A historic lakeside school near Karhejärvi may be repurposed for housing, tourism or community use, according to Tamperelainen, as Ylöjärvi moves to sell Karhen koulu.
The school closed for teaching in 2023, and a 2022 condition survey found the empty building needs major renovation. It sits on almost 4,000 square metres of land and is described by the municipality as a protected, striking school. Protection limits demolition and alterations. Any work must be preceded by a museum authority statement, and the site borders habitat for a species of conservation concern.
Ylöjärvi will first negotiate with public-benefit organisations. If no suitable buyer appears, the property will be offered in an open tender with no reserve price. An external appraisal sets the opening price at €42,500. The city reserves the right to accept or reject offers and aims to complete the sale in 2027; the city board will consider the matter at its meeting next Monday. This comes as the municipality considers cuts and revenue measures in its draft 2027 budget the municipality's draft 2027 budget.
