Chalet by the river on the Camino de Santiago in Melide

House by the river in Melide, unique enclave on the Camino de Santiago

This property is located in a small medieval village just 1.5 km from Melide, right on the Camino Francés. Situated halfway between Lugo and Santiago, the house enjoys a privileged location by the river, with direct views of the Roman bridge and its small waterfall from almost any window.

The village preserves its authentic medieval charm, with most houses restored with exquisite taste, a beautiful church and the emblematic bridge that crosses the river. This is one of the villages most photographed by pilgrims who, every day, cross the bridge on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

A modern chalet designed to enjoy the surroundings

The dwelling is a modern construction chalet distributed on ground floor and adapted loft, maximizing the use of space in its 83 m² built. It has extensive grounds that connect with the house through spaces designed to make the most of such a special location.

Ready-to-live house with spaces for the whole family

Inside, a long hallway with two exterior doors connects all the rooms on the ground floor. This floor has a bright and fully equipped kitchen-dining room, a spacious living-dining room, two large bedrooms and a bathroom.

The loft space, adapted as a living area, has two additional bedrooms with exposed wooden ceilings. One of them has two beds and another has three beds, perfect for guests or large families.

A dream plot with direct access to the river

The property has approximately 2700 m² (0.67 acres) of completely flat land with direct access to the river. The plot includes several fruit trees and large green areas that invite you to enjoy the outdoors.

Attached to the house is a large storage-cellar that includes a toilet with shower and a magnificent barbecue area with gas cooker, sink and a large table. A metal gate allows you to open or close this space according to weather conditions, creating a versatile area that can be enjoyed at any time of year.

Buying a house in Melide, meeting point of cultures and paths

Melide is considered the geographical center of Galicia and the confluence point of the Camino Francés and the Camino Primitivo. The town preserves important historical heritage. The Museo Terra de Melide, located in the former pilgrims' hospital founded in 1375, offers a fascinating ethnographic and archaeological collection of the region. Melide is famous for its gastronomy, especially Galician-style octopus and traditional pastries with sweets such as melindre, almendrado and rico.

The proximity to Santiago de Compostela (50 km), with its international airport just 40 minutes away, and the direct connection to Lugo (50 km), make this property a perfect place to enjoy both rural tranquility and some of the most important centers in Galicia.

This property offers the unrepeatable experience of living on the front line of the Camino de Santiago, in one of the most charming villages in Galicia and with a privileged location on the banks of the river, next to a Roman bridge full of history.
