A mere five minutes from Torrelavega’s local shops and services and 20 minutes from vibrant Santander. In the village you will find a restaurant, two bars and access to an array of leisure activities including horse riding, cycling and hiking.

Tucked away in an unspoiled rural enclave, cradled by the River Besaya and Monte Dobra, lies a charming village long known for its distinctive stone architecture, quietly contemplating the church of San Román. It’s the perfect setting for this luxury estate, offering not one but two traditional Cantabrian country houses, each sensitively refurbished for the best of modern living.

With a combined built area of 1,270 sqm, the two residences are surrounded by exquisitely tended gardens on a 1,780 sqm plot. A swimming pool, chill-out zone with hammocks, barbecue area and several porches set the scene for round-the-clock outdoor living.

The larger house, dating to the eighteenth century, has a built area of 1,059 sqm arranged over three floors. It retains a striking portico with rounded arches, escutcheon with coat of arms, original woodwork (including wooden beams and corbels) and substantial masonry walls. The refurbishment, which remains ongoing, has taken its cue from recurring elements such as reinforced concrete and introduced a palette of high-quality materials and fixtures, including lighting by Fontini. The lower level is laid out as three loft-style apartments, each with a fireplace, bedroom, kitchen and full bathroom, plus an additional guest bathroom and a veranda — ideal for family gatherings and events. The first floor and attic have been left open plan, offering plenty of options for future refurbishment.

The second house, with a built area of 211 sqm, has been refurbished with equal care and refinement and is presented in move-in condition. An open-plan living room with fireplace leads on to a well-equipped kitchen, dining room, pantry, storage area and guest bathroom. There are three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom: two on the ground floor and a master suite on the first floor, complete with spacious sitting area, fireplace, dressing room and bathroom.

All utilities are in place: water, mains electricity, drainage and gas central heating supplied by a propane tank. Covered garaging provides parking for five cars.

A true luxury retreat in a lovely corner of northern Spain, these unique properties are ready for a new chapter, offering a wealth of exciting possibilities.
