This exceptional riverside estate spans over 2 hectares along the Velise River, offering approximately 170 metres of private river frontage and 358.3 m² of high-quality living space. Here, modern energy solutions, historical heritage, and a unique natural environment come together to create an extraordinary living experience.
MAIN RESIDENCE
At the heart of the property stands the main house, completed in 2021 with a full basement. The layout has been carefully designed to combine spaciousness, functionality, and a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape. Large terraces, balconies, and picturesque views ensure that nature remains an integral part of everyday life.
The first floor welcomes residents and guests with a spacious entrance hall featuring a wardrobe area and staircase. The left wing of the house accommodates a sauna and relaxation area with a shower room, toilet, and lounge. From here, there is direct access to the riverside terrace, where a hot tub offers beautiful views towards the river.
The centrally positioned kitchen naturally connects the various living spaces, creating a warm and inviting gathering place for both everyday family life and entertaining guests. The right wing features a spacious living room with direct access to the terrace.
The second floor serves as the private family area. A cozy office corner is located in the stair hall with access to a balcony. The highlight of the floor is the spacious 27 m² master bedroom with its own private balcony. In addition, there is a bathroom located on the river side with balcony and two separate bedrooms.
The full basement significantly expands the usable space and flexibility of the home. It includes a technical room, pantry, walk-in wardrobe, studio, and a professionally equipped gym, providing excellent opportunities for hobbies, work, and an active lifestyle.
Built originally for the owners' own family, the house was constructed without compromising on quality, durability, or technical solutions. Construction supervision was carried out by a renowned building inspection specialist. Documentation includes covered works reports, as-built drawings, and photographs from all construction stages. Most of the high-quality furniture and equipment visible in the photographs are included in the sale price.
ADDITIONAL BUILDINGS
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a separate sauna house, outdoor kitchen, guest cabins, garage, workshop, greenhouse, ornamental and fruit garden, and a private swimming area on the riverbank. Together, these features create an exceptional environment for enjoying a premium lifestyle, hosting guests, or developing an exclusive hospitality and accommodation business.

The sauna house has been designed to remain functional during power outages. Water can be sourced from the traditional well or directly from the river, while a boiler positioned above the wood-fired stove provides hot water independently of electricity. The steam room is equipped with a Saunum climate system.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION & ENERGY INDEPENDENCE
One of the property's greatest strengths is its carefully planned autonomy, combining modern comfort with resilience and independence. Modern living standards are supported by geothermal heating, hydronic underfloor heating, and heat-recovery ventilation. Additional features include a water purification and filtration system, central vacuum system, fireplace, and a wood-burning stove with a heat-retaining masonry structure. Security is ensured by video surveillance, an alarm system, and an electric entrance barrier.
Solar panels installed in 2024, combined with a 35 kWh battery storage system, significantly increase the property's energy independence while helping to reduce operating costs.
The building's construction and insulation solutions have been designed for long-term durability, energy efficiency, and a healthy indoor climate. Basement walls are constructed using Columbia hollow blocks, reinforced concrete structures filled with concrete, and EPS insulation. The floor slab between the basement and ground floor consists of concrete panels, while load-bearing walls are built from Weber Fibo lightweight aggregate blocks. The second floor features timber-frame construction and engineered roof trusses. Additional gypsum casting has been used to improve sound insulation between floors. Exterior walls are extensively insulated with multilayer mineral wool systems, and the roof structure includes mineral wool insulation with wind barriers, ensuring an energy-efficient and comfortable indoor environment throughout the year.
HISTORY OF THE HOMESTEAD
The history of the homestead dates back to the 19th century and forms an important part of the property's identity and heritage.
According to local folklore, the founder's daughter worked as a cook at the nearby Päärdu Manor and later married the manor gardener. The manor owner promised the young couple the farm free of charge if their first child was a daughter. As fate would have it, a daughter was born. The manor owner also commissioned a stone wall around the entire property, parts of which can still be seen today in the surrounding forest.
LOCATION & SURROUNDINGS
The Velise River borders the property for approximately 170 metres, providing a unique value that simply cannot be recreated. The private riverbank and swimming area make the river a natural extension of everyday life. Morning swims, evening sauna sessions, fishing, and riverside walks become part of daily living.
The surrounding area is characterised by berry- and mushroom-rich forests, mature trees, and exceptional privacy. The property's woodland provides a sustainable source of firewood and continues to regenerate naturally.
The nearest bus stop is approximately 400 metres away. Märjamaa town centre is only 20 minutes away, Pärnu can be reached in around 40 minutes, and Tallinn is approximately 80 minutes by car.
This exceptional estate is perfectly suited as a permanent residence, private retreat, or an exclusive tourism and hospitality business opportunity.
