History and landscape at the Pazo de Sobrecarreira

Description

The Pazo de Sobrecarreira stands as one of the most significant historical jewels in the metropolitan area of A Coruña.

Its origin dates back to the 18th century, when the family of the renowned Durán Loriga commissioned the construction of this stately ensemble, which still preserves its noble essence and patrimonial character.

The property extends across a private 56,000 m² estate in Cambre, a privileged natural enclave located just 12 kilometers from the city.

The landscape, carefully preserved, combines century-old gardens, traditional Galician architecture, and an atmosphere of absolute privacy that envelops the visitor from the very first moment.

In this setting, time seems to pause. History, nature, and architecture coexist in harmony, shaping a unique place with a singular identity and extraordinary potential for those wishing to inhabit—or reinterpret—an exceptional legacy.

Layout

On the ground floor, the pazo retains the traditional rooms characteristic of the great Galician estates: pantry, kitchen with bathroom, an additional bathroom, former stables, a sitting room, and several storage areas. A discreetly integrated lift connects all floors, adding functionality without altering the historic essence of the building.

The piano nobile houses a study and a sitting room connected to an en-suite bedroom, as well as a second kitchen. From the main corridor, one accesses a living room adjacent to another bedroom with bathroom, as well as an additional room next to a third bedroom. The attic level features five bedrooms—one of them with a private bathroom—an independent bathroom, and several storage areas. On this façade, the coat of arms of the Loriga-Labora family stands out, a symbol of the ancestral lineage and military tradition of Durán Loriga’s forebears.

The estate is complemented by several annex buildings: a delicate 74 m² chapel, a 70 m² porch, a spacious 270 m² barn, and a 132 m² caretaker’s house that preserves its original layout with stable, garage, storage area, kitchen, living-dining room, bathroom, and three bedrooms.

The entire property is enclosed by a solid stone wall crowned by a grand entrance gate.

Inside, the gardens reveal a landscape of great beauty: a historic fountain, a traditional well, boxwood labyrinths, and an impressive collection of century-old trees—oaks, lime trees, chestnuts, and pines—that create a majestic and serene atmosphere where nature and architecture coexist in perfect harmony.

Located along the heart of the English Way, just a few metres from the parish church of Cambre, the Pazo de Sobrecarreira forms part of one of the area’s most emblematic historic ensembles. Its presence, intrinsically linked to the traditional noble landscape that has long defined this parish, makes it a living testament to Galician architectural and cultural heritage. An enclave where the Castilian legacy and the identity of the territory are expressed with authenticity and character.

Pazo de Sobrecarreira benefits from full orientation on all four façades, allowing natural light to bathe the property throughout the day. Its open configuration toward the landscape ensures bright interiors, ever-changing views, and a privileged relationship with the surroundings, enhancing both its architectural richness and the living experience in every space.

A perfect harmony between heritage, landscape, and authenticity. Its original Galician architecture, preserved since the 18th century, coexists with a 56,000 m² estate that maintains century-old gardens and exceptional privacy. This balance between living history and mature nature creates a unique setting, where every element retains its identity and contributes to an unmistakable character—one found only in truly extraordinary properties.

The Pazo de Sobrecarreira is in excellent condition, preserving both its structural solidity and the original architectural elements that define its historic character. The integrity of the entire estate —from the main residence to the ancillary buildings and gardens— reflects continuous care over the years, allowing the property to maintain its authenticity and heritage value without compromising its current functionality.

The Pazo de Sobrecarreira offers strong potential for profitability thanks to the uniqueness of its historic architecture, the breadth of its grounds, and its strategic location just minutes from A Coruña and directly on the English Way. A truly exceptional opportunity — a rare asset with its own identity — whose value can be significantly enhanced through a respectful restoration and a distinctive project in a market where unique properties are increasingly sought after.
