A Seven-Bedroom Villa in São Paulo

$3.1 MILLION (12.5 MILLION BRAZILIAN REALS)

This modern, seven-bedroom house sits on a third of an acre in Cidade Jardim, an upscale neighborhood in the South Zone of São Paulo, Brazil, just west of the city center and the Pinheiros River.

Built in 1976 and renovated in 2018 and 2019, the approximately 8,600-square-foot villa is awash in natural light thanks to several glass walls and sliding doors. Outside, lush landscaping creates a sense of privacy overlooking São Paulo’s skyline. The house is “surrounded by green,” said Luiza Cazarin, a partner and the director of international relations with Axpe Imóveis Especiais, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, which has the listing.

“This property is an oasis that offers peace and quietness amid the chaos of such a busy city,” Ms. Cazarin said.

The villa is clad in peroba, a Brazilian wood known for its durability and vibrant color, said Luc Bouveret, who is selling the home with his husband. Peroba also lines the outdoor pool deck, which sits at the foot of the house’s covered patio.
