Traditional Gallego farmhouse. Beautifully renovated and ready to move in to. With 17.189m2 land and cottage style landscaped gardens. Mañón, Ortegal.
This special house is nestled on the side of the Sor valley in a peaceful rural location. A fairytale setting amongst the fields and trees, away from busy roads and noise. The property would be ideal for anyone who is seeking their own rural retreat, a place to grow vegetables, keep animals, live a lifestyle in harmony with nature and the seasons. The house is twenty minutes drive from surf beaches, school, shops and the local amenities of O Barqueiro and Ortigueira. This 150 year old Gallego farmhouse has much charm and many original features that will delight those who love the aesthetic of older, rustic style houses. It has been lovingly restored and great attention has been paid to maintaining the integrity and character of the house. The house and attached barn create a comfortable, practical living space that flows well and has plenty of room for all the family but also has the potential to extend the accommodation either in the large attic space and, or the attached smaller barn. As well as being a cosy home with ample interior and outdoor spaces, the property could also provide a good rental income as the area is popular for holidays and international tourists. Its proximity to the wild and rugged coast, the mountains and the Rio Sor provide many places to explore, cycle, hike, fish, ride, surf and swim. The local beauty spot of Aguas Caida waterfall is withith walking distance and Ponte Segade a short car ride or walk along the river.
Situated 1km from the main road, the house is approached via a well made lane. As you approach, the house can be spied through the trees. It is painted red and has a traditional slate roof.
The farmhouse (348m2) has been updated with new plumbing and electrics and a new slate roof on the barn. Most of the floors downstairs are new and have cassettes under the floor to protect from damp. The timbers and wood have been sandblasted and treated. Heating is by firewood which is plentiful. There is a wood burning stove in the sitting room, a wood burning stove in the back kitchen and an Esse Ironheart wood stove with a clothes dryer above. There is plenty of hot water provided by the large electric boiler. The internet connection is excellent so perfect for working from home. There is a new septic tank and water is from the mains supply, though we also have shared use of a natural water supply close by. On the left hand side of the main house is a smaller barn (36m2) that is currently used for storage but could be converted into extra living accomodation/rental use. At the end of the property is an impressive granary (hórreo).
One of the features of this house is that it could quite easily be converted into two separate properties/living areas. Giving the opportunity for rental income or to accomodate other family members or guests. There are two vehicular accesses to the property and front and back doors to both ends of the house.
The garden has been planted with abundant varieties of roses, plants and medicinal herbs. Soft fruits, fruit trees and chestnut trees. There is an established vegetable patch (huerta) and a poly tunnel. Raised beds and a herb garden and an enclosed area for poultry or keeping goats. The garden is fenced and the fields are partially fenced. There is also a large slate patio just outside the house with natural shade making it a perfect outdoor seating area for dining and relaxation. There are two large fields which have plenty of grass and would be ideal for horses or other livestock.
