What's
this site all about?
We
are offering for sale a future Condominium, a big plot of 10.000
m2 right in the center of Saquarema, at the lagoons edge with private
beach and surrounded by tropical gardens
This home is ready to move in, completely furnished and one of eight
planned units
1. What's the surrounding area like?............................
 
The
area is situated 80 km north of Rio de Janeiro in Saquarema, a booming
seaside tourist resort of about 80.000 inhabitants. Saquarema is set
by the sea but at the same time borders on four big saltwater lagoons
surrounded by lush tropical mountains. It is a lovely town blessed
with endless white sandy beaches, and untouched by mass tourism.
2. Where in Saquarema is the property?....
The
houses lie in the fishing village of Boqueirao, an important part
of Saquarema. The property lies about 400 meters from the sea, and
has its own beach to the lagoon. It is the biggest plot at lagoons
edge right in the center of a residencial area.
Boqueirao has its own town centre with school, restaurants and of
course bus connections. Both Brazilians and Europeans have spotted
the charms of this special area, and consequently the area is visibly
"on the up".

3. Dimensions of the property
This
plot is extraordinarily large even by Brazilian standards: 10.000
m2 (one hectar, about 2.5 acres). In comparison, a typical plot in
Saquaremas residencial areas is usually only 450 m2.
This
is the only plot with that dimension in the centre of Saquarema! All
the single plots were bought during years one after the other to be
united afterwards. Properties at the lagoons edge meanwhile are very
rare and highly valued, but the market is practically empty.
A
property like that should be treated with care. This is why we planned
only eight individual houses and one house with apartments in the
center, where has been the old mansion of an army general once. Two
houses are already finished. Because one of these houses could be
divided into two separate units, we speak about three finished units
totally.
The
first step after the planning of the project was to give the garden
its final structure. Trees need some years to grow, but a house will
be build in about six months. So the tropical garden already is in
nearly perfect shape and is maintained by a gardener. Old trees are
mixed with palm trees. In the center you find an enormous fig tree
of the times of the Indios! The whole project was planned with German
architects and today you already will find a really nice and charming
area.
Idee-1:
Move
in one of the finished houses. In case you decide to buy the whole
property, we will finish the reunion of the plots and we pay for the
papers. With some marketing you will sell the other plots in a short
time. Start the construction of the individual houses with the deposit
money of your clients. Finally you sell even your own house or you
continue to stay in the condo and rent out the houses for your clients
when they are not in Brazil. Interesting
idea?
4. Financial brackets
The price for the whole plot including the three house units and the
garages is only 540.000 Reais, which is about 210.000 Euro or about
310.000 US$.
The
price for bare land without structures is in Boqueirao about 65 Reais
per sqmt, for lagoons area about 80 Reais/ sqmt. We have to reduce
the price a bit because within 30 meters (the beach) you will not
be allowed to construct in Brazil. Calculating the construction, houses
and garages, the whole property results in a fair value of 750.000
to 800.000 Reais. We ask for 540.000 Reais. So the price is at the
lower limit and is not open to further negotiation.
5. Conditions and procedure
There is only one owner, so the transfer to the new owner would be
very straightforward.
The single plots until now are not united, so before the transfer
will be started that has to be done to pay less transfer costs. That
will need about one month, but will be paid by the actual owner and
does not affect the new owner.

