description

This beautifully restored Galician manor stands out for its quality of finishes and an opportunity to acquire such a property on the coast of the Arousa estuary. Many of these iconic buildings are found inland, but this one is a rare find, a 5-minute walk from the beach, with the expansive golden sands of Mañóns also within easy reach. Boiro town is just a five-minute drive away, providing all the necessary services and shops, as well as places to eat and drink. We are welcomed to the estate via a private driveway, marked by a grand entrance amid the stone wall that encloses the private garden. The whole construction is a quaint traditional stone building which dates back to 1623. Through the main entrance, there is an impressive lobby with open ceilings and a staircase which rises to a galleried landing above. Just to the right as we step in is the old stone Galician kitchen “La eira”, which has been preserved, along with a workshop and cellar room. Through the main reception room and down a hall we find the kitchen, which is kitted out with professional appliances with large extractor hood and stainless steel surfaces, and there is a utility room alongside and a conservatory to the rear that provides access to the garden and the pool, providing a great area to enjoy during the summer. Back down the hallway and to the south wing, we find a large living room and dining room with open ceilings and stairs to a mezzanine area above, currently used for study, games and listening to music. There is a great deal of artwork on the walls, in a house that is full of charm, with open stone and original features. Despite the large open spaces, the living areas achieve a feeling of cosiness. Returning to the entrance hall and up the impressive wooden staircase, which sums up the quality of the carpentry along with the chestnut floors, to the right when we reach the landing are the main bedrooms. Each features its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobes and one benefits from a balcony, while the other boasts its own library accessed by a small staircase. Across the landing to the other side of the house, we find two further bedrooms, again, each with en-suite bathroom and one featuring a study area above. All the bedrooms are of generous and feature built-in furniture. This property has many unique features and is currently full of antiques and artwork, a great deal of which can be negotiated with the sale, as required. This property was lovingly restored at great expense from a ruinous state by the current owners and as a result has relatively recent plumbing and electrical installations. Heating is provided by radiators supplied by an oil-fired boiler. There is a total of around 850 sqm of construction including outbuildings plus a corn-store. And outside in the well-kept gardens we also find a swimming pool. Please contact us for further information.
