Five interconnected pavilions cascade across a forested plot at this tropical Brazilian bungalow complex in Bahia’s Atlantic Forest.

The 2700 sqm Itacaré property is part of an exclusive gated community called the Barracuda Hotel & Villas complex, which is located about 1 hour and 20 minutes from Ilhéus/Bahia–Jorge Amado Airport. Each bungalow in the complex is designed to embrace the climate and offer a contemporary take on tropical modernism. It is outfitted with contemporary furniture and state-of-the-art appliances, befitting the nearby Barracuda Hotel, which anchors the community.

The villa’s five interconnected structures span 860 sqm and comprise six bedrooms, a large living room, kitchen, TV room and separate nanny/staff quarters. Two Can-Am Defender vehicles are included in the sales price of €3m via Mona Rammahi of Residence / Christie’s International Realty for exploring the surrounding terrain – Bahia is known for its stunning beaches and vibrant rainforest, and the bungalow itself is just a stone’s throw from the water.

The Brazilian property is marketed as a second home and could be rented out when not in use via Barracuda Villas to generate rental income.
