Description of property
Set in the quiet inland region of Terra Chá in Lugo province, this restored country estate offers space, privacy, and long-term potential. At the heart of the property is a 500 m² traditional stone house, fully renovated to combine character with comfort.
The main house includes five bedrooms in total, two of them en-suite, along with a generous family bathroom with a bathtub. On the top floor, an additional bathroom is already fitted, making it easy to create a fifth en-suite bedroom. The open-plan kitchen and living area is bright and spacious, ideal for everyday life or hosting. A separate utility/laundry room adds functionality.
Outside, the estate includes over 3 hectares of private land and several original stone outbuildings — barns and garages in solid condition, ready for restoration. These could be repurposed as guest accommodation, creative workspaces, storage, or future rural projects.
This is a substantial property with good bones and plenty of options, ready for new owners who value space and the slower pace of country life.
Services and Amenities
The estate is just a few minutes from the town of Castro de Rei and the larger parish of Castro Ribeiras de Lea, where you’ll find supermarkets, small shops, bars, restaurants, pharmacies, and a modern health centre.
Public education is available from infant to secondary level, including vocational options, and there are local sports and leisure facilities. The area also hosts community events and regular markets, adding to its year-round liveability.
Nearby, the Castro de Viladonga archaeological site and the surrounding natural areas offer opportunities for walking, birdwatching, and low-key exploration.
Climate
Castro de Rei has a temperate oceanic climate, shaped by its inland Galician location:
Summers are mild and dry, with highs around 23–25 °C and cool nights
Winters are wetter and cooler, but rarely extreme — lows typically between 2–8 °C
Rain is most common between October and April
Summer and early autumn are ideal for outdoor living and working the land
The climate supports Galicia’s signature green landscape, with good growing conditions and a rhythm of seasons suited to rural life.
Travel Connections
Despite its rural setting, the property has good access to regional transport routes and four airports:
A Coruña Airport (LCG): approx. 80 km
Santiago de Compostela Airport (SCQ): approx. 90 km
Asturias Airport (OVD): approx. 117 km
Vigo Airport (VGO): approx. 148 km
The city of Lugo is just 20 minutes away — offering full services, historic charm, and a well-connected base in inland Galicia.
Why We Love It
It’s the sort of Galician home that quietly stands out — a solid stone house with space, land, and outbuildings full of potential, in a location that feels both peaceful and connected.
The house is practical and well-restored, with scope for more. The land is private and generous. The setting, peaceful but not remote, offers a strong foundation for a rural lifestyle, creative retreat, or long-term base in northern Spain.
What makes it stand out is the balance: comfort without pretension, space without isolation, and the chance to shape something over time — in a part of Galicia that remains real, quiet, and full of potential.
