Riotorto - Lugo | Country HouseThis property in Riotorto invites you to imagine a rural project among plantations of century-old trees, in a territory that preserves its blacksmith tradition. With two connected houses to renovate, a large barn and a traditional oven, this 2-hectare (4.94-acre) estate with forestry value offers incredible views of the valleys and mountains of northern Lugo.
This property is located in Riotorto, a rural municipality situated 10 km from Meira and 45 km from Lugo capital. Located in a town known for its artisan blacksmith tradition since the 16th century, the estate enjoys excellent connectivity next to the road, while preserving spectacular views of the surrounding forests and mountains.
The complex dates from 1954 and is formed by several constructions that configure a rural property full of possibilities: a main stone house, a smaller second house connected to the main one, a large barn and a hut with traditional wood oven.
All constructions preserve their original structure but need renovation, offering the opportunity to create personalized spaces while respecting traditional architecture. A wrought iron gate next to the road facilitates direct vehicle access to the interior of the estate.
The main house has two floors of 120 m² each plus attic space. It is a habitable dwelling, although it requires renovation to make it more comfortable and modern. The annexed house, accessible both from inside and outside, expands the possibilities for transformation and distribution of the complex.
The main house preserves original elements such as exposed wooden beam ceilings, terrazzo floors, wooden carpentry and the typical distribution of Galician rural dwellings from the mid-20th century. The interior includes a kitchen that preserves the traditional wood stove in Bilbao style, a living room, 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The attic space is an open area with exposed stone walls and windows that allow natural light to enter.
The annexed house, smaller and internally connected to the main one, represents Riotorto's artisan history with a large space conceived as a blacksmith shop, which stands out from the complex and has direct access from outside.
Behind the dwelling is the barn, built in stone and brick with exposed wooden structure on the roof. It offers ample space for storage or vehicle parking. The hut with traditional wood oven to restore completes a complex that breathes tradition and rural authenticity.
The property has 2 hectares (4.94 acres) of sloping land, which includes a chestnut plantation with century-old trees and 25 young chestnuts in production. This translates into a large amount of wood with sales potential and the possibility of establishing a profitable forestry production routine.
The estate also houses American oaks, poplars and fruit trees, and offers the possibility of acquiring an additional eucalyptus plantation. The estate includes a water well over 100 years old and has two water supplies that guarantee the supply.
Riotorto is located on the borders of Terra Chá, bordering the Lugo coast. The municipality preserves an exceptional blacksmith tradition dating back to the 16th century, being one of the few places in Galicia where traditional artisan forging is still kept alive.
The Iron Route allows discovering the vestiges of this activity along the Ferreiravella river, where remains of ancient hydraulic devices and traditional hammers are preserved. The area has rural churches with centuries of history that configure a heritage of great cultural interest.
Riotorto is perfectly connected with Mondoñedo (25 km), one of Spain's most beautiful towns with its UNESCO World Heritage cathedral and medieval market, and with the Lugo coast (45 km), where the internationally recognized Cathedral Beach is located. The proximity to Meira, just 10 km from the property, offers quick access to all services.
This rural property represents a unique opportunity to develop a rural project with constructions full of character, forestry production potential and the authenticity of an environment that preserves millenary traditions in the heart of Galicia.
