The value
A home, an investment or a seasonal retreat.
To live in
A house with a yard, a garage and privacy just minutes from the beach, in a neighborhood where daily errands can be done on foot. No HOA fees.
To invest
In an established and increasingly vertical neighborhood, a house with land has become the exception. It’s a real asset on the coast of a state capital that has been attracting new residents. Once renovated, it can also be rented out: houses in the neighborhood are listed at R$3,600 to R$10,000 a month.
For vacations
The family beach house, for vacations and holidays. With direct flights from São Paulo and Minas Gerais on Saturdays, getting here has become easier.

What is the price?
We send the price and terms on WhatsApp. That way we understand what you’re looking for and, if it makes sense, we arrange the visit.
Where exactly is the house?
In Manaíra, João Pessoa, about 450 m from the beachfront and a few minutes’ walk from Mag Shopping. The exact address is shared when the visit is scheduled.
Does the house need renovation?
Yes, and that’s the opportunity to make the house your own. We recommend visiting with someone you trust (an architect, engineer or contractor) to plan the renovation and estimate the investment before making an offer.
What is the back house like?
It’s a second building on the same lot, with 3 rooms and 1 bathroom. It has no separate entrance: access is through the lot itself. It works well as an office, guest room, studio or a space for a family member.
Is the property occupied?
The property is occupied by the owner. Visits are by appointment.
Can I get financing or use FGTS (the Brazilian severance fund)?
It depends on the price, the paperwork and the bank’s review, which includes an inspection and appraisal of the property. As a general rule, properties up to R$2.25 million can be financed through the SFH (Brazil’s housing finance system), and FGTS can be used by those who meet the requirements. It’s worth running a simulation with your bank before making an offer.
What about the paperwork?
The property registration (matrícula), IPTU (municipal property tax) and other documents are sent for your review before any offer. If the land has any tie to the federal government (terreno de marinha, federal coastal land), that will also be disclosed, along with the costs involved.
Can I use it as a medical practice or an office?
We don’t claim that. Professional use depends on the zoning and the street’s classification, and is confirmed through a feasibility check (REDESIM, Brazil’s business registration network) or the City’s Land Use and Occupancy Certificate. We send you the property details so you can check.
Could a building go up on the lot?
We make no such promise. The area lies within the strip near the beachfront where building height is limited by law, and these rules are being disputed in court. Any project depends on consulting the City.
Is it a good investment?
That depends on your goals and your time frame. What we can show are the facts: houses with land are rare in Manaíra, the neighborhood is well established and the city has been attracting new residents. We make no promises of appreciation or income.
How do I schedule a visit?
