Property Overview - 10 Off-Plan Apartments in Private Condo

The condominium comprises 10 residences in total. There are 2 executive condos (one upper floor, one lower), both of which have panoramic ocean views and offer in excess of 80m2 of living accommodation.  The lower floor condo also boasts an amazing private garden of over 32m2.

There are 4 spacious upper floor apartments of 60m2 and 4 lower floor apartments of 63 m2; lower floor apartments include a generous private garden of 14m2. All apartments have 2 en-suite bedrooms and each is finished to an exceptionally high specification far surpassing any new properties available in this area today, with Brazilian granite work surfaces and stainless steel sinks, and many solid Brazilian hardwood and natural stone features. Each residence also has its own private terrace. It is also important to note that each residence has its own private entrance; unlike apartments, these are individual condos.

Constructed on prime land close to Carapibus Beach in the state of Paraiba, this development is a secure, high specification private condominium with exceptional build quality and panoramic sea views from every property.

Its stunning aesthetic features and luxurious amenities are an important and deliberate differentiator from other new developments in North East Brazil. All residents will benefit from access to a large swimming pool, bar and BBQ area, stone tiled walkways and tropical landscaped gardens.

Property Location & Area

Carapibus is a growing community overlooking the tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The nearby fishing village of Jacuma offers many facilities including good restaurants, beach bars, shops, a post office, pharmacies, gas stations, a medical clinic, a waterpark, schools and bus and taxi services.

A 10 min drive from the development takes you to some of the most stunning beaches in Brazil, such as Tabatinga, Coquerinho, Tambaba, Praia Bela and Pitimbu.  The world-class beach at Carapibus is less than 5 minutes from this development.

Its worth noting that when the new BR101 road is completed, journey times to Natal and Recife Airport will decrease significantly.  This road is currently under construction and is a good example of the investment currently going into the north east of Brazil.
