luxury waterfront house for sale San Vicente de la Barquera, Spain

In an exceptional setting within the Oyambre Natural Park, this unique property has been designed for those seeking to combine family life in the heart of nature with the management of a well-established tourism business fully integrated into its surroundings. Located opposite the mouth of the Gandarilla River, in the Pombo marshes, the estate extends across nearly 18,000 m² of land—an uncommon size on the western coast of Cantabria—offering privacy, spaciousness, and a close connection to one of the region’s most valuable natural environments. The main residence, a traditional country house of approximately 160 m², preserves the character of Cantabrian architecture through its prominent use of stone and wood. Arranged over two floors, the ground level features a bright open-plan living area with a lounge, fireplace, study, kitchen, and guest restroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and a traditional south-facing gallery overlooking the landscape. From here, one can enjoy sweeping views of the Natural Park and, on clear days, the Picos de Europa mountains. Adjacent to the house are four licensed tourist apartments, totaling approximately 190 m² of additional built space. Ranging from 36 to 45 m², they can accommodate between four and six guests each. Designed to provide year-round comfort, the apartments feature private terraces, fully equipped interiors, high-speed Wi-Fi, and energy-efficient climate control systems. The outdoor areas are among the property's greatest attractions: a swimming pool, landscaped gardens, vegetable garden, children’s play area, and several spaces dedicated to relaxation and contemplation allow residents and guests to fully enjoy this exceptionally beautiful setting. From the viewpoint overlooking the marshes, there are privileged views of San Vicente de la Barquera, its castle, and the Church of Santa María de los Ángeles, all of which form part of the historic landscape of the Cantabrian coast. The surrounding environment is equally remarkable for its ecological richness. The marshlands are home to numerous species of waterbirds, while nearby trails lead through the forests of Monte Corona and some of the most iconic landscapes along Spain’s northern coastline. A rare opportunity on the market, this property seamlessly combines a private residence, natural surroundings, and a thriving tourism activity in a single location, offering a peaceful lifestyle and a business project with strong potential in one of Cantabria’s most sought-after areas.
