Commercial property for sale in Viiratsi, Farmi 18

For sale is a versatile production and industrial complex located in the small borough of Viiratsi, right on the border of Viljandi city, combining modern freeze-drying technology, cold storage, production areas, storage spaces, and office facilities.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a functioning food industry complex together with professional freeze-drying, blast-freezing, and cold-storage infrastructure. The property is perfectly suited for processing berries, fruits and vegetables, herbs, dietary supplements, pet food, and other high-value-added products. The complex is also suitable for expanding existing production or launching new export-oriented manufacturing.

Location
Addresses: Farmi tee 18 and Iva tee 28, Viiratsi small borough, Viljandi parish, Viljandi County
The complex is located in the Mäeltküla industrial park in a logistically very good location. The property has convenient access from both Farmi tee and Iva tee, and asphalted connections ensure smooth traffic for both heavy trucks and daily production activities.

Properties and development potential
For sale are two cadastral units designated for production land:

• Farmi tee 18 (cadastral code 89901:001:3589) – 14,649 m²
• Iva tee 28 (cadastral code 89801:001:0447) – 96 m²

The total area of the properties is 14,745 m² (1.47 ha).
A detailed plan applies to the property, which gives the future owner a significant development reserve.
The detailed plan allows:

• a built-up area of up to 7,000 m²;
• the construction of up to 8 buildings.

The built-up area of the existing buildings is approximately 4,000 m², leaving significant potential for further expansion of production and storage areas.

Buildings
The complex includes:

• an H-shaped production and storage building with a net area of approx. 2,358 m²;
• a freeze-drying production building with a net area of 493.5 m²;
• a storage building with cold storage and production facilities with a net area of 521.7 m²;
• a shed of approximately 690 m².

Both newer production buildings are constructed from sandwich panels, concrete floors, and a double-pitched gable roof.
The buildings have:

• sectional doors measuring 4.5 × 4.5 m;
• integrated pedestrian doors;
• concreted loading and maneuvering areas.

The concreted area between the buildings together with the usable area of the shed adds approximately 400 m² of additional work and storage space.

Freeze-drying and freezing technology
The greatest asset of the complex is the industrial freeze-drying equipment manufactured in Germany:
Zirbus Sublimator 1000-90 EKS-R
Key indicators:

• total tray area of 89.6 m²;
• cooling capacity for up to 1,000 kg of raw material;
• professional freeze-dry technology for industrial production.

The freeze-drying technology allows the production of long-shelf-life, high-value-added products while preserving their taste, aroma, and nutritional properties. Products manufactured using this technology have also been successfully marketed in Estonia's major retail chains. A valid valuation report is available for the Zirbus equipment.

In addition, the complex features:

• a deep-freeze chamber with a temperature range of -18 °C to -20 °C;
• a blast-freezing chamber with an operating temperature of down to -32 °C;
• a blast freezer with a cooling capacity of 25 kW;
• a deep-freeze chamber evaporator with a capacity of 6 kW;
• various cooling and cold rooms;
• a local ventilation system in the storage chambers.

Additional production and storage building
The complex includes a large H-shaped production and storage building with very wide utilization possibilities.
The building houses:

• production rooms;
• packaging and storage areas;
• offices;
• locker rooms and rest areas;
• sanitary and amenity rooms;
• garages and workshops;
• technical rooms.

Various parts of the building have been used for the food industry, metalworking, repair shop, and warehousing activities.
Rental agreements are valid for some of the areas, allowing the future owner to earn immediate rental income.

Technical solutions
One of the property's biggest strengths is its very high electrical capacity.

• 3-phase industrial electricity;
• connection capacity up to 640 A;
• internet connection;
• central water supply;
• central sewerage.

Waste heat generated during the operation of the refrigeration equipment is used to heat the buildings, helping to reduce energy costs. In addition, the system is partially equipped with heat recovery and evaporator defrost solutions.

Improvements made
Over the years, the complex has undergone several investments and renovations, including:

• renewal of the roof covering;
• partial insulation;
• replacement of windows;
• installation of sectional doors;
• upgrading of electrical and piping systems;
• modernization of heating systems;
• interior renovation in selected rooms.

Additional information

• the property has valid insurance;
• additional materials regarding equipment, production processes, and product samples are available;
• it is possible to inspect the property and equipment operation on-site.

Investment opportunity
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a production-ready freeze-drying and cold-storage complex that combines modern technology, strong infrastructure, and significant development potential.
The industrial Zirbus freeze-drying system, blast-freezing capability, electrical capacity of up to 640 A, existing production and storage areas, potential rental income, and 1.47-hectare production land with a valid detailed plan form a whole that is very rarely available for acquisition on the Estonian market.
Compared to building an equivalent production complex from scratch, the existing solution provides the opportunity to start operations significantly faster and with a smaller investment.

Additional materials, equipment technical data, descriptions of freeze-drying processes, and product samples are available for interested parties to review. If interested, please get in touch and let's arrange a property visit.
