Description
Located in the picturesque Barrio Riaño, in the Diseminado de San Román (Santa María de Cayón), this recently restored charming house is a haven where rural life blends with contemporary aesthetics.
Just 25 minutes from Santander and surrounded by cow farms in the north of the Pasiegos Valleys, this property stands out for its rural setting, ideal for enjoying peace and quiet, fresh air and beautiful mountain scenery. A real disconnection without renouncing to urban proximity.
The house, built in 1940 and completely restored in 2025, retains the rustic charm of the past, with a rehabilitation that has respected its original essence, thanks to the work of the Cotta architecture studio, led by Carlota Tapias.
The refurbishment has managed to perfectly blend the traditional style with modern comforts, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Ideal as a main residence or as a second home in one of the most beautiful and authentic natural settings in northern Spain.
Layout:
The property, of 250 m2 distributed in three floors, offers a functional and cosy organisation. It has four double bedrooms, two with double beds and two with twin beds, and three bathrooms, two with shower and one with bathtub.
The kitchen, practical and bright, is fully equipped. The living room retains the warmth of a lived-in house: wood, natural fabrics and pieces recovered from the original house or inherited, which provide authenticity and a timeless air. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an English country house, serene and soulful.
The 1,500 m2 garden surrounds the house and becomes a natural extension of the interior. A large space open to the landscape, perfect for unwinding, organising outdoor gatherings or simply contemplating the surroundings.
