Rio170 Große Moderne Villa In Gávea

Perched high in Gávea, this contemporary villa opens onto a tropical landscape of rare integrity: the Parque da Tijuca on one side, the Corcovado on the other, and between them a stillness that has become difficult to find in Rio. Absolute quiet, total privacy, and a view that nothing will ever obstruct.

The result of an exclusive architectural project by renowned designers, the property brings together sophistication, nature and modern comfort.

Grounds and built areas

The property enjoys approximately 3,800 m²: 834 m² of freehold land carrying the house and its immediate surroundings, extended by nearly 3,000 m² of landscaped gardens planted with fruit trees and wooded hillside falling away towards the Tijuca forest reserve.

Built areas total 810 m²:

– 540 m² for the main house – 120 m² for the pool house – 150 m² for the garage and workshop

The house

– Six en-suite bedrooms of 25 to 45 m², each overlooking the pools and the garden – One additional bedroom with its own bathroom – A summer living room and veranda totalling 80 m², filled with natural light – A dining area and open kitchen leading directly onto the balcony – Full air conditioning and heat-recovery ventilation

Outdoors

– A 25-metre semi-olympic infinity pool, fully clad in Jatobá Capri stone, with rainwater recovery, double filtration and ultraviolet treatment – A second 12-metre pool, accessible directly from the villa – A 120 m² pool house opening onto the main basin – A lounge area with pergola, outdoor seating and barbecue

A protected setting, and a documented land situation

The garden, the infinity pool and the pool house extend onto an adjoining municipal area, classified as forest reserve and therefore non-buildable. The property has had continuous use of it since 1974, following a declaration issued at the time for the fencing and preservation of the hillside; this use, which does not form part of the freehold title, gives rise to a monthly fee paid to the City of Rio de Janeiro, settled regularly ever since. In 2011, the municipality’s legal department expressly noted that this use attaches to the area itself and to its preservation rather than to the person of the occupant, and that a change of occupant would not, in principle, affect its favourable position.

For a buyer, this configuration has a concrete and rare consequence in Rio: the immediate setting of the house is protected from any future construction. The complete file — land certificate, technical survey, administrative history since 1974 — is provided on request.

Staff quarters and outbuildings

– A self-contained caretaker’s flat – A kennel – A full service area – A covered 150 m² garage and workshop, for up to six vehicles

Security

– Full armouring – Guard post – Secured fencing – Cameras with remote monitoring, 24/7

An exceptional address for those seeking a contemporary villa, spectacular and surrounded by nature, in the heart of one of Rio de Janeiro’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.
