Sharing two homes listed directly by their owners on Anyone.com. Both are in Finland, but they offer very different versions of getting away from it all.
1. A log cabin in Finnish Lapland | €129,000
At Taimikkotie 5 in Salla, this silver pine log cabin comes with a fireplace, its own Finnish sauna and a private plot of roughly 2,100 m².
There’s 46 m² of living space plus a sleeping loft, with room for up to six guests according to the owner. Cross-country skiing tracks and snowmobile routes are nearby, and the Sallatunturi ski slopes are approximately 1.1 km away.
This is the one for anyone who likes the idea of spending the day outside, coming home to a sauna and finishing the evening by the fire.
There is some work to budget for: the cabin is sold in its current condition, and the owner recommends replacing the original roof within the next year or two.

2. A former cheese dairy turned country home | €570,000
Kanteleentie 98 in Kantele is on a different scale: approximately 811 m² of living space on an 8,499 m² plot, next to a protected bird area.
Inside you’ll find an 11-metre indoor pool, a sauna and approximately 80 m² of gym space. There’s also a separate building of around 360 m², currently used for storage.
The owners have lived here for more than four decades. They’ve added geothermal heating, solar panels and a wind turbine, and report running costs of approximately €850 per month, including energy, taxes and insurance.
It’s about 55 km from Helsinki International Airport. For a large family, or someone wanting enough space to live and work under one roof, there’s plenty to explore.

Which would you choose: a small cabin near the slopes or a countryside home with room for practically every hobby you’ve ever considered?
