An Historic Galician Sanctuary

Nestled in the breathtaking heart of the Ribeira Sacra in Lugo, Spain, this magnificent 18th-century rural manor house offers an extraordinarily rare opportunity to own a piece of authentic Galician heritage.

Encompassing 984 square meters of living space over two meticulously restored floors, the residence provides total privacy, rural elegance, and boundless potential for a luxury private retreat, a boutique bed and breakfast, or a wellness haven.

The region itself is world-renowned for its dramatic scenery, therapeutic thermal hot springs, and rich viticultural history. The surrounding river valleys feature steep, terraced vineyards famed for producing exceptional wines. The local Mencia grapes yield vibrant reds, while Godello grapes produce celebrated whites, both traditionally harvested by hand using boats along the majestic river Sil. Living here places you in a tranquil, health-focused sanctuary famed for its healing mineral waters, natural beauty, and serene pace of life.

Architectural Elegance & Interior Grandeur

Arriving at the estate, you are greeted by a centuries-old main entrance featuring a grand, double-height doorway accessed by its original, historic iron key. Passing through this impressive threshold reveals an expansive inner hall flooded with natural light from overhead skylights. A beautiful upper veranda wraps around the second floor, framing the space with architectural drama and timeless character.

Every inch of the interior has been thoughtfully updated to provide modern comfort while respecting the home's original granite stone structure. The flooring throughout the kitchen and nine bathrooms features durable, sleek tiling, while the bedrooms and formal living areas are fitted with warm wood laminate. For efficient climate control, each room is equipped with individual electric radiators, allowing you to heat zones as needed. Dedicated, separate hot water tanks service the kitchen and bathrooms, ensuring an endless supply of hot water throughout the home.

Refined Accommodations & Living Spaces

The home boasts eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, each meticulously designed to include its own dedicated ensuite facilities. Across the nine total bathrooms in the residence, configurations cater to every practical requirement: three bedrooms feature modern shower units, one luxury suite includes a full bath complete with a bathtub and bidet, and the remaining bedrooms offer convenient toilet-and-basin setups. The main house bathroom even includes a private urinal for added guest convenience.

Entertainment and dining are central to the home's functional design. Two large, inviting living and dining rooms serve as central gathering points, each equipped with cozy wood-burning stoves that create a warm, welcoming ambiance during cooler months. The remodeled kitchen harmoniously blends modern convenience with traditional Galician roots. It features sleek new fitted cabinetry, an induction cooktop, a convection oven, and a modern refrigerator alongside a traditional wood-burning range cooker with a ceramic top and an authentic open fireplace.

Unmatched Versatility & Ground Floor Potential

The expansive ground floor offers exceptional flexibility for a prospective owner. It houses seven large, multipurpose main rooms that are fully adaptable to your personal needs—perfect for configuring a private home gym, an immersive media room, a billiards lounge, or creative studios.

Additionally, the ground floor features two substantial auxiliary rooms accessible via the rear of the property. Currently utilized as secure storage, these spaces can easily be modified into additional living quarters or opened up to integrate directly with the main floor layout.

Extensive Grounds, Outbuildings & Natural Amenities

Set on sprawling farmland, the estate provides ultimate privacy, making it ideal for those seeking an agricultural endeavor, a self-sustaining lifestyle, or simply an escape from city life. Directly across from the main entrance lies a natural fountain offering tested, abundant, and pure potable spring water.

The grounds feature a paved driveway leading to a lovely outdoor picnic area and a covered carport with ample parking for four to five vehicles. Practical outbuildings abound, including two large historic outer structures perfect for use as stables, livestock barns, a woodshop, or firewood storage. The sale also includes a modern storage shed equipped with a ride-on lawnmower to easily manage the estate's lawns.

Completing the authentic landscape is a classic horreo—a historically protected Galician stone granary elevated on pillars. The surrounding countryside is rich with lush forests and producing fruit trees, yielding fresh harvests of apples, cherries, figs, walnuts, plums, and chestnuts right at your doorstep.

ABOUT THE AREA

Chantada is a picturesque municipality located in the southwestern part of the province of Lugo, within the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. Positioned along the banks of the Asma River near where it flows into the Mino River, the town serves as an important commercial and cultural center for the surrounding rural territory. It is deeply connected to Galicia's traditional heritage, characterized by green landscapes, rolling hills, and a mild, humid oceanic climate.

The town lies at the heart of the Ribeira Sacra, a world-famous wine-producing region known for its dramatic river canyons and terraced vineyards. Chantada plays a vital role in the Ribeira Sacra Designation of Origin (DO), particularly specializing in red wines made from the Mencia grape and white wines from Godello. The steep hillsides along the Mino River require traditional, labor-intensive harvesting methods often referred to as 'heroic viticulture,' producing distinct wines that attract wine enthusiasts from across the globe.

Beyond its winemaking renown, Chantada possesses a rich historical and architectural heritage. Its charming old town features traditional Galician granite buildings, medieval arcades (porticos), and historic plazas such as the Plaza del Canton. The municipality is also home to several notable Romanesque churches scattered throughout its rural parishes, reflecting centuries of religious history. Additionally, the region hosts vibrant cultural festivals, including the famous Festa do Vino (Wine Festival) and traditional carnival celebrations (Entroido).

Travelers heading to Chantada can access the region via several regional transport routes connecting Lugo, Ourense, and Santiago de Compostela.
