Award-Winning Country Home with Private Forest and Outbuildings
A unique farmstead is offered for sale in Pikareinu village, Kanepi municipality, Põlva County. The property has been recognized with the prestigious "Beautiful Estonian Home" award. This lovingly maintained home combines a large land plot, private forest, productive garden, and the authentic charm of Estonian rural life.
PROPERTY
The property covers 33,681 m², of which more than 2.6 hectares consist of well-maintained forest land. In addition to privacy, the forest offers practical value – during the mushroom season, spruce milk caps and other edible mushrooms can be found there, while the annual growth of the forest increases the property's value over time.
The property enjoys convenient year-round access, and winter road maintenance and snow removal are provided by the local municipality.
In addition to the forest, the property includes a spacious and beautifully landscaped 7,142 m² yard area featuring a vegetable garden, greenhouse, orchard, and several outbuildings, including a barn, garage, summer house, Finnish sauna, and a traditional log-built smoke sauna located by a pond.
RESIDENTIAL HOUSE
The property features a wooden house with a total area of 89.7 m², of which 70.7 m² is living space. The house stands on a shallow foundation, has an asbestos-cement roof, and is heated by traditional wood-burning stoves and a wood-fired kitchen stove. Electricity connection is 3x18 A.
Entering the house, you arrive in a hallway that leads to the kitchen, living room, and other living spaces. The ground floor consists of a kitchen, three rooms, and a dry toilet. Two bedrooms are accessed through the kitchen, while the living room opens onto a spacious veranda with large windows overlooking the beautiful garden — an ideal place to spend time with family and friends.
An additional room is located on the upper floor and can be used as a bedroom, hobby room, or guest room.
There is a dry cellar beneath the kitchen, and an additional underground cellar on the property for storing preserves and harvested produce.
YARD AREA AND OUTBUILDINGS
Over the years, a beautiful garden has been established and carefully maintained. The property features various apple tree varieties, a pear tree, sweet and sour cherry trees, and white, red, and black currant bushes.
There is also a greenhouse, vegetable garden, potato field, numerous ornamental plants, and two ponds that add charm and character to the property.
Additional buildings include a large barn, garage, furnished summer house, Finnish sauna, and traditional smoke sauna. The Finnish sauna is in regular use and fully functional. The smoke sauna requires renovation but offers an excellent opportunity to restore one of the most valuable features of a traditional Estonian farmstead.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
The house currently has no water connection and uses a dry toilet. This gives the new owner the opportunity to design and build a water supply and sewage system according to their own needs and preferences. It is possible to apply for support through Estonia's Rural Settlement Programme for the construction of a borehole well and water supply system.
The size of the property also allows for the installation of a geothermal heating system if desired.
The property has a high-speed internet connection, and a fibre-optic connection point is located only a few metres from the property boundary.
LOCATION
Pikareinu village is located in a beautiful natural area near Lake Valgjärv. The lake offers excellent opportunities for swimming, fishing, and relaxation. Several hiking and fitness trails are nearby, while the sports and ski centres of Otepää are only about 11 km away.
Everyday services are conveniently available in Saverna and Kanepi, where there are schools, kindergartens, shops, and other essential services. A school bus serves the area. In addition, a community centre with a library and gym is located approximately 2 km away.
