Rural property in Guitiriz, Galician authenticity at the heart of the Camino

This property is located in a small rural village in the heart of the Terra Chá, just 6 km from Guitiriz. The property sits in a privileged location: the Camino de Santiago passes right in front of the buildings, making this property a direct witness to the daily passage of pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

The property comprises 1,880 m² of land, completely flat, and five buildings in different states: a main house that has been fully restored and is ready to move into, a second house to be renovated, a spacious garage and two barns of two storeys with multiple possibilities for use.

The property is located on the outskirts of a small charming village that offers basic day-to-day services, and just 200 metres away there is a river recreation area suitable for swimming, adding an exceptional natural appeal to the location.

Five traditional buildings with great potential

The property stands out for its versatility, offering a family home ready to move into along with several additional spaces with potential for transformation. The buildings retain the authenticity of traditional Galician rural architecture, with rubble stone walls, slate roofs and exposed wooden beam structures.

The main house, restored and ready to move into

The main house is a two-storey stone house that has been fully restored, retaining traditional elements and materials that create rustic, warm and welcoming spaces.

On the ground floor, an open-plan area combines a kitchen-living-dining room with a traditional lareira (open hearth), a stone sink and a full bathroom. Stone and wood take centre stage throughout, along with the double-height layout that visually connects with the upper floor. This floor has direct access to the back garden.

The upper floor houses a small sitting area integrated into the landing itself, and three bedrooms with views over the natural surroundings. The house is furnished with excellent quality wooden pieces that blend with the rustic character of the spaces.

Additional buildings and back garden with hórreo

Attached to the main house is a large barn of traditional construction, with two storeys and a completely open-plan interior that invites the imagination to picture new spaces. One of its walls, semi-open and fitted with a stone balustrade, gives it a distinctive character and exceptional brightness.

On the other side of the track are two independent buildings: a spacious ground-floor garage and a large two-storey barn with potential to build, for example, an independent apartment. This barn also retains its traditional wood-fired oven.

The second house, to the left of the main house, is in a poorer structural condition and requires a full renovation.

The back plot, shared by both houses, is a completely flat piece of land that includes several fruit trees, a well-preserved traditional Galician hórreo and a large stone table, ideal for gatherings outdoors.

Buying a house in Guitiriz, rural life at the foot of the pilgrim route

Guitiriz is part of the Terra Chá, the largest plain in Galicia, characterised by green meadows and unique landscapes that contrast with Galicia's typically mountainous terrain. The area is included in the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve, designated by UNESCO, which protects ecosystems of great ecological value.

The location offers the unique experience of living right on the Camino del Norte, which passes directly in front of the buildings. This makes it an ideal option for setting up a business project geared towards the Camino de Santiago, or for enjoying an exceptional home where it is possible to watch pilgrims from all over the world pass by every day.

The proximity to the river recreation area, just 200 metres away, and the numerous nature trails that run through the Terra Chá, offer countless options for outdoor activities.

A few minutes from the property there is a small charming village that covers everyday basic needs, while the town centre of Guitiriz, with a fuller range of services, is just 6 km away.

Connectivity with cities is equally excellent: Lugo city is 40 km away, A Coruña 65 km, and Santiago de Compostela 80 km, providing access to urban services, an international airport and Galicia's main transport links, without giving up the tranquillity of traditional rural life.

This property represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a complete rural life project, with spaces ready to move into and others to transform, or a property with business potential right at the heart of the Camino de Santiago.
