About this property
A thousand years of history sits quietly in the Ribeira Sacra, where terraced vineyards and Romanesque monasteries are simply part of the scenery. This restored Galician residence occupies 1,174 m² in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 45 kilometres from Ourense. Schist walls, chestnut beams, terracotta floors and exposed stone throughout: the materials this region's been building with for centuries, handled with care and without losing the authenticity that makes old buildings worth saving.
Spread over 419 m² across two floors, the property balances heritage fabric with a contemporary wing that houses an indoor swimming pool and relaxation areas. The contrast is honest rather than forced: old building, modern addition, each serving its purpose without one trying to mimic the other. Beyond the house, terraced gardens open onto lawns and paved terraces, all facing the dramatic Sil canyon gorges. That view does genuine work.
Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a cellar that's practically mandatory in a wine region, and a UNESCO designation that's driven serious visitor interest in recent years. Whether you're eyeing this as a private retreat or a high-end rural tourism offering in Galicia's emerging wine country, the bones, the setting and the facilities make a compelling case at €580,000.
