A rare quality island complex in the most beautiful Archipelago Sea, once used by the heads of state of Finland In the middle of a clean, calm, and captivating Archipelago Sea, with the open sea on the horizon, lies legendary Juusluoto with its surrounding islands. A relatively short distance from the mainland, the property was once the preferred fishing destination of legendary President Kekkonen, whose presidency lasted over 25 years. Here he brought heads of state from different countries to fish and enjoy the beautiful views of the pristine archipelago; rocks, archipelago pine, junipers, as well as the peace that only nature's own sounds accompany. Island properties of this scale, with a land area of more than 25 hectares and 78 hectares of private water area, are only extremely rarely available these days. In addition to the islands, the complex includes a property on the mainland, with a leisure building completed in 2022, as well as a pier for a larger boat. The destination is excellent for those who value privacy, but also for those for whom the unique nature experience offered by the surrounding Archipelago Sea is desirable. The main island, where almost all the buildings are located, has a very easy-to-walk terrain, almost natural. Looking at the island's structures, you feel as if you have traveled back in time a few decades - without passageways or large terraces disturbing the land. The authenticity of the 1960s architecture is something you don't often see these days. The buildings have been very well taken care of, and the island's technical solutions have been constantly developed: for example, a reverse osmosis system was introduced in 2017, providing drinking water from seawater. The island can currently accommodate approximately 20 guests. There are a few buildings and structures on the island, all serving on the one hand the privacy and peace of the guests, and on the other hand enabling a cozy environment for relaxing or conferencing next to the dazzling scenery. The main building has full commercial kitchen equipment and has during many years produced gourmet food services. After arriving on the island, all you need to do is relax and enjoy yourself, as you can find everything you need with excellent services.

This unique “Little Palace” seamlessly combines historical value with modern living comfort, making it a true rarity on the market.

Modern building systems integrate effortlessly with the building’s original spirit. The mansion enjoys a prime location in the center of Tampere, at the corner of Hämeenpuisto and Puuvillatehtaankatu. Just approximately 400 meters away lies the historic Finlayson area, now a vibrant hub for offices, culture, and services. The location offers an ideal balance of tranquility and urban convenience. Architecturally and culturally significant, this Neo-Renaissance property is perfectly suited as a prestigious private residence or as an exclusive venue for events and business use. Originally designed as a residence, the building has also served as office space and later as a venue for celebrations and exhibitions, demonstrating its versatility. The façade renovation completed in 2019–2020 restored the building’s three floors to renewed splendor, subtly highlighting its refined details. Particularly in the evening, the thoughtfully designed exterior lighting enhances its architectural richness. The sheltered courtyard is enclosed by a handcrafted wrought-iron fence and adorned in summer with roses and perennials. At its center stands an impressive fountain, which has served as a romantic backdrop for numerous weddings. The property also includes a three-car garage and storage building completed in 2005. The interiors exude elegance and luxury. The grand hall on the main floor, with its high ceilings and crystal chandeliers, offers a magnificent setting for entertaining, while the piano salon, with its coffered ceiling and ornate wood detailing, creates a unique atmosphere. Every detail has been carefully considered, from architect-designed curtains to period-style wallpapers. Additional striking features include palace-style balconies with columns, intricate wrought-iron railings, ceiling paintings, and an authentic fresco in the staircase hall. The top-floor living quarters form a timelessly elegant ensemble, with each room possessing its own character. The kitchen and bathroom facilities are designed to meet modern living needs. The basement level offers a truly unique experience: a pool area highlighted by a stunning art mosaic by Tuula Lehtinen. In addition, there is an English-style billiard room where original vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, and wall paneling create an authentic 19th-century ambiance. Pikkupalatsi is a property where history, aesthetics, and modern comfort meet in an exceptional way. Building architect: Fredrik Thesleff Designer of the original interior panels: Louis Sparre.
