Rio056 - Iconic 60s Architect-Designed House in Gávea

Nestled high in the lush hills of Gávea, this extraordinary 1960s architect-designed house offers a unique expression of Rio de Janeiro’s modernist residential architecture, surrounded by tropical vegetation in a peaceful and highly secure setting.
Designed around a close relationship with nature, the house rises among the trees, with generous openings, abundant natural light and living spaces that extend naturally onto a large terrace overlooking the surrounding greenery.
The property accommodates up to seven guests across four bedrooms. Three bedrooms feature double beds, while the fourth has a single bed. The layout includes two independent suites and two bedrooms sharing a bathroom, making it particularly well suited to families.
The main living area is arranged across two levels. A spacious lounge opens directly onto the terrace, while an elevated second lounge serves as a TV and cinema room and leads towards the sleeping quarters. A large fully equipped kitchen completes the interior living spaces.
Outside, steps descend from the terrace to one of the property’s most distinctive areas: a private swimming pool carved into the rock and surrounded by dense tropical vegetation. Beside it, a wooden pergola creates a secluded outdoor entertaining space with a large dining table, equipped kitchen area and separate bathroom.
The master suite offers generous proportions and opens onto an intimate private courtyard with a fountain, reinforcing the house’s tranquil atmosphere and connection with nature.
Located within the secure residential community that is also home to the American School of Rio de Janeiro, the property benefits from 24-hour security and a particularly quiet environment. Gávea’s restaurants, shops and cultural life are within easy reach, while Leblon, Lagoa and Ipanema are conveniently accessible.
A characterful Rio residence for guests who appreciate architecture, privacy and tropical surroundings, combining an authentic 1960s design with a beautiful pool and an exceptional setting in the hills of Gávea.
