Pure Brazil: Charming House with Large Plot, Mineral Water Pool and Unobstructed Sea View in Florianópolis

A home with history, a huge plot of land and a view that looks like a holiday every single day: this property on the northern tip of Florianópolis is far more than “just” a house. It’s a rare blend of peace, nature and ocean – with plenty of development potential for anyone who wants to make their Brazilian dream come true.

A place for everyone who values tranquillity, nature and quality of life – a truly authentic piece of Brazil.

1. Location: Northern Tip of Florianópolis – Perfect Mix of Nature and Infrastructure

The property is located on the northern tip of Florianópolis Island, one of the most popular regions of the “Ilha da Magia”. From here you enjoy:

a quiet residential setting with no through traffic – the access road is a one-way street that ends just a few metres after the driveway to the house
short distances to shops, restaurants and essential services
proximity to the city, while still feeling as if you are living right in the middle of nature

Andreas Daniel, our partner on the ground in Brazil, sums it up perfectly:

“We’re very close to the city centre and still completely surrounded by nature – the sea in front of us, the forest behind us.”

The region is also known for its high quality of life, relatively safe environment and a lively German-Brazilian community. Many neighbours have German surnames, and even the local supermarket offers imported products from Germany – a nice extra for German-speaking buyers.

2. The Plot: Approx. 19,000 m² of Nature, Sea View & Private Water Source

The real highlight of this property is the exceptionally large plot:

approx. 19,000 m² (around 1.9 hectares)
hillside location with stunning panoramic views of the sea and the coastal shoreline
lush, mature vegetation – a mix of forest, garden and “jungle feel”
generous distance to neighbours, ensuring maximum privacy

A very special feature:
The plot has its own natural water sources with mineral water. This water feeds, among other things, the pool – a detail that perfectly reflects the nature-focused character of the property.

From the terraces and various viewpoints you enjoy:

an unobstructed sea view – surrounding houses are already built, and nothing taller is allowed to be constructed in that view corridor
an impressive view of the mountain ranges in the hinterland, from which the road winds down towards the sea
absolute peace with natural sounds: birdsong, rustling leaves, the ocean in the background

If you wish, you can make parts of the land more accessible by adding paths or thinning some of the vegetation. Equally attractive is the idea of leaving larger areas deliberately wild – as a green sanctuary surrounding your home.

3. The House: Solid Structure with Authentic Brazilian Outdoor Living

On the plot stands a single-storey house with an internal area of approx. 115 m². It was built around 80 years ago by a German engineer – a strong indicator of the solid construction.

The house in short:

partly dated, but well cared for and functional
very good, stable structural substance
ideal for buyers who want to renovate or re-plan in the medium term

Floor Plan at a Glance

Open kitchen with dining area
Access is – typically Brazilian – through the kitchen. It is open-plan and flows directly into a dining area.

Living/TV room with fireplace
Adjacent to this is a cosy living area. A fireplace provides extra comfort on the few cooler winter evenings in Florianópolis.

Three bedrooms in total

One bedroom with a queen-size bed near the entrance area
Another room currently used as a study/guest room – an additional bathroom could easily be added here to create a suite
One bedroom as a suite with its own small bathroom and bathtub

All bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning.

Two bathrooms

One bathroom with shower off the hallway
Another en suite bathroom with a small bathtub

Veranda – the True Heart of the Home

As in most parts of Brazil, life takes place outdoors. The generous veranda wraps around a large part of the house and offers:

seating areas with sea views
space for hammocks, lounge furniture and a long breakfast table
direct access to the garden and pool area

Andreas puts it this way:

“When you sit here, drink your coffee, watch the birds and look out at the sea, you really do wonder: why would you want to sit inside the house at all?”

4. Pool, Cabin & Outbuildings: Extras with Plenty of Potential

In addition to the main house, the property includes several other structures that underline its character and potential.

Mineral Water Pool with Sea View

The outdoor pool is located slightly below the house. Key features:

the pool is fed with mineral water from the property’s own source
from here you enjoy a spectacular sea view
adjacent outdoor shower with privacy screen – ideal after swimming or a day at the beach

Cabin Under Construction – Viewpoint Above the Tree Tops

Further up on the plot, a cabin (small wooden house) is currently under construction:

built with treated eucalyptus wood, designed to withstand the local climate
elevated concrete base on which the wooden construction stands
a largely glazed front is planned to maximise the view

From here you have an even more impressive panoramic view over the sea, the mountains and the dense green canopy of your own land. Perfect as a:

studio or creative workspace
yoga / meditation room
guest or retreat space

Studio / Additional Outbuilding

The property also includes another outbuilding with studio/working space and an additional bedroom on the upper level. This is currently in use and was therefore not filmed in the video – but it is part of the property and further expands the range of possible uses.

5. Possible Uses: Private Sanctuary, Retreat or Small Holiday Estate

The combination of a large plot, sea view, private water source and existing buildings opens up many scenarios. Depending on your personal concept, the following uses are, among others, conceivable:

Private Refuge with a Strong Focus on Nature

Ideal for people who:

want to withdraw, slow down and live in nature
wish to combine home office with a very high quality of life
plan a second home or even their main residence in Brazil

With relatively modest renovation work, the existing house can be made very comfortable, while you gradually shape the land according to your own ideas.

Renovate & Extend

The existing house:

provides a solid basis for a renovation with more contemporary layouts
can – within local building regulations – be extended or built up (e.g. two-storey concept)

This way, a modern home with more floor space can be created without losing the authentic character of the place.

New Build & Development

For those thinking bigger, options include:

replacing the old house with a new build in the medium term
creating additional units on the large plot, such as:
- chalets/bungalows for holiday guests
- a small boutique retreat or wellness hideaway
- guest houses for family and friends

Important: Any specific project should be planned in detail with a local architect and the relevant planning authorities. The potential is clearly there – how it is shaped will be in the hands of the future owners.

6. Surroundings & Lifestyle: Safety, Peace & Community

One aspect Andreas particularly emphasises is the feeling of safety:

The street in front of the house is quiet with no through traffic.
Many neighbouring houses do not have electric fences, barbed wire or high walls – hedges and simple garden fences are the norm.
According to the current owner, there has not been a single burglary or similar incident in over 35 years in the immediate neighbourhood.

At the same time, the region offers:

excellent infrastructure with hospitals, schools, shops and restaurants
a vibrant mix of Brazilian culture and a German-descendant community
short distances to beaches, water sports, hiking trails and leisure activities

In short: a place where you can live well and relax, far from big-city stress yet with everything you need for modern life.

7. Conclusion: A Rare Piece of “Pure Brazil” with Strong Development Potential

This property on the northern tip of Florianópolis is ideal for anyone who:

dreams of a plot that is more than just a garden
values sea views, a mineral water pool, forest, birds and complete tranquillity
finds the combination of solid existing buildings and development potential attractive
is planning a long-term project in Brazil – be it private, as a holiday home or as a small retreat/investment

Whether you renovate the existing house, gradually extend it or realise an entirely new architectural concept – the fundamentals here are exceptional: location, land and atmosphere are almost impossible to replicate.
