For Bay Area Minds
Let us translate this property into familiar terms.
In the Bay Area, €1.89M buys you a modest single-family home, maybe with a view if you are lucky. Here, that same capital acquires a compound: thirteen independent buildings on a jungle hillside, above the surf, minutes from an international airport.
This is not a compromise. It is an arbitrage on quality of life.
The Numbers
The Village Life
Picture your days here.
You wake to birdsong filtering through jungle canopy. The air is warm, thick with salt and green. Your morning ritual: coffee on the terrace, a quick check of the surf from above, then barefoot down the path to the water.
By midmorning you are back at the compound. Your partners are on calls in one building while the kitchen team preps lunch in another. A visiting artist works in the studio space. Someone is hosting a small group for breathwork in the garden.
Lunch is communal, always. Long table, mismatched chairs, the kind of meal that stretches into the afternoon because the conversation is too good to leave.
This is not a retreat center, though it could be one. It is not a hotel, though you could run one. It is not a commune, though community forms naturally here. It is a platform: a collection of spaces ready to hold whatever vision you bring.
Build the village. Surf every morning. Host the future.
Three Paths, One Property
The distinct topographical zones allow you to run multiple projects simultaneously, or focus on the one that fits your vision.
Permaculture & Regeneration
The land is zoned and suited for agricultural and regenerative projects. Start a food forest, host permaculture courses, or build a model for sustainable living in the tropics.
- Agroforestry and food production
- Permaculture design courses
- Regenerative agriculture research
- Carbon sequestration projects
Hospitality & Retreats
Thirteen structures, nineteen rooms, capacity for eighty. Run it as a boutique hotel, an Airbnb portfolio, or a retreat center for wellness, creativity, or executive offsites.
- Boutique eco-hotel
- Multi-listing Airbnb operation
- Wellness and yoga retreats
- Corporate offsite venue
Community & Co-living
The compound layout naturally supports shared living. Independent units around common spaces. A ready infrastructure for chosen family, artist residencies, or a membership community.
- Intentional community
- Artist or creator residency
- Co-living membership model
- Seasonal community gatherings
Extensive additional buildable area means your vision can grow. The infrastructure is here. The permits allow expansion.
Location Advantage
Florianopolis is an island. The property sits on the edge, where jungle meets ocean.
Above the Surf
World-class surf breaks within about 15 minutes, depending on the break and conditions. Wake up, check the swell, and be in the water before most people finish breakfast.
Below the Mountains
Hiking trails lead directly from the property into preserved Atlantic Forest. Waterfalls, viewpoints, and biodiversity that rivals the Amazon.
Minutes from the City
Florianopolis offers urban services, international restaurants, quality healthcare, and a growing tech scene. The quiet of nature with civilization nearby.
Connected to the World
The international airport (FLN) is roughly 40 minutes away. A quick hop to Sao Paulo (GRU), then onward to anywhere. Fastest nonstop: around 1 hour 10 minutes.

Lifestyle & Culture
A place shaped by its people.
International Mix
Florianopolis draws people from around the world: entrepreneurs escaping expensive cities, artists seeking inspiration, families looking for a different pace. The local community has a calm, village-like atmosphere with strong international presence. You will hear Portuguese, English, Spanish, and more.
Embodiment Arts
Dance, music, movement, and a strong conscious community vibe. The region is known for its practitioners: yoga teachers, breathwork facilitators, contact improvisation dancers, and musicians. The culture here values presence over productivity.
Spiritual Traditions
Brazil has established, legal spiritual traditions including Santo Daime and UDV churches. These are recognized religious practices with deep cultural roots. The broader region supports exploration and personal growth within legal and respectful frameworks.
Quality of Life
Santa Catarina is often cited among Brazil's lower-violence states, with quality of life metrics that compare favorably within the country. The Information Packet includes specific data and sources for your due diligence. This is positioning, not a guarantee.
Seasonal Advantage
When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere, it is summer here. December through March brings warm weather, long days, and the best surf. Your escape from gray winters is a flight away.

Investment Context
Facts for your consideration. No promises, just positioning.
Real Assets in a Digital Age
Land does not disappear. Buildings hold value through cycles. In a world of uncertain digital assets and volatile markets, a tangible compound on a desirable island offers something different: real square meters, real structures, real potential.
Growing Global Interest
Florianopolis has been called the "Silicon Valley of Brazil" for its growing tech scene. International arrivals are increasing. The island draws remote workers, digital nomads, and investors seeking quality of life paired with opportunity. Demand trends have been positive, though past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Multiple Revenue Possibilities
The property's structure offers optionality. Run it as a hospitality business and generate income. Use part while renting part. Develop the buildable area over time. The diversity of structures creates flexibility that a single building cannot match.
Currency Considerations
The Brazilian Real has historically traded at levels that can favor foreign buyers. Exchange rates fluctuate and should be factored into your analysis. This is context, not advice.
Exit Optionality
Properties with multiple structures can be subdivided or sold as a whole. The hospitality track record (if you build one) can make the asset more attractive to future buyers. Flexibility in how you exit is built into the asset.
Important: This is not investment advice. Real estate involves risk. Values can decrease. Regulatory environments change. Conduct your own due diligence with qualified professionals before making any investment decision.
Residency Pathways
High-level context. Not legal advice.
Investor Residence Permit
Brazil offers an investor residence permit pathway that can include real estate investment. The commonly cited thresholds are:
- R$1,000,000 for general investment
- R$700,000 for investments in the North and Northeast regions
Florianopolis is in the South region, so the general threshold typically applies. Rules and requirements change. This is orientation, not guidance.
Other Visa Options
Brazil has various visa categories including digital nomad visas, retirement visas, and family reunification pathways. Each has different requirements and benefits. The right path depends on your situation.
Path to Citizenship
Permanent residents can apply for Brazilian citizenship after meeting residency requirements (typically four years of continuous residence, with some exceptions). Brazilian citizenship includes visa-free access to many countries and the right to live and work in Brazil indefinitely.
Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. Immigration rules change frequently. Requirements vary based on nationality and personal circumstances. Verify all information with a qualified Brazilian immigration attorney before making any decisions.