6. Why I am selling this property?
The reason
I am selling the property is simple: I am 64 years old and recently
got some serious problems with my health, forcing me to reduce my
activities. We have three complexes here in Brazil and have decided
to sell two of them, keeping the third and for me the most important.
In
Germany I still have a house about 20 km from one of the best heart
clinics. To minimize my risk, I will stay much more time in Germany
until a possible operation will give me a less risky future. This
is the reason why and that of course gives a good chance to somebody
interested to continue with this interesting and financially attractive
project. So I have to exchange money against time, that means to gain
more time in the rest of my life, I have to give money away.
The selling price is really low and gives the new owner a good chance
to increase the invested money in a short time. The whole property
should (and will) be permitted as condo and then the selling of separate
plots can be started immediately. But from the first moment on, the
new owner can live in one of the houses and rent out another one.
So, this project seems to be ideal for everyone looking for a better
lifestyle in Brazil, but with some activities. And earn good money
beside as well.
Idee-2
Now you have seen the whole area and know that everything is fantastic,
…..the whole project seems to be what you always wanted to do,
but unfortunately you don´t have the complete capital to invest!
Let us speak about a way to finance it
in a fair and safe way for both parts.
Interesting idea?
7. Quality and Lifestyle
Condominiums are without doubt a great idea: on the plus side, they
offer an excellent way of sharing the cost of much needed facilities
such as security, swimming pools, barbecues and gardens. On the minus
side, in Brazil as everywhere else, they are generally uniformly built,
and then they are built too close together. On top of that, the effort
put into the planning is usually minimal, with a few plants thrown
in after the event to disguise the fact.
This
Condominium is something quite different:
On a 10.000 square metre plot we have planned to build only 8 or 9
individual houses plus a handful of apartments contained in one additional
house. Each unit takes up approx. 1000 m2, sheltered from it´s
neighbours by imaginatively and intelligently planned mature tropical
gardens. The inhabitants are able to live together, without living
on top of one another.
We
basically are speaking about individual houses, not apartments. There
are some models, that could be considered as basic ideas and of course
should be changed in each individual case. This project was accompanied
by German architects during 6 months.

The
idea to plan the garden before the houses were constructed is extraordinary
but contains great logic: a palm tree needs some years to grow. And
the buyer of a plot doesn´t need too much fantasy to plan his
house in the existing garden ambiente and will not be forced to look
out in a treeless desert.
In
Brazil this kind of sympathetic approach to such a project is extremely
rare. We could only find one condominium, in southern Brazil, which
was planned in a similar way. Within three months it was completely
sold out of units! So there is evidently a good market for condomiums
of this type! Obviously, foreign buyers do not want to live crammed
together in rabbit hutches!
8. Description of the area
There
is a private sandy beach to the lagoon. This is the 30 meter protection
zone, where you will not be allowed to build in Brazil. Integrated
in the beach zone are two round marina places connected to the lagoon
for the boats of the house-owners. The swimming pool is still a pond,
but the areas for sunbathing and relaxing under an enormous Brazilian
cherry tree are nearly all completed. The perimeter walls need to
be increased in height and provided with gates.
Two
houses are finished and are used as fully furnished guesthouses. In
a Condominium you need a garage for each house: Two double garages
are already built, one side is used for tennis training. Three house
units are ready. One of the romantic houses is waiting for its twin
to be built on the rear, but the foundations already exist.
The green heart of the property is the garden. Bamboo, palm trees
from all over Brazil, big trees and a wide open space in the center,
everything is ready. Under the old Mango trees you find small places
to sit or meditate in the hammock. Small ponds with Japanese bridges.
There are no moscitos coming from the saltwater lagoon! So, as it
is, evidently it will not be difficult to imagine paradise!
9.
The legal structure of the property
The property has the legal form of “Forro”, a kind of
leasehold. About 50% of all properties in Saquarema have this structure.
There will be a transfer tax of only 7% on top of the selling price
once to be paid to the town. Anually there is the normal tax for properties
(not very high) and a small fee to be paid to the mayor for the leasehold
too.

10. What's missing?
Of
course there are lots of other questions: Brazil? Saquarema? Is
it really one of the most attractive towns in Brazil? Is everything
o.k. with the papers? How do I transfer the money? Above all, I
want to see it before I decide. Do they have a guesthouse for me?
We are well known for our expertise in helping newcomers to find
their feet and settle here in Saquarema, and where a project has
been one of our own such as this, we would be even more committed
than usual to assist on an ongoing basis in whatever way possible.
