Colonial noble 1871 mansion with 7 bedrooms, pool and large flat land for Sale in Santa Teresa / Rio de Janeiro RJ

With breathtaking views of Guanabara Bay and the Serra dos Orgaos mountain range, this spectacular house is located in the noblest spot on the charming island of Paqueta.

This grandiose residence, designed in 1960 by the MMM Roberto office, is an outstanding example of Brazilian modernist architecture, with a panel by the artist Paulo Werneck.

Among its distinctive features are the pilotis that elevate the structure, providing a striking presence and a covered terrace to enjoy the view of the landscape, and the integration with the garden and its green spaces. The Embya office designed the landscaping.

The use of cobogos and continuous windows maximizes cross-ventilation and the entry of natural light, while an exclusive artistic panel by renowned muralist Paulo Werneck adds significant historical and aesthetic value. The house also stands out for its hollow staircase, structured by tie rods, which leads to the main entrance.
