Pikajärve manor was split off from neighboring Valgjärve in 1749. Its first owners were the Schreiterfelds; later it was linked to the Budbergs, the Glasenapps, the Roths, the Bergs and the Oettingens. From 1873 until 1919 it belonged to the Muellers. The eye-catching Historicist house dates from the last decades of the 1800s and the early 1900s. Set on a tall fieldstone base, it has a high half-hipped roof lined with dormers and a wide projecting center, with an open porch before the main door and verandas on the floors above. Because the base story stands fully above ground, the house reads as three stories tall.
In Soviet times the house was a care home. Today the complex is privately owned and restored, hosting festive events and offering lodging. Many outbuildings survive, a large share of them built of fieldstone.
