Everything's perfectly fine. We just didn't wait for the Time to finish, but it's truly ready for use—just fill it up. Here you have a side street now. that goes down there to the waterfall, which is where we'll wrap up the video. And then mentioning, It also crosses the entire edge of the property, where they hand you the outlet of a stream, which is quite Nice one too. Now let's explore the social area of the house? Look at this lovely courtyard, people. Just look at it. Thinking about how many stories have passed through here, of course we can't be, yes, we can't hide from what it was, sometimes even from some sad stories, right? Because surely, Fazenda de The café used to have this crowd, but today it's just the good story we want to bring here, and certainly A good story has to be yours. Here you have a tap that, incidentally, bears the name of the property. The Oteiro da Bica, which is where the mortar used to be. Today we have a waterfall here, you can put some carpentry, something along those lines. So you have this construction area, right? Bedrooms over there, a reception courtyard right in front of us, the entire social area here, which we will explore starting from From now on. Just look how beautiful it is, everyone.

And here you have a room that welcomes those who will be with you. A beautiful room With delicious sand, lots of windows with plenty of glass, and here we have indirect lighting, right? It's a warmer tone, but delivers, so to speak, the right amount—let's put it that way. And on this side, she has windows facing the same view as our balcony has. And on this side, Our dining room together with the kitchen. Shall I go there or not? Let's go to the kitchen. First? But look at that, perfect timing, guys. Let's go. Here, our dining room delivers a great atmosphere. along with a beautiful chandelier. Everything you're seeing regarding the real estate remains for sale, Hey, guys? So, it's a property that will be delivered fully completed. At the back, over there, we have a The sink that brings this support from the social areas inside the house, right? So, safety, folks, a reception that brings here a bit more detail about the property, dishes on the wall, Oh, and look again. Here, through the windows, we can see a bit of the area where there was A little horse, some little cows, we'll also get to know them soon, and the washroom that comes along too This proposal. Very nice. And over here, now, we have the kitchen. Look how interesting, guys. The kitchen is practically well integrated, although we do have this issue of being Divided, but she's very close, right? In fact, people back then used a lot of strong spices. recipes with scents that brought forth, thus filling the entire house with their aroma. And, generally, this division Among the environments, it slightly inhibited some of that. That's probably why the crowd had it, right? It worked really well. Well. Everything has its reason. Here, various cabinets, oh, all of them also with plenty of glass, Nice crystal sinks. And there are two sinks here, look, with a wooden countertop, bringing in a visual access For the courtyard area, which is our leisure space on the property, right? Two good sinks, Ali os dormitórios. And now, in the lower area of the house, we have one more bedroom or a office. Here, laundry, right? A laundry that provides access there, to the traditional one of the entire construction. Now, people, the pinnacle of the house, truly, of all the constructions we've seen, For me, it's right here, you know. For me, it's the most beautiful spot in the built-up area we have. Look What a beautiful thing, people. You've got here a 180-degree view, practically, just for the sheer amount of green space. In a very free format. Several pillars, in a more rounded shape, also bringing in details there at their edges. Handrails also made of forged iron once again. What a beautiful thing, people. Here Below, now, we have a green area, which is entirely grassy, where everyone made a small playground for children. I like to call it here, in fact, I'm going to call it here, as if it were the Our Paineira Square, right? Because, look, right in the middle, you've got a bench too, all made of iron. cast-iron. And look, there's a beautiful flamboyant tree here that will soon burst into numerous pink flowers, in a shade Very beautiful, leaving, once again, this unique atmosphere. And all this wall right in front of us, all the way to the That hilltop over there, right? The eucalyptus there belongs to the property. Only there do we have three hectares of eucalyptus. planted. And look at this beautiful thing. Here on the side, native vegetation. And here, a little bit of the details that the The house also provides the finishes. So, folks, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and that little coffee break It's the night you're stealing the refrigerator—everything has to be right here, for real. This is the property's access point. Even though we have a nice pool, a waterfall that we're about to see, and beautiful rooms, but This absolutely enchanted me, guys. And now, let's go back once again to the courtyard area, so we can get to know it the gourmet space area, the construction area, the property area, and descend into a lower-level environment, where we We have this room, let's say, a versatile one, completely enclosed in glass, also quite beautiful. Once again, oh, an entire panorama of our construction here. Indeed, the house was designed to achieve this exclusivity of view of the forest, for those who appreciate this kind of setting, in fact, even being much more Sought after lately, more than centralized houses, right? And here, you have that. Look at the little bird, how beautiful, blue and white. Look, there are all sorts of people passing by here right now—you see everything. And here is our gourmet area, which supports the The pool area and the entire patio area. It is completely open, with an exposed roof, once again, and ample support. For plants, those little plant