Charming home in Castropol’s historic center

Engel & Völkers is pleased to exclusively present this magnificent palace, inspired by eclectic Modernist architecture, located in the heart of Castropol’s historic centre and known as La Casa Grande. This historic building is listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC), and was built in 1890 by its first owner, Mr Ricardo López. It was designed by the prestigious architect Juan Miguel de la Guardia, who was responsible for projects including the Palacio de la Magdalena and La Lila, among other works in Oviedo.

The property has been architecturally preserved as it was when built in 1890, including its decorative features, furniture, and walls and ceilings painted with scenes depicting Asturian landscapes. Due to its age, it mainly requires interior renovation, offering a unique opportunity to restore it to its original historic splendour.

The residence comprises four floors of approximately 230 m² each: a spacious basement; the main ground floor, comprising a dining room, study, living room, games room and gallery; the first floor, dedicated to the bedrooms, with a spacious gallery; and the second floor, intended as staff accommodation, with a large terrace offering magnificent views of the mountains and the Eo estuary.

The ground floor also includes an adjoining building, whose roof has been renovated, like the rest of the property. This space, currently used as a kitchen, covers approximately 40 m².

Outside, the property benefits from a magnificent period entrance garden, an adjoining area suitable for a garage and laundry room, and, at the rear, a garden featuring two large palm trees and an extensive plot with development potential for an additional residence.

The palace is ideal as a second home or for conversion into a hotel, themed restaurant or tourist apartments.
