This amazing property dates back to the 18th century, with evidence suggesting it may have an even earlier origin. Originally a rectory, the principal house has been meticulously restored to evoke the ambiance of a Galician Pazo, a traditional manor house. The magnificent stone structure preserves many beautiful original features, including thick stone walls both externally and internally, original fireplaces, and several spacious reception rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and office/study rooms. Throughout the house, an abundance of solid wood fitted wardrobes and storage cupboards is found.
Spread over two floors, this unique home offers breathtaking views from most windows and French doors, overlooking the immense lawn, manicured gardens, and the green hills beyond.
The grounds also feature four independent apartments, meticulously restored from original stone outbuildings. Various terraces, including one with an enormous long stone table and benches under a romantic pergola entwined with vines, are perfect for outdoor dining. Adjacent is a large covered barbecue area with a clay oven and cooking space, providing an ideal setting for large gatherings and events. The property has two entrances, one leading to a spacious driveway with a covered carport and parking for numerous vehicles.
At the far end of the grounds, there is a vast luxurious pool overlooking the beautiful valley of Camos, accompanied by an extremely spacious stone pool house. The pool house, currently equipped with a kitchen area, full bar, large dining area, lounge, and a full bathroom, offers versatility. Additionally, there is a second stone, glass-fronted building in the same style facing the pool and views, currently serving as a workshop but easily convertible into another apartment.
The main entrance features a large covered stone porch with two entrance doors. One leads to a historic stone chapel, perfect for religious or spiritual ceremonies, situated at the edge of the property with an exit to the street. The other door leads to a traditional stone wine cellar. The same stone structure houses storage rooms and a bathroom.
Throughout the property, traditional and antique artifacts, such as a stone grain granary, an impressive wine press, stone wells, and a spring water mine, are scattered. The gardens feature automatic irrigation, a charming cactus collection, and a vegetable patch.
The entire historic property exudes the charm of a romantic era, making it ideal for a hotel or retreat-type business. There is also the potential to host magical or special events like weddings and baptisms or create a health retreat surrounded by peaceful lush green beauty and breathtaking views.
