Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of this lakeside property are truly exceptional, offering direct access to the pristine waters of Lake Hiisjärvi, which stretches 4 kilometres in length and 1.5 kilometres in width. The lake shore features a hard, gently deepening sandy bottom just 25 metres from the property, making it perfectly suited for safe and enjoyable swimming. A private boat is available for your use, allowing you to explore the full expanse of the lake at your leisure. The property's lakeside sauna is a highlight of the outdoor experience, complete with a dressing room that includes a bed with a convertible arrangement, a generously sized steam room, and a dedicated terrace where you can relax and take in the tranquil lake views. The sauna is heated exclusively by wood, in keeping with the traditional Finnish sauna culture, and does not include a shower facility. The big glazed terrace attached to the main house provides a sheltered and scenic space for outdoor dining and relaxation, while the Kotakeittiö open fireplace offers a unique setting for cooking and gathering in the open air.
