In the heart of Galicia, this rectory house from 1482 preserves centuries of history among stone walls and Albariño vineyards. With direct access to the adjacent church, traditional hórreo and independent small house, it is a unique legacy where medieval architecture coexists with 4.3 hectares (10.62 acres) of productive land.
This exceptional property is located in Vedra, just 15 km from Santiago de Compostela and its international airport. In the heart of the Ulla valley, its privileged location combines rural tranquillity with excellent connectivity to the Compostelan capital.
The historic complex represents one of the best-preserved examples of civil religious architecture in Galicia. With its fantastic panoramic views of the Galician mountains, this rectory house and its adjoining church make this property a living testimony to medieval ecclesiastical organization.
The property extends over 4.3 hectares (10.62 acres), of which 2 hectares (4.94 acres) are dedicated to Albariño vineyard exploitation, currently leased and providing additional income. The five different access points guarantee perfect functionality for both vehicles and agricultural machinery.
The main house represents a jewel of 15th-century architecture, with original masonry walls and prehistoric megalithic elements integrated into its structure, thus creating a unique architectural ensemble spanning different historical periods.
The dwelling is distributed over three floors that adapt perfectly to the terrain's topography. On the main floor is the kitchen with traditional lareira and exterior exit, a space that preserves intact the medieval domestic atmosphere. The house has four bathrooms, two together, one complete with hydromassage bathtub and shower, another courtesy one used as a laundry room, and an additional one on the upper floor.
A large room with bathroom on the ground floor, previously used for wine storage, preserves the original elements of the historic cellar, including medieval bas-reliefs carved in stone with Latin inscriptions and religious figures.
The 7 bedrooms are distributed among the different floors, some with megalithic elements integrated into the walls that add great archaeological value. The library occupies a prominent space in the attic, with thousands of volumes reflecting the house's intellectual tradition.
The complex is completed with Antón's small house, an independent construction currently used as tourist accommodation. This charming building has a living-dining room, double bedroom and complete shower, perfectly restored with exposed stone walls and original wooden beams.
A traditional Galician hórreo perfectly preserved, with its characteristic elevated stone columns, represents one of the most emblematic heritage elements of the ensemble. The gardens include a landscape-integrated pool, landscaped areas with hydrangeas, palm trees and native species, and a productive vegetable garden.
The underground cellar with original stone vaults preserves the wine-making tradition with traditional clay bottle racks, antique demijohns and historic elaboration elements that connect directly with the Albariño vineyards in production.
Vedra is part of the Ulla valley, territory occupied since prehistoric times as evidenced by the existing mámoas in the area. The municipality preserves rich natural and architectural heritage with manor houses like Santa Cruz de Ribadulla, known as Pazo de Ortigueira, and the spectacular Gundián Bridge, a 20th-century engineering work that rises 80 metres above the Ulla river.
The Gundián Viewpoint offers impressive valley views, while the Ribeira do Ulla Designation of Origin recognizes the quality of wines produced in the area, including those from this property. The proximity to Ximonde Reserve, one of Galicia's most important salmon reserves, adds natural value to the environment.
The location allows easy access to Santiago de Compostela (15 km), declared a World Heritage Site, with its cathedral and medieval historic centre. The connection via AP-53 motorway and N-525 road facilitates access to A Coruña (70 km) and Santiago international airport (25 km), while the public transport network connects all the municipality's parishes with the Compostelan capital.
