Stone house ready to move into with garden, garage and outbuilding in Covelo

Rustic house in Covelo, a charming home in the heart of the Serra do Suído

This property is located in the municipality of Covelo, Pontevedra, less than an hour from the city of Vigo. The property sits in one of the highest areas of the province, very close to the Serra do Suído massif, where Pontevedra's highest peak stands: Faro de Avión (1,151 m).

This is a remote and peaceful mountain area, surrounded by woods and hills where horses and other wild animals still roam free. This corner of Galicia enjoys a dry climate that contrasts with the humidity typical of other nearby towns.

The property is made up of a stone house ready to move into, a lovely garden that extends across the front and back of the house —fully enclosed by a stone wall—, a small outbuilding-workshop next to the entrance to the plot, and an independent garage facing the house, on the other side of the track.

A carefully maintained rural home, ready to enjoy

The house, with 263 m² built, is arranged over two floors plus an attic. It is a traditional building that retains its rustic character, with exposed stone walls, ceramic floors and wooden finishes, fully furnished and with every comfort needed to move in straight away.

Versatile two-floor layout with independent access

The ground floor has independent access from the front garden. It comprises an entrance hall, two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower tray, as well as a fourth room currently used as a storage room, which could be converted into an additional bedroom.

The upper floor is reached via an outdoor staircase that starts on one side of the garden and leads to a lovely stone corridor with fine views over the surroundings. This floor is arranged around an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. The kitchen, fully equipped, retains a traditional Bilbao-style cooking range. The dining area, with an exposed stone wall, has a fireplace that heats the space, and leads through to two bedrooms with exposed stone walls that give a distinctly rustic character. This floor also has its own bathroom.

A wooden staircase leads up to the attic, with a sitting area connecting to two good-sized bedrooms —one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. All the rooms on this floor feature wood-clad ceilings and walls, as well as Velux skylights that bring in natural light.

The house is fitted with electric radiators and a stove prepared for wood or pellets, as well as two smoke detectors on the staircase and in the living room.

Outdoor spaces with garden, outbuilding and independent garage

The garden surrounding the house is meticulously maintained. One part lies in front of the house, while the other wraps around one side and the back. It includes a lovely water fountain, a dining area, sun loungers and a pergola with a water mister for summer, as well as a stone barbecue. Another corner of the garden houses a small greenhouse, useful for growing produce and composting.

Outside, to one side of the plot's entrance, there is a small enclosed outbuilding, currently set up as a DIY workshop. Facing the house, on the other side of the track, there is an independent garage with good capacity, used to store tools, gardening machinery and equipment.

The property is sold fully furnished, including both indoor and outdoor furniture, as well as all the tools and equipment in the garage.

Buying a rural house in Covelo: mountains and tranquillity close to Vigo

The municipality of Covelo, made up of fourteen parishes of medieval origin, lies at the heart of the Paradanta district, in inland Pontevedra, between the valleys of the Tea river and the heights of the Serra do Suído. This mountain range forms a natural border between the provinces of Pontevedra and Ourense, and its ecological and heritage value has earned it recognition as a Site of Community Importance by the European Union.

About 10 km away is Maceira, home to one of Galicia's most celebrated river beaches, on the Tea river. This beach, with crystal-clear waters and an artificial pool of over 20,000 m², is internationally recognised as one of the best river beaches in Spain.

The village of Covelo, about 13 km from the property, has all the basic services: supermarkets, a health centre, a pharmacy... The village itself has a picnic area by the river, sports facilities, a community centre and bars, and is the starting point for hiking routes through the Serra do Suído, where wild horses can still be seen roaming free.

In addition, the city of Vigo is less than an hour away. Its commercial port, historic old town and boat access to the Atlantic Islands National Park are just some of its main attractions, along with a well-regarded gastronomic scene and a full range of services and shops. Vigo has its own airport, which makes it easy to connect to other parts of Spain and the rest of the world.

In short, this rustic house for sale in Covelo offers the chance to settle in one of the most peaceful corners of the province of Pontevedra, with room for a large family or potential to be turned into a rural tourism business, close to all services and less than an hour from Vigo.
