Dravēkas, Kocēnu pagasts

Historic property for sale in Vidzeme near Valmiera, in Kocēni Parish
Just a 6-minute drive from Valmiera lies a historic farmstead featuring distinctive architecture, extensive grounds, and significant development potential. The property is situated along a state highway (Kocēni–Limbaži–Tūja), combining easy accessibility with the spaciousness and privacy of a rural setting.
This is a property with its own distinct character—stone buildings typical of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, fieldstone masonry elements, a grand scale of the buildings, and a historic farmstead layout that has retained its identity to this day.
The property consists of 6 ha of land and a historic complex of buildings:
Residential building – 364.7 m²
An impressively sized brick building that has historically been used as an apartment building. Currently, one apartment on the first floor is connected to utilities—water from a well, electricity, and a local sewer system. Work has begun on replacing the roof, and a renovation plan for the interior is being developed.
Farm building – 504.1 m²
A spacious historic building with high ceilings and a large interior. Its scale and structure offer opportunities to create an architecturally interesting space—such as event or celebration venues, a creative center, workshops, sports or recreational facilities, a tourist attraction, or another business environment. A 45 m² workshop has been established on the property.
The property is complemented by 8 outbuildings or their preserved fieldstone walls, including two cellars. These historic elements give the site a unique character and form the foundation for the complex’s further development.
The 6-hectare site includes 2.5 hectares of cultivated farmland, as well as extensive green space. A circular access road has been preserved next to the residential building.
The property’s historical scale, the building complex, and its proximity to Valmiera offer a rare opportunity to create a high-quality development project within an existing, authentic environment. Here, it is possible to develop an apartment complex, a guesthouse, or a boutique-style tourist attraction; an events and recreation complex; a creative or sports center; or to implement a unique business idea.
The property is suitable for an investor or developer who appreciates historic architecture, large-scale buildings, and an authentic setting, while seeking an opportunity to give the property a new function and value.
The property is 10 km from Valmiera, 36 km from Cēsis, 36 km from Limbaži, and 103 km from downtown Riga.
