Description
Early on a Saturday morning in late August, you step outside with a coffee and the air smells of pine resin and wet grass. The fruit trees at the far end of the garden are heavy with apples. Nobody else is awake yet. That's the kind of quiet that Sunnersbol 72 delivers — not the forced stillness of a spa weekend, but the genuine, unhurried pace of Swedish countryside life.
Sitting in Uppsala kommun, roughly halfway between the university city of Uppsala and the small market town of Alunda, this 1976-built country home sits on a plot of nearly 3,000 square meters — almost three-quarters of an acre — that gives you room to breathe in a way that most European second homes simply can't match at this price point. At 149,500 SEK, this is one of the more accessible entry points into Swedish rural property ownership you'll find, and the combination of move-in condition, outbuildings with genuine conversion potential, and that sweeping plot makes it worth a very serious look.
The house itself is compact and honest — 50 square meters of classic Swedish timber construction, painted in the kind of deep, earthy tones you see on farmhouses all across Uppland. Wooden floors run through the main rooms, the kitchen is functional and well-maintained, and large windows pull in light from multiple angles throughout the day. In a building this size, light matters enormously, and whoever designed this one got that right. The flexible internal layout — three to four rooms plus kitchen — means a couple can spread out comfortably, or a small family can make it work through the summer months with the bedrooms and living space reconfigured to suit.
What makes this property genuinely interesting, though, is what sits outside the main house. There's a solid secondary building that, with modest investment, could realistically become guest accommodation — a private annexe for visiting friends or family, or even a rentable unit if you decide to offset ownership costs. Two smaller sheds handle the practical storage that outdoor Swedish living demands: firewood, bicycles, cross-country ski gear, gardening tools. And the garden itself has been properly tended over the years. Mature fruit trees stand at the edges, flower beds frame the terrace area, and there's enough open lawn for a kitchen garden if that's your thing — or simply for children to run around in without constraint.
The Uppland countryside around Sunnersbol is the kind of landscape that draws people back year after year. Lakes within a few kilometers — including the waterways around the Tierp and Uppsala corridor — offer swimming in summer and ice fishing in the coldest months of January and February. The surrounding forests are serious foraging territory: late July through September, you can fill a basket with chanterelles and porcini within twenty minutes of the house, and the wild blueberries along the forest tracks in August are extraordinary. Hiking and cycling trails thread through the area without needing a car to reach them, and the gravel roads around Sunnersbol are quiet enough for early morning runs where you might not see another person for an hour.
Alunda, about a ten-minute drive away, is a working Swedish small town with genuine services — ICA grocery, pharmacy, school, local café — rather than a tourist village performing an idea of rural life. It has the Upplandsbygden local area feel, with a community that's lived here for generations. The annual Alunda marknad, a traditional market held in the town, draws crowds from across the region and has the authentic character of something that exists for locals rather than visitors. For a wider range of restaurants, shops, and culture, Uppsala is around 45 to 50 minutes by car — Sweden's fourth-largest city, home to the country's oldest university, the impressive Uppsala Cathedral (the largest in Scandinavia), the Gamla Uppsala burial mounds just outside the city, and a restaurant scene that has become genuinely interesting over the past decade. Disagården, the open-air museum at Gamla Uppsala, is worth an afternoon. So is a long lunch at one of the waterfront spots along the Fyrisån river that runs through the city center.
By rail, Uppsala connects to Stockholm's Stockholm Central in around 40 minutes — which means that if you're flying into Arlanda, you're landing essentially between Stockholm and this property. Arlanda Airport sits right on the E4, and the drive from the terminal to Sunnersbol 72 takes under an hour. For buyers flying in from the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, or elsewhere in Europe, the logistics are genuinely straightforward.
Seasonally, this property earns its keep across the year. Swedish summers are long in the light — in June, you get close to 18 hours of daylight at this latitude, and evenings on the terrace stretch until well past ten at night. Autumn brings the forest colors and the foraging season. Winter is real winter: cold, snowy, and atmospheric in a way that a lot of second-home buyers from Southern Europe find genuinely thrilling, especially with a wood stove and a proper Swedish snowfall outside. Spring in Uppland — April through May — is when the birch trees come into leaf and the fields around Sunnersbol turn that specific, vivid green that's hard to describe to anyone who hasn't seen it.
For international buyers, Swedish property ownership is relatively straightforward — there are no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing residential or leisure property in Sweden, and the process is handled through a licensed real estate agent (fastighetsmäklare) with standard title transfer protocols. Annual property tax in Sweden (fastighetsavgift) is capped at moderate levels for properties in this price bracket, and running costs for a well-maintained timber house of this size are manageable. The property is in good condition, meaning you can use it immediately rather than managing a renovation project from abroad.

If you've been watching Swedish property for a while, you'll know that plots of this size at this price don't come up often. The combination of a functional, move-in ready house, conversion potential in the outbuildings, and almost 3,000 square meters of private garden in one of Uppland's quieter corners is the kind of thing that tends to move fairly quickly once it gets in front of the right buyer.
