnB rental?
It's a really BEAUTIFUL home. Congrats -- and kudos to Henry!
The BBQ was something I noticed almost immediately, so they will be adding the propane/gas line soon... then we get the grill. I'm excited to grill some steak!
Right now the entire house (except for the master bedroom) will be an AirBNB rental, but there is only one entrance from the street. If we're living down there we could have that as the "setup" for renting, but more than likely we'll just enjoy the privacy when we're here. Also, one of the bedrooms upstairs will eventually also work as an office for me.
Thank you so much, and I agree - Henry is awesome!
Great video tour. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful home. Now the big question? How much did you pay? How much is your total investment? And how are you going to recoup your money? Thank you.
I'm going to do a video once we have everything in, and I've been promising it for months - it's my fault. I've been dragging around a Charlie Brown like cloud of injuries and sickness, that I'm very happy to say is almost over lol. That being said we're in around $500k, plus the furniture budget. As I've stated many times on the channel though, that is so far above what anyone would ever need to put into a house like this. We did everything for our own purposes, and had the ability to go over-the-top. One of the reasons I hate stating our "all-in" is that people think you can't get an amazing place unless you spend crazy money. We went with a top architect, put in solar, a large pool, courtyard, water features, kitchen, custom everything, and I look at it and think, "while it was expensive, it's really not when you consider what we have."
That's a long way of saying the house is around $500k, then around $75,000 in all the other stuff.
As far as recouping the money, we'll be renting out everything but the master bedroom. We've already had a family stay there for a week, and we have the first three months of the year rented out at around $4k per month. The home will pay for itself, and then when we retire, we'll rent it out if we're ever not there.
Great questions!
I been following you since the start and it looks fantastic!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Yes you have, and thank you so much! Subscribers like you make this fun and worth it!
Wonderful tour! Glad I can revisit when I want to, at least via video . . . even though it makes me want to be there again even more! Enjoy!
We miss you down here! I'm sure the next time is just around the corner :)
Wow , this looks like a forever home , its so inviting and its real well thought off ! Its increadible what they say about Mexico in the states meanwhile you cant celebrate the fourth of July with inner peace. What a beautiful and diverse country !
It's definitely a forever home, but I have to say that I can celebrate the 4th with inner peace. Each country has a rich history, but all lands have their dark sides as well. I'm fortunate enough to have homes in two beautiful countries that I love.
Side note, if we're talking about diversity the United States is tough to beat.
@@AlexanderFromKC Yes you are right Alexander , but what I was referring to the mass shootings that happened on independence day , thats why I cant have inner peace, I know somebody who had a close call ! And these thing seem to happen more often.
WELCOME HOME"
Thank you!
Beautiful home. Love it! What kind of floors are in the house?
Thank you so much! For the most part we have travertine flooring, and then we have several areas with local pasta tiles as insets.
@@AlexanderFromKC You and your wife have wonderful taste. I love everything about your new build, it’s charming. I’m from the states but Mexico has won my heart so I watch videos on what it’s like living there. I can’t wait to return. Blessings to you
Brilliant home. Architecturally stunning. Luv the solar panels and how the outside is brought inside! A video all about the numbers would be great also (building costs per square foot, breakdown of total cost excluding land etc). Amazing home! Planning a Merida trip to decide if its Merida or Puerto Vallarta we settle in.
Thank you so much, and having visited Puerto Vallarta (which is beautiful), I have to give Merida the tip... but I am obviously bias. I will be doing a video breaking down the cost of the home soon, so stayed tuned for that!
Absolutely beautiful. Is it really hard to find a home with a garage or at least covered parking?. Thanks
Not really. Our house could have easily had a garage, but we decided we wanted the extra living space instead. There are all kinds of houses with covered parking, as well as garages within Merida.
A bit north carports are common. Garcia Gineres for example.
I’m looking forward one day buying property there. At least a condo or apartment in northern part of Mérida. What I understand the maintenance of homes is quiet expensive because of the weather so if I could get an apartment maybe I don’t have to worry so much. Well anyways, keep up the good work and enjoy Mérida.
The maintenance is definitely a factor, which is why we moved away from the idea of beach living. That being said overall if you've built well, maintenance isn't that bad, but I understand paying the rent and not having to deal with the unexpected that comes with a house. When an appliance or air conditioner goes out, it's never a fun day!
Hello! I enjoy your videos. How big is your house and the lot?
Hi and thank you! The lot size is 8 meters (26.25 feet) by 63 meters (206.7 feet). The enclosed space is composed of several different areas, but in total the house is a little more than 4,500 square feet. There are several outdoor spaces as well including pool "area", courtyard, and upstairs patio.
@@AlexanderFromKC is there any way you can share how much did it cost you?
Wow! Congratulations, it is an amazing home! Glad that you and your family are finally enjoying it. It appears the two years in the making was worth the wait. I love the furniture through out the house. Would you be able to share the source and if it is located in Merida? I am in the process of buying a second home and would love to use some of the pieces, specifically the beds. Cheers!
Thank you so much, and as tough as it was to wait for two years, it was definitely worth it when we got here! The furniture was sourced mainly through our architect who has had most of it custom built - Henry Ponce. We also used Calle Veinte for several pieces (thank you again, Henry), as well as most of the material used for cushions, pillows, sheets, etc. They had a few pieces as well, but I'm forgetting which was which lol. The outdoor fabric was Sunbrella, but we ended up buying it in the USA and shipping it here, as even the added cost to ship (still) made it less expensive. Outside of that, mattresses were Costco and some others were pieces we or Henry's team found online.
Amazingly beautiful!!! what was your total cost with renovation?
Thank you! I'm going to be making a video about the cost of the renovation, so I don't want to spoil that here. That being said, I promise I'll make sure you know exactly what went into it soon!
I just watched all the videos and thr house is amazing!!! We are thinking about moving and buying there. May I ask how much the house cost?
I'm going to make a video breaking down the costs, so I haven't mentioned it on the channel yet, but we also went above and beyond, and you can buy a completed house for around $200k that is absolutely amazing down here. We also spent a lot of money on custom pieces throughout, so... that hurt a bit lol. That being said we paid more than double the price I just mentioned.
You should see that video come up in the next week or so!
A great page to go to down here is Nicholas Sanders' Facebook page, he's an agent with Yucatan Beach and City property, and was the listing agent for this house.

How much to rent it?
All of that information is located on Henry Ponce's website (hponcehomes.com/home/details/209/Nikky) OR you can go to AirBNB (bit.ly/CasaNymeria). We have a property management company that handles the home when we're not there. Thanks for asking!
And are you on Airbnb?
We will be, but right now it's basically a pocket listing for our property management company. Our goal is to get the ad setup right for them, and then they will add it to AirBNB when it's completed.
@@AlexanderFromKC I will be following up updates on the rental listings, this looks like a nice place to bring the whole family
Lo único que desentona son los cables supongo que no todo es perfecto en el paraíso.
Los cables se van a arreglar, pero no lo vamos a hacer mientras estemos aquí. El equipo de construcción tiene varios elementos que deben repararse, pero no me importa mirarlos durante una o dos semanas más.
@@AlexanderFromKC Poco a poco esos pequeños detalles de arreglarán.
