Cottage, Katajamaantie 32
97240 Sonka
This unique lakeside property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and authentic Lapland atmosphere. Nearly three hectares of private land, its own beach, and several separate buildings create the setting for a shared recreational spot for a larger family as well as year-round living amidst nature.
In addition to the main house, the yard features a cozy lakeside sauna, a guest cabin, a yard hut, a barbecue shelter, and a spacious garage. There is enough space for accommodation, socializing, and personal hobbies without having to compromise on peace and quiet. The private beach invites swimming, boating, and enjoying the Midnight Sun of Lapland, while in winter, the surrounding nature offers experiences directly from the doorstep.
The heart of the home is a spacious living area, where a fireplace provides warmth and atmosphere throughout the year. The sauna section, glass room, and comfortable living spaces make everyday life and leisure enjoyable in all seasons.
Here, you wake up to a lake view, spend evenings by the campfire, and enjoy the tranquility that is increasingly difficult to find. The entire property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Lapland’s natural peace – a place where friends, family, and guests can gather comfortably, yet where there is also space for solitude.
Such properties rarely come on the market. This is more than a home or cottage – it is a lifestyle by the lake, in the midst of pure and untouched nature.
