Baldone is best known for its natural resources – healing mud and underground mineral water, which have facilitated the development of resort recreation and medical facilities here throughout the centuries. Historically Baldone has been the largest sulphur and climate resort in the Russian Empire and a resort of national importance of the Soviet Union.

Natural resources, the healing power of which has made Baldone known even outside national borders, can still be found in the territory of Baldone municipality. Although mud extraction fields are not open to public, Baldone sulphur spring “Kirzacina” (the lizard) still purls near Kekava river in the territory of Baldone Lilac park. Here You can taste the sulphur water, whose miraculous healing powers have brought countless vacationers to Baldone throughout the centuries.

The territory of Baldone municipality holds several noteworthy objects of architecture - hunting castle of Baltic head forester panne Mickevich, better known as the “White castle” and park, Mercendarbe manor, which used to belong to the former owners of Baldone health resort - Von Liven family with the linden ally, as well as Baldone Lutheran church, built in the beginning of 19th century, which, according to a legend, was once connected to Mercendarbe manor by a secret underground tunnel.

Baldone municipality is surrounded by small hills. The highest one “Riekstukalns” is the home of a unique object - 12th biggest observatory in Europe with the Schmidt telescope, which is one of the largest telescopes of its kind in the world. In one of the hollows of another hill “Vanagkalns” an open-air stage for summer concerts and dances has been built.

In winter time Baldone is a place for winter sports activities. Two skiing bases are based almost near each other – “Riekstu kalns” and “Mežkalni”. Therefore Baldone is one of the places in Latvia with the biggest number of snowboard, slalom and cross-country skiing trails.

The story about Baldone municipality could go on and on - telling You about its natural treasures and memorial sites up to some modern sports and recreation facilities. However, better come and see for Yourself!

Stunning setting
The location of the house is stunning. We had lots of snow and the forest is magical. We were 2 families and had plenty of space for us all. The house had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was excellent and prompt and Gita was great as well. Would definitely recommend!

Clearly a paradise in the woods
We were here with 10 colleagues during the Rammstein Concert in Riga 2019. The House is big, well equipped and in terrific location. It contains a fire-powered sauna and a also fire powered hot tub which is great. There are also two fridges which is good if you need to cool down a lot of beer while also having your food cooled. The bedrooms are very nice arranged. There are also 3 showers and two bathrooms. In general we had a wonderful stay here and if we'll travel to Lativa again we definitely considering to check in here again. Thank you Alfred and Zane for sharing this paradise! See yo soon! -Hans, the big dog Matthias and all the other dudes!

About the host

Hosted by Alfred Ulmanis

Host profile image
I'm from Riga and have lived there all my life. I've studied civil engineering and worked as a road designer. However my true interest lies in philosophy and sustainable lifestyle.

My hobbies are photography, reading and triathlon.

We manage this house together with my mother Zane. She makes sure that everything is fully prepared for worry-free and comfortable holidays.

Why they chose this property

We inherited the land from my great-grandfather, who bought the property in 1938 when Baldone was a famous health resort and SPA.

The construction of the house was completed in 2008. It is built mainly from ecological materials. The interior and exterior of the house is fully designed by the family itself and represents what family values.

What makes this property unique

Mighty pines all around, moss covered forest floor, air so fresh that it makes one dizzy and never-ending choir of birds in the summer. You will hear woodpecker drumming, maybe neighbor's cat will visit you, now and then a car will pass by. In winter a fox might visit you, and if you're lucky, a doe will look in the window. But civilization is nearby - Baldone town center is just 20min walk from the house.
