This location is truly unique, as Ķurmrags enjoys the longest number of sunshine days per year, creating perfect conditions for peaceful relaxation or thrilling adventures in nature. Your neighbor will be one of Latvia’s oldest historic lighthouses – the Ķurmrags Lighthouse, which has guarded these shores for centuries, while the property boundaries stretch to majestic red sandstone cliffs. Only 70 kilometers from Riga and 90 kilometers from the international airport, this property offers an ideal balance between distance from the hustle and bustle of the city and convenient access to major roads. The property includes a fully restored fisherman’s house that combines tradition with modern comfort. Additionally, there is a spa area where you can relax in an outdoor jacuzzi, while guests can enjoy a separate two-bedroom apartment with a sea view. The utility buildings are perfect for both practical needs and family entertainment. The main house leaves a lasting impression – its design preserves the historic spirit of the fishermen, complete with an ancient net drying shed, while modern comfort is ensured by heated rooms with an automatic pellet boiler. Interestingly, the house does not require air conditioning – its unique structure provides a pleasant coolness even on hot summer days. This is a place where technology coexists with nature – there is excellent internet connection for work and entertainment, but mobile signal is weak in the villa, allowing for complete privacy. Villa Ķurmrags offers not only comfort but also an active lifestyle – an automatic lawn mower takes care of the garden, and the property features basketball and beach volleyball courts, inviting you to physical activities. The unique smokehouse allows you to enjoy traditional fisherman’s meals, while the outdoor fire pit and standalone pizza oven fulfill your culinary dreams. Your property is secure – a high-end video surveillance system and security operate 24/7.
