Rural tourism properties for independent purchase in Taramundi

Rural tourism complex in Taramundi, three independent units by the River Turia

This property is located just 1.5 km from Taramundi, in the heart of western Asturias. Set in a small village that retains its traditional charm with perfectly maintained stone, slate and timber houses, it enjoys a privileged setting surrounded by green mountains, on the banks of the River Turia.

The property is offered divided into three independent units that can be purchased separately or as a whole. Each unit includes one or more buildings and a plot by the River Turia.

In total, the complex comprises 3 restored rural houses with 4 independent apartments, 1 additional house undergoing restoration and 3 plots of land by the River Turia, which flows just 150 metres from the buildings. It also includes outdoor areas with gardens and various additional structures.

The complex currently operates as a rural tourism business. It enjoys an excellent online reputation, with 5 stars on Google and a score of 9.7 on Booking, and has a consolidated base of returning guests.

Each unit is equally suitable for residential use or as a holiday retreat. Those looking for a riverside home ready to move into, a second residence, or simply a peaceful place to unwind will find three unique opportunities in this property.

Unit 1 — House with two-storey apartment, gazebo and riverside plot (€130,000)

The first house, the closest to the river, is the original house with the most history: a former forge that operated for 100 years. It houses a two-storey apartment for 4 people, with a kitchen-living room with fireplace on the ground floor and two bedrooms on the upper floor — one with a double bed and one with two single beds — plus a bathroom with shower.

Outside, a wooden gazebo next to the house provides a covered space for outdoor enjoyment. The unit also includes a 290 m² (0.07 ac) plot by the River Turia, located about 12 metres behind the house.

Unit 2 — House with two apartments, fitted storage room, hórreo and riverside plot (€270,000)

The second unit comprises a two-storey house with two independent apartments, one on each floor, each with capacity for 2 guests.

The ground-floor apartment has a kitchen-living room, double bedroom and bathroom with shower, as well as garden access and a small terrace with table, barbecue and swings.

The upper-floor apartment has a kitchen-living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower, plus a small terrace with table and chairs next to the raised hórreo that frames the entrance to the property.

The unit also includes a small storage room fitted out as a bedroom with bathroom and kitchen. The raised hórreo that frames the entrance to the estate is also part of this unit, along with a garden area extending from the house. A 438 m² (1.08 ac) plot by the River Turia is also included.

Unit 3 — Move-in ready cottage, stone house under restoration, garden and riverside plot (€190,000)

This unit brings together two buildings in different conditions. On one hand, a small single-storey house accessed via a small outdoor terrace with table and barbecue. It houses a two-person apartment with kitchen-living room and a double bedroom with full bathroom.

Attached to it, a large stone house awaiting restoration, which originally comprised two independent dwellings. It comes with a restoration project included in the price, which envisages converting it into an additional apartment with three en-suite bedrooms, a kitchen-living room, bathroom and balcony.

This unit includes a garden area and the largest plot in the complex, 1.164 ha (2.88 ac), also by the River Turia.

Full purchase at the best terms

Purchasing the complete property is offered at better terms than buying the three units separately. The most comprehensive option for those looking to maximise the capacity and profitability of the business from day one.

In addition, the current owner offers to provide guidance and assistance to speed up the restoration of the fourth house, and provides support with the business plan and management of the complex during the first months, ensuring a smooth transition for the new owners.

Buying rural accommodation in Taramundi, land of ferreiros and stunning landscapes

Taramundi is world-renowned as one of the pioneering rural tourism destinations in Spain. In the 1980s, the conversion of the old rectory into a hotel marked the birth of this type of tourism in an area that was then at risk of disappearing. The success of this initiative turned Taramundi into an icon of rural tourism and a model of sustainable development.

The village is part of the Oscos-Eo Biosphere Reserve declared by UNESCO, a territory that combines mountain and coastal landscapes. The River Turia, which rises in Taramundi, has been essential to the development of local craftsmanship through its water-powered mills: mills, hammers and forges that are still preserved today.

The Mazonovo Mills Museum, considered the largest mill museum in Spain with 18 restored mills, and the Os Teixois Ethnographic Complex, declared a Site of Cultural Interest, showcase the area's exceptional industrial and ethnographic heritage. The Ruta del Agua, a 14 km circular trail, allows visitors to discover these treasures through oak and chestnut forests along the river.

Taramundi is also renowned for its knife-making craft, a tradition dating back centuries that is kept alive today by the ferreiros who craft knives and penknives by hand — unique, durable pieces recognised the world over.

The location provides quick access to several towns in Galicia, including A Pontenova (14 km), Meira (26 km) and Lugo (60 km), as well as coastal villages such as Castropol, Figueras, Ribadeo and Vegadeo. The beaches of the Cantabrian coast are less than an hour away.

This property represents an opportunity for those looking to acquire a fully operational rural tourism business as well as for those simply seeking a home or holiday retreat by the river, in one of the most authentic corners of western Asturias.
