THÓ Land: A Unique Opportunity in the Cuxtal Reserve

The THÓ property is a private land located in the ecological conservation zone of the Cuxtal Reserve, southeast of Mérida. Within a protected area, this land offers exclusivity and direct contact with nature, with permits for sustainable projects such as glamping (luxury accommodations in nature) and cultivation of cedar and mahogany, high-demand woods that generate long-term income (15–18 years).

Land Features

Size: 5.4 hectares

Location: 2.3 km from the San Pedro Chimay commissary, near the Tahdzibichén and San Pedro Chimay haciendas

Services: Electricity available and potential use of groundwater

Permits: Approved for glamping and fine wood plantations

Environmental Authorization

The property holds official authorization from SEMARNAT (Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources) to cultivate cedar and mahogany within a designated area of the land.
This valuable timber resource has strong demand both in the local and export markets.
SEMARNAT approved a planting density of 400 trees per hectare, ensuring a sustainable and profitable forestry model.

Using smart irrigation, natural fertilizers, and weed control, the wood harvest could fully recover the initial investment in the 5.4-hectare property within 15 to 18 years, depending on the desired trunk thickness (20–30 cm).
Water for irrigation can be extracted from a subsoil well at a depth of 10–12 meters, and once the cycle is complete, the process can be restarted for continuous yield.

Flexible Land Use

The distribution of land between glamping and forestry activities is flexible, allowing you to decide the ideal balance between both economic models.
A recommended plan is to reserve 1 hectare for real estate or glamping development and 4.4 hectares for cedar and mahogany cultivation.

This combination of eco-tourism and sustainable forestry creates a synergic investment strategy—each activity en
