Finland is a nation defined by its islands and waterways. Over 188,000 islands exist within the country’s borders – most of which are entirely uninhabited. ~76,000 of these islands are larger than 0.5 hectares.

The climate in Finland is characterized by long, cold winters and mild summers. The northernmost regions – namely Lapland – stay cold year round.
Most private islands in Finland are sold as freehold investments – granting full ownership to the purchaser.

Furuskär Island (SOLD)

- Ownership: Freehold
- Development: Developed

Worth noting for investors: there is a possibility for further construction on the island, with permits for four more cabins having been previously obtained. Boating jetties have also been built, allowing for clean access on and off the island.
