Sertanista house, Bandeirista house in Butantã District, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Sertanista house contains twelve rooms with front and back porches, displaying traditional rural architecture across its 350 square meters space.

Built in the first half of the 18th century, this residence served as a dwelling for Portuguese settlers who conducted expeditions into Brazil's interior regions.

The building represents the architectural style of bandeirista houses with rectangular layout, wattle and daub walls, and traditional Portuguese colonial construction methods.

Located near the former banks of Pinheiros River, the house currently stands in Monteiro Lobato Square and functions as a museum of exploration cycles.

The structure features specific roof construction techniques that effectively manage rainwater runoff while maintaining the original colonial period characteristics.
