Where Contemporary Architecture Meets Untouched Nature A property of this calibre and architectural integrity rarely becomes available on the Finnish market. Surrounded by protected Natura2000 conservation landscapes, this perfect hideaway offers extraordinary serenity and exclusivity while remaining remarkably accessible - only 20 minutes from Helsinki Airport. Set amidst a pristine pine forest, this exceptional lakeside retreat is a rare fusion of contemporary architecture, uncompromising craftsmanship, and complete privacy. Designed by architect Jani Lahti and completed in 2024, the buildings form a striking architectural ensemble overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Pitkäjärvi. Situated only 30 minutes north of Helsinki, this all-year round leisure residence lies between two protected wilderness areas. The property has been carefully integrated into its picturesque surroundings on a private 3.8-hectare estate. Built partly on impressive steel pillars anchored directly into bedrock, the main house appears to float above the landscape, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. The main residence offers approximately 120sqm of beautifully designed living space, complemented by a 60sqm separate studio/atelier and a sauna building closer to the lake. In the main house, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area extends effortlessly onto expansive Siberian larch terraces through an enormous sliding glass wall, framing breathtaking lake views and filling the interiors with natural light. The home also accommodates up to four compact bedrooms, an office, bathroom facilities, and utility room - all thoughtfully designed. Every detail has been meticulously executed: exterior facades, terraces, and pathways are crafted from larch, while the interiors are finished floor-to-ceiling in warm-toned oak. The minimalist yet inviting interiors reflect the refined vision of acclaimed interior architect Joanna Laajisto. Technical solutions and materials are of exceptionally high quality. The property is heated by geothermal energy with water-circulated underfloor heating, while discreetly integrated cooling ensures year-round comfort. The estate also features a private well, extensive lighting design, finished pathways and stairs down to the lakeside, a firepit area, and a private dock for swimming in the clear and calm lake. This is a truly unique opportunity to acquire a modern Nordic retreat where architecture, nature, and craftsmanship exist in perfect harmony. Viewings by private appointment only.

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.
