Granja do Torto, Presidential country residence in Setor Habitacional Torto, Brazil

The Granja do Torto estate spans 37 hectares, featuring artificial lakes, streams, sports facilities, a swimming pool, and a helipad within its grounds.

In 1958, Iris Meinberg, director of Novacap company responsible for building Brasilia, became the first resident of this property on Riacho Torto Farm.

The estate displays art pieces from the Presidential Collection, including works by Philip Sutton and Carlos Scliar throughout its interior spaces.

The property functions as an alternative residence for Brazilian presidents, providing space for official events and recreational activities outside the main capital area.

General João Figueiredo, president from 1979 to 1985, maintained horse stables on the grounds during his term in office.
