Ask a questionAbout Neil Youngson
I left England in 2007 with a round-the-world ticket and set off in search of a better quality of life. In 2008 I arrived in Mexico knowing nothing about the country, but within a few months I knew it was where I wanted to be. A year later I decided to check out Merida and straight away knew it was the place for me - three weeks later I had bought a house! 'When the dust of Mexico has settled on your heart, you will find peace in no other land.' Stan Delaplane
Neil Youngson purchased this house in 2009
Why Neil Youngson chose Centro
I looked at 25 properties in Merida before viewing Casa 503, but when I walked into this partially renovated house I was instantly struck by the feeling of calm and tranquility - the house definitely had good vibes! It took about 8 months of renovation to remodel it into what it is now but it never lost that feeling. It's in a nice neighbourhood, close to a park and supermarket and just far enough away from the noise and bustle of the centre of town, yet close enough to walk to the main plaza.
What makes this house unique
The house has great airflow front to back. The small front garden with bougainvillea makes it possible to open the doors and windows at the front and let the winds from the east blow through the house keeping it cool. The big yard at the back is completely private allowing uninhibited use of the wonderful lap pool, day or night. Over the years the garden has matured into a wonderful tropical space with palm trees, bougainvillea, agaves and cacti. I don't get to spend too much time tending to the garden as the house is rented most of the year but some of my green-fingered guests have asked permission to do a bit of gardening during their stay and I am always happy to for this to happen, but it is not required!
