Cantabria, Santander, Santa María de Cayón, Spain

Ref. EXP13654
There are properties measured in square metres. And then there are properties measured in possibilities. El Vivar de La Granja belongs to the latter.

This is a rare opportunity: a long-established business with a loyal client base, an integrated residence, independent storage buildings, and more than 9,000 m2 of land.

The building offers nearly 630 m2 of constructed space, distributed across a café/bar area, three spacious dining/function rooms, a professional kitchen, service areas, and restrooms. It has genuine capacity for events and large groups. In addition, there is a 120 m2 covered terrace that allows year-round use, regardless of the weather.

On the upper floor, there is an independent 108 m2 residence with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living-dining room, hall, and its own private access: the perfect solution for living where you work, reducing costs, and keeping the business under constant supervision.

The property is completed by 3 independent storage buildings totalling 133 m2 for operations, stock, or any logistical need, as well as a 60 m2 Canadian-style cabin.

A property of this size, with infrastructure already built and documentation in order, opens the door to a wide variety of projects.

Potential uses:

1. Restaurant and events venue
Continue or relaunch the hospitality business: weddings, banquets, communions, and corporate events. The size of the venue and the surroundings make it especially attractive for private celebrations in high demand across Cantabria.

2. Rural tourism and accommodation
Convert the upper-floor residence and the Canadian-style cabin into charming rural accommodation. Cantabria is one of the fastest-growing inland tourism destinations in Spain.

3. Wellness centre or retreat venue
With over 9,000 m2 of land, the tranquillity of the valley, and generous indoor and outdoor spaces, this is the ideal setting for a yoga centre, meditation retreats, wellness workshops, or therapeutic tourism. A growing trend with strong spending power among urban clients.

4. Cultural or creative space
The large dining halls and covered terrace make it possible to host exhibitions, intimate concerts, artisan markets, workshops, or artist residencies. A property with character in a natural setting offers strong potential as a cultural landmark in the area.

5. Mixed residential and business project
The physical separation between the commercial premises (ground floor) and the residence (upper floor) allows them to be operated completely independently: rent out the business while living in the house, or vice versa. A model that can generate recurring income from a single initial investment.
