How we make our Country Gold selection

Every property we include in Country Gold has passed a rigorous analysis. Properties that bring together a set of qualities that place them above the ordinary. These are the criteria that guide our selection:

1. Exceptional location and surroundings. Properties in enclaves of singular beauty, with views, privacy or access to outstanding natural environments. Locations that, in themselves, give the property an invaluable asset.
2. Architecture and heritage value. Pazos, castles, historic buildings or constructions with outstanding architectural merit. Properties with a clear architectural identity and, in many cases, a recognised historical and cultural value.
3. Construction quality and finishes. Materials, installations and finishes that guarantee a level of comfort befitting the property's category. Properties in which every detail has been designed to offer a first-class living experience.
4. Exclusivity and scarcity. Properties that, due to their typology, history or characteristics, are genuinely hard to find. Properties that maintain or increase their value over time, by virtue of their scarcity and distinctive character.
5. Scale and space. Generous built surfaces, extensive land, multiple buildings or a combination of all of the above. Properties that offer an unusual scale for the rural market.
6. Investment potential. Due to the growing demand for high-end rural properties, these properties also represent an investment with long-term potential.
