Village house to restore with land, outbuildings and mill in Guitiriz

Rustic ensemble to restore in Guitiriz, space and potential for a bespoke project

This property is located in a small village in the municipality of Guitiriz, 16 km from the town centre and 21 km from Vilalba, in the heart of the Terra Chá region. The estate comprises a total of 8,311 m² of flat land, distributed across several plots with their respective buildings.

This is an old farmstead made up of multiple structures arranged around the main house, including a stone house to restore, a hórreo (traditional Galician granary), generous outbuildings and byres that speak of the agricultural activity that once took place here. It also includes a small mill situated beside the stream that runs along the end of one of the plots.

All buildings require full restoration, making this property the perfect opportunity to develop any bespoke project, whether as a residential complex, agricultural holding or rural tourism business.

The house: a traditional home at the heart of the village

The main house forms the heart of the ensemble and is located right in the centre of the village, with access onto two of its streets. The house is arranged over two floors of approximately 100 m² each, and features a traditional structure with stone masonry walls and wooden beams.

The ground floor has access from both the front and rear of the house, and contains a large kitchen, two byres and a small corner with a lareira (traditional Galician hearth) —the centrepiece of traditional Galician homes—, as well as the stairs leading to the upper floor.

The upper floor includes a large dining room, three bedrooms and a bathroom. A passageway leads to the exterior balcony, while a retractable ladder connects to the attic.

A range of outbuildings with great potential

The defining feature of this property lies in the abundance and variety of its outbuildings. In front of the house sits a plot with three large-scale stone barns, as well as a small open outbuilding and a traditional Galician hórreo. One of these structures conceals a traditional wood-fired oven inside.

A short distance away lies a second plot of land, much larger and completely flat, stretching down to the stream that borders the village. This plot has its own group of buildings, which once served as a livestock farm: a byre, another smaller outbuilding and, at the far end of the plot, a small mill beside the river.

To the rear of the main house, on the other side of the road, stands an additional structure that once served as the house cellar, used for storing food and other produce.
