The Property and Renovation Potential

This is a two-story traditional building in need of a full renovation, offering a total constructed area of 127.34 m².

• Striking Architecture: The structure stands out with its thick volcanic stone walls, beautifully dressed stone corners (cunhais), large windows that ensure excellent natural light, and an elegant double exterior staircase that gives the facade immense personality.

• A Project Tailored to You: The interior requires a complete overhaul (roof, floors, framework, and utilities), providing a blank canvas to design a contemporary, comfortable home while preserving the historic soul of the original design.

Exclusive Off-Grid Sustainability

Located in a pristine area where connection to nature is absolute, the property is not connected to the public water or electricity grids. This makes it the perfect setting for a cutting-edge eco-project:

• Energy self-sufficiency via solar photovoltaic panels and battery storage systems.

• Water supply managed through modern rainwater harvesting and filtration systems.

The Land and Natural Surroundings

The house sits on a 1,146 m² plot of land with a gentle slope. The grounds feature mature trees and offer ample space to create a private botanical garden, an organic vegetable patch, or outdoor lounge areas completely hidden within the landscape.

• Guaranteed Absolute Privacy: Situated along the road that leads to the iconic Caldeira mountain top, new construction in this area is strictly limited. There are scarcely any neighbors around, ensuring your peace, quiet, and privacy will never be compromised.

• Panoramic Views: Enjoy partial views of the Atlantic Ocean to the south, beautifully complemented by breathtaking vistas over the Flamengos valley, rolling green pastures, and dense cryptomeria forests.
