A Unique Architectural Masterpiece
"El Pedregal" is a one-of-a-kind villa located in the most coveted position on Ribadesella’s renowned beachfront, offering direct access to the promenade and unparalleled views of the sea. Designed in 1955 by the famous architect Ignacio Álvarez Castelao, this property combines architectural brilliance, artistic elements, and modern functionality to create a timeless and exclusive residence.
Key Features:
A Remarkable Vision
El Pedregal stands as one of the most remarkable properties on the Ribadesella beachfront, celebrated for its masterful design and integration into the surrounding landscape. The villa's complex volumetric layout harmonizes with its dual orientation: to the north, it opens to the promenade and the beach; to the south, it connects to the public access road. Constructed with irregular limestone blocks, colourful plastered panels, and a slate roof, the villa’s organic design and textures exude timeless charm.
Inside, the home offers a rich sensory experience, featuring five original murals (two mosaics and three frescoes) by acclaimed Asturian artist Antonio Suárez. The property also showcases bespoke wrought ironwork, including gates, window grilles, and perimeter fences, all designed by Castelao himself. These artistic details, coupled with the villa’s innovative architectural elements, make it a true masterpiece.
Spacious Living
With a total built area of 920 m², the property offers a versatile layout:
o 11 Bedrooms: all with built in wardrobes and furniture specially designed for the bedrooms, most with en suite bathrooms, including a wonderful master suite with living room, a private terrace and sea views; and 4 bedrooms for the housekeepers.
o 10 Bathrooms (in need of updating), plus additional guest facilities.
o Multiple stunning living spaces, including a grand salon with a fireplace, a library, a sitting room, and 2 dining areas, most with double height ceilings, designed to maximize natural light and stunning panoramic views.
o A kitchen (in need of updating), laundry room, wine cellar, and ample storage areas.
Modern Amenities: The property is equipped with central heating (in need of updating), a wheelchair lift, and accessibility ramps.
Outdoor Paradise
The property set on a 2,924 m² plot, is surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens, offering a serene oasis. Four terraces provide stunning views of the sea and mountains, ideal for outdoor relaxation or entertaining guests. The villa's slightly elevated position enhances its panoramic vistas.
Further Potential
The current urban planning regulations allow for the construction of 2 additional residences in the southern section of the plot. This unique opportunity allows for future expansion, without compromising the integrity or exclusivity of the main villa, making El Pedregal an attractive investment opportunity.

Its prime location on Ribadesella Beach, combined with its architectural significance and impeccable preservation, make it one of the most sought-after properties in northern Spain.
