Villa for sale in Cotobade, Ponteareas, Pontevedra

This historic stone property stands in an elevated position overlooking the rolling hills of the Cotobade countryside, in a rural setting that remains within easy driving distance of the Pontevedra city centre.

Ideal as a rural retreat without the sense of isolation, this beautifully converted stone dwelling combines tranquillity with accessibility.

A generous reception area is reached through the main entrance, opening into a galleried space of approximately 40 square metres, currently used as a gym. This area also provides access to a store room or pantry and a ground floor bathroom with shower. To the right lies the entrance to the original house. Stone walls that have stood for centuries frame an interior where traditional character meets contemporary design. Open ceilings create a sense of height, showcasing original beams and roof timbers above the open-plan living and dining areas, with a small set of steps leading up to the kitchen.

A centrally positioned staircase rises to a first floor laid out as a single open mezzanine level. An office space is found first, followed to the left by a large double bedroom with dressing area, en-suite bathroom and freestanding bath. To the right is a single bedroom with its own en-suite shower room. At present, there are no doors separating these areas, giving the interior a free-flowing and modern feel, well suited to couples or families with younger children. Should a more defined layout be preferred, partitions could easily be added. There is also scope to increase accommodation by extending the upper floor into the open area above the lounge and kitchen. Overall, the property offers flexibility and an uncommon blend of bold contemporary style with exposed traditional stone.

From the landing at the top of the stairs, a door leads out onto an expansive terrace with views across the valley and surrounding hills. Adjacent to the terrace is a seven-metre swimming pool, perfectly positioned to enjoy the elevated outlook.

To the front of the house lies a grassed area which, with some care and attention, could become an attractive garden.

The property is located in a small village within the Cotobade area, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle with countryside walks and nearby river beaches. Pontevedra is only a short drive away via good quality main roads, and a small supermarket can be reached in just a couple of minutes by car. This home would suit those seeking a more relaxed pace of life, with space for walking, animals, or raising a small family in a quieter and more private environment.
