Introducing the two-level main home is a granite-floored entry hall that leads to formal rooms with São Thomé stones embedded in the flooring. A spread of indulgent living areas is superbly arranged throughout this level, including a voluminous kitchen with a separate eating area, a lunch room touched in green granite, two powder rooms with marble floors, and a living room with a fireplace. The second level offers the spacious master suite and an additional bedroom with en suite bath. One large caretaker/employee’s house provides generous accommodations with five bedrooms—all with en suite baths—a living room, dining room, kitchen, and barbecue area. Visitors can luxuriate in the two supremely appointed guest houses, each with two bedrooms, living rooms, a bath, and a kitchen. Although couched in luxury, this home invites complete relaxation. Patricia Judice, of Judice & Araujo Imóveis says, “This property is perfect for those who are looking for fun and rest, privacy, and comfort.”
Complementing the main house is a fully equipped kennel with a maternity shower room, veterinarian’s room, and an air-conditioned and heated laundry room exclusively for the animals’ essentials. Also on the property are a wonderful vegetable garden, an organic orchard, a lake, and two greenhouses. Sprawling emerald lawns, meticulously maintained, surround the entire compound. Captivating views of the Swiss Alpine–inspired mountains and endless vistas of greenery capture the eye from almost any angle. The dwellings and grounds are fastidiously cared for, ensuring a carefree and idyllic presence. The property stands as a nature-blessed sanctuary spanning approximately 300 acres. Nova Friburgo is approximately 85 miles from the capitol, Rio de Janeiro, a cultural seaside haven of natural beauty, art, and history. The famed city enjoys 56 miles of vibrant beaches, such exciting Brazilian celebrations as Carnaval and a well-deserved la dolce vita reputation.
