An architect-designed house with history and a privileged relationship with the sea.
Description
Exceptional detached home on the seafront of Santa Marina Beach, in Ribadesella.
Designed in 1955 by architect Ignacio Álvarez Castelao, one of the most important figures in 20th-century Asturian architecture. Its architecture, with a complex volumetric composition and deeply integrated into the landscape, opens naturally both toward the sea and toward the southern access to the plot, resolving this dual orientation with sensitivity and making light, views, and the garden an essential part of the experience of living in it.
Built on one of the most prominent plots along the seafront, with nearly 3,000 m² of land and an approximate built area of 920 m², the house preserves an unmistakable architectural identity. Its small-format limestone walls, combined with rendered surfaces in different tones and slate roofs, create an understated, expressive, and timeless image, enriched by the fragmentation of the volume into different sections and terraces facing the landscape.
The exterior is a natural extension of the house: the property features four terraces and a carefully maintained garden on a plot of nearly 3,000 m², one of the most outstanding on the front line of Santa Marina, opening onto the landscape and the sea with exceptional breadth. Everything at El Pedregal reflects a vision of living in which architecture, art, garden, and surroundings coexist in harmony, creating a residence of extraordinary character, deeply connected to the coast of Ribadesella.
This is further enhanced by a particularly significant value from both a heritage and investment perspective: the property offers the potential for subdivision to develop two additional homes, a possibility that further strengthens the exceptional nature of this asset through its combination of architectural singularity, generous plot size, and future development potential.
Garage and storage room.
Layout:
The main entrance to the property is through the south façade, via an entryway that immediately conveys the home’s distinguished character and leads into a spacious hall from which circulation to the various rooms is naturally arranged.
From this point, the house unfolds in a rich, fluid, and carefully articulated spatial sequence, characteristic of a residence conceived on an uncommon scale and with a constant relationship between architecture, light, and landscape.
The main floor brings together the principal living areas, with two living rooms, two dining rooms, and several sitting and reading areas that create a versatile, elegant setting suited both to everyday living and to entertaining guests. These rooms enjoy a direct connection to the garden and terraces, as well as sea views, reinforcing the connection between indoors and outdoors that defines the house. The richness of the interior is further enhanced by the presence of artistic and decorative elements integrated into the architecture itself, including mosaics, mural paintings, stained glass, bespoke woodwork, and wrought-iron details designed specifically for the house, several of them created by Antonio Suárez.
The first floor houses the sleeping quarters. It is arranged around 11 bedrooms, one of them en suite, together with 8 bathrooms and 2 guest toilets, offering an especially generous and comfortable layout. The principal bedroom, conceived as a particularly private space, includes its own sitting room and bathroom, as well as open sea views, underscoring the singular character of the property.
The house is completed by a semi-basement level of approximately 220 m² dedicated to auxiliary spaces that significantly enhance its functionality, including a wine cellar, laundry room, utility room, enclosed garage for three cars, bicycle room, and an area for kayaks, windsurf boards, or a snipe dinghy, in keeping with its privileged beachfront location.

Acquiring this property is not simply a residential purchase; it is a smart investment opportunity in Asturias’s most stable luxury market, for three key reasons.
First, the 2,924 m² plot offers the technical possibility of subdivision in the southern area. This would allow for the construction of two independent semi-detached homes (of up to 120 m² each), making it possible to recover a substantial part of the initial investment through their sale or rental, without compromising the privacy of the main villa.
Second, unlike modern constructions, this villa is a true safe-haven asset. The design by Ignacio A. Castelao and the murals by Antonio Suárez give the property the status of a work of art, which tends to appreciate above the average of the conventional real estate market.
Third, available land on Paseo de Santa Marina is virtually nonexistent. A plot of nearly 3,000 m² in this location is a finite asset; the scarcity of beachfront supply ensures sustained long-term appreciation and strong demand in the ultra-luxury rental market.
