This is an exceptional opportunity to own an outstanding property, which is most attractively priced at �225,000. A price appearing in any other currency should be disregarded, although the purchase may be made in euros or US dollars if access to GB pounds is difficult.

The importance of the proximity of the property to the city centre of Maric� cannot be under-stated when considering the massive inward investment resulting from the discovery of new oil fields about 100 miles (160.9 kms) off the coast. More about this investment appears at the end of this description, so be sure to read on!

The detached villa was built in the late 1980s and is of brick and concrete construction around a timber skeleton, with a tiled roof featuring curved tiles. All windows have locked shutters in local rot-proof wood.

MARICA

Maric� is situated in Greater Rio de Janeiro. Since the recent discovery of offshore oil fields, the city has benefited from significant inward investment and economic development, attracting numerous investors including major hotel groups. The oil discovery has resulted in the city receiving royalties of between 30 and 50 million reais each year. At the time of this posting, that equates approximately to between US$6,043,000 and $10,073,000.

The city is well known for its beaches, water sports and other leisure facilities, such as horse riding. There are ample opportunities for fishing, surfing, wind surfing, kite surfing, jet skiing and water skiing. The popular Ponta Negra beach enjoys clear waters and white sand and features a lighthouse.

The Maric� Lagoon covers eighteen square kilometers and is also excellent for water sports. There are stunning views of the lagoon from the villa and the gardens, as you will see towards the end of the sequence of photographs. If they are not available on this site, visit www.investabroadproperties.com to view all 50 photos, including views of the lagoon, the beautiful nearby beaches and some of Rio de Janeiro.

There are ongoing negotiations with international hotel chains to develop hotel resorts along the beautiful sandy beaches of Maric� and Punta Negra. There are also projects for building residential homes and more top quality rooms in view of the tourism development in the region.

La�lio Baptista Airport, which serves Maric�, is being remodelled to accommodate national and international flights.

It appears obvious to Investabroad Properties that this program of development and the resultant influx of tourists on a massive scale is bound to result in significant increases of property values in the wider area around Maric�. We expect these to be evident in the near future and to continue for several years.
