Exquisite Property with Spectacular Views in a sought after Location in O Rosal

Prime Waterfront Position | Baixo Miño, Galicia | Panoramic Views over the River Minho & Portugal

The Property

Occupying one of the most privileged and visually commanding positions in Galicia, this exquisitely restored traditional residence sits directly overlooking the River Minho and the Portuguese Estuary, on the very edge of Spain’s north-western frontier. The uninterrupted panoramic views across the river, sandy riverbank beaches, and the illuminated Portuguese villages beyond are truly exceptional and form the defining character of this remarkable property.

Every aspect of the restoration has been meticulously planned to maximise light, space, and connection with the surrounding landscape. Large glazed windows are a defining feature throughout the home, framing the ever-changing scenery and flooding the interiors with natural light. The result is a refined blend of contemporary luxury and warm residential comfort, evoking the atmosphere of a high-end boutique hotel while retaining the intimacy of a private family home.

The property is distributed over three floors, connected by a striking modern wooden staircase:

• Currently completed living areas occupy two floors and provide:

  • Four spacious, light-filled bedrooms

  • Five elegant bathrooms

  • A large, fully equipped modern kitchen

  • An expansive open-plan lounge and dining area

  • Additional lounge and relaxation spaces ideal for reading, entertaining, or guest use

• Top floor / attic level:
  This level has been partially prepared and already benefits from large windows facing both the river and the countryside, as well as multiple Velux windows integrated into the eaves. An architectural project is available to complete this floor, offering the potential to add two further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, significantly increasing both private living space and commercial capacity.

All distribution plans, including the attic project, are available for interested buyers.

Outdoor Living & Grounds

The property is accessed via a quiet, peaceful road and features both pedestrian and vehicle entrances. A long private driveway leads discreetly to the garage and storage areas, with ample parking for several vehicles.

The grounds are beautifully landscaped and immaculately maintained, comprising several distinct garden and leisure areas, each designed to enhance outdoor living:

• A modern covered swimming pool, heated and maintained at a constant temperature for year-round use

• Multiple outdoor dining and seating areas overlooking the pool and gardens

• A generous lawn and green spaces supported by automatic irrigation

• A private natural well providing a limitless water supply

• A spectacular first-floor terrace offering sweeping views across the entire river valley and the enchanting evening lights of Portugal

These exterior spaces create a seamless extension of the interior living areas and are ideal for both private enjoyment and guest entertainment.
