Own a piece of Galicia: Entire village for sale at just 65,000 euros

A charming rural retreat in Lugo province has come up for sale with houses, farmland and its own natural spring

If you've ever dreamt of leaving the hustle and bustle behind for a quiet life in the northern Spanish countryside, this could be your chance. A small village in Lugo province, Galicia, is up for sale for just €65,000 – less than the price of a one-bedroom flat in many cities.

Covering around 13,000 square metres, the "property" in the district of Sante, Trabada, consists of six buildings, including a traditional Galician stone house of approximately 140 square metres. The roof of the main house has already been renovated, but the remaining structures need restoration. Alongside the buildings, the land features meadows, with eucalyptus and pine trees and its own natural spring – an increasingly rare asset in rural Spain.

Set in a peaceful valley, the village enjoys spectacular mountain views and offers a perfect retreat for nature lovers. The surrounding area is known for hunting and fishing, with scenic trails ideal for hiking or simply soaking up the tranquillity of the countryside.

Despite its remote feel, the village is accessible via asphalted roads and is only 50 kilometres from Lugo, the provincial capital, and 37 kilometres from the coast. Essential services are within reach, making it a viable option for those looking to restore and live in the property full-time or turn it into a rural tourism business.

For those tempted by the rural lifestyle, especially remote workers or retirees, there are important considerations before making any type of purchase like this. Prospective buyers should research the history and legal status of the village, check property records with the General Directorate of Cadastre, and confirm what services are available. Some rural properties may lack basic utilities like water and electricity, meaning additional costs and procedures to get connected.

Originally listed at €88,500, the price has been reduced to attract buyers. For anyonw seeking a private escape, an investment project or a move to the countryside, this Galician village could be the opportunity of a lifetime!
