Casa da Veiga

About this property

A granite farmhouse on a south-facing slope above the Sil, with terraces of old vines and a view that reaches clear across the canyon on a clear day.

The main house was partly renovated in 2019: new roof, new plumbing and wiring, and a kitchen and bathroom that work. The upper floor is a shell, waiting for someone with a plan. Behind the house are three worked terraces and a stone outbuilding that used to serve as a wine cellar — the old lagar press is still there. The road up to the plot is paved, and the village with its bakery and bar is a seven-minute drive away.

What stood out to us

• Roof and roof structure fully renewed in 2019 — the most expensive item is already done
• South-facing on the slope: sun from breakfast until dinner
• Four adjoining registered parcels, unusual in a region of fragmented land ownership
• Connected to the village water mains and has its own licensed spring

What we're upfront about

For every property we show, we also point out what isn't right or what needs attention — even though we're the ones selling it.

• The upper floor is a shell: budget € 45,000 to € 70,000 to make it habitable
• The outbuilding stands partly on suelo rústico — rezoning it as living space isn't straightforward here
• The septic tank doesn't meet the current standard and needs replacing
• Fibre runs to the village, but not yet to this plot
