description

Perched atop a peaceful village in Santiso, this Galician house full of possibilities offers a unique opportunity to embark on a rural life project. It is located just 5 km from Melide, a historic town on the Camino de Santiago, and about 2 km from the motorway connecting Lugo and Santiago de Compostela. The property sits on a plot of over 3,000 m² and has a total built area of 403 m². A metal gate gives access to the house, located at the end of a small paved track. The main house, a solid two-storey construction of stone and tile, is habitable and offers potential to be updated through a renovation that would make it more comfortable and modern. The ground floor houses the old stables and a traditional wood-fired oven, a typical feature of Galician rural architecture. On the first floor is the living area, with a large kitchen equipped with a traditional wood stove, a spacious living-dining room with wooden floors, three bedrooms, and a full bathroom. The exterior of the property is one of its main attractions, with various auxiliary constructions that reflect the agricultural tradition of those who lived in this house, inviting new uses and possibilities. Attached to the main house are two barns open at the front, and a small 'rocho' that was once used as an office. Opposite the house are other small former stables, a small garage, and a traditional hórreo, an emblematic architectural element of Galicia, adding charm and historical value to the house. Two wells and a large wash-house/fountain ensure water supply. At the back of the house unfolds a clear plot of land that allows you to enjoy the spectacular views of the valley and surrounding woods. This property represents an ideal opportunity for those seeking an authentic rural home in which to preserve the charm and Galician tradition, without giving up connection to services and urban centres, just 30 minutes from Santiago de Compostela’s international airport.
