A Private Residence by the Baltic Sea

Historic Seaside Residence – 8 Apartments in Kolka
For sale is a unique, fully renovated property just a few steps from the Baltic Sea – a historic former school building transformed into an elegant residential residence comprising eight separate one-bedroom apartments.
Total building area: 437.9 m². Total apartment area: 372.8 m².
The property offers exceptional flexibility. It can be operated as an investment property with eight individual rental units, transformed into an exclusive holiday retreat for an extended family, or enjoyed by several families or a circle of friends – allowing everyone to have their own private apartment while sharing the beautifully landscaped grounds and the privilege of living by the sea.
The property is a high-quality two-storey masonry building whose renovation carefully preserves its historic character while introducing contemporary architecture, modern engineering solutions and a high level of comfort.
The original renovation concept was developed by architect Reinis Liepiņš of Sudraba arhitektūra, introducing a contemporary roof structure and continuous glazed terraces while carefully balancing the proportions of the historic architecture with modern additions.
The detailed architectural design, approvals and architectural supervision were carried out by Rolands Mednis together with the team of Mount House architects. The interiors of the apartments and common areas were designed and implemented by Dace Stabulniece, creating an elegant contemporary environment where historic elements, natural materials and carefully considered design solutions come together harmoniously.
The building comprises eight thoughtfully planned one-bedroom apartments, providing excellent flexibility for private use as well as short- or long-term rental. Each apartment has its own private outdoor space – generous terraces for the ground-floor residences and balconies for the apartments on the upper floor.
The house is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped private courtyard. The property provides eight parking spaces – one for each apartment – as well as eight individual storage units. A dedicated barbecue and outdoor leisure area has also been created for residents and guests.
Majestic mature linden trees surround the property, creating a peaceful, green and private atmosphere. The grounds are enclosed by an authentic wooden fence, while elegant exterior lighting enhances the architecture and courtyard in the evening.
Security is provided by video surveillance in the common areas and around the perimeter of the property. Motion-sensor lighting has been installed in the common areas, while each apartment has its own individual key box – a particularly practical feature when operating the property for short- or long-term rentals.
The building is equipped with modern and energy-efficient engineering systems. The upper-floor apartments feature air conditioning, while the substantial historic masonry walls on the ground floor naturally help maintain a comfortable indoor climate during the summer months.
Each apartment has individual heating, electricity and water meters, providing transparent and efficient management of operating costs – an important advantage for an investment property. Heating is provided by energy-efficient air-source heat pumps combined with heat-recovery ventilation systems. The quality of the renovation and the building's substantial historic masonry construction contribute to efficient running costs.
The property is connected to the central water supply of Kolka, while wastewater is handled by a modern biological treatment system.
Location is one of the property's greatest advantages. The Baltic Sea is only approximately a two-minute walk away, while the centre of Kolka, with shops, cafés and everyday amenities, can be reached within approximately 3–5 minutes on foot.
This is a rare opportunity on the Latvian coast – an entire fully renovated residential property comprising eight individual apartments just steps from the sea. Its layout allows the new owner to choose between several concepts: developing a short- or long-term rental business, creating a boutique seaside retreat, or retaining the entire property as a private residence for family and friends.
A place where historic architecture, proximity to the sea and contemporary comfort come together in a property offering both emotional appeal and long-term investment potential.
