For those who dream of a seamless blend of luxury and the great outdoors, the story of Hanna and Johannes's Honka log villa is an inspiration. It shows how a family's evolving needs can lead to the creation of a truly exceptional second home.
Imagine an escape where luxury meets nature, tailored for your active lifestyle. Hanna and Johannes, like many discerning families, found their perfect retreat not by intention, but by discovery. What started as a casual thought of a "cottage" evolved into a magnificent Honka log villa in Sotkamo, Finland – a testament to spontaneous vision and impeccable design.
This isn't just any vacation home; it's a year-round sanctuary designed for a family that cherishes both invigorating activities and serene moments. Their Honka Vista model, chosen for its functional flow and breathtaking aesthetics, was customized to perfection. They removed the indoor sauna to create a dedicated lakeside sauna building, ensuring an authentic connection to nature. The pièce de résistance? A stunning Honka Frame glass wall that blurs the lines between sophisticated interior and the idyllic birch forest, offering unparalleled lake views.
The couple's journey, from finding a sought-after lakeside plot to overseeing construction, highlights their commitment to quality and a personalized touch. Even during unexpected global shifts, they seized the opportunity to create a haven where every detail, from a large flower meadow to a meticulously designed interior with curated furnishings, reflects their refined taste.
Now, almost every weekend is spent indulging in the "cottage fever." Whether it's skiing, cycling, golfing, or simply basking in the tranquility of their spacious living area with its spectacular views, this Honka log villa is more than a holiday house – it's a meticulously crafted legacy where memories are made, season after season. It's a place where they've achieved a "10 out of 10" in satisfaction, proving that true luxury lies in a home that perfectly encapsulates your aspirations.
Honka Vista worked almost as such except that we took out the sauna, because we’re going to have a separate sauna building near the lake. There were also some other small modifications.

We’d give it a grade of 10 out of 10. Everything has gone perfectly, and so far at least we have no regrets.
