In Baltar, located a 45-minute drive to the city centre of Ourense, we find this fantastic country house in a rural area situated very close to the Portuguese border, just 15 km from Montalegre and next to the Xures-Geres natural park. This property's first stones date back to the early 1800s and completely restored in good quality throughout 2000. The property features 7 bedroom suites and a guest house, two dining areas, a large lounge, living and dining room, lovely private garden with an outdoor enclosed pool, all with fantastic orientation with abundant natural light throughout. Inside the property, you are welcomed by an exterior patio that leads to the grounds and the main house. Upon entering the house, you are welcomed by the stunning lounge, living and dining room featuring tall vaulted ceilings, exposed woodwork, and good quality carpentry. This area receives natural light throughout because of its good orientation.The outer patio divides the country house into the day and sleeping area. Next, we have a large industrial kitchen and two dining areas, all on the ground level. All the bedroom suites have their own door, from the outside garden and patio, all featuring different layouts and finishes. The guest house is located in the garden section, wholly separated from the main house. In the garden, we find lovely fountains, antique finishes and the outdoor pool fully enclosed, with the possibility to open it in the summer months. The garden area offers beautiful views of the mountain chain that borders Spain and Portugal. For the past couple of years, it has been used as a small rural hotel and a small events centre. It would be ideal for anyone looking to bring this business back to life or looking for a large country house in a rural area south of Ourense and close to Portugal. Great opportunity for relaxation and tranquillity.
