Hacienda San Pedro Chimay is located in the Mérida Municipality in the state of Yucatán in southeastern Mexico.

[3] On 28 June 1993 the Cuxtal Ecological Reserve was designated to protect the history of the 7 large haciendas, their adjoining pueblas, 12 minor archaeological sites, 6 cenotes and one of Mérida's important water supply stations.

In the eastern corner of the corridor which slopes upward, one of the column capitals evidences a stone with a different cut than the others, which may have the frets of a Mayan temple.

This wide corridor of multiple arches supported by pillars and decorative capitals is a unique feature of the hacienda.

Another large green area precedes the entrance to the main house and to the east side are the former stables.

A wide stone staircase connects to the entrance on the north side of the main house, where evidence of neoclassical and French influences of the nineteenth century are seen.

[4] All of the henequen plantations ceased to exist as autonomous communities with the agrarian land reform implemented by President Lazaro Cardenas in 1937.

His decree turned the haciendas into collective ejidos, leaving only 150 hectares to the former landowners for use as private property.

After 1937, figures indicate those living in the community, as the remaining Hacienda San Pedro Chimay houses only the owner's immediate family.
