Description

Refined Gaucho-Style Living with Breathtaking Views

Perched high in the mountains, this refined retreat offers an extraordinary connection to nature, where mist drifts into the living spaces, and panoramic views stretch across the Serra da Mantiqueira. Thoughtfully designed in the traditional "gaucho" style, this recently renovated home exudes warmth and elegance, seamlessly blending rustic charm with modern comfort. The property is set within the exclusive "Associação Galo Branco," a private gated enclave of just four residences, ensuring privacy and security in an unparalleled natural setting.

The residence spans two levels and accommodates up to ten guests in four beautifully appointed bedrooms. The primary suite features a king-sized bed, while two additional bedrooms offer queen beds. A fourth is designed with seven single beds, ideal for families or groups. Four well-appointed bathrooms provide both style and convenience.

An inviting indoor swimming pool, an expansive lounge with a home theatre, and a dedicated entertainment space with a ping pong table set the stage for relaxation. Outdoor amenities include an open-air fire pit, a natural pool of two freshwater springs, and a charming orchard with fruit trees. A spacious terrace and barbecue area invite al fresco dining, while a wood-fired oven adds an authentic touch to culinary experiences. The property also features a children's playground, walking trails, and a serene lake, enhancing the connection to the surrounding landscape.

Accessible via a scenic 12-kilometre drive from the city centre, the retreat unfolds along a winding mountain road, immersing visitors in the region's tranquillity. While a 4x4 vehicle is beneficial, most cars can easily navigate the route. This exclusive retreat offers a unique balance of seclusion and accessibility, where refined living meets the untamed beauty of the mountains.
