For those who have been dreaming of a second home abroad, Utsuvaara Gielas in Levi, Finnish Lapland, provides the perfect opportunity. It is a wonderful location to enjoy peace and quiet.
Utsuvaara Gielas has 22 modern holiday homes available in Levi, in the heart of Finnish Lapland. The apartments provide an ideal holiday home base for remote workers, holidaymakers and investors alike. “This is a wonderful location to enjoy some peace and quiet while still being close to local services,” says Tanja Sotka, Utsuvaara Gielas’ estate agent.
Each apartment has direct access to ski slopes and cross-country skiing trails right from the doorstep. The location also provides opportunities for all kinds of activities, from mountain biking and hiking to spotting the Northern Lights. And the centre of Levi, with its selection of restaurants, shops and other services, is only a ten-minute drive away.
The apartments at Utsuvaara Gielas feature a modern Nordic interior, while honouring the surrounding landscape. The size range from one-bedroom flats to three-storey chalets, and each apartment has its own sauna, two toilets, large windows and a covered balcony or a terrace, making sure that Lapland’s scenery is accessible throughout the year.
Hassle-free home ownership
“Half of the properties have been sold so far. The common denominator with all our buyers is that they have decided to make a long-term investment for the future of their families,” says Sotka. “The apartments will be completed and released to buyers at the end of October 2024, meaning that families get to enjoy a magical winter here this year already. This would also make for a fantastic Christmas present for a family.”
Utsuvaara Gielas offers a smooth process for buyers: a voluntary option of a pre-negotiated mortgage is available, and the apartment ownership is through a housing company, which is one of the most common forms of real estate ownership in Finland. As a shareholder, the buyer becomes part of the housing company, which manages things such as property tax, building insurance and day-to-day maintenance including snow shovelling and property management.
“This is a hassle-free option to home-owning. It’s especially convenient for people looking to buy a second home in Finnish Lapland. Buyers can rest easy knowing the property is being looked after even when they’re not there,” Sotka concludes.
