Charming mansion in the historic center of Castropol

Engel & Völkers is pleased to exclusively present this magnificent palace, inspired by eclectic modernist architecture located in the heart of the historic centre of Castropol, known as La Casa Grande. It is a historic building, listed as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC), built in 1890 by its first owner, D. Ricardo López. It was designed by the distimnguished architect Juan Miguel de la Guardia, who was responsible for projects such as the Palacio de la Magdalena and La Lila, among others in Oviedo. The property has been architecturally preserved as it would have been when it was newly built in 1890, with decorative elements, furniture, walls and ceilings painted with Asturian landscape scenes. Due to its age, the property mainly requires interior renovation, offering a unique opportunity to restore it to its former historic splendor. The house consists of four floors of approximately 230 m² each; a spacious basement; the main floor dedicated to dining room, office, living room, game room and gallery; first floor, dedicated to bedrooms with a spacious gallery and the second floor dedicated to staff accommodation, with a large terrace offering beautiful views of the mountains and the estuary of the River Eo. On the ground floor there is also an adjoining building, whose roof has been renovated, as has the rest of the property. This area is currently used as a kitchen and has an approximate surface area of 40m². Outside, the property features a beautiful original period front garden, an adjoining area for a garage, laundry room and at the back a garden with two large palm trees and spacious plot of land with building potential for an additional residence. The palace is ideal for a residential vacation home or to convert into a hotel, themed restaurant or tourist apartments.