supports, little shoes of Judas, you know? They have support along their entire side. And ours Barbecue grill here, built-in. There isn't a barbecue grill currently, because the previous owners Previously, they were all vegan, right? Just Diagora, who likes a little meat, so I decided to put him in that category, okay? And here, check this out, the access we'll have to go down to the waterfall. We have this entire stone staircase here that leads us down directly up there. I'm not going down by it; we're going down the other side because we have some Constructions over there to explore as well. Now, let's head down to this lower area here, everyone? Look at this beautiful sight. has already been the stage for numerous magazine launches, as well as some fashion trends, and is now poised to be the stage for the Your stories. So beautiful, huh? Come on then? To get down here, we have access from both this side and On the other side, you know? Accessibility here is really good, everything is very straightforward, right? From now on, as we're going to A few steps, but still very easy to walk, right? So, the garden too, oh, extremely healthy, once again I want to be redundant about this. Now, I'm going to come back here, look, in the camera, just so you can see, once again, the drawings From the house, hey, people? Oh, how detailed she is too, even on her sides. So, you've got wooden frames, Masonry frames, truly beautiful. That solid wall at the back, in the initial section, so to speak, is also part of the property. In the aerial images, we've added quite a bit here to give a better sense of the entire terrain. And here, look, the pool area is located inside this little room. Here we have a tool closet, okay, folks? And back there, the area of our pool equipment was just redone too; they went over all the finishes, and it turned out really nice. And here, a flat area again, where the swing will be used by the grandchildren, by the children from the family there. In our Paineira square. And in the back, a small climbing area where my granddaughter grew up playing a lot. And now, folks, below the house, on this level, we have a very cozy living room. It could serve as a games room or be kept just as it is. Right now we have an office together with a bedroom. This is a suite, you know? So you have various glass panels again, arches. Here, the window arches are already made of cast iron again, not wood anymore, right? Everything else is still all wood. Look how nice. It's super fresh here; if you need, there's a fan, but they don't use it, okay? So it's very airy and really pleasant to be in. And on that side, access to the kitchen again. So you have very good accessibility, and also a nice-sized room. And here, exactly this size, is the size of the balcony we were just up there, where I mentioned the coffee and so on. And on this side, the bathroom. Also in the same layout, tiles, plenty of space, not at all cramped, a very suitable size, right? And now let's get to know a bit about what the garden offers us, as well as the structures that still await us. We have guest houses, and outside, a bit more of the property, right? Of course, I haven't really said anything yet. Let's take a look? Before we go over there, check this out—our kids' tree climbing setup. Isn't that just beautiful, guys? You're really ready to welcome the new generation, let's put it that way. So you have a beautiful lawn, a nicely enclosed area here, and a small kiosk for you, while watching the children grow and play here. And you have space there for your reading, so you can watch them play. And here is our back facade. Look at this incredible thing, people. It really does look like a palace, strongly reminiscent of those buildings with such an imposing design and exuding history. The most Tuscan, Portuguese style. And here on the side, we also have plenty of garden, which once again reflects how healthy all this is. And here in the back area, now we have some fencing divisions so the cattle don't interfere, for example, by invading this social area, and so on. And here's a little tool room, and another floor that could serve as an expansion of leisure space. If you'd like to bring in a sand court or a tennis court without altering the space up here, you have this area available for expanding leisure activities, right? Although the flat area up here is also quite nice, I just don't know if you'd want to spoil this scenery, so to speak. You can put something there, say, specific. For example, if you don't want to have a barbecue, the pool is right there, correct? On our left side over there. But if you want to make a moqueca or a feijoada, you'll find on our right side, go up those stairs, an area with a wood-fired stove and a bread oven. Shall we take a look now? Just look at this lovely climb, folks. A net here, or just a cloth, sitting on the grass, in such a simple way—it's already enough, sometimes, for many people. And since this place has so much singing, isn't that right? Well then, let's go. Coming up here to our oven area, you have this space that's very close to the kitchen, right? Since we made the turn, the kitchen is once again positioned right here, on this side. So to grab some dishes, something, super easy here, you can get it, bring it here, do the check-in, make your recipe. Here we have a refrigerator, okay? So it doesn't get too dirty, but it's a refrigerator inside the plastic, and over here on this side, a wood-fired oven and a bread oven. The owner even imagined, if he didn't sell so quickly, staying here with the kiosk, something like that, and you'd have that look. He didn't cut down the eucalyptus tree, because leaving it there would, so to speak, make everything look too visually unappealing, so he preferred to leave it intact. And we're going to keep going this way, folks. Look at the pillars of this. This galley was all done by hand, for sure—back then, a hundred years ago, it didn't have a form like this, no way, for sure. Well, let's go this way now. I need to edit the