Rural tourism business for sale in A Fonsagrada with mountain views

Rural tourism business in A Fonsagrada, nature and authenticity in inland Galicia

This property is located in a quiet village in the municipality of A Fonsagrada, in the heart of the Lugo mountains, a few kilometres from the town centre. The estate, with a total surface area of 11,178 m², sits in a setting of complete privacy surrounded by mixed woodland, with open views of the mountains that characterise this territory.

The property is registered as a rural tourism business with an active licence and is sold fully furnished. It includes the main house, a covered garage for 3-4 vehicles attached to the house, and a stone exterior porch with a small roof, table, chairs and barbecue, the perfect space for outdoor enjoyment.

A stone house full of character, spread over three floors

The property is laid out over three floors, each with a different purpose. Surrounded by forests and with mountain views from virtually every room, the house conveys from the very first moment the tranquillity and seclusion that define this corner of inland Galicia. The combination of traditional materials —exposed stone walls, wooden beams and slate and timber floors— with contemporary finishes results in interiors full of character and very carefully considered rustic décor.

Main floor: spacious rooms with views of the surroundings

The entrance to the house is through a spacious hall with a slate floor, exposed wooden beam ceiling and stone walls, which acts as the main distributor giving access to all areas of the floor.

To the right of the hall is the kitchen-dining room, a large room that brings together in a single space the kitchen area —with a traditional wood-burning stove with surrounding bench seating, a ceramic hob, antique stone sink and wooden furniture— and the dining area with table and chairs.

Ahead from the hall, a corridor leads to three spacious double bedrooms with wardrobes, timber flooring, wooden beam ceilings and exposed stone walls. Two of them have mountain views. The third has views of the side garden and has the space and plumbing already in place to add an en-suite bathroom. This corridor also houses the main bathroom of the floor.

To the left of the hall, another corridor leads to a fourth double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and to the living room, a spacious and welcoming room with exposed stone walls on all sides, wooden beam ceiling, timber floor, three windows overlooking the green surroundings and a wood-burning stove. All windows in the house have mosquito screens.

Attic: an open-plan space full of potential

From the main floor, an internal staircase leads up to the attic, a large open-plan space that retains the original wooden beam structure under the roof and the stone walls. Although currently unfinished, it already has timber flooring installed and a small window. This floor offers multiple possibilities for use.

Lower floor: large spaces for leisure and storage

The lower floor, accessible from the main floor hall, houses three distinct areas. A garage and storage area with direct access from outside, large in size with a concrete floor, stone walls and wooden beam ceiling. A fitted games room with timber flooring, whitewashed stone walls and beam ceiling, currently housing a ping-pong table. And a technical room housing the oil-fired boiler, water tank and plumbing installations, which provide heating and hot water throughout the house.

Buying a house in A Fonsagrada, the largest municipality in Galicia

A Fonsagrada is the largest municipality in Galicia, covering more than 438 km², and its capital is the highest in the entire region, situated at 952 metres above sea level. This speaks of a mountain territory with its own character, in the east-central extremity of the province of Lugo, bordering Asturias.

The municipality is part of the Eo-Oscos-Terras de Burón Biosphere Reserve, included in the Natura 2000 network, ensuring the preservation of its natural ecosystems: native forests, river valleys, mountains and exceptional biodiversity. The territory is home to more than 30 waterfalls, the most notable being the Seimeira de Vilagocende, with a 50-metre drop, one of the most impressive in Galicia.

The Camino Primitivo de Santiago, declared a World Heritage Site in 2015 and considered the oldest route to Compostela, passes through the municipality. This connects A Fonsagrada with an important flow of pilgrims and a rich associated heritage: the old hospital of Fonfría, the Montouto dolmen, the church of Santa María Magdalena and the Comarca Museum, among other features. The very name of the municipality is linked to a spring that pilgrims used on their way.

The area offers many options for hiking, nature tourism and disconnection. The Mirador de Arexo provides views over the canyon of the River Navia, the natural border with Asturias. The municipal capital, a few kilometres from the property, has all basic services. Lugo, with its Roman walls — a World Heritage Site — is approximately 60 km away.

This property represents an opportunity for those looking to acquire an active rural tourism business in a unique mountain setting, with a characterful house, a valid licence and a privileged location in one of the most authentic natural territories of inland Galicia.
