Description
Ilha Particular do Maranhão: 3500 ha, private property, fully registered, suitable for eco resort, close to Lençóis Maranhenses National Park
General description and characteristics:
For sale is a private island, called Jurucutuoca, in the municipality of Humberto de Campos, in the state of Maranhão, located a few kilometers from the entrance gate to the famous Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, the fourth most popular tourist destination in the country. The property consists of 3,500 hectares (35 km²), close to a fishing village called Carrapatal, right on the west coast of the state. Jurucutuoca is well suited to the creation of a successful ecotourism resort. The island offers approximately 1,000 hectares of dry, usable land and, in addition, the site features a variety of ecosystems, including mangroves, a lagoon, unspoiled beaches, apicuns and preservation areas. It is also easily accessible, whether by land or sea. Its proximity to urban centers and airports makes it easy to transport tourists, as well as being a convenient option for tourist developments. With the growing demand for sustainable ecotourism destinations, Jurucutuoca Island has enormous potential for growth.
Jurucutuoca is a freehold property and there are no restrictions on the owner's right to subsequently transfer it to the estimated area register, providing legal certainty for investors, with no overlapping areas registered on the island.
Once granted the development of tourism projects, investors have the opportunity to contribute to the conservation of the island, promoting sustainable and conscious tourism that can help preserve the island's natural resources for future generations.
There is a lagoon on the island. And it's almost 800 meters long. It's a place with lots of fish, and the species found there are haddock, snook, tarpon, mullet and pacu. There are also freshwater shrimp. In addition, alligators use the lagoon, but not during the day (because of the sunbathing), but at night they usually stay there to hunt.
The lagoon is also a nursery for freshwater turtles.
There is also an airstrip for small planes. The runway has been closed for a long time, but in the past it used to be covered with gravel to make it easier to land. That was in the 1960s. Currently, there is only an open clearing on the site.
Current infrastructure:
- Two small brick houses with diesel engines to generate electricity when needed;
- A small shack that serves as a base for some family members when they go fishing in the area;
- Two artesian wells;
- A pier flanked by wooden handrails;
- Conservation areas with open trails
