Casa Storica A Polanco

Live in the remarkable stone residence where the renowned novelist José María de Pereda was born in 1833, a key figure in 19th-century Spanish realist literature.

Set in the heart of Polanco, this outstanding 18th-century baroque-mountain style manor stands within an impressive private estate of over 6,000 m2, surrounded by mature gardens, tree-lined promenades and historic auxiliary buildings.

Constructed in ashlar stone and preserving the defining architectural features of traditional Montañés manor houses, the property is accessed through a monumental semicircular-arched gateway and features elegant arcaded galleries and a south-facing wooden balcony.

Inside, a grand wooden staircase connects three spacious floors, revealing a succession of stately reception rooms, living areas and bedrooms, all imbued with history, character and exceptional potential for restoration.

The estate also includes former service buildings, such as a historic laundry and caretaker’s house, ideal for conversion into guest accommodation.

Strategically located just 24 km from Santander and within easy reach of the Cantabrian coast’s beautiful beaches, this unique property represents a rare opportunity to create an extraordinary residence steeped in heritage and authenticity.
