Description
Some houses are bought, and some houses you fall in love with. La Gualterina is one of the latter: a characterful Asturian country house, exquisitely renovated, waiting for you to complete it.
Arrival. You enter via the driveway and park in the spacious outdoor area, sheltered among the trees. Even before crossing the threshold, you can feel it: there is something different in the air here. You are in La Devesa, in the heart of the Arango Valley, with the murmur of the Aranguín River in the background and green mountains closing the horizon. The noise of the world stays outside.
The ground floor, the heart of the house. You enter to find exposed stone, wooden beams and encaustic tile floors welcoming you with the warmth of authenticity. The large stone kitchen-diner is the soul of the home: spacious, bright and designed for long meals and lingering conversations. Beside it, the living room leaves you speechless: wooden ceilings, a fireplace for winter afternoons and a monumental window framing the valley like a living painting that changes with every season. This floor is completed by a comfortable hallway, guest toilet, pantry and a first bedroom with its own bathroom—perfect for guests or for anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.
The first floor, a retreat. A wooden staircase takes you upstairs to a charming library suspended above the living room: your corner for reading, working remotely or simply taking in the view. From here, a corridor leads to three further spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms and a cosy sitting room. The house opens onto the landscape through a traditional enclosed gallery on the main façade—the perfect place for your first coffee of the day—and a balcony at the rear, overlooking the pool and garden.
The outdoors, to be enjoyed from May to October. The 3,550 m² estate is a luxury in itself: a well-kept garden with hydrangeas, meadows, stone-paved terraces and a covered porch made for meals that stretch into the evening. In front of the house, the pool awaits you with the valley at your feet. Presiding over it all is the jewel of the property: an authentic Asturian panera, witness to a century of history, with a separate room and bathroom beneath it—ideal for guests, a study or a leisure area. A versatile auxiliary building—with a sitting room and bathroom, in addition to the plant room—adds even more flexibility.
Modern comfort, enduring character. Beneath its traditional appearance, La Gualterina is fully equipped for modern life: radiator heating throughout the house with hot-water production, a fireplace in the living room, wooden window frames and high-speed fibre-optic internet for unrestricted remote working. All utilities are in perfect condition and there are no community fees. The property is free of charges and registered with the Land Registry.
Nature without giving anything up. Here you have the peace of the countryside with the convenience of being well connected: direct access to the Cantabrian Motorway (A-8, exit 421), approximately 20 minutes from Asturias Airport, just a short distance from the town of Pravia and all its services—shops, healthcare, schools and railway station—around 15 km from the beaches, such as Los Quebrantos Beach, and within easy reach of Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés. Hiking routes begin practically at your doorstep.
Whether as your everyday home or as the retreat you have been dreaming of for years, La Gualterina is one of those opportunities that rarely come along. A unique property, with a built area of 373.85 m² on a 3,550 m² estate, 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Thanks to its character and capacity, it also has clear potential as rural accommodation or premium rental property, should you wish.
