A Rare Galician Treasure

600-Year-Old Traditional Country Estate with Gardens, Woodland & Panoramic Views ( formally grounds of an old Monastery)

Tucked away in a tranquil hamlet and embraced by rolling hills, forests, and lush green countryside, this magnificent traditional stone property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of authentic Galicia. Surrounded by walled gardens, fruit-laden orchards, and ancient woodland, the estate enjoys a secluded and serene setting where birdsong, rustling leaves, and the gentle trickle of a bordering stream create an atmosphere of timeless peace and charm.

From almost every window and balcony, breathtaking views stretch across the valley — changing with the light of day and the seasons. This is a home rooted in history yet alive with possibility: an ideal Casa Rural project, private retreat, or unique family residence brimming with character.

A Home with Presence & Charm

The estate welcomes you through two distinct entrances. The first, via an imposing stone arch and grand wooden doors, opens onto a traditional courtyard shaded by grapevines. Here, summer meals can be savored at one of two outdoor dining areas, complete with a rustic kitchen, barbecue, and bread oven — a true embodiment of the Galician way of life.

From the courtyard, a striking stone stairwell rises to a large balcony terrace, leading to the main entrance of the historic stone façade residence.

Inside, the three-storey home exudes character and authenticity:

• Medieval-style lounge basement with a grand stone fireplace — a warm winter gathering place, games room with pool table, or potential guest suite.

• Traditional kitchen-dining room with original cooking range and clay oven, echoing centuries of family meals and celebrations.

• Four bedrooms with scope to add two more:

  • 🛏 1: Large bedroom or TV lounge

  • 🛏 2: Huge double with full-size bathroom

  • 🛏 3: Huge double with space to create en-suite

  • 🛏 4: Studio with terrace views to the Portuguese mountains, plus separate room allocated for en-suite

• Massive roof space with full height — ready for conversion into further bedrooms.

• Studio/roof terrace revealing magnificent views across the gardens, pool, sweeping valley, and Portuguese mountains beyond.

Throughout the home, authentic details abound: high ceilings, handcrafted wooden doors, rustic tiled and wooden floors, and exposed stone walls. Recently occupied and largely in good condition, the property offers scope for updating — blending modern comfort with historic beauty.

Additional practical features include:

• Basement laundry room

• Brand-new diesel central heating boiler

• Cellar and multiple storage rooms

Beyond the Main House

The estate includes several additional buildings with exciting potential:

• Large 6-car garage, discreetly set into the grounds

• Traditional stone barn — ideal for conversion into guest accommodation

• Adjoining but separate stone building, available for further expansion

• Traditional Galician hórreo (granary), an iconic heritage feature

Grounds of Abundance & Beauty

The land is as enchanting as the house itself. Majestic mature trees cast cool summer shade, orchards yield fresh fruit, and open meadows flow into woodland. At the edge of the estate, a year-round stream completes this idyllic setting.

The entrance, via wrought-iron gates, leads to a sweeping stone driveway:

• To the left, fertile meadows open into a beautifully planned woodland with rare trees.

• To the right, the driveway ascends toward the garage, revealing the estate gradually, concealed by mature plantings for maximum privacy.

An ancient stone font near the entrance offers pure mountain water — a timeless Galician treasure.
