Holiday home - 7 persons - 83910 - Juuka

In a peaceful location in the Paalasmaa archipelago, this cozy and partially accessible (wheelchair ramp, no thresholds) high-quality holiday home is set on a four-hectare estate. Paalasmaa, Finland's highest island, is a beautiful and rugged archipelago in the middle of the pristine waters of Lake Pielinen. The journey to Paalasmaa is breathtaking, with its many bridges. There is a year-round ferry connection to the archipelago. The terrain is suitable for hiking and cycling. Paalasmaa is located in Eastern Finland, 104 km from Joensuu and 139 km from Kuopio, both of which have airports and train connections.

Mäntylä is located on the Second Island of Paalasmaa. The farm is idyllic and secluded, surrounded by beautiful birch and pine forests. The nearest house is an abandoned building 290 m away, and the nearest inhabited house is 300 m away, with no visual contact to these.

A birch-lined path (200 m) leads to the lakeshore of Lake Pielinen. There is 50 m of private shoreline. The shore is shallow, gently deepening with a sandy-clay bottom, featuring a pier and a small lakeside sauna (water carried in, no electricity). A campsite on the opposite shore is within rowing distance (300 m). Between the shore and the holiday home is a lightly trafficked road belonging to the Second Island.
