The Välja Farm has earned the Title of “Estonia’s Beautiful Home” in 2022!
PROPERTY
The property comprises three buildings: the main house, a barn, and a shed.
MAIN HOUSE – FARMHOUSE
The unique restoration and modernization of the main house in 2007 were primarily guided by the authentic ancient farmhouse, which has been the ancestral home for centuries.
The building is an original farmhouse, and every effort has been made to bring out all the authentic period elements.
During restoration, original materials were used, including a thatched roof, reed insulation, natural stone, round logs, hewn logs, and wooden panelling, wooden frame windows, and many old wooden details were preserved (e.g., solid wood doors, log walls). The main house has been elevated on a proper foundation, the foundation is insulated, and a wooden subfloor and sauna have been added.
UTILITIES
All utilities have been modernized: water supply, sewage, electric heating, toilet, and bathing facilities. The house has water directly from a well. There is both a well and a borehole on the property.
Electricity capacity is 3x25A.
The farmhouse is equipped with fire and security alarms, necessary sensors, a mobile network, and an internet connection.
A new water and sewage pipeline, sewage collection tank, and drainage system have been installed.

The house has a total useful area of 156.6 m², consisting of: entrance hall 6.1 m², kitchen 19.8 m² (stone floor, wood-burning stove), living room-hall 51.4 m² (stone floor, fireplace, the original ancient hearth preserved as a centrepiece), two bedrooms 13.8 m² and 16.1 m² (wooden flooring), toilet-bathroom, sauna (electric stove), sauna anteroom and bathroom (shower), relaxation room 31.6 m², toilet room.
