Stable, henhouse, sheds, storehouses, fountains, stream, trout river… And a magnificent stone house more than 180 years old. It is difficult to find a farm with so much beauty and space, only 20 km from a city with 330,000 inhabitants, Lugo, which is the capital of the green heart of Galicia. And its outbuildings offer a thousand possibilities to develop any type of project that the owners may have in mind. A new farm, a tourist business in the middle of nature, but close to the city. Fantastic facilities for horse breeding or equestrian school. Or all at the same time… There is more than enough space.

The main house, the heart of the farm

It is a stone house, with granite masonry on the main and rear façades, and stone masonry on the other two. It was built in 1840, restored in 1960 and later renovated in the 1970s, especially in its exterior carpentry and vertical divisions.

There is a complete bathroom on the first floor and a toilet, washbasin and shower on the ground floor.  The water supply comes from two springs or wells on the property itself, which reach the house by means of an underground pipe or aqueduct. The house also has a wood heating system, with radiators in all the rooms on the upper floor and in the dining room on the ground floor.

The south-facing rear entrance to the house also has direct access to an upstairs room via a covered corridor, accessed by a beautiful granite staircase. In this area there is a portion of land, entirely surrounded by a 2 m high stone wall, in which there is a garden area, a meadow, an old barn with a stone floor, a fountain, a haystack, etc.
