Few would argue that Pipa Beach is northeast Brazil’s pick of the bunch, but some would prefer to set their sights higher than a pocket-money priced off-plan apartment and take the plunge on a key-ready, private luxury villa – and at little over 200,000 pounds for three spacious bedrooms and glorious sea views, why not?
Samantha Gore, Head of Sales & Marketing for Brazil property agents www.uv10.com comments, “When people consider emerging markets they sometimes envisage swathes of untouched land waiting for the developers to move in and fashion resorts from the foundations upwards, with the assumption that they will have to wait a good five to ten years before the area finds its ‘soul’. The town of Pipa, despite its relatively recent appearance on the global property radar, has in fact been attracting scores of visitors since the 1970s and is a fully fledged hip-and-trendy beach resort. The wealthy élite from Brazil’s southern states mingle with chilled-out locals and well-to-do Europeans who blend together seamlessly to earn Pipa its nickname ‘The Global Village’. So if off-plan is a turn-off, there’s plenty of established property, new and old, to cater for every whim and wallet, and that includes sumptuous villas in established neighbourhoods at surprisingly good prices.”
Within shouting distance of Pipa’s bountiful beaches is the aptly named Minas Beach House, a three bedroom three bathroom property with 252m² built area offered exclusively through www.uv10.com. From an elevated position the villa commands a superb view over Praia das Minas and the blue Atlantic beyond, and the decked swimming pool area provides the perfect vantage point for watching the sun dip below the horizon, caipirinha in hand of course.
Just over one kilometre from Pipa’s thriving town centre, Minas Beach House offers spacious living-dining areas plus two generous bedrooms at entrance level, whilst the master suite is reached via a contemporary mezzanine floor lounge. A sun-trap terrace with plenty of room for a pair of sunloungers or a refreshing Jacuzzi tub leads out from the generous master bedroom. Outdoor living is given priority with an extensive decked swimming pool area reached seamlessly from full length (and height) patio doors equipped with locally sourced wooden shutters to shield from the midday rays. Designed to make the most of daily Atlantic breezes, natural ventilation flows throughout the house during the summer, which is quite literally endless.
Sitting on a plot of 885m², Minas Beach House is nestled into verdant virgin Brazilian countryside and enjoys the privacy that comes with not being part of a complex yet also the protection afforded by neighbouring villas whose owners could be coaxed into keeping an eye out whilst you’re not in residence. Although with housekeeping staff as good value as they are in Brazil, your property could be well looked-after without eating too far into your hard earned savings – the going rate for someone to clean the house once a week and tend to the gardens is just 65 gbp a month. Meanwhile for around 80 gbp per month you can have your utility bills and taxes paid and your property inspected on a weekly basis. And, should you fancy going down the rental route, peak season (January, February and Carnival time) would return as much as 825 gbp per week, dropping to an average of about 460 gbp per week in mid season. So that’s your costs covered and profit pocketed to boot.
Priced at 650,000 Brazilian Reais (around 217,832 gbp) Minas Beach House is exceptional value, particularly for a popular beauty spot like Pipa which is currently the serious focus of many an investor’s attention.
