Pelé’s Property in Juquiá, Valued at R$ 35 Million, Brings Together Agriculture, Tourism, and Leisure, Keeping the Memory of the King of Football Alive
Edson Arantes do Nascimento, Pelé, passed away on December 29, 2022. The global idol left a historic legacy for Brazilian football. He won three World Cup titles (1958, 1962, and 1970), scored more than a thousand goals, and achieved numerous victories with Santos and the National Team.
However, his story was not limited to the football fields. Few know that he also dedicated himself to the agribusiness.
This facet of his life came to light with the news of the sale of the farm that belonged to the King in Juquiá, São Paulo.

Valued at R$ 35 million, the property has been on the market since October 2023, but there has been no completed negotiation so far. Information is from Globo Rural.
Structure and Dimensions of the King Pelé’s Farm
The total area of the farm is 661 hectares. Of this space, 370 hectares are allocated to cattle farming for both meat and milk, fish farming, pig farming, and crops, mainly bananas and palm hearts. In addition, 80% of the area is open, while the rest is legal reserve.
The property includes a deactivated pig farm, four main houses, 15 suites, a pedal boat lake, a swimming pool, a sauna, a gym, a football field with a dressing room, a pond, offices, and staff houses.
The luxury real estate website Chaozão highlights the farm’s potential for hospitality and tourism. “It’s not just about paying for the acquisition. You must cover maintenance costs and have an affinity for rural life,” says Geórgia Oliveira, CEO of the company.
