Aihkipolku, Kuusamo

Welcome to explore this exceptional home near Ruka, in the desirable Kivilampi area. Designed by architect Hannu Hiltula, the home is stylishly decorated with high-quality materials, furniture, and artworks. The six-meter ceiling height of the living room and large windows open up a stunning view directly onto the slopes of Rukatunturi. In winter, you can watch skiers or admire the northern lights by the glow of a designer fireplace. This is a home where everyday life and experiences meet. The well-equipped kitchen caters to even the most demanding home cook's needs and blends naturally with the dining area, where a floor-to-ceiling window brings nature close. The house has four bedrooms: a spacious master bedroom with its own bathroom and toilet, a guest bedroom with a quality bed and storage spaces (the nearby hallway WC serves this room), and a third bedroom with a sofa bed that also functions excellently as a remote work station. The fourth room is a cozy library room – a perfect place to relax and read. By adding a bed, the fourth room can be used as a bedroom if needed. The spacious sauna section fits the whole group, and from the sauna, you can directly access the large, glazed terrace. The sunlit terrace at the back is a favorite spot in summer, and the grassy front yard is surrounded by a pergola and latticework, ensuring the home's privacy. The utility room includes a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The large warm garage and storage space ensure the storage of a broader range of sports equipment. The house uses geothermal heating, with estimated annual electricity consumption of 13,000 - 20,000 kWh, depending on the number of residents. The location is excellent for year-round outdoor activities: the SkiBus stop, ski trails, and outdoor routes are all 250 meters from the doorstep. This is a rare opportunity to live in a home that is architecturally and locationally unique – right in the immediate vicinity of Ruka's services and slopes. The lease is initially made for a fixed term of 12 months and thereafter on a permanent basis.
