Magnificent Villa Caju Perfectly Situated in Brazil’s UNESCO Atlantic Forest Biosphere

Serra Grande, Brazil - Lying between miles of white sand beaches and lush green rainforest is Villa Caju, a spectacular six-bedroom residence constructed of materials carefully selected for their artisanal and natural origins. The aesthetic of the structure is in keeping with its fragile yet formidable setting in the Atlantic Forest Biosphere, deemed by UNESCO as one of the three major conservation priorities in the world. Villa Caju is being offered by Axpe Imóveis Especiais with worldwide marking services provided by Christie’s International Real Estate.

“The location is truly one of a kind,” says Rick Moeser, Senior Vice President of Christie’s International Real Estate. “The Atlantic Forest is considered by the global scientific community as one of the richest and most bio-diverse ecosystems in the world. The home’s construction pays homage to that distinction with its small environmental footprint while still providing exceptional living and recreational spaces.”

With an overall structure of steel and glass, this stunning residence boasts more than 10,000 square feet. Interior highlights include a master suite with massage area, Japanese ofuro bath, and sea views; a spacious office overlooking the splendid living room, beautiful garden and azure ocean. There is also a great kitchen with wood stove, pizza oven, and barbeque, more and 5,000 square feet of decks and balconies, an inviting pool area and a large artist’s studio. Though feeling like a world away from civilization, the Ilhéus airport is just 18 miles away.

"Surrounded by the native flora and located just by the sea, Villa Caju mixes the comfort of a complete infra-structure and the simplicity of life in the beach. It is truly a gem in the Brazilian coast," says Luiza Cazarin of Axpe Imóveis Especiais.

The Atlantic Forest is beloved by eco-tourists as well as adventure travelers for its range of recreational possibilities, a perfect harmony of sweeping beaches, translucent waters where turtles still spawn, waterfalls, and forest. The area is home to 20,000 species of plants and 2,200 species of birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Among these are 200 species of birds found nowhere else in the world; 26 different primates, 21 of which are unique to this location, and animals threatened with extinction, such as the yellow-breasted tree monkey and the ring-necked sloth.
