RIO DE JANEIRO – For Brazilians looking to escape the gloom
of recession, political turmoil or even their troubled football team, there’s a
paradise island for sale.
Almada island just off Brazil’s coast north of Sao Paulo is
in a popular tourist region of idyllic beaches and comes with its own private
stretch of sand and a luxury house built in the 1990s.
Now until Nov 3 it’s up for auction, with a starting price
of 25 million reais (RM28 million), G1 news site reported Thursday.
The hitch, other than the non-recession friendly price and
approximately US$20,000 annual taxes?
The island belongs to the Brazilian navy and “we’re only
transferring the usage rights,” the selling agent, Luiz Felipe Azevedo, told
G1.
