Well this place is for sale and or lease:

My only knowledge of the price is it's surely out of my range. They do lease it for events such as weddings. The day I was there they were filming a Mexican soap opera. I took some photo's of the set and production. A very nice, very large well spoken man informed me photos were not allowed and asked to see my camera. He went frame by frame and deleted all the photos of the set I'd taken and handed me back my camera. He was very polite about it and left all the photo's I took of the rest of the property. I asked him if it was alright to watch while they filmed and he said "as long as you don't photograph anything and are quiet it's not a problem." I watched them do the same scene over and over for a while. Two very large breasted women nearly falling out of their dresses were doing some scene. all I could understand was "He's you're brother!"... "I told you he's not my brother!" Over and over again. it was interesting watching them go from very heated conversation to "Cut!" and laughter. When it started raining again they (the ladies) went inside and I headed for shelter myself. Sadly I would have preferred to share their shelter but ended up in the gift shop instead.
Here's a few more photo's I was allowed to keep:

If Merida did indeed have more millionaire's then any where else on earth at the turn of the 20th century, imagine all the cash that went through this safe:
More random machinery:

At the end of this courtyard and down a few steps is where they were filming:
