The Sibarist

An 18th-century architectural gem just a stone’s throw from Vigo

Description

This magnificently restored Galician mansion, dating back to 1798, retains the authenticity of its original structure while exuding timeless elegance. The stone porticoed gallery, one of its most emblematic features, surrounds the house, creating a direct relationship between the interior and exterior.

The façade, built with traditional ashlars, reveals the historic character of the property and has been restored with a deep respect for the essence of the house, reinforcing its imposing and serene presence.

An original stone perimeter wall surrounds the estate, ensuring privacy, security and an intimate atmosphere that is unusual in the city. The sunny orientation bathes the interior in natural light throughout the day, providing warmth and enhancing the nobility of the traditional materials.

The completely flat garden unfolds as a natural extension of the house. Mature vegetation, historic vines, traditional fountains and a granary that highlights the Galician heritage make up a landscape that invites rest and contemplation. The porch with stone arches is the perfect setting to enjoy the calm, even though it is so close to the centre of Vigo.

A unique property, where history, discretion and beauty come together in perfect balance. A unique refuge for those seeking authenticity and soul in the heart of the city.

Layout:

Inside the main house, the spaces unfold with quiet elegance.

The house is organised around a large living-dining room of almost 50 m², designed as a social hub and bathed in the light that characterises the property.

The sleeping area is organised on a comfortable and balanced level, with a master bedroom, two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. A harmonious ensemble that allows for a fluid and welcoming everyday life.

On the upper floor, a study and a multipurpose space provide the contemporary flexibility that every historic house appreciates: a creative room, private office or additional intimate area, depending on the perspective of those who live there.

The ground floor combines functionality and character. Here you will find a spacious kitchen, a bathroom, a generous wine cellar, a barbecue area and parking space. A level where everyday life coexists with the more traditional essence of the property.

The estate also includes a fully independent, carefully equipped guest house. It has a kitchen, living room, a bright master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and other bedrooms that share an additional bathroom, along with a terrace and a cosy entrance hall. A perfect retreat for guests, family or complementary uses.

Outside, the landscaped areas blend into a mature natural landscape. From the garden, there is direct access to a beautiful riverside walkway, where vegetation surrounds every path.

Despite its calm atmosphere, the property is part of an established residential area, with access to a communal swimming pool and tennis courts. A rare combination: nature, privacy and quality of life without sacrificing urban amenities.

Located in one of Vigo’s most privileged enclaves, the property enjoys an exceptional location that combines tradition, nature and urban connectivity. It is located in a well-established and well-connected area, where residential life intertwines with the dynamic pulse of the city. Vigo offers a unique quality of life: its proximity to the sea, its open views of the estuary, its extensive green spaces and its vibrant cultural and gastronomic offerings make the city a highly sought-after destination. From the property, it is possible to reach the city centre, schools, services, shops and the main transport links in just a few minutes, while maintaining an atmosphere of tranquillity that is difficult to find in the heart of a city. The proximity to natural areas, riverside walks, parks and gardens adds extra value, allowing you to enjoy a balanced lifestyle between nature and the city. A strategic location within Vigo, perfect for those seeking exclusivity, comfort and a seamless connection to everything the city has to offer.

The house enjoys a privileged orientation that enhances the brightness in all its rooms. Natural light floods in throughout the day, highlighting the stone walls, spacious rooms and quality of the renovation. This sunny exposure not only brings warmth and comfort to the home, but also enhances the flat garden, where traditional elements—granaries, fountains, vines and the elegant stone porch—are enveloped in a bright and serene atmosphere. The orientation also favours the use of outdoor spaces, creating pleasant corners to enjoy the open air at any time of year. A sustained and balanced light that becomes one of the great values of the property.

This property brings together, in a manner that is absolutely exceptional in Vigo, Galician architecture from 1798 preserved in its essence; with its porticoed gallery, original stonework and intact heritage features, it offers a serenity that is rare in an urban environment. The respectful renovation, the presence of a separate guest house, the flexibility of its interior spaces and its location in a residential area with access to a swimming pool, tennis courts and a riverside walkway create a unique combination: history, privacy and contemporary quality of life in a single refuge with soul.

The property is in excellent condition following a carefully executed renovation, where every intervention has respected the original architectural essence of 1798. The heritage elements—stone walls, wooden structures, arches, ornamentation, and traditional details—have been preserved and enhanced, ensuring authenticity and solidity throughout. The main house, as well as the adjoining guest house, show a balanced update between contemporary comfort and historical character. The gardens and outdoor areas, equally well maintained, retain their classic layout and ornamental richness, offering a well-kept and fully consolidated environment. This is a property that combines history and functionality with exemplary conservation, ready to be enjoyed from day one without sacrificing its unique identity.

A unique opportunity for an exceptional investment in the Vigo property market, where renovated historic mansions in the city centre are extremely rare and in high demand. Its heritage character, excellent condition and the presence of a fully equipped annexe significantly expand the possibilities for use, whether as a high-end private residence, a home with a separate guest area or even as a space for representative purposes and long-term stays. The strategic location—in the heart of the city but with a private garden and unique architectural features—increases its value in a market that increasingly values the combination of history, privacy and accessibility. The state of conservation, together with the uniqueness of the traditional features and the possibility of having a second home within the same property, makes this mansion a solid asset with the potential for sustained appreciation in the medium and long term.
