At a development launch, prime units sell quickly to the early birds and, in the case of the boutique resort of Pipa Beleza; that meant the penthouses. With sunny rooftop solarium and optional Jacuzzi from which to soak up the sunsets, these two bedroom duplex units literally raced off the plans.
Now there's good news for those who didn't catch the worm, two penthouses are back on the market, a symptom of the precarious global financial situation.
Samantha Gore, Sales & Marketing Director of Brazil specialist agents - uv10 – comments: "Now more than ever, considering today's economic climate, it is vital to stay close to your estate agent if you want to take advantage of previously sold-out homes coming back onto the market.
"As people's personal financial circumstances change, prime units such as the Pipa Beleza penthouses can reappear but quickly resell to eager purchasers waiting in the wings. If you want to be at the front of the queue, make sure you're able to act swiftly, have means of payment in place, and then seize the moment."
Now mid-way through construction, the two Pipa Beleza penthouses offered exclusively through uv10 have payments spread out until completion in October 2009. Combining Norwegian design with Brazilian rustic charm, each encompasses two floors with two bedrooms on the lower floor plus that huge 48m2 roof terrace. Both are priced at BRL R$295,000 (around £85,124) and have full access to Pipa Beleza's luxurious 'Zen' spa facilities.
The on-site 'Ocean Club' spa is quite unique to the area with indulgent Balinese baths, massage treatments, yoga and pilates alongside Japanese-inspired meditative water gardens. Pipa Beleza also houses an oversized swimming pool with swim-up bar and wide decking areas, a funky Asian fusion restaurant, champagne gazebo, rooftop juice bar, shop, 24-hour security and full on-site rental management.
Pipa, dominated by the russet-coloured Chapadao cliff which forms a backdrop to its breathtaking beaches, is one of Brazil's most popular and highly protected resort towns. The resident wild dolphins and turtles are testament enough to Pipa's efforts to remain an important conservation zone. Construction is strictly limited to two storeys and dwellings cannot encroach into the Atlantic Forest. Little wonder therefore that this hippy-chic town is one of Brazil's hottest property investment zones for those smart enough to buy into one of the limited number of boutique resorts which have been permitted in the area.
Current prices at Pipa Beleza start from around £66,700* for a large two bedroom ground floor apartment with private garden and from around £107,000* for a three bedroom semi-detached house with option for private rooftop Jacuzzi.
