Property Description
|
With 400 meters of beach front and a total of 450,000 square meters only 55 km from the Salvador airport, this justifies the price. Praia do Forte is nearby and the tourist center of the northern coast of Bahia. The divided highway now goes until Barra do Pojuca, a mere 7 km from Praia do Forte. It will arrive there next year, making the access easier yet. |
The beaches on this part of the coast are beautiful - tranquil with little commercial development, turtles nesting and kms to walk. Environmental permission is required as well as a 2 story limit on building. 15% of the land is developable. |
