Former village school — renovated log house and its own quiet courtyard near Porvoo

Built in 1911, this log house is a piece of history -- a former village school with a heart still beating. The interior has been completely renovated, and a new sauna building with a main room, municipal water and a large terrace has been completed in 2024 in the courtyard.

The property currently serves as a year-round home. Pipes for water and sewerage have been drawn under the main building, so the connection to the operation is easy. The use of leisure time is immediately successful — outside the base of the summer kitchen there is a sink point with municipal water and drainage, which makes everyday life easier. A gut-insulated base will allow you to build a summer kitchen in the future.

A big yard lives with the seasons. The apple tree, which is more than a hundred years old, still bears a bountiful harvest, and new apple trees, pear trees, sea buckthorn, berry bushes, raspberry and strawberry have been planted in the yard. Solid plant platforms and clear walkways make the yard practical, and a small pond brings life and its own ecosystem. There is also a spring-based ring well in the yard, the waters of which can be used for irrigation.

On the plot there are three cold storage buildings, a total of almost 100 m². The premises serve for storage and storage needs: for example, a log shed for garden tools, a storage room in the loft and a former sauna, which serves as a more sheltered storage space for more sensitive items. The development potential of the yard has already begun thoughtfully and on the terms of nature — here it is easy to continue in the direction of your own dreams.

You can reach Porvoo in about 20 minutes, Helsinki in less than an hour.
