Historic property for sale in Vidzeme near Valmiera, in Kocēni Parish
Just a 6-minute drive from Valmiera lies a historic farmstead featuring distinctive architecture, extensive grounds, and significant development potential. The property is situated along a state highway (Kocēni–Limbaži–Tūja), combining easy accessibility with the spaciousness and privacy of a rural setting.
This is a property with its own distinct character—stone buildings typical of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, fieldstone masonry elements, a grand scale of construction, and a historic farmstead layout that has retained its identity to this day.
The property consists of 6 ha of land and a historic building complex:
Residential building – 364.7 m²
An impressively large brick building that has historically been used as an apartment building. Currently, one apartment on the first floor is connected to utilities—water from a well, electricity, and a local sewer system. Work has begun on replacing the roof, and a renovation plan for the interior is being developed.
Farm building – 504.1 m²
A spacious historic building with high ceilings and a large interior. Its scale and structure offer opportunities to create an architecturally interesting space—such as event or celebration venues, a creative center, workshops, sports or recreational facilities, a tourist attraction, or other business environments. A workshop has been established in a 45 m² area.
The property is complemented by 8 outbuildings or their preserved fieldstone walls, including two cellars. These historic elements give the site a unique character and form the foundation for the complex’s further development.
The 6-hectare site includes 2.5 hectares of cultivated farmland, as well as extensive green space. A circular access road has been preserved next to the residential building.
The property’s historical scale, the building complex, and its proximity to Valmiera present a rare opportunity to create a high-quality development project within an existing, authentic environment. Here, it is possible to develop an apartment complex, a guesthouse, or a boutique-style tourist attraction; an events and recreation complex; a creative or sports center; or to implement a unique business idea.
The property is ideal for an investor or developer who appreciates historic architecture, the grand scale of the buildings, and the authentic setting, while seeking an opportunity to give the property a new purpose and value.
