I'll weigh in on this that the object may be one of those
buried old Radioisotope thermoelectric generators
from the 1970's and 80's era Soviet Union:
See These Links:
en.wikipedia.org...
www.bellona.org...
www.absoluteastronomy.com...
They were built like tanks, heavily armoured in some cases
and many times BURIED underground where the local villagers
had NO CLUE as to where or what they were. The could in some
instances look very much like UFO's because they were heavy
and solid, being made from very hard stainless steels and lead
lined radiation-containment materials.
They also contained Plutonium-238, Curium-244 or Strontium-90
which are so very, very dangerous being highly radioactive !!!

My guess that the house sits on or near an old military
airfield, an old weapons storage centre or is near an
air navigation system where a crew buried a device as
a radio beacon for the Soviet bomber fleets. Many of these
devices were just left everywhere in the wild and in some
villages where the locals had NO CLUE what they were!
They were originally to run for 10 to 20 years without servicing
BUT the fuel can still be dangerous for DECADES or even hundreds
of years and there are more than a few still out there uncharted
and utterly forgotten and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS if they are
opened up! The radiation coming from these devices (if breached)
could EASILY KILL with hours or days.
So WATCH OUT as these devices were dumped all over the
Ukraine, Estona, Latvia, Siberia, Finland, Western and South Russia,
the Russia/China border regions and the Kamchatka penninsula,
so if you see one of these call the local Nuclear regulatory
ministry and detail it's GPS location so they can map it
and clean it up!
And as an addition, I should note there were the radioisotope
generators that designed on a more public scale and the ones
that were much more secretive in nature that had more power
output and much heavier & better armoured for military use
in strategic nuclear war scenarios as radio beacons to guiding
bombers, mobiles forces and as Samson-option/Dead-Hand-Switch
radio-retransmitters for use in autonomous 2nd & 3rd wave
nuclear launch scenarios.
If scientists/government officials were already at the site,
then it is highly likely they already KNOW what it is and thus left
it to Estonia to clean up the mess because of the financial cost
and political damage it may cause to Russian/Estonian relations
if someone took too-close of a look and publically announced
a possible ex-Soviet nuclear-waste dumpsite underneath
some villager's backyard.
Hope this helps!
