Unique chalet with garden and gallery in O Barco de Valdeorras

A home with its own personality in the heart of Valdeorras

This property is located in the town centre of O Barco de Valdeorras, capital of the comarca of the same name, in the province of Ourense. The house sits on a fully enclosed plot with a stone wall combined with metal railings, with direct street access and trees that provide shade and privacy.

Along one side of the plot runs a stream that adds a unique touch to the immediate surroundings of the property. From the house there are views of the mountains that frame the Sil valley, characteristic of the landscape of this inland Galician comarca.

The property is arranged over four levels: basement, ground floor, first floor and attic, with a total built area of 435 m². The facade combines smooth sand-toned render, stone cladding and a slate roof, with wooden carpentry on all exterior windows and doors.

Spacious and bright rooms spread across four floors

The ground floor, with direct access from outside, features a spacious fully equipped kitchen with solid wood units and a granite worktop, with an integrated dining area. It also includes a sitting room with wooden interior joinery and direct access to the glazed gallery, a large living-dining room, a bedroom and a fully adapted bathroom.

The first floor has four bedrooms, all with herringbone parquet flooring and wooden carpentry. The master bedroom has a full en-suite bathroom with bath, bidet and toilet. This floor also includes a second full bathroom and access to a large outdoor terrace.

The attic is a very bright level thanks to the large front window and a roof window. It is divided into two areas: a bedroom with two beds and a large sitting room with a fireplace with a marble mantelpiece, wooden shelving and parquet flooring. A space with great character that can be used independently.

Glazed gallery, garden and large basement

The glazed gallery is one of the most outstanding spaces in the property. With a wooden ceiling, white-framed glazing on two sides and garden views in two directions, it is a very bright corner that works as a living area all year round and provides direct access to the garden. Its character as an intermediate space between indoors and outdoors makes it one of the most pleasant areas on the ground floor.

The garden surrounds the house with greenery and a paved path running along the side of the house connecting the different outdoor areas.

The basement is a large open-plan space divided into two distinct areas: a spacious garage and a storage room.

O Barco de Valdeorras, among vineyards and mountains in the Sil valley

O Barco de Valdeorras is the capital of the comarca of Valdeorras, located in the far east of the province of Ourense, in the Sil river valley. It is a municipality with all services: hospital, health centres, schools, secondary schools, pharmacies, shops and a lively urban life.

The town has a deep winemaking tradition: the comarca is home to the Valdeorras Denominación de Origen, known especially for Godello, a native white grape variety of great national and international prestige. The valley slopes are dotted with vineyards, and the area has several wineries open to visitors and its own wine route.

The historic heritage of O Barco includes the medieval tower and fortress of O Castro, declared a Bien de Interés Cultural, which dominates the valley from above and offers exceptional panoramic views. The Praza do Concello features notable buildings such as the Casino and houses with heraldic shields. Nearby highlights include the Monastery of Xagoaza and the church of San Miguel, of medieval origin.

The comarca is also close to the Serra da Enciña da Lastra Natural Park, a natural space of great ecological value with limestone formations unique to Galicia. The Malecón riverside promenade, along the river Sil, is one of the most popular leisure spots for locals.

The property benefits from excellent transport links: O Barco has a railway station with connections to A Coruña, Vigo and Madrid, and is 47 km from Ponferrada and 114 km from Ourense.

This property is a solid option for those looking for a large home in the town centre of O Barco de Valdeorras, with spacious rooms on every floor, a private garden and excellent connections in the heart of the wine and slate comarca of Galicia.
