description

Pazo de Lemaio, a 16th-century architectural gem, is located in a small village of Laracha, right in the heart of Costa da Morte. It is one of the oldest certified manor houses in Galicia, and was fully restored in 2012, preserving its historical architecture and incorporating all modern comforts. With a built area of 342 m² distributed across various rooms, the manor stands out for its imposing stone façade, where original architectural features like arrow slits and a magnificent semi-circular arch can still be admired, taking us back to the building’s medieval origins. On the main façade, its original coat of arms combines the crests of noble Galician families, testifying to the noble lineage of its founders. The main house includes 5 bedrooms, 3 of them with en-suite bathrooms, all bright and exquisitely decorated. Shared spaces include a living-dining room with a library area, a separate living room, and a spectacular kitchen of around 30m², equipped with modern appliances alongside traditional elements in a space full of character and authenticity. Wooden beam ceilings, exposed original stone walls in key areas, natural floors, and 'parladoiros' (stone window seats) are just a few of the historical features preserved during the restoration. The estate is completed with well-maintained outdoor areas including a garden with barbecue, outdoor dining area, vegetable plots, and a valuable hórreo ready for use. The property has its own well, as well as connection to mains water and sewage. An additional potable water supply from Mount Neme enhances the property. Just a few meters from the manor stands the Chapel of Santa Mariña de Lemaio, with a Romanesque layout and Baroque construction, where the remains of the manor’s founder rest beneath a slab bearing the same coat of arms—establishing a unique connection between the estate, the surroundings, and its history. Its excellent location, less than 15 minutes from the beaches and in the heart of Costa da Morte, makes it the perfect place to enjoy this extraordinary region, known for its landscape, heritage, and gastronomy. The area is rich in outdoor activities like surfing, sailing, diving, horse riding, golf, or hiking trails such as the renowned 'Camiño dos Faros', a 200+ km route along the coast. From the manor, you can also easily reach major cities like A Coruña (35 km) or Santiago de Compostela (54 km), both with international airports. Currently, Pazo de Lemaio operates as a holiday rental home with high online ratings and excellent performance. This property represents a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Galician history, as well as an ideal place to live or develop a profitable rural tourism business in a privileged setting.
