Quasar Homes | Galician country homes & rural properties

This large historic Country House is located in a peaceful rural area at only 2 km from the river Miño. The stone-built house is in need of a full renovation and includes a beautiful stone barn, a covered shed, an old stone wine cellar and 7 hectares of land with 3.5 hectares adjacent to the house and barn. Most of the land is with very good pasture so the property is ideal to keep horses and/or other animals. You can find some amenities and services in the village of Currelos, at 4 km from the property. Main services and amenities are in Taboada (13 km) and Escairon (15 km).

Manor House:
The large house itself (481 m²) was owned by rich farmers and is now in need of a full renovation. This means new floorings, doors and windows, a new roof, etc. An entrance gate leads to a partially covered courtyard (150 m²) with an impressive stone pillar and a stone bread oven. As in most of the old rural farmhouses in Galicia you can find on the ground floor several stables for the animals (in this case 9). Exterior stairs in the courtyard leads to the first floor and the living area. This floor has a newer and an older part. In the newer part (with less need for restoration) you can find a corridor (14,11 m²), a larder (3,41 m²), a bathroom with bathtub (7 m²), a kitchen with a wood burning cook stove, gas hobs and a beautiful chestnut table (24,15 m²) and a bedroom (16,06 m²). The older part comprises a large living / dining room (41,17 m²) and two bedrooms (23,91 m² and 21,53 m²).

Outbuildings:
Close to the house is a beautiful stone-built barn with perfect stone walls and an impressive ceiling with chestnut beams (110 m²). Without any doubt this barn can be converted into a lovely stone house. At a bit more than 100 metres from both buildings you can find on another plot of land with pasture and chestnut trees a very old stone wine cellar.

Land:
The property includes 72.709 square metres of land (of which 34.203 square metres adjacent to the house and barn) with very good pasture (ideal for horses and other animals), fruit trees, chestnut trees and a lovely dovecote (very typical for the Galician Manor Houses).

Services:
The property has two private wells for the water supply.

Location:
The property is located in a beautiful rural area at just 2 km from the river Miño. The surroundings are with green meadows, chestnut and oak woods. On the river banks you can find beautiful bends and terraced vineyards. These vineyards are producing high quality wines from the DO Ribeira Sacra. The region is in the outskirts of the Ribeira Sacra, which literally means “sacred riverbanks”, derived from the many churches and monasteries you can find along these banks. You can find some amenities and services in the village of Currelos, at 4 km from the property. Main services and amenities are in Taboada (13 km) and Escairon (15 km). The lively town of Chantada is located at 25 km (30 minutes by car) and the cities of Lugo and Ourense are both at 55 minutes by car.
