Once upon a time in the serene town of Västerlanda, nestled amidst the mesmerizing landscapes of Lilla Edets kommun in Sweden, stood a charming red country home waiting to write its next chapter with a new family. The address was Skogsvägen 5, strategically poised to offer its inhabitants breathtaking views of the nearby lake, Västersjön. This was a home that promised peace and simplicity, a getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life yet easily connected to the conveniences of urban living.
As we walk up the narrow path that leads to the house, the first thing that strikes you is its vibrant red façade complemented by the iconic white trims—a nod to the Swedish countryside aesthetic. Here, in this tightly-knit community, people embrace a lifestyle that's unhurried, deeply connected to the seasons and rhythms of the natural world around them.
The property, modestly sized at 56 square meters, offers you three cozy bedrooms and a single bathroom. While not expansive, the space is remarkably efficient and packs both functionality and comfort.

This clever design allows family and friends to gather, sharing stories by the fireplace or cooking up a Swedish feast.
