Fazenda Siriu also connects in less than 10 minutes with Paulo Lopes – a rural village with very large farms, enormous rice fields, lots of cattle farms, pine and eucalyptus plantation, fish farms… and even a yearly “AgroPaulo” rural farm that attracts thousands from all over Santa Catarina.

This all makes it easy to get good, natural, organic food directly from the farmers – an interesting alternative to the large supermarkets in Garopaba

The town is still small enough so everyone still knows eachother and has time for a chat.

But Paulo Lopes is growing fast, as it is being discovered as a great location for logistics and for living – as Florianopolis is growing, residents are moving further south and the first stop after the booming town of Palhoça is Paulo Lopes – 40km along the excellent BR-101 highway.

Paulo Lopes has a couple of good supermarkets, notary, a nice bakery – not to mention of course the beachside options on Gamboa Beach.

Newly developed gated condominiums and apartment buildings offer great options for off-plan investors. We´ve been following this market closely for 20 years and the upside is extremely promising.
