Noble estate from the mid-19th century in Volozhin district sold at auction

Before the repeat auction, the initial price was reduced by 50 percent, after which two bidders immediately registered for the lot. As a result, the bidding on October 7 on the electronic platform "BUTB-Property" lasted only 18 minutes.

At the end of summer, 71,500 rubles were asked for the complex, but the auction was declared void. At the autumn bidding, the initial price was set at 35,750 rubles. Participants made four bids and increased it by 1.2 times. The final price was 42,900 rubles, or about 13,956 US dollars.

The buyer was a private investor from Minsk. The lot included the wooden building itself, with an area of 433.7 square meters, as well as the right to lease more than 50 ares of land for a period of 50 years. According to the land's designation, residential buildings, as well as service and trade facilities, can be located on it.

The estate has an unusual legal status. Despite its age and architectural value, it is not included in the State List of Historical and Cultural Values. In Soviet documents, the building was generally considered an ordinary utility building from 1957. This date was assigned to it during post-war inventory after a subsequent major renovation.

The absence of protected status gives the new owner broad opportunities for further use of the territory. According to the auction terms, the investor can renovate the building or completely demolish it and construct a new object on the plot within five years. If significant changes to the project are not planned, the property must be put into operation within one year after the completion of current repairs.

The estate in Chekhovshchina is considered a rare example of a small noble estate for this area. It is not precisely known who commissioned the construction of the house in the mid-19th century, but the year 1849 is clearly marked on one of the foundation stones.

Before nationalization in 1939, the estate belonged to the noble Selyanka family. In the early 20th century, the family owned about 15,000 ares of land, although according to the 1905 census, only four people permanently lived on the estate. Marian Selyanka is named as the last legal owner of the house. After the arrival of Soviet power, a boarding school was housed in the building.

The estate itself has preserved a number of interesting architectural details. The wooden log cabin is clad externally with boards that imitate brickwork. The main entrance is adorned with a grand portico with four columns. Original forged shutters and hinges from the 19th century have been preserved on the windows.

Next to the house, an old driveway alley and a stone icehouse from 1855 have survived. It is built from boulders and black slag using a rare laying technique called "razynkavaya" (raisin-like).

The auction passed without much excitement, but now the old estate has a new owner. Its future fate will depend on how the investor uses their opportunities and whether they preserve the surviving elements of the historic building.
