Location	Directly north of the player's home
Inhabitants	Ritoranta

Features	Ventti can be played here
Coordinates	X: -170 Z:  1025

Ritoranta's house can be found by travelling east on the dirt road from Peräjärvi, and taking the next right, or by taking the boat from the dock at home and sailing directly north. The house is where the player may partake in a game of ventti. Ritoranta, who appears here from 20:00 to 08:00, must be present in order to play the game, though the house can be freely accessed even when there's nobody around.

A burned down building, a narrow dock, a garage, a firewood pile, and a toilet can be found just outside the house. The interior of the house consists of a cushion-less bench which can be used to sleep on, a wood stove, a set of kitchen cabinets, a small rug, and the ventti table itself. A non-portable lantern, playing cards and usable bottle of booze also appear when the dealer is present. Bottle of booze spawns and despawns with a dealer, but if you take it - it won't despawn and remain with you to drink it at any time. Though it's not persistent and will vanish on game reload.

Note: The firewood pile, toilet, bench, and stove can only be used once the house has been won by the player.

The Ruscko, a drivable vehicle, can be found in a shelter next to the road near the house.

The burnt ruins

If you've ever been so nice to visit your dear grandmother, she may have told you about the legend that revolves around the ventti house. She mentions how 'that thing' (Ritoranta) and his dad played cards, and that his dad won a game. The Pig then cursed the Father out of its sheer Anger, who later died in a house fire. The ruins next to the shack are evidence that the Story is true.

For Investigation, take the camera from the Cottage with you next time you Play Ventti, and take a picture of the ruins (Default key: MMB) around midnight. The ghost of the Pig's Father can be seen roaming around the ruins. It doesn't pose any harm to the Player, much like the Phantom of the Mansion.

Living in the house

After winning the house you will be able to use its facilities. Having one more place to live seems like a good idea initially, but ventti house has drawbacks that lowers its usefulness as alternative base of operations.

Pros:

• Ventti house can't be burned down.
• Close to Peräjärvi and Fleetari.
• Has a firewood pile, meaning that you can keep the tractor here and keep delivering firewood (though you will need to bring your own ax).
• Is on the septic tank job route so parking Gifu here between runs won't lower your profits.
• Has a water well.
• Has a shed, for storing car parts and/or your car.
• Not farther to the island then your own house (or even closer).
• Somewhat closer to Landfill site (where empty plastic cans respawn) and, if Jouko had been already moved to Peräjärvi, it's easier to do Kilju runs from here.
• No electricity or telephone bills (because the house lacks both).
• Usable outhouse for saving.

Cons:

• No telephone access.
• No lighting at all. Ritoranta won't leave you his lantern.
• No TV to increase fatigue.
• No sauna (but, then again, no fire hazard).
• No access to a computer.
• No access to mail box (Ritoranta's mailbox will stay there, though unusable).
• Far from Grandma and Livaloinen.
• You won't be able to play ventti anymore.
• No refrigerator
• No parts catalog

Trivia

• The driveway leading to the house has a deep dip which can destroy the player's car if hit at high speed.
