Asking Price: £147,000 (Negotiable) Probably one of the loveliest granja’s in this beautiful part of Paraiba, not to mention being the one with undoubtedly the most unique opportunities and potential too! Situated beside a large beautiful fresh-water lake, Granja 'Shangri-La' is on a very quiet non-through road, (but easily located by being directly off the newly up-graded BR101 coastal highway) and offers flexible accomodation in a very managable 2.3 hectares of wonderful land, abundant with a vast selection of fruit, nut and spice trees too numerous to list, and also an orchard of citrus trees including lime, tangerine and lemon. (Despite the abundance of such mature and varied trees (also providing frequently welcome shade!) the grounds of granja still manages to include a football and volleyball pitch!) Granja 'Shangri-La' comprises in fact, of not just one property, but three! Near the entrance to the property is a brand new (due for completion late summer 2009) 2 bedroom house, of approximately 96m2, with an extensive lounge and dining area, kitchen, laundry room and bathroom, and substantial covered terraces. Adjacent to this well-screened, yet beautifully situated house are just a few of the many varieties of fruit trees, including well established banana and coconut palms, flowering shrubs, and also a good selection of ‘tea’ plants too! The ‘main’ house (approximately 130m2) is located in the centre of the ‘estate’. It comprises of 2 very large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, plus large lounge, kitchen, utility room, additional cloakroom, and storage/multi-purpose rooms etc, with two extensive shaded terraces, (totalling almost 160m2!) separated by a swimming pool (12’ x 18’) and open surrounding terrace, with pool-side shower. Although structually sound and totally habitable, the house offers wonderful but simple opportunities for upgrading if required, and of course, provides sweeping views, framed by the trees (including mango, coconut, banana, jack fruit and caju) of the lake, and the green hills and coconut plantations on the far shore. And finally, a third ‘guest property’ (of approximately 104m2) comprising of two self-contained units with private facilities, located close to the lake, and with a lovely outlook. Again, structurally sound and substantial, but with enormous scope for further, yet simple improvement and development. There is also an additional 4th detached buillding (close to the main house) providing a unique, but very useful ‘country kitchen’, dining room and outside storage. The granja has a west-facing water frontage of more than 100 metres, with the lake itself offering safe opportunites for swimming, fishing and numerous other peaceful water leisure activities. EXCHANGE POSSIBILITY Exchange, with cash balance, of a suitable property would be considered. Apart from providing a substantial and tranqil home in a truly tropical and paradise setting, this quite unique granja, offers enormous and unrivalled development potential for either a large (or small) lakeside ‘pousada’ or select country hotel. Or a home and business combined! With the growing excitement and preparation for the forthcoming Football World Cup being held in Brazil in 2014, and both Natal and Recife stadiums being locations for many matches, accommodation and investment property is going to be in high demand, and short supply! (Interestingly, reports are that Brazil is already causing more excitement, than the 2010 Cup being held in Africa!) With Joao Pessoa being conveniently and almost centrally located between the two cities of Natal and Recife (and their larger international airports) both are within quick and easy reach. The newly upgraded BR101 has made certain of that! The World Cup will ensure that this still comparitively undiscovered beautiful region of Brazil will very soon be in the eyes of the world, and very much more on the international tourist map! Football aside though, this granja is still ideally positioned, being just to the south of Joao Pessoa, with it’s bustling centre and many extensive beaches, all easily accessible by a direct and comfortable 25 minute drive along new dual carriageway roads. (Part of which being the new BR101 highway.) Joao Pessoa's Presidente Castro Pinto International Airport is also a direct drive (approximately 20 minutes) along the BR101. (In the municipality of Bayeux.) Alternate to the lively city of 'JP', the towns of Conde, Mata Redonda and Alhandra are near at hand. The paradise and virtually deserted beaches of Jacuma, Praia de Sol, Tabatinga, and Timbaba (with Brazil's first official Naturist beaches) to name but a few, are as little as a simple, yet pretty and direct 20 minute drive away.
