About the Plots

The plots range in size from approximately 10,000 to 12,000 square metres, with a building right of 1,000 to 1,200 floor square metres.

The terrain is sheltered and forested, featuring a varied landscape with rocky areas on the slope of the hill. The nearest permanent residences are about 300 to 500 metres from the plots.

A snowmobile route passes less than a kilometre away. The Ounasjoki River is less than two kilometres away, and the lakes Sinettäjärvi and Viiksjärvi are located about 5–6 kilometres from the plots.

How to Apply for a Plot

Applying for a plot is easy through the city’s online plot application service.

The main selection criteria focus on the economic feasibility of the proposed plan. Applicants are also encouraged to commit to sustainable tourism development. More detailed application criteria can be found in the plot application service.

Decisions on plot allocation will be made in August 2025.

A main water supply and sewer system will be constructed for the Olleronvaara tourism area, with completion expected in June 2025. Tenants in the area will construct the water and sewer connections from the main network to their own building sites at their own expense. The cost of the main network incurred by the city will be capitalized into the rent of the building plots. A fiber optic network will also be built in the area. The tenant is responsible for ordering the fiber optic connection and related services directly from Neve Oy.

A newly established road maintenance association will be responsible for upgrading and maintaining the road infrastructure in the area.
