THE LAND

Open dune, two wind-bent palms and 310 metres of beach.

Vila do Sal is a single 2.7-hectare parcel on Praia das Curimãs, in the municipality of Barroquinha, on the far-west coast of Ceará. The land rises from the beach into pale dunes held by native scrub, with a fence of woven sticks along the sand and the fishing village a short walk to the east.

The beach wraps around two sides of the land. Along the north shore it has about 270 metres of frontage, in two stretches either side of a small neighbouring plot that is not part of the sale; around the eastern tip it has a further 41 metres. In all, about 310 metres of beach.

At low tide the sea draws back across wide flats. From August to January the trade wind blows along the shore, strongest from September to November.

Between Jericoacoara and the Parnaíba Delta, on the Rota das Emoções.

Curimãs is a small fishing village in the municipality of Barroquinha, in the far west of Ceará. It lies on the Rota das Emoções, the coastal route that links Jericoacoara, the Parnaíba Delta and the Lençóis Maranhenses.

International flights land in Fortaleza. From there, a domestic flight to Jericoacoara or Parnaíba leaves under two hours of road to the village. The land is reached through Curimãs itself.

Water

At low tide the sea draws back across wide sand flats and leaves a lagoon by the creek mouth, at the eastern tip of the land. Beyond the flats the sea is open, with wind swell running along the shore.

Village

Curimãs is a working fishing village: painted boats on the sand, houses under the palms, one pousada and one restaurant. Brilho do Mar, the restaurant, is about ten minutes' walk along the beach.

THE REGION

Away from the bustle of Preá, on the same coast.

Jericoacoara and Preá, under two hours to the east, are where most of this coast's visitors have gone. Curimãs has stayed what it was: a fishing village between the dunes and the sea.

Behind the village a field of white dunes runs inland. To the west the coast continues to the Parnaíba Delta and, beyond it, the Lençóis Maranhenses.

THE OWNER

I first came to Curimãs in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic, and bought this land at the start of 2021. What I found was an untouched place, a refuge far from the bustle of Preá, where I could have kite and clarity. I named it Vila do Sal.

The plan was a small pousada to run with my family. I had the land surveyed and worked with Studio Linear on the designs: first the pousada, later a house for my wife and me. Over time the family plan fell away, and my own work does not leave me the time to build and run a pousada.

So I am selling the land whole, and directly, with both designs. Every message comes to me, and I reply within 24 hours.
