House to restore with land and stone barns in Palas de Rei

Rustic house in Palas de Rei, refuge with history in a unique location

This property is located in a quiet village just 8 km from Palas de Rei, one of the most emblematic municipalities of the French Way of Santiago. Situated in the heart of the Ulloa region, the estate sits on 1.2 hectares (3.0 acres) of practically flat land in an environment of absolute tranquility.

The heart of the estate is a large house that treasures a special past: part of this construction functioned for years as a rural school, as evidenced by the commemorative plaque still preserved on the facade, dedicated to a much-appreciated teacher in the area. The dwelling is located at the doors of the church, heart of the village, which gives the place an authentic and unique character.

The estate is surrounded by a landscape dominated by green meadows, native forests and forest plantations, with mountains that delimit the horizon forming a natural framework that is enjoyed from every corner.

Traditional stone constructions awaiting restoration

The property has two independent accesses: a main one through a stone gate that gives access to the estate, and another located in front of the church, which facilitates direct access to the dwelling. The complex consists of several traditional constructions with stone walls and tile roofs, which require different levels of renovation.

Interiors with character and transformation potential

The main house needs comprehensive renovation, but preserves a solid structure that allows multiple rehabilitation options. The construction is distributed over two floors.

The upper floor, in better condition, houses a kitchen that preserves its traditional wood stove, a dining room and three bedrooms. The dimensions of this floor offer potential to plan a new distribution according to the taste of the new owners.

The ground floor preserves an old kitchen, a bathroom and the old stables, spacious areas that offer multiple possibilities to be transformed.

Complementary constructions and land that opens to the landscape

Three stone barns located outside significantly expand the possibilities of the property. One of them houses a traditional bread oven, characteristic element of rural Galicia, while another is in ruinous condition but preserves the basic structure for rehabilitation.

The 1.2 hectares (3.0 acres) of land, practically flat and surrounded by trees, form a luxurious extension to enjoy the environment, set up gardens and orchards, raise animals or establish outdoor enjoyment areas. A small stream runs along the side of the property and enters the land, constituting a natural source of usable water.

The municipality, whose name derives from 'Pallatium Regis' for having been the residence of the Visigothic king Witiza, preserves an exceptional historical heritage with towers, castles and noble manor houses.

The area stands out for constructions such as Pambre Castle, a 14th-century fortress considered one of the best examples of Galician military architecture, and the church of Vilar de Donas, jewel of Galician Romanesque declared a historic-artistic monument in 1931.

The location provides excellent connectivity with Lugo (41 km), and Santiago de Compostela (66 km), emblematic city that has an international airport. The Ulloa region offers landscapes of green meadows and native forests that hide countless rural paths and natural places of great beauty crossed by the Pambre river.
