Fazenda Boa Vista

History

From JHSFi, launched at the end of 2007 and now well established, Fazenda Boa Vista is a highest-end country resort condominium in Porto Felizi, less than an hour from São Paulo. It covers about 12 million square metres, much of it native forest, lakes and woodland, with finished houses and plots for custom construction. Over the years, the address stopped being a single piece and became a complex built in phases: to the original farm, JHSF added the village phase Boa Vista Villagei, with apartments, villas and a Surf Club with a wave pool, and the very-low-density phase Boa Vista Estatesi, launched in 2026, with 7 million m² for just 250 families. The three coexist within the same perimeter at km 102,5.

• Concept: highest-end country living, with international resort infrastructure and architectural freedom on the plots.
• Curiosities: it is home to the first country Fasanoi, the Hotel Fasano Boa Vistai, designed by Isay Weinfeldi. A few kilometres away, at km 105 of the Castello Branco, Cyrelai built Heritage Rivierai — a market neighbour competing for the same highest-end country buyer.

Architecture and aesthetics

Fazenda Boa Vista does not have a façade: it has a policy. Since the plots are sold for custom construction, each owner arrives with their own architect, and what gives the complex its unity is not a single design but the layout — freestanding houses on large plots, spread across about twelve million square metres of native forest, lakes and woodland, with no blocks, no street alignment and no adjoining neighbours. The architectural signature that does exist, and is strong, lies in the amenities: the Hotel Fasano Boa Vistai is by Isay Weinfeldi — country architecture, horizontal and discreet — and it is what gives the place its public image. The two golf courses are authorial designs, by Arnold Palmer and Randall Thompson, and function as the development’s landscaping on a territorial scale. The condominium’s master plan, however, is not publicly documented and, for that reason, is not attributed here.

Aesthetics and scarcity

• Aesthetics: highest-end country architecture, integrated with nature.

Technical specifications

• Towers and units: it is not a tower. It is a country resort condominium, with finished houses and plots for custom construction (hundreds of properties). About 12 million m².
• Sizes: example product, houses of more than 780 m² on plots of more than 3,000 m², with 5 suites (market reference, varies widely).
• Parking: depending on the house or the design.
• Structural highlights: architectural freedom on the plots, with preserved native forest, lakes and woodland, a heliport and proximity to a unit of the Albert Einsteini Hospital.
• Registry and parameters: a rural resort condominium in Porto Feliz/SP, outside the scope of urban points of interest in the survey (no registry office, zoning or building potential in the tower standard). The only mapped point of interest is its own helipad (see below).

Porto Feliz: the address

Porto Felizi is not a neighbourhood: it is a municipality in the interior of São Paulo state, on the bank of the Tietê river, a little over a hundred kilometres west of the capital — and the farm sits at km 102,5 of the Rodovia Castello Brancoi, which covers the route in a little under an hour. The town has a name in the country’s history: it was called Araritaguaba, and it was from there, from the port on the Tietê, that the monções departed, the river expeditions that in the 18th century opened the route from São Paulo to Cuiabá. What the region is today was born of that same geography of river and forest: the Castello Branco axis became the capital’s country-house belt, with golf condominiums, equestrian centres and executive aviation an hour from the office. It is exactly the right distance — far enough for the country to be country, close enough to fit into a weekend that starts on Friday afternoon.
