Happy new year!

[@AlmaTheSojourner]

Wow, that's such a gorgeous place, elegant, airy, spacious, warm, you've improved that neighborhood with that beauty, thanks so much for allowing to follow along, and buena suerte.

[@ahaexplore1055]

Thank you. 🙏

[@candicephillips6536]

It’s beautiful. I’ve been checking back to see how everything was going. Sad to see your journey has lead you else where. We closed on ours in Centro Sept 2024 and plan to kick off renovation next year. Your stories helped shape decisions we’ve made along the way re:architect selection and overall expectations. Thanks for bringing us along. 😊

[@ahaexplore1055]

Omg congratulations and good luck. 🍀 I hope everything goes smoothly.

[@NinaBizant]

Beautiful renovation! I'm sorry you went through so much trouble. I wish you all the best!

[@ahaexplore1055]

It was a wild ride but we are excited for what’s next!

[@SlowTravelChronicles]

Looks amazing. Love the stairs and table!

[@ahaexplore1055]

Aww thank you. 🙏

[@DestinationRetirement]

I know the time and patience required to build. I just finished mine after a 2 1/2, almost 3 year build. (By finished I mean I am sitting here doing a punch list). I also understand that feeling of arriving and immediately feeling "at home" when you walk in. You've done an amazing job. For others out there Itzimna is a FABULOUS neighborhood. I would live there in a heartbeat. Best of luck in your next journey.

[@ahaexplore1055]

@@DestinationRetirement Aww 🥰 Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. I’ve followed your journey and geez has it been one. The houses you’ve done are amazing though.

[@DestinationRetirement]

@@ahaexplore1055 Thank you. :) Too bad we missed each other on this trip. Next time.. Abrazos.

[@oyamimaritza4609]

Wow your house is beautiful, I’m sorry you have to sale I wish you the best

[@ahaexplore1055]

Thank you so much! We are sad to see it go but excited for what's next!

[@giljusino]

I live in Asheville and we are considering a move to Mexico. We will be in Merida most of February, if the house is still on the market we would love to see it.

[@ahaexplore1055]

That’s so cool y’all are in Asheville. We are in Charlotte and Boone. We love the high country. I would love for the house to be sold by February but if not you should see it.

[@VAMJJ]

Wow you guys did a fantastic renovation. The house is absolutely beautiful. I'm sure you are disappointed to part ways but life happens.

[@ahaexplore1055]

We agree!

[@DenLD]

It's really lovely. So sad you're selling it.

[@ahaexplore1055]

It really is! But a new chapter has begun.

[@American_Splendor]

Beautiful house! the next one will be easier can I ask you where you bought your sofas?

[@ahaexplore1055]

Lord I hope there’s not another. 🤣 The sofas came from Santa Cruz in colonia mexico. Pretty affordable too.

[@LuisGonzalez-dn4cz]

Hello, Really like the house, wondering how large is the lot, construction size, location and price??? Thanks 🙏🏻

[@ahaexplore1055]

I put the links to the property listings in the description. I hope it has the answers you are looking for.

[@Starbeoghtuser3475]

Would be really, really nice to know how many bedrooms and bathrooms and the square footage

[@ahaexplore1055]

All that information is in the description of the video. Check out the listing.

[@mmartin8877]

Is it not worth short term renting even? It seems to me that getting the money back from overall costs is extremely difficult..

[@ahaexplore1055]

We thought about it but while we are waiting for it to sell we are enjoying it too.

[@Peter-vo3zb]

Hi there, are you able to provide the name of your architect / architectural firm?

[@mariacoronel4580]

Price??

[@ahaexplore1055]

It’s $395k, listing is in the description.

[@williamryorkjtv5470]

How much are you asking for your Mexican house ?

[@ahaexplore1055]

We are asking $395k USD. The property listings are in the description.

[@daveeg53]

how much?

[@ahaexplore1055]

$395k USD. I put the links to the listings in the description if you want to view it.

[@CassieDavis613]

Did you guys break up? Will we hear from you again?

[@ahaexplore1055]

Our work took us back to the states.

[@valm.5243]

@@ahaexplore1055Oh no! At times like these... returning the US? So sorry to hear that. Your home is gorgeous...I'm sure it will sell fast!

[@juliebarsky6761]

I am in North Carolina. My husband and I are considering retirement in Mexico. We are first going to look at Merida. I would love to know if you would consider retirement in Merida. We have been to Yucatan several times as well as other areas in Mexico. Vacation is not full time life. So, we are starting exploration of fulltime living. I understand your job has required your return to the US.

[@ahaexplore1055]

@@juliebarsky6761 Merida is an easy city to live in. I love the heat but it can weigh on you at times. Being able to escape to give you breaks is helpful. Also if living there full time I would get a car. The expat bubbles offer a nice community but there are neighborhoods that can offer a more authentic experience especially when you become friends with locals.

[@CassieDavis613]

@@ahaexplore1055 I'm sorry to hear that. The house is magnificent. Will you be renovating a house in NC? Do you plan to continue YT?

[@stardel]

Very vague as to why you're leaving this home!! is something else going on we would like to know, don't want to move into a new house and there's problems with the structure, gov or the neighborhood 🤔🧐

[@ahaexplore1055]

@@stardel work has taken us back to the US. If you are interested in the house then do your due diligence and check out the neighborhood and structure. Plus there’s a year’s worth of videos of the renovation.
