Description
A Brazilian Modernist Masterpiece: The Historic São Conrado Home of the Queen of Bossa Nova, Elis Regina
Nestled in a gated community in São Conrado, a neighbourhood located between Barra da Tijuca and Leblon, this illustrious property once the home of Elis Regina, Brazil's beloved Bossa Nova icon, now stands as a testament to modernist design and cultural heritage.
Designed by the renowned architect Fernando Portuguese in the 1970s, the house not only served as Regina's sanctuary from 1967 until her untimely departure in 1982 but also as a vibrant gathering spot for musicians, artists, and intellectuals of the era. Its architectural prowess and historical significance make it a unique investment opportunity or a luxurious retreat for those seeking to immerse themselves in the carioca spirit.
About the Location
Located in the noble neighbourhood of São Conrado, this property with living space of 400 sqm boasts uninterrupted views of the beach and Pedra da Gávea, encapsulating the essence of Rio de Janeiro's breathtaking landscape. The residence reflects a modernist style characterized by clean lines, expansive windows, and an open layout, promoting a seamless interaction with its natural surroundings. This architectural philosophy mirrors Regina's own vibrant and bold personality, with the house's design fostering creativity and inspiration through its serene vistas and tranquil environment.
The property's location in São Conrado offers easy access to some of Rio's best beaches, upscale dining, and vibrant nightlife.
About the Property
The house features a spacious living room, sundrenched terrace, swimming pool, and a suite with a sauna. It reflects the style of Brazilian homes from the 1950s, boasting tall doors and wooden windows. While the facade walls are blue and white, the interior features a chic neutral colour palette.
Three of the four bedrooms, including a master suite that integrates flawlessly with the outdoor terrace and pool area, are meticulously designed to offer comfort while preserving the home's historical integrity. The garden, dense and lush, acts as a natural barrier, ensuring privacy and tranquility, a rare find in such a bustling city as Rio de Janeiro. This property not only offers a luxurious living space but also a piece of Brazilian music history and the Bossa Nova movement
The view is exceptionally privileged, offering glimpses of the sunset and waves crashing against the rocks, and on some lucky days, even whales swimming in the sea.
Investment Potential
With rental pricing starting from 800? per night, this property is not just a residence but a gateway to experiencing and exploring the carioca culture whilst also being the base you need to explore everything Brazil has to offer.
It holds unparalleled value for investors interested in the arts and culture sector, offering potential for high returns on investment through both long-term appreciation and short-term rental income. Moreover, for enthusiasts of Brazilian music and history, living in or staying in this house for a few days provides an unparalleled opportunity to connect with the life and legacy of Elis Regina, offering insights into the creative processes of one of the most influential figures in Brazilian music.