video; I'll insert some aerial shots because I'm going to ascend again to the road, to the street where we initially were, okay? So let's go. Now, in the aerial view, folks, I'm showing a bit of the eucalyptus area—it has access via another street, okay? So that you can reach him without having to cross the property. For example, if you sold the eucalyptus here, you have direct access for the people to cut it down and remove it, without access to the property. And this eucalyptus was valued for harvest at 300,000, it's already seven years old and has already passed the optimal harvest time; for whoever buys it, there's already this added benefit—buy it and immediately generate value on the property, or else keep it as a forested area. And up in the upper area, where we were, that's where the easement runs here, crossing the property; this easement, in this upper section, includes a good grazing area, along with a mine and also a wooded area, right? Now, returning here again, the property gate ahead there, and here, our next constructions. In short, the construction has just over 1,200 square meters of built-up area—just look at the structure you have in this space, folks. Here, it was specifically designated for the electrical panel, and just look how meticulously it's done—here, only power, on this side, they'll supply all the data, so internet, telephone areas, everything will come in here. Inclusive, the internet here is Starlink, right? We don't have fiber optic yet, but Starlink is already installed, and in fact, each building has a Wi-Fi repeater area, so the Wi-Fi covers the entire property. And here, our so-called old farmhand's house, which is now a guesthouse — they've just revitalized it too. And here you'll notice that the kitchen issue hasn't been completed yet, right? Otherwise, everything is in order—I'll show it to you shortly. Here, just to give you a reference, is the corral area where the cows were, and there, at the back, is the caretaker's house, right? I'm leaving just this one, so you can get an idea, look, of how delicious the scenery is, guys. We have the eucalyptus plot, which is on the other side of the creek, and the construction plot we've just visited; look here, little cottages over this way, the cabins or domes—low-cost construction, which is very trendy right now, everything focused on that, people. From here, any car can easily get there, but if you're heading toward this area going up here, oh, well, that's when it gets steeper, right? So you'll need a four-wheel-drive vehicle, okay? Now, downward, our waterfall, people, native forest, untouched right in front of us, and eucalyptus composes the entire vegetation area here. Let's take a little break there? Look at the big pool we have down here—what a beautiful sight! This was formed in a very natural way, you know? My neighbor here, look, is already well established on this end, right? So, you have the boundary line of the other side here, it's a fairly wide strip, so you have the property delineation with the third one, in this case, right? Yet even so, the buildings are still quite far away, and over here, now, let's get to know the end point of the property, where the waterfall is. I admit they're not coming here as much lately, right? But the path is well-established here, see, it's all paved with stone too, so revitalizing it in as natural a way as possible will really strengthen this proposal, right? So, here you have, oh, a shallower, natural pool suitable for children, 50 to 60 centimeters deep, and over there, you can even jump off the rock—there, you have a depth of up to 1.80 meters. Here, for sure, you'll already hear the sound of the waterfall, and just look at this gorgeous view, people—super private, delicious, a sheer rock wall, a lovely waterfall with its natural massage. And now, it's just dive in, top, right, guys? I'm gonna get a bit closer here, look at this, so delicious, such a beautiful thing, guys, here, check this out, the flow right there in the middle, 1.80 meters, got it? Now, I'm going to show you the off-road access, okay? I don't know if my voice is coming through well, but let's go, here we are, now the access with the car continuing. So, the stream flows away and supplies other properties; it continues along its natural course there. Now, back to it, let's go, now, we're going to go up a bit, I don't know if I'll manage to keep talking while climbing, maybe I'll even speed up a little if I get too out of breath, okay? Basically, here, look, back home, just took that relaxing bath, even though only a strong shower can provide it. Go back home and enjoy the itinerary you created for living here in the countryside of São Paulo. Up here, it's a bit steep, but a four-wheel-drive vehicle will do fine; if not, just maneuver and return the way we came. This little bench here is already in a strategic position, we've reached it, climbed the slope, sit down, rest a bit, enjoy this unique scenery, and then let's go, let's climb a little higher. Now, over here, look, the access that brings us back to the children's playground area, or rather, our Paineira Square, consists of just a few steps, right? It's good that you already keep your physical activity in order; of course, the property has its accessible spots, as well as those that require you to exert yourself a bit more, so you don't become too sedentary. Here, look, some stones that also make up our entire garden, right? And now here, our property's final point—people, just climb up a little higher, look how beautiful it is. I was about to wrap it up at the waterfall, but it was so worth it to get back to this peak moment again—awesome, guys. Well, today's invitation was for this, and I hope everything I've presented to you made sense; and if it did, I'm at your disposal to personally show you every corner of this paradise. This place deserves a thorough visit. Shall we explore? Stay safe, have a wonderful day, and if all of this made sense, I'm at your service. Big hugs and see you later, everyone!
