Facts About the location:

The property is located in Penedo, a district of the Itatiaia municipality, located in the south-western region of Rio de Janeiro state, in Brazil. It was the first Finnish settlement in Brazil (founded in 1929), and the Finnish influence can still be noticed in some houses, commercial buildings and, as well as in the local culture. Penedo is located right next to the National Parque of Itatiaia (Parque Nacional do Itatiaia), approximately a 2-hour drive from Rio de Janeiro city (close to the border between Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Minas Gerais). This small village still maintains its magnificent natural resources (vegetation, rivers/waterfalls and wildlife) compared to the beginning of the Finnish settlement.

It’s a perfect setup for those who would like to live a self-sustainable lifestyle in a paradisiacal environment.

General Observations:

1. This land is exclusively for sale, not for rental of any kind.
2. It is reasonable and also recommended that interested buyers perform 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 %.
