ELEGANT SPATIAL LAYOUT
The fully renovated villa extends across three floors with a total area of 353 m².
On the ground floor, a generously sized entrance hall flows seamlessly into the living room, kitchen and dining area. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light from morning to evening, while high ceilings create a sense of grandeur and architectural refinement. This level also features a bedroom or study with a private shower room and WC, a utility room, storage space, a guest toilet and a secondary entrance with a large wardrobe area and shower corner – practical for pets and outdoor activities.
On the southern side of the house, a spacious home SPA complex with sauna and jacuzzi has been planned, allowing the new owner to complete it according to personal preferences.
The second floor accommodates three exceptionally spacious bedrooms measuring 26,2 m², 17,4 m² and 48,8 m². Each bedroom includes a private shower room and wardrobe area, offering hotel-level comfort and privacy.
On the third floor, a separate suite of 39,5 m² with a private shower room provides an ideal retreat for guests or family members.
TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE AND QUALITY
The interior design features predominantly light natural tones and materials that enhance the villa’s timeless character. Floors are finished with wide plank wooden parquet, and triple-glazed windows ensure energy efficiency and tranquillity.
The villa was originally designed by architect Erich Birch in a refined English style that remains architecturally distinctive and rare in the Lohusalu area.
TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS
Heating is provided by a ground-source heat pump, distributed throughout the house via underfloor heating. Domestic hot water is also produced by the heat pump. A heat recovery ventilation system ensures a healthy and comfortable indoor climate year-round.
THE LAND AND SEASIDE SETTING
The villa is sold together with a beautifully landscaped seaside property. A private path leads directly to the sea, where the sandy shoreline creates a serene coastal atmosphere. A natural rosehip hedge protects the beach from strong winds, enhancing privacy and comfort.
With 180 m of private shoreline and direct adjacency to a protected natural area, the surrounding landscape and exclusivity are secured for the future.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
In the 1930s, the Rannuka property belonged to the nearby Vainu farm. Kaarel Uusma, a veteran of the Estonian War of Independence and later director of A/S Eesti Laevandus, acquired the land as a summer residence for his family. The villa was designed by architect Erich Birch, with artistic input from ceramic artist Beatrice Bötker-Uusma.
Construction began in 1938. In 1939, before completion, the house was taken over by occupying forces. In later decades, it was used as a children’s camp and school, which led to various structural alterations. Today, the villa has been comprehensively renovated, preserving its historical dignity while meeting modern standards.
This is a property that embodies Estonian history, architectural distinction and an exceptional seaside lifestyle in one complete estate.
You are warmly invited to visit and experience the unique atmosphere of Lohusalu by the sea.
