The farm covers a total area of 45 hectares (just over 100 acres). A third is forest, preserved under

Brazilian conservation laws so that it cannot be used for agriculture or property development. Another part is laid to pasture with a large cattle shed and hay barn, sometimes borrowed by neighbouring farmers to graze their cattle or horses. There is a smaller plot for agriculture and then finally the house and gardens. There is also a newly refurbished 12m swimming pool
with shower and lounge area.

The gardens were the main attraction for me, where chickens run freely by day, protected by their large run by night. Pakita, the farm dog is delighted to receive company and by late afternoon you could well catch the site of the small monkeys that play noisily in the high coconut trees. Wandering through almost two acres of orchards, with over 100 trees full of tropical and exotic fruits feels like the Garden of Eden. Lemons, oranges, avocados, mangos, bananas, coconuts and cashew nuts are just the ones that I can recognise.
