Spectacular 17th century Galician country manor in good condition but
needing restoration in some areas. This building is located in a valley
in Irixoa, a rural area near to the city of La Coruņa, the great
beaches of Miņo are 15 minutes drive away as is the protected forest of
Fragas do Eume, ideal for hiking.
A small rural track surrounded by trees leads to the house. The main
part of the building is habitable, 2 floors with a total of 400 m2,
also an attic with another 200 m2 which could be used as another floor.
The first floor has 5 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a study and a
dining room/stairs landing. On the ground floor there is a large
kitchen, front hall, a bathroom and a large living room with double
doors leading to a part of the garden with a bread oven and a granite
stone table sheltered by vines, ideal for summer entertaining. Parts of
the building have wooden beams and ceiling, front door is old but in a
good state, probably dating back to the 19th century. All the windows
and shutters are made from wood, also dating back many years.
The oldest part of the building is connected to the main building and
was recently used as stables, this is the area that dates back to the
17th century and requires restoration, only the outside walls and roof
are in place.
On the grounds of the property (5000 m2) there is an old stone building
needing restoration, these were the servants quarters. The small house
has around 60 m2 and could be restored as a guest house.
There is also a large barn measuring 100 m2 which needs restoration, a
floor could be added and made into more rooms, or just turn it into a
garage. Just next to the barn there is a small door leading to a 25
metre deep water mine, a very original way of providing water to the
house.
The land around the house contains many trees planted by generations of
the same family, there is also a small building which has a water
stream running through it, this was used for washing clothes.
Overall this is an impressive building, built with the finest stone as
used in churches and cathedrals. It needs restoration and would make a
beautiful hotel.
