Rural house with hórreo and alpendres in Vilalba

Traditional Galician house in the heart of Terra Chá

This property is located in a small village in the municipality of Vilalba, just 4 km from the historic center of the regional capital of Terra Chá. Situated in the heart of the largest plain in Galicia, the estate sits on 1.212 m² of land that embraces a fully habitable stone main house alongside a heritage complex of great value: three spacious two-story alpendres, a traditional aira and a Galician hórreo perfectly preserved.

The environment surrounding this property is pure essence of interior Galicia: rolling landscapes of Terra Chá, small villages scattered among green fields and a tranquility that invites complete disconnection from urban pace.

Stone dwelling with Galician soul and current comfort

The main house distributes its spaces across two connected floors by an interior staircase, preserving all the traditional Galician architecture with stone walls, slate roof and green window frames that add color to the whitewashed facade.

Functional ground floor with multiple accesses

Upon entering through the main entrance, a distributor hall unfolds that intelligently connects all rooms: a fully equipped kitchen with integrated traditional wood stove and modern appliances, a complete bathroom with shower, a small storage room and the old stables converted into auxiliary spaces that preserve unique elements like the traditional wood oven. The ground floor also has a small workshop and both front and rear accesses that facilitate connection with the garden.

First floor with traditional distribution and balcony with views

The upper floor houses a spacious dining room with exposed wooden beams and fireplace that acts as distributor for the rest of the rooms, creating a cozy atmosphere that invites family gatherings. From here you access two complete bathrooms, two smaller bedrooms and a very spacious main bedroom with traditional furniture. The dining room has access to a balcony that offers privileged views of the surrounding rural landscape.

Heritage complex with traditional alpendres and hórreo

The great value of this property also lies in its large-scale auxiliary constructions. The three alpendres, two of them two-story with wooden structure and stone walls, offer multiple possibilities for use once restored. The traditional aira completes this rural architectural ensemble.

The traditional Galician hórreo with its characteristic elevated stone columns and brick and wood structure represents one of the most emblematic heritage elements of Galicia, adding incalculable cultural value to the property.

Exterior spaces with garden, orchard and traditional elements

The property has two differentiated plots: one attached to the house with access from the rear that includes garden with natural grass, traditional orchard area, stone washhouse and barbecue area, creating a perfect space for outdoor enjoyment. The second plot is located at the front, separated by the community path.

The house has its own well that guarantees water supply, while the green spaces invite both traditional cultivation and enjoyment of rural tranquility.
