About the Property

This remarkable traditional Galician stone house, more than 100 years old, offers an exceptional opportunity to create a completely independent rural home surrounded by nature.

South-facing and positioned overlooking a beautiful native woodland valley, the property enjoys extraordinary privacy, with no immediate neighbours and approximately 1.17 hectares of private land.

The property is already completely off-grid for electricity and water, with a modern solar installation, battery storage, backup generator and natural spring water supplied to the house by gravity.

The main structural and exterior works have already been completed, including a completely renewed traditional Galician slate roof and a renovated private access road, leaving the interior ready to be designed and restored according to the new owner's vision.

The Main Stone House

The substantial two-storey stone house provides approximately 302m² of built area, with 208m² of usable floor space plus a further 32m² of usable attic space.

The interior is currently largely open-plan, creating an exciting blank canvas for restoration.

The property retains its traditional character while benefiting from major structural and exterior improvements already completed.

Recent improvements include:

• New traditional Galician slate roof

• Chestnut beams and boards

• Waterproof and breathable roof membrane

• 4 Velux roof windows

• Reinforced foundations

• Traditional stone retaining wall

• Large south-facing terrace

• Landscaped areas around the house

• Private access road renovated

• Underground drainage and water infrastructure

The roof was completed in 2024, while the private access road was renovated in 2024.

Off-Grid & Self-Sufficiency

The property has been designed for genuine energy and water independence.

The solar installation comprises:

• 16 solar panels, 550W each

• 8.8kW total installed solar capacity

• Axpert MAX II 8000W inverter

• 10kWh battery storage

• 2 Pylontech US5000 lithium batteries

• Genergy FEROE 4600W inverter generator for backup

• Potential to add further battery storage

The solar system was installed progressively during 2023 and 2024, with the backup generator added in 2025.

The property also has its own natural spring, with water conveyed to the house by gravity.

There is additionally an old spring/fountain beside the house, which was restored in 2026.

Connection to the mains electricity grid is also possible should a future owner wish to apply for it.

38m² Workshop & Outbuilding

A new 38m² agricultural outbuilding provides valuable additional space.

It has an insulated sandwich-panel roof and currently houses the property's solar panels.

The building has been fitted out internally and would be particularly useful as a:

• Workshop

• Studio

• Home office

• Storage area

• Creative workspace

• Project space

It is legally registered as an agricultural outbuilding rather than a dwelling, although it can be used as auxiliary space while the main house is being restored.

Food Forest & Gardens

The property already has an approximately 200m² organic food forest under development, containing a diverse range of fruit trees, shrubs, medicinal plants and ornamental species.

There is plenty of room to expand the growing areas and develop a productive smallholding or self-sufficiency project.

The surrounding land combines levelled areas with slopes and terraces, while mature oak, chestnut and birch woodland creates a beautiful natural environment.

Animals & Outdoor Spaces

The property is already set up for keeping small livestock and poultry.

There is a 10m² chicken coop with:

• 140m² fenced outdoor run

• Egg-laying boxes

• Built-in grain feeder

There is also a small wooden outbuilding with an additional fenced area of approximately 200m², suitable for keeping a few sheep or other animals.

The grounds include several landscaped and terraced areas, together with an independent outdoor terrace overlooking the valley and a fire-pit area with seating.

Natural Spring & Water Features

Water is one of the property's defining features.

The natural spring supplying the property emerges from the surrounding landscape, while the historic spring/fountain near the house has stonework dating back more than 150 years.

The surrounding valley and woodland provide a particularly beautiful setting, with the property offering elevated views across the landscape.

A distinctive rock formation close to the house includes a small cave and moss-covered areas. From its summit, there are particularly impressive views across the valley towards the Ancares Mountains, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Private Land & Rural Lifestyle

The 11,713m² plot provides plenty of space for gardening, animals, woodland management and developing a small rural project.

Thuja trees have been planted along much of the property's boundaries to provide additional privacy.

The area immediately surrounding the house has also been cleared, levelled and landscaped, with underground drainage, wastewater, greywater and rainwater infrastructure already installed.

Water pipes and conduits for future electrical cabling have also been strategically installed throughout the property.

Camino de Santiago Potential

The property is located just 2.7km from the Camino de Santiago Primitivo, creating an interesting potential opportunity for someone looking to develop a small rural project connected with walkers and pilgrims.

Possible uses could include accommodation, a resting place or other Camino-related services, subject to the relevant planning permissions and regulations.

Location & Surroundings

The property is situated in Vilar dos Adrios, Baleira, Lugo, an area renowned for its natural beauty.

It is approximately:

• 2.7km from the Camino de Santiago Primitivo
