Quasar Homes | Galician country homes & rural properties

You can find this magnificent horse riding property with two houses and land in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra region. The location is secluded and peaceful but with the advantage of being within walking distance (800 meters) from a grocery store and a traditional grill restaurant (less than 1 km). The property itself is highly recommended for people with horses due to the fact that the house is situated in a large plot of land of 1.6 hectare with a shelter and very close is a riding arena which belongs also to the property. The main town of Ferreira de Panton is located at 3 km from the property (7 minutes by car).

Main House (185 m²)
The main house is in good condition and ready to move into. It dates from the 19th century and is facing south, with hills to the north, east and west. It has a charming wooden balcony with stunning views overlooking the meadows, trees and mountains.

Ground floor: 3 cellars for storage with the central heating installation. This floor offers lots of potential to create more living space.

Top floor (living area): a lovely enclosed veranda with furniture, a fitted kitchen (with gas hobs, AGA style wood cooker, oven, refrigerator, etc.), a living/dining room, two bathrooms (with shower and bath), a walk-in wardrobe, 4 bedrooms and the previously mentioned wooden balcony with its great views. Outside, you’ll find several patios and a beautifully fertile environment.

Second House (233 m²)
This is a renovation opportunity, formerly used as a residence, with a separate entrance and its own courtyard. This would be a great opportunity for rural tourism, guest accommodation, or creative renovation.

Land
The property has a total of 5.3 hectares of land divided into different plots:

• Approximately 1.6 ha of land around the house with several patios/sitting areas, good pasture for horses or other animals, shelter and a licensed vineyard (0.4 ha), planted with Mencía but not in use nowadays (the licence is still in force). This land has comfortably supported 2–3 horses, and could easily be adapted for sheep, goats, pigs, or chickens.

• Gardens with a rich variety of fruit trees: apple, fig, apricot, cherry, kiwi, pear, walnut, hazelnut, etc. and vegetable garden (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes).

Location
The location is very peaceful in a beautiful natural area surrounded by hills, meadows, woods and vineyards. At approximately 800 m there is a grocery store and a traditional grill restaurant (less than 1 km). Due to its location in the heart of the Ribeira Sacra region, the property offers also lots of potential for tourist accommodation, combining a residential area with spaces for horses and/or other animals.

At just 3 km from the property you can find a high quality 18-hole 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 approximately 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” 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.
