VILLAVICIOSA, ASTURIAS

OFFERS INVITED IN THE REGION OF 55,000€

Opportunity for a 400m2 construction project. This is not for the faint hearted as it requires a lot of work and money. This property suffered a fire and is a shell requiring the full works. One would have to budget at least 320,000€ to do anything like a proper job and the project would probably need at least two years.

The owners, a spanish family, may not agree on many things but do realise that offers should be considered on a realistic basis as this is the only way forward.

Superb setting opposite the monastery of Valdediós. Adjoining the property are great walks as part of the Camino de Santiago. A large amount of land at the rear is available with this property if required.

There is no doubt that this is a superb setting with a steady flow of tourists visiting the monastery and the restaurant next door. The restaurant is not bad but only offers basic asturian cooking - try the fabada but make sure you take the afternoon off.

The obvious choice for this property is as rural tourism or even a small hotel. All this would be subject to planning permission which would require expert advice, but probably achievable.

The monastery opposite the house is a well renowned architectural delight but will have the affect, in pure property terms, of complicating the planning process as it is a highly protected building. Expert planning advice is essential.

It does still operate and monks are in residence although I don't think they make much of a noise!
