Unique Historic Lakeside Property on Pihlajavesi

Step into a piece of Finnish history with this exceptional lakeside property, originally built in 1882. Set in the tranquil beauty of Pihlajavesi, this charming home combines rustic character with modern amenities.

Inside, you’ll find a beautifully updated bedroom, a welcoming kitchen, an indoor toilet, contemporary bathroom facilities, and a cosy sauna. The heart of the house — a traditional, spacious farmhouse-style main room — is currently under renovation, ready for you to finish to your own taste.

Beyond the main house, the estate includes a 50 m² stable and an atmospheric old lakeside sauna, perfect for enjoying authentic Finnish sauna culture just steps from the water.

The property is fully connected to electricity, with fresh water from its own ring well and a wastewater system compliant with modern standards. A well-maintained private road, managed by the local road association, ensures easy year-round access.

Covering nearly 1.5 hectares, the grounds boast natural sandy beaches on both sides of the peninsula — a rare feature that allows you to watch both sunrise and sunset over the water.

Pihlajavesi stretches for around 10 km and is part of the Kokemäenjoki waterway, offering excellent opportunities for fishing, boating, and kayaking. Adventurous paddlers can even make their way to the city of Tampere via connected waterways.

The area is zoned for holiday homes; building a permanent residence would require a deviation permit or zoning change.

This is a rare opportunity to own a historic property in an idyllic lakeside setting — perfect as a peaceful retreat, a renovation project with great potential, or a unique family getaway.
