Haras Larissa

History

Haras Larissa was born from the Bordon family’s farm and became a condominium without losing its rural vocation — riding and animal husbandry remain the centre of life here, not a decoration. Access is via km 114 of Rodovia dos Bandeirantesi, in Monte Mori, about an hour from the capital, with its own certified helipad for simultaneous landing and take-off, including at night. The development entered a second phase that expanded the park, the sports complex and the supply of plots.

• Concept: the soul of the countryside kept alive inside an ultra-high-end condominium — riding, polo and animal husbandry as the central programme, not decorative scenery.
• Trivia: the Haras Larissa polo field was chosen, in 2012, among the country’s facilities, by then Prince Harry — today the Duke of Sussex — for a charity tournament in Brazil; the turf is Tifton grass with an advanced drainage system. The clubhouse, designed by Marcos Tomaniki for the Bordon family, was turned into a complex with seventeen exclusive villas, with a pool, bar and restaurant restricted to residents and guests.

Architecture and aesthetics

As a rural condominium, Haras Larissa is not defined by a façade, but by the landscape and the facilities — the covered riding arena, the official grass and sand tracks, the polo field, the lake with its small beach, and the 275,000 square metres of native forest and green area of Parque Larissa. The houses are custom-built, with plots that in the second phase range from two to three thousand square metres, and manèges — the large plots with structure for horses — from twenty to thirty thousand. The only piece with a declared architectural signature in the whole complex is the clubhouse, by Marcos Tomaniki, a São Paulo firm with more than half a century of experience in farms and haras.

Monte Mor: the address

Monte Mori is a municipality in the Campinas Metropolitan Region, in the São Paulo countryside, along the Rodovia dos Bandeirantesi corridor, about an hour from São Paulo and a few minutes from Campinas and Viracopos Airport. It is farmland territory that arrived whole into the 21st century — the same land geography that sustains the country and haras condominiums of the Jundiaí and Itupeva region — with a mild mid-altitude climate and its rural vocation preserved. Whoever chooses Monte Mor is buying the double proximity of Campinas and the capital, with real countryside and riding on the way home.
