Stone house to restore with outbuildings and stream in O Corgo

Rustic house in O Corgo, a complete rural ensemble in inland Lugo

This property is located in a quiet village 11 km from the town of O Corgo, 12 km from Baralla and 26 km from the city of Lugo. The plot, of over 15,000 m², sits in a valley surrounded by wooded hills and green meadows, with a stream that crosses the property from end to end before flowing out next to the traditional wash house of the village.

The surroundings are typical of inland Galicia: meadows where animals graze, riverside vegetation and paths winding between trees and small homes. A paved road leads to the property, making vehicle access easy and providing good connections to nearby towns and services.

A stone house with traditional character and rural essence

The main building is a large stone house of two storeys with a singular almost-trapezoidal floor plan.

The interior requires a full renovation, although the structure and roof are in good condition. The exterior walls preserve typical elements of rural Galician architecture, such as the small granite ashlar openings that originally ventilated the ground-floor stables.

Two floors full of space and ready to transform

The house was built progressively according to the needs of each period, giving it an organic layout with varying ceiling heights within each floor.

The ground floor contains the kitchen, a partially started bathroom, and several former stables offering large open spaces full of potential. The upper floor has six bedrooms, two bathrooms and a mid-sized living-dining room. It combines hydraulic mosaic, terrazzo and wooden floors, with ceilings that follow the shape of the roof. In some areas, the original wooden beams remain visible.

Attached to the house is an additional brick structure yet to be completed.

Outbuildings and a large plot with a private stream

The ensemble is completed by several outbuildings located a few metres from the house: a large modern barn built in concrete and metal, a garage and several outbuildings in different states of repair, one of which includes a traditional bread oven.

From the buildings, open land extends across an approximate total of 15,000 m². One of the most special features of the property is the stream that runs through the plot, which flows out next to a traditional stone wash house used by the villagers, located right at the exit of the plot.

Buying a house in O Corgo, nature, water and heritage in inland Galicia

O Corgo is a municipality in the province of Lugo, part of the Terras do Miño Biosphere Reserve declared by UNESCO. Its territory is crossed by the River Miño and an extensive network of tributaries, which has historically shaped a deep cultural connection with water.

A fine example of this is the A Fervenza Ethnographic Complex, awarded the National Environment Prize, which includes a restored mill on the banks of the Miño and an ethnographic museum documenting the traditional relationship between the local community and the river. The Mazo de Santa Comba, a hydraulic complex with a flour mill, mechanical hammer and forge, is another testament to this water-linked heritage.

The O Corgo river beach, just 15 minutes from the property, offers a bathing spot in an exceptional natural setting. Walking routes along the banks of the Miño and its tributaries are ideal for nature lovers and those who enjoy river activities.

The property has excellent access to the N-VI road, connecting this corner of Galicia with the main towns and services in the area. Lugo, just 26 km away, is a city declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Roman walls, with a wide range of shops, culture and gastronomy.

This property represents an exceptional opportunity for those looking for a large village house to restore, with its own land, good road connections and all services within easy reach.
