Flat for sale in Lekeitio, Vizcaya

This unique 159 m² usable property, with the possibility of dividing it into an apartment and a flat, is located in the very heart of the town of Lekeitio, in a privileged setting next to the mouth of the Lea River. Lekeitio is a town in Biscay, halfway between Bilbao and San Sebastián. The property is situated opposite the Town Hall and close to the Basilica of the Assumption of Our Lady, built in the Flamboyant Gothic style. Just two minutes away is the colourful fishing port, packed with bars, and Isuntza Beach. It is connected by a splendid promenade to Karraspio Beach (Mendexa). In 10 minutes by car, you can reach the famous Ogeia Beach (Ispaster), with its sand and rocks. The property is located opposite Garraitz Island, formerly known as San Nicolás. One of the reasons Lekeitio is so special is that, as the tide rises and falls, its landscape changes in a fascinating way: a beach appears and disappears as if by magic, and the town and the island become connected on foot. Garraitz’s archaeological heritage led to the island being declared an archaeological park in 2019. It is currently the only one in the Basque Country.

This beautiful and distinctive flat, located on the second floor of the residential palace built in the 19th century, is listed as No. 42 within the historic centre of Lekeitio and classified as protected heritage, with all the benefits that entails. It has been completely renovated, as has the entire building. It features an impressive main entrance from Uribarren Street and a second private entrance via Gamarra Street. The building has a lift, oak staircases, mahogany railings and a spectacular vaulted ceiling.

The property has been renovated using top-quality materials, including fine chestnut, Guinea and French pine wood for the floors, shutters, wardrobes, doors, skirting boards and bay window, as well as marble in the bathrooms. The ceilings are more than 4 metres high, allowing two of the four bedrooms to have double-height ceilings. The main bedroom features a wrought-iron fireplace and an en-suite bathroom, with a discreet entrance concealed behind one of the wardrobe doors. This bathroom is immense, bright, exterior-facing and fully equipped. There is also a second, spacious interior bathroom. The flat has an excellent layout. The daytime area is separated from the sleeping area by a large and spectacular entrance hall. The former comprises two dining rooms, a spacious kitchen, a laundry area and a large bay window overlooking Gamarra Street. The latter includes the four bedrooms and the two aforementioned bathrooms, as well as a bright and spacious living room with a beautiful decorated ceiling, another French-style fireplace and balconies overlooking the sea.

The entire property is exterior-facing except for one bathroom. It has seven balconies on the building’s façade, featuring cast-iron railings. Spectacular views of the Cantabrian Sea. This is a charming, exceptional and rare property. The furniture, household items, decorative objects and cars are not included in the price.
