Mansions for sale in Cantabria
where the mountains meet the sea.

The region is a single province, with Santander as its capital. Asturias lies to the west, the Basque Country to the east and Castilla y León to the south.

Manor houses and coastal residences

Cantabria mansions are usually old and built to last. Many villages keep stone manor houses with carved coats of arms, and emigrants who returned from the Americas left elegant mansions in towns such as Comillas.

Around Santander, older residences overlook the bay and the beaches of El Sardinero. Inland, valleys such as Liébana, at the foot of the Picos de Europa, offer houses surrounded by meadow and woodland, with privacy that is hard to find on busier coasts.

Heritage homes reward a patient eye. Look at roofs, stonework and any protection on the building, and have a specialist confirm the details. Then tell us the setting you picture, coast or valley, and start with the property search.
