Magnificent Restored Rectory Property & Investment in Camos, Nigrán

The Property: This amazing property dates back to the 18th century; however, there is evidence that it may date back further still. The principal house was originally a rectory that has been restored with the feel of a Galician pazo (traditional manor house). This magnificent stone house retains many of its beautiful original features, including the exterior & interior thick stone walls and original fireplaces, and offers several spacious reception rooms as well as numerous bedrooms, bathrooms and office/study rooms. There is an abundance of solid wood fitted wardrobes and storage cupboards throughout the house.

This unique home is spread over two floors and has breathtaking views from most of its windows and French doors overlooking the immense lawn and manicured, secluded gardens, as well as far-reaching views of the green hills beyond.

These impressive grounds also house four independent apartments restored from original stone outbuildings. There are also various terraces perfect for outside dining, including one with an enormous long stone table and benches under a romantic pergola entwined with vines. Adjoining is a large covered barbecue area with a clay oven and cooking area. All of which provide a perfect location for large gatherings and events. The property has two entrances, one of which leads to a large driveway with a covered carport and parking for numerous vehicles.

At the far end of the grounds is a vast luxurious pool overlooking the beautiful valley of Camos, together with an extremely spacious stone pool house. The pool house currently has a kitchen area, full bar, large dining area and lounge as well as a full bathroom. There is also a second stone glass-fronted building in the same style facing the pool and views, which, although currently being used as a workshop, could easily be converted into a further apartment.

The main entrance has a large covered stone porch with two entrance doors: one leads to a historical stone chapel, perfect for religious or spiritual ceremonies, which sits on the edge of the property with an exit to the street. The other door leads to a traditional stone wine cellar. The same stone structure houses storage rooms and a bathroom.

Dotted around the property are traditional and antique artefacts such as a stone grain granary, an impressive wine press, stone wells and a spring water mine, to name a few. The gardens have automatic irrigation, as well as a charming cactus collection and vegetable patch.

The whole property has the charm of a romantic era and would be perfect as a hotel or retreat-type business, with the scope to hold magical or special events such as weddings and baptisms, or as a health retreat surrounded by peaceful lush green beauty and breathtaking views.

Location: The property is located in the sought-after area of beautiful Nigrán on the spectacular coast of the Val Miñor and lies in a valley which has numerous pazos and buildings of historical importance. It is within easy reach of the many beautiful white sandy beaches and quaint surrounding villages such as Panjón (video) and Bayonne (video), which offer all amenities and services as well as amazing traditional Galician cuisine. There is a host of water sports, hiking and other activities available, as well as local markets, vibrant festivals and live concerts throughout the area.

Communications: Nigrán lies within the trajectory of the Portuguese Camino de Santiago. It is 15 minutes south of the vibrant City of Vigo (video) and its airport. It is also 20 minutes from the Portuguese border and its magnificent estuary. Porto and Santiago de Compostela international airports are less than 1 hr 30 min away on good motorways.
