A 17th-century jewel in Galicia: experience history, peace, and natural beauty in this exclusive manor house in Silleda, Pontevedra. Imagine waking up every morning in a property with more than 300 years of history, protected by a high stone wall and surrounded by living nature, flowering gardens, trees brought from Ohio, USA, and the relaxing murmur of a fountain in your own patio. Its construction began in the late 15th century, with expansions until the 17th century, and located in the green heart of Silleda (7 km away), it is a unique opportunity to live in a place with silence and beauty. The property is protected by a wall. It was completely restored respecting its historicity in 2002 by the current owners, retired professors from the United States, taking care of every detail to preserve its original essence and incorporate superior qualities. Subsequently, they improved the roof with several layers of top-of-the-range thermal insulation and Borja tiles, ensuring durability and thermal comfort throughout the year. The whole ensemble transmits balance, serenity, and respect for the authentic and traditional. But this house not only tells a story: it is part of it. Some of its original furniture is now in the Museo do Pobo Galego with all the documentation in the library, as testimony to the heritage and cultural value of the property. This is a place where the past and the present coexist in harmony. The estate totals 12,764 m² and offers absolute privacy, with a natural environment carefully maintained, with ornamental trees that offer shade in summer and fragrant rose bushes imported from England that decorate the interior and exterior gardens: all designed to inspire and offer well-being from every corner. In the meadows there are avocado trees, fig trees, kiwi vines, raspberries, cherry trees, apple trees, pear trees, quince and lemon trees. From the height, it has exceptional views of the valleys where the Toxa, Deza and Ulla rivers converge. And always very abundant drinking water, both for consumption and for irrigation. Modern 'bio' septic tank. The main house, with 630 m² built, is distributed for enjoyment and functionality: • On the ground floor, independent kitchen, furnished by a well-known carpenter from La Estrada, large dining room and living room on the right; two bedrooms on the left. • On the upper floor, two additional bedrooms. • Three well-distributed bathrooms: two en suite and one general for guests. In addition, it has several auxiliary buildings that expand the possibilities of use: • The old caretaker's house with oven, shed with outdoor kitchen, porch, room, laundry room (washer and dryer) and bathroom. • Two traditional Galician granaries, one with two spans dated 1796 and another with four spans from the same period. • A second room for storage and gardening equipment. • And a cabin at the back of the farm, perfect to convert into an independent guest house, maintaining total privacy. This property that is now for sale has been cared for during 20 years to be a refuge: a space of peace in the middle of nature, but with excellent communications. Just minutes from the highway that connects Coruña with Madrid, with access to the Santiago airport and the city, it offers what is almost never achieved: exclusivity, history, connection and quality of life. It's not just a house. It is a place to start a new story.
