A legacy of luxury, a house with history and character, alongside the River Pas and with caves:
Within one of the most exclusive residential areas of Cantabria, in Puente Arce, lies this stunning mountain-style manor, a truly unique property due to its architecture, its location, and its extraordinary historical value.
Constructed with a robust concrete structure and meticulously clad in natural stone, it was created to whim with an exceptional level of detail. Its plans were designed by the prestigious architect Hernández Morales, renowned for his mastery in crafting traditional mountain houses. The façade reflects a stately character with unique elements, such as a carved coat of arms and noble materials like Lerma brick, which impart authenticity and distinction.
The estate rises above a spectacular stone embankment overlooking the River Pas, offering a privileged location and a sense of privacy that is hard to find, in addition to unobstructed views. From the garden itself, one can access the river, which also features a private jetty, making this place a true natural sanctuary. As an absolutely exceptional added value, within the grounds are two caves listed by the Government of Cantabria, dating back to the Mesolithic/Bronze Age, a unique archaeological gem that endows the estate with an incomparable historical and heritage character.
The plot, measuring approximately 7,400 m2 *according to deeds*, is carefully surrounded by vegetation and houses a wide variety of ornamental trees and protected species. Externally, spaces have been created for enjoyment, such as a barbecue area with a built-in dining area, a tennis court, a large swimming pool, and direct access to the river. Particularly noteworthy is a spectacular terrace of approximately 500 m2, featuring a gazebo and a beautiful Romanesque fountain, an ideal setting for celebrations or to savour the tranquillity of the Cantabrian landscape.
The residence boasts 1,230 m2 of constructed space *according to the land registry*, with its interior distributed over 625 m2 across four levels, offering spacious rooms, high ceilings of 2.90 metres, and a layout designed to combine comfort, elegance, and functionality. On the main floor, one enters through a grand reception hall that leads to the main living room and an independent dining room presided over by an elegant French fireplace, with marble skirting boards. From this floor, one also accesses a south-facing porch that connects directly with the aforementioned patio. The kitchen, independent and very spacious, features a breakfast area and a wide variety of storage options, alongside a convenient guest cloakroom.
On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, with the master bedroom standing out for its access to a south-facing terrace with unobstructed views of the river and the mountains, in addition to two full bathrooms. The attic floor offers a versatile space with a full bathroom, ideal for transforming it into an office, additional bedroom, private cinema, games room, or sitting room. The semi-basement houses a large dining area (type txoko), also with a fireplace, perfect for gatherings and events, as well as a designated kitchen area, a laundry room, a wine cellar, a cloakroom, and a garage (currently used as a storage area).
The interior finishes reflect the stately character of the residence: marble floors on the ground floor, Brazilian sucupira wood on the upper floors, wooden mouldings on the ceilings, an oak staircase with single-piece joints, and American pine wooden windows. The property is equipped with oil heating, a septic tank, a motorised access gate, a security system, and bars on the ground floor windows. Additionally, it features three external garages and ample additional parking spaces.
