Galician Architecture with a Contemporary Soul in Rías Baixas
Description
Perched atop a hill with open views of the Pontevedra estuary and Tambo Island, this century-old home was restored between 2022 and 2024 under the direction of the Rojo Fernández-Shaw studio.
The project honors the essence of traditional Galician architecture, reinterpreting it with a contemporary sensibility through a bioconstruction approach. Noble materials, sustainable solutions, and a carefully designed connection with the surrounding landscape have all been thoughtfully integrated.
A unique, peaceful property, surrounded by nature, with no immediate neighbors—yet just a ten-minute walk from the beach. Conceived as a timeless retreat.
Layout:
The home offers a built area of 240 m² spread over two floors. The ground floor features four exterior double bedrooms, all with views of the garden, as well as two fully equipped and thoughtfully designed bathrooms. A central hallway with natural light organizes the space, creating a sense of flow and spaciousness. This floor connects directly to the outdoors through a porch with clean lines and organic materials.
The upper floor is home to the main suite—a spacious and light-filled room with an en-suite bathroom and a private living area. Open to the landscape, this space enjoys unobstructed views and a southwest orientation that brings in warm light throughout the day.
Outdoors, the landscaped plot blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings, with no visual barriers and complete privacy. The southwest-facing pool, with its clean design, offers panoramic views of the sea and Tambo Island. The property also includes a restored original Galician hórreo, a wine cellar, a covered garage, a workshop, and several auxiliary spaces offering a range of potential uses.

5 Stars
In a high and secluded setting, surrounded by nature with commanding views of the estuary and Tambo Island, the property is just a ten-minute walk from small coves and coastal trails. It is located 12 minutes by car from Sanxenxo, 15 minutes from Pontevedra, and less than 40 minutes from Vigo Airport. A perfect balance of seclusion, natural beauty, and connectivity.
The house faces southwest, opening to the afternoon sun and wide, expansive views over the water. Light flows in gently and envelopingly, following the rhythm of the day and enhancing the sense of space and tranquility.
A house with soul, capable of blending Galician rural heritage with a contemporary approach to living. The restoration has honored every original detail, while adding lightness and coherence. In the area, there is no other property that combines this level of architecture, location, and vision of the landscape with such sensitivity.
Completed in 2024, the intervention has been total yet discreet: noble materials, energy efficiency, and essential lines. A home ready to be lived in.
Its location, character, and construction quality position it as an exceptional asset—whether for private use, premium tourism rental, or as an artistic retreat. A rare offering with high demand and strong long-term value stability.
