Just a few metres from the río Mandeo, in a secluded village in Irixoa, this manor house dating back to 1460 retains the stately character of its centuries-old spaces. Partially renovated and set on a plot of more than 18,000 m², the property offers an ideal starting point for a tailor-made restoration project, just a few kilometres from the coast of A Coruña.
This property is located in a small village in the municipality of Irixoa, in the Betanzos area (A Coruña), just a few metres from the río Mandeo. It's a quiet yet well-connected spot, situated 24 km from Betanzos and a few kilometres from the A-6 motorway access, surrounded by woodland and green meadows.
The property is a large manor house built in 1460, which still bears two carved stone coats of arms on its façade and a Maltese cross carved into one of the lintels, evidence of its noble origins.
The property is in good general condition and has been partially restored. It includes a total of 18,048 m² of land, extending across the front and back of the house and reaching down to the river bank.
The building, with 466 m² of built area, has a T-shaped floor plan and is arranged over several levels that make the most of the natural slope of the land, with different independent accesses from the outside.
The house retains all the authenticity of traditional Galician construction, with rubble stonework walls, granite ashlar around doors and windows, and original wooden beams and floors.
The property has already undergone partial renovation, focused especially on its structure. The roof was completely renewed and is in excellent condition, and all the windows have been replaced with thermal break frames. The house has mains water and electricity connections.
The ground floor, itself spread over several levels, used to house the old stables. It has been structurally renovated: it has finished cement floors and exposed stone walls, forming open-plan spaces ready to be finished and laid out to the new owners' taste.
The upper levels retain numerous rooms, including bedrooms, living rooms — one of them with a fireplace —, a bathroom and an old kitchen that acts as the connecting hub between the different areas of the house. The floors and some of the walls on these levels are made of old chestnut and oak, and only need refurbishing to recover their original appearance.
Outside, one of the façades has an open-sided stone barn that acts as a porch, sheltering one of the entrances to the house.
The 18,048 m² of land unfolds across two areas. The rear plot is fully wooded, while the front one stretches down to the bank of the río Mandeo, offering a private natural setting with direct access to the water.
Irixoa is a municipality in the interior of the province of A Coruña, part of the Betanzos area, situated between the ríos Lambre and Mandeo. Its territory forms part of the As Mariñas Coruñesas e Terras do Mandeo Biosphere Reserve, a protected natural area that preserves native woodland and remarkable biodiversity linked to the river.
Just 500 metres from the property there is a recreational area on the banks of the river, an ideal spot to unwind or cool off in summer, from where several hiking trails set off along the riverside towards Aranga.
The proximity to Betanzos (24 km), former capital of the Kingdom of Galicia, gives access to one of the most distinctive medieval historic centres in the region, with Gothic churches listed as Assets of Cultural Interest such as Santa María do Azougue or San Francisco, along with a lively cultural and culinary scene.
The location also offers good connections to other points of interest in the Rías Altas: the beaches of Miño are 27 km away, while A Coruña and its airport are 45 km away, and the city of Lugo, with its Roman wall listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is 52 km away.
This manor house for sale in Irixoa represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a restoration project steeped in history, in a privileged natural setting with good connections, ideal for those looking for an exceptional family home or for those wishing to develop a tourism project linked to rural life.
