Commercial Property for Sale – Former Water Tower with Development Potential.
The property is currently designated 100% production land and features a historic former water tower / bore well. A preliminary design project was completed in 2023.
According to the project, the plan includes:
A seasonal café/restaurant on the yard area and ground floor
An exhibition space on the upper floor (e.g., showcasing the history of the water tower)
A parking area to be built on the plot
The project also proposes changing the land use designation to 75% production land and 25% commercial land.
BUILDING INFORMATION
The structure is relatively well preserved.
The silicate brick walls with clean joints are in satisfactory condition
The wooden windows are worn and likely need replacement
The roof also appears to require renovation
The water tower is listed in the Estonian National Heritage Board registry (20th‑century architecture, registry number 533 – railway station water tower). Therefore, all renovation work must use authentic or equivalent materials in accordance with heritage requirements.
Inside the building is a bore well, meaning water can be accessed directly from the structure.
Wastewater is collected into an existing septic tank, which must be emptied as needed
The floor is concrete
Intermediate floor: reinforced concrete
Attic floor: wooden beams
Roof: original hipped roof with timber rafters and tile covering (likely worn)
UTILITIES
Electricity:
At the boundary of the plot there is an Imatra Elekter transit cabinet. From there, a ground cable can be built to the connection point on the overhead line mast, and further as an overhead cable to the transit box.
Connection conditions must be obtained from Imatra Elekter.
There is also an outbuilding with silicate brick cladding on the plot.
ADDITIONAL PLOT INCLUDED
Together with the water tower, the adjacent property Piiri tn 2 (366 m²) is sold for one combined price.
This property includes a garage‑type building with two large doors, an inspection pit, a concrete floor, and silicate brick cladding.
TOTAL AREA & POTENTIAL
Both properties together form a land area of nearly 1100 m², offering interesting development opportunities such as:
Caravan parking and related services (excellent location near major roads frequently used by tourists)
Seasonal hospitality
Exhibition or tourism‑related functions
Small‑scale commercial use
And much more depending on the investor’s vision.
