Two apartments = flexible use

• Apartment 2 (2nd floor) is currently let on Airbnb since April and has shown demand and occupancy — bookings are visible up to September. The apartment is furnished and marketed (theme “A Time Travel to the 70s–80s”). The same apartment is also listed on a regular rental site with good demand. There have been rental enquiries also about the garage. Several good long-term tenant candidates have already shown interest. A rental start date has not yet been agreed.
  See: you can search Airbnb for the listed theme. A direct link is in the links section.

  • Approx. 75 m², own WC and shower in the downstairs sauna area (access via stairs), sauna (6 m²), boiler room, kitchen, 2x bedrooms, lots of wardrobes at the top of the stairs

• Apartment 1 (ground floor) is mainly used for storage at the moment and contains items here and there, but can be prepared for rent or owner-occupation if needed.

  • Approx. 75 m², own WC and shower, kitchen, living room, study and bedroom. Wardrobes. The sauna is located in Apartment 2’s boiler/shower/sauna rooms.

• Garage approx. 30 m², heated by a water-circulating radiator + separate space for a 2,000 L tank

• Storage room: space for wood and other items, concrete floor, uninsulated, corrugated metal roof, approx. 20 m²

• Pink playhouse: practically used as an outdoor storage shed

So you can live in one and rent the other, rent both (Airbnb or long-term) or renovate one while the other produces income.

Why Ypäjä works as an accommodation destination
Ypäjä has very active equestrian activities year-round — the Hevosopisto and the Finnish Equestrian Federation hold events almost every weekend, especially busy in spring–autumn. Larger accommodation (4+ people) is in demand and the local Airbnb market is active, which supports steady guest demand. The Equine College runs events throughout the year and their website shows the event calendar.

Condition and repair needs — openly
A condition survey for the property (Nurak Oy, 2 June 2026) has been carried out and is attached. This is an older house with normal maintenance backlog. Key issues raised in the inspection:

• The roof covering (metal roofing + cardboard underlay), windows, exterior doors, wet rooms, cast-iron drains, hot water tank (2002) and the electrical system are at the end of their technical service life → replacement should be anticipated.

• Exterior repainting and replacement of some rotten timber parts (e.g. bargeboards).

• Foundation wall damp-proofing and drainage are missing; recommendation to direct rainwater away and remove plantings next to the foundations.

• Risk structures noted: the ground floor (double concrete slab + Toja board insulation) and some partition wall constructions.

• The loft and roof could not be inspected → further inspection recommended.

• The building dates from 1968, so carry out an asbestos and hazardous-material survey before demolition/major renovation works.

• Note! The building was washed 7 years ago and generally looks clean afterwards. The greying visible in photos is dirt from surrounding trees and can be removed from the boards with light scraping.

We recommend the buyer reviews the full condition survey report and visits the property in person.

Also, as seller I will train the buyer in using the wood-fired heating system. While it is simple and works well, there is a practical learning curve. Nearly every system has its own “character”, which is good to learn to achieve efficient burns. Do not forget maintenance. I can also assist with other property matters on request and, if necessary, come on site to help — beforehand I will provide the contact details of the best local plumbers.

Location & surroundings
Quiet rural setting, large private plot 2,000 m² next to woodland, approx. 3 km to Ypäjä Equine College. A good property for owner-occupation, as an investment or for accommodation business.
