Farm with 1900 ha in the south of Minas Gerais with mineral water and suitability for renewable energies

Details

Farm Arinos: high value land with 1900 ha, 50 km from Arinos, 250 km from Brasilia, mineral water source, suitable for agriculture and renewable energies

General Description and Features:

For sale is a farm (fazenda) with approximately 1900 ha in the south of the state of Minas Gerais, about 50 km from the city of Arinos.
The farm is well equipped and endowed, with a shed for machinery, a support house for workers, a mineral water well with good water flow, additional water sources and an environmental license (all documentation in order – documentation can be sent on request and upon submitted an informal declaration of interest).

The region as seen some remarkable development in recent years, in agriculture and, more recently, in renewable energies – a strongly growing sector in Brazil. Some companies are already settling in the region to set up solar energy farms because the place has excellent exposure to the sun. The following links exemplify this development and show the high potential of the region:

The region is also very good for growing soybeans, corn and coffee, for example, as the land is flat.
Also cattle can be raised because it is possible to build a dam to provide water for the animals.
The city of Arinos is 250 km from Brasília, the country’s capital, and close to the country’s major highways

Background Information about the Development of Arinos:

In recent years Arinos was discovered by many companies that invest in solar panels and photovoltaic energy. The high levels of sunlight make the northern part of Minas Gerais one of the areas with the greatest potential for photovoltaic energy generation in the world.
With the aim of building photovoltaic energy complexes, some multinationals intend to invest in Arinos, which last year participated in the Mentoring Program for Municipalities of the Governança Brasil Network (RGB). A protocol of intentions foresees an investment of R$ 2 billion for the locality, and shows how important it is to build an environment of trust and credibility in the public sector.
This international investment will unfold for public policies, through the budget execution that will be allocated in the city. (https://timesbrasilia.com.br/destaque/prefeitura-de-arinos-preve-investimento-de-2-bilhoes-em-projeto-de-energia-fotovoltaica/)

The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) authorized the companies Sky Energy Arinos Projeto Solar and Aurora Energias Renováveis ​​to implement two photovoltaic complexes in the municipality of Arinos adding more than 1 GW of installed capacity.
Sky Energy Arinos plans to install eight plants, totaling 378 MW of power. Aurora Energias Renováveis ​​is studying investing in 17 plants, totaling 698 MW (https://www.portalsolar.com.br/noticias/mercado/projetos/aneel-autoriza-1-gw-em-projetos-solares-em-minas -/).
Aurora Energia (the mining company with the largest environmental license in the country), responsible for more than 6,000 MWp, plans to invest BRL 3 billion in cluster 3 “Sertão Veredas”, which is part of the Arinos plant, scheduled to start operating in 2023 .
The long-term investment estimate exceeds BRL 35 billion (https://diariodocomercio.com.br/economia/aurora-investira-r-3-bilhoes-em-geracao-solar-no-norte-de-minas/)
The government of Minas Gerais has closed a partnership with the Spanish company Solatio, which guarantees the investment of around R$ 18.5 billion for the construction of four new solar plants in the state, one of which is implemented in Arinos, with a generation capacity of 1,300 MWp. , which would make them the largest plants of this type in the world.
The forecast is that 100% of the works will be completed by 2023, with investments of R$ 2.5 billion in other solar plants that already exist in the state.
All this interest in the international market is not for nothing. Recent studies have shown that most of the state of Minas Gerais is within the so-called Solar Belt, a geographic range where there is greater sunlight in Brazil. (https://thegreenestpost.com/minas-gerais-tera-maior-usina-solar-do-mundo-ate-2023/)

According to a monthly survey by the Brazilian Association of Solar Energy (Absolar), Minas Gerais has a centralized generation potential of about 28 gw, considering the plants in operation, under construction and already granted, representing about 40% of the country. This volume is greater than the four other Brazilian states with the greatest potential (Bahia, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará), combined.
The multinational giant Shell Energy signed in May 2022 a protocol of intentions in which it foresees the investment of R$ 7 billion in the construction of solar plants in the cities of Corinto, in the Central region, Arinos and Brasilândia de Minas, in the Northwest, and Janaúba and Várzea da Palma, in the north of the state. The complexes, together, will have a generation capacity of 2.4 GW, which would be enough to double the state’s current capacity.

The French company Voltalia announces Projeto Arinos, its new solar energy production cluster in the state of Minas Gerais. This will be the company’s new solar energy production cluster with a potential capacity of more than 1.5 gigawatts, enough for its own supply and commercialization of surpluses with third parties in the state.

General Observations:

1. This real estate is only for sale, not for rental or similar.
2. It is highly advised that interested buyers conduct a visit of the property with a subsequent diligence in order to make an informed decision on whether to proceed with the purchase. It is however expected that the prospective client has the necessary financial means to purchase. It is important to note that Brazilian banks or in general financial institutions do not give, under any circumstances, loans or mortgages to foreigners. Also, it is very rare that European or American banks concede loans or mortgages for purchasing real estate in Brazil. It is thus indispensable to have the proper capital in order to effectuate a purchase.
3. The buyer/investor does not pay any kind of commission to the realtor in Brazil – the commission is strictly the responsability of the seller. However, the buyer is responsible for paying the notary costs as well as the ITBI (Imposto de Transmissão de Bens Imóveis – the property transfer tax) which ranges, depending on the state, between 2 – 3 %.
