Quasar Homes | Galician country homes & rural properties

You can find this large country house on the edge of a rural and peaceful village in the council of Panton, within walking distance from a popular bar / restaurant. This property with a high investment potential for touristic use includes two plots of land and a charming wine cellar with an old shop. The main town of Ferreira de Panton is located at 3 km from the property (7 minutes by car).

The stone-built house itself is habitable and on two floors. Some smaller refurbishments are recommended. An entrance gate leads to a large enclosed and covered courtyard with a stone-oven (82 m²) and a well. From here you can access the house itself or to the cellars on the ground floor. This floor comprises a storage, stables for the animals, a charming wine cellar and an old shop, not in use any more but giving the property a special character. This part of the house (wine cellar and old shop) offers lots of potential for a business with multiple possibilities (a storage, workshop, a wine tasting room, a bar / restaurant or just a home extension). A stairway in the courtyard ascends to the first floor with a very comfortable layout. This floor comprises a spacious kitchen (with AGA style cooker, gas hobs, oven, refrigerator and dining table), a bathroom with a bathtub, large living / dining room with a storage ideal for a pantry/laundry room. Furthermore, there are five bedrooms: 3 bedrooms on the left (one interior, without a window) and, on the right, a small living room + 2 large bedrooms with access to an enclosed terrace that is very sunny in the morning connected to a large terrace with beautiful views overlooking the countryside.

The house is situated in a fully enclosed garden of 500 m² with chestnut trees and in front of the house is a second plot of land measuring a courtyard, a vegetable garden 800 m² with a well and pasture. This plot is buildable land (urbano) and has access from the main road.

The property has municipality water connected, two private wells, electricity, mains sewage, central heating (diesel) and fibre optic internet.

The location is in a rural village at walking distance from a local shop with a popular bar and restaurant. Due to its location next to the square and auxiliary spaces (cellars, old shop and courtyard) and in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra region, the property would be ideal for tourist accommodation or rural apartments (subject to planning permission and licences), combining a residential area with spaces for leisure/wine tourism. At just 3 km from the property you can find a high quality 18-holes golf course with a Spa hotel (Iberik Aguas Santas) and at 11 km (20 minutes by car) you can enjoy the lovely river beach of A Cova with a nice swimming area. The charming medieval town of Monforte de Lemos is located at approx. 15 minutes by car from the property. This lively town offers all necessary amenities and services, such as a hospital, hypermarkets, all kind of local shops, banks, schools, bars and restaurants, etc.

During the Middle Ages, Monforte de Lemos became an important town in Galicia. Here you can still find many interesting historical monuments. Worth to visit are for example the huge 17th century building of Nuestra Señora de Antigua (well known as El Cardenal, with some paintings of El Greco in a museum), the monastery of San Vicente do Pino and the medieval castle and palace of the counts of Lemos (today a “Parador”, by the state owned Hotel), the old Jewish quarter, the convent of “Las Clarisas” with an important museum of sacred art and the lovely medieval bridge over the river Cabe.
