Villa Koli – a unique seafront villa in Koukkuniemi, Espoo You can sense the special character of this home the moment you arrive. Set proudly on a hilltop, the villa offers impressive sea views from nearly every room. The scenery changes with the seasons – calm and quiet in winter, bright and green in summer. The sea surrounds the property, birds are singing, the pace slows down and the city fades into the background. Completed in 1917, Villa Koli was designed by the respected architect Wivi Lönn and is one of only five buildings in Espoo protected under the Finnish Heritage Conservation Act. Despite its historical significance, the house feels like a home where history is a natural part of everyday living. Originally built as a summer residence for the family of Archiater Juho Jaakko Karvonen, Villa Koli represents classical-influenced villa architecture of the 1910s at its purest. The well-maintained, century-old building features a solid log frame and granite foundation, reflecting a time when houses were built to last. The property was protected and renovated in 1984 according to plans by architect Ilkka Pajamies, when a separate sauna building was also constructed on the grounds and has been used to accommodate guests. Inside, history and warmth come together. The spacious living areas on the ground floor – including the hall, dining room and library – form an inviting setting for both entertaining and everyday living. The fully renovated kitchen combines modern functionality with timeless design. The upper floor adapts to different needs, whether for family living, working, or guest accommodation, with the possibility of up to six bedrooms. Carefully restored original tiled stoves, period-appropriate materials and thoughtful details create a cohesive and timeless interior. The grounds form a private and sheltered setting of their own. The green and easy-to-maintain plot of nearly 4,000 m² provides space to relax and enjoy. The nearby coastal path and the sea bring nature seamlessly into everyday life. Villa Koli is a protected property whose value is based on its unique history, architecture and setting. It is also a wonderful home to enjoy life to the fullest and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Finnish cultural heritage while preserving it for future generations. The property has been carefully maintained and renovated over the decades, combining historical character with modern living comfort. The zoning also allows the villa to be used as a corporate representation property. Villa Koli is best experienced in person – only then does its atmosphere fully reveal itself.

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.
