Elegance in a privileged setting

Engel & Völkers is pleased to present, exclusively, an 18th-century former rectory located in the village of Peruyes, in the municipality of Cangas de Onís, near Ribadesella and with views of the Picos de Europa. The property stands out externally for its architecture and structure, the two main protagonists. It is a unique building with the feel of an ecclesiastical house, recalling its origins. The interior is true to its “contemporary neoclassical” style, and its interior design has achieved the perfect blend of antiques, works of art and collectible textiles, elevating the home to the highest level of sophistication and comfort. High ceilings are one of the hallmarks of the Peruyes rectory and play a fundamental role in its design. As a construction with a palatial-house structure, the original dimensions already allowed for considerable heights, which the interior designer enhanced during the renovation. Exposed wooden beams in many of the rooms, especially on the upper floor and in the living rooms, add warmth and emphasize the verticality of the space. These high ceilings are combined with large windows that let in light, illuminating the art collections and textiles. Taking advantage of the height, large-format chandeliers hang and paintings are placed at higher levels, a common technique in projects to give an air of historical “grandeur.” The house welcomes us with a beautiful entrance hall that connects to a wide corridor, where the vertical space is once again the star. From here we move to the different rooms of the home, where the social and resting areas connect, creating spaces to enjoy depending on the time of day. It has spacious living rooms and dining rooms to enjoy company, good food or reading, and three bedrooms with different atmospheres and carefully considered details, such as the curious, perfectly integrated vanity washbasins, with three bathrooms, two of them en suite, all on two floors connected by a discreet staircase. The floors, both indoors and outdoors, in different materials, combine past and present. Key features of this home are the galleries, among the most celebrated areas, designed to enjoy the surrounding landscape; they are two spacious, bright spaces, one with a fireplace used as a sitting room, and the other housing the dining room with two distinct areas. The kitchen maintains a rustic yet sophisticated feel, integrating modern appliances in a setting of exposed stone walls and an old granite washbasin and mosaics. The home combines historic charm with contemporary elegance: spacious, bright and serene rooms, conceived for a sophisticated life in the heart of nature, with open mountain views. The south-facing terrace, as an extension of the house, overlooks a spectacular lap pool, a delight for lovers of swimming or relaxing dips. The garden, designed down to the last detail, ensures the house is surrounded by exuberant nature. The estate has the look of the typical meadows of the area and a layout that seeks total integration with its surroundings, though with certain details that lend distinction, such as its fountain, its herb garden, and the occasional landscaping contribution by the designer. In addition, it offers the possibility of completing the ensemble with other buildings, as the extensive grounds include two buildable plots. Discover this exclusive retreat in Peruyes, Cangas de Onís: a historic house built in 1800 and restored in 2021, with two large suites and a guest room, a guest cloakroom, living room with fireplace, terrace, garden with swimming pool. It also has a courtyard, laundry room, and storage area of approximately 150 m² in a concrete chamber that insulates the house from the ground.
