Restored rustic house, move-in ready, in Bóveda

An old palleira turned into a cozy home

This home is located in a small village in the municipality of Bóveda, in the south of the province of Lugo, within the Terra de Lemos region. It is a former palleira —a traditional Galician structure once used to store hay and straw— that has been fully restored in stone and slate, preserving the character and solidity of the area's rural buildings.

The property is laid out over two floors plus a basement, which houses the home's technical installations: the septic tank, the water heater and the water pump. In addition, a short distance from the house, the property has its own plot used for parking.

Spacious rooms with rustic soul

With 105 m² built, the house combines space and functionality in a layout designed for both rest and shared living. The wooden floors and ceilings, together with the exposed stone details, keep the rustic, traditional character alive throughout every room.

Rustic warmth in every corner

The main door opens onto an open-plan ground floor that brings together the living room, dining area and kitchen in a single bright space, thanks to exterior windows throughout the floor. The kitchen is fully equipped and separated from the dining area by a bar; it features a working bilbaína wood-fired stove, plus a separate ceramic hob and electric oven. The space is heated by a wood-burning fireplace, a pellet stove and a wood-fired cooker, three solutions that guarantee comfort all year round. This floor also includes a shower room and a laundry area.

From the main entrance, a wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, where two double bedrooms are laid out, each with its own full bathroom, terrace and desk area. One of them also has its own dressing room, a bathroom with a double-sink vanity, and a large glazed double door that brings in plenty of light. The other bedroom has a built-in wardrobe with wooden doors and an equally cozy terrace. The house is sold furnished, ready to move into from day one. Thanks to this layout of two independent suites, the house could also easily be adapted into a small rural tourism project.

Terraces with views over the countryside

Each bedroom opens onto its own terrace, perfect for enjoying the rural surroundings of the house. A short distance away, the parking plot completes a property designed for those seeking peace and quiet without giving up comfort.

Buying a house in Bóveda: nature, wine and history

The property is just 8 km from the town of Bóveda, a municipality of just over one thousand four hundred inhabitants located in the Terra de Lemos region, in the transition area between the Lemos valley and the mountains of Lugo. The area, crossed by the Mao River, acts as a gateway to the Ribeira Sacra, one of Spain's most distinctive wine regions, renowned for its terraced vineyards of Roman origin, its canyons carved by the Sil River, and its numerous medieval monasteries. Since 2021 the Ribeira Sacra has held Biosphere Reserve status, and its candidacy for Unesco World Heritage status is still under way.

Within the municipality of Bóveda itself, the Pazo Viance stands out, built in the 18th century with an Italian Mannerist-style façade, along with viewpoints such as the Alto do Coto, offering wide panoramic views of the valley.

Just 20 km away is Sarria, one of the region's main towns, with a good range of services and shops. Monforte de Lemos, the historic capital of the Terra de Lemos and known for its Monastery of San Vicente do Pino and its keep tower, is also nearby. The city of Lugo, with its Roman wall declared a World Heritage Site, is 47 km away — a manageable distance for those seeking rural living without giving up the services of a provincial capital.

In short, this old palleira restored in the municipality of Bóveda combines the charm of traditional Galician architecture with the comforts needed for everyday life, set within a natural and cultural environment of great value, among vineyards and centuries-old monasteries.
