House for sale in Teo, Spain

More than 4 hectares of land (40,000 m²) surround this Galician manor house, which includes its own chapel. The house provides a peaceful location with views over the natural landscape and proximity to the city of Santiago de Compostela, making it an excellent countryside retreat. Driving up the impressive driveway, the estate features a substantial plot of land extending to the right, with fruit trees and chestnuts, and gardens to the left, on the way up to the main house, a stone construction, with terraces, typical of the architecture of its time. On the other side of the house there is the original grand double-doorway to the estate, with stone columns and a cross guarding the door. From this side the facade is a simple stone and mortar finish over two floors plus the rooms in the attic. The terraces are all on the other side, which faces south and therefore gets the best of the sun throughout the day. The main entrance is via a stone staircase at the east end of the building, which leads into the first floor. Of course, in its day, the ground floor of the building would have been quarters for animals, so the first floor is where the main living areas were built. The roof of the house was replaced in the 1980s after a fire, and many renovations were carried out at that point too. The property remains in good condition, but needs a renovation in order to bring it up to today's standards, and to help this property reach its full potential. Going through the main entrance, there is a hall which gives access to the downstairs, and a living room to the left, with a large stone fireplace. There are terraces facing south from the lounge area, as well as a larger corner terrace accessed via the dining room and master suite. There is also the kitchen, office, two further bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor. Going up another floor we find five more bedrooms, two bathrooms and a store room on the attic level. On the ground floor, we find a games room, pantry, garage and wood store. Outside, there are gardens, land with fruit trees, chestnuts, vines. The plot extends to more than 35,000 m² and contains the chapel of Santa Maria, the other side of the access road, which is also in its own grounds. This property would suit a large family looking for a countryside retreat, investors looking for a potential rural hotel or events space, or simply buyers interested in historic properties in general.
