Unearthed through our Property Finder work: a rare blend of setting, history and substance just inland from the Rías Baixas.
Just ten minutes from the coast, in the peaceful inland parish of Borreiros, this former priest’s house offers space, privacy and a strong sense of place. Built in 1898 and carefully restored in the 1990s, the property retains its original stone walls, wooden features and functional layout. It is solid, practical and full of character.
Set on over 11,000 m² of land, the house enjoys an elevated position with views over the valley, towards the Serra da Groba and the distant sea. The local climate is mild throughout the year, with warm summers, green winters and excellent growing conditions. You’re close to the beaches of Baiona and Playa América, yet comfortably outside the tourist zones.
The main house includes four bedrooms (one en-suite), a welcoming living area with fireplace, a kitchen-dining space and access to a sheltered inner patio. Upstairs, two of the bedrooms feature balconies with open views. The outdoor area includes:
- A bodega with an old wine press and barbecue
- Two traditional hórreos
- A private 10 × 5 m pool, fenced and surrounded by trees
- Covered dining and seating areas
- A fully preserved chapel
- Stone-paved paths, shaded corners and mature oak trees
These features reflect the property’s origins as a working and communal home. It was not just a residence but also a vital part of village life.
Located in the Val Miñor region, the property benefits from good local services, schools and easy access to both the coast and the city of Vigo. Vigo Airport is just 30 minutes away, while Porto Airport can be reached in about 1 hour and 40 minutes by car. This makes it a convenient hub for international travel.
Why we love it
It is rare to find a rural Galician property with this much land, character and history so close to the sea. The house is ready to move into, the grounds are generous and the setting offers a perfect balance of peace and connection. There's plenty to enjoy as it stands and just as much potential for further development.
