Description
Picture yourself stepping out onto a sun-warmed wooden porch, coffee in hand, as morning light filters through century-old lilac trees. The scent of wild herbs drifts across your meadow garden, while birdsong fills the air from the protective forest beyond. This is life at your Swedish countryside retreat in Tulka, where each season brings its own rhythm and the archipelago beckons just one kilometer away. This 79-square-meter home from 1909 sits on over 3,200 square meters of gently sloping land, offering an authentic escape into the storied landscape of Roslagen, Sweden's gateway to the Baltic Sea archipelago. The property combines the soul of early 20th-century Swedish craftsmanship with practical amenities for modern vacation living, creating a ready-to-enjoy second home that welcomes you year-round. Inside, mullioned windows frame views across open farmland while original wooden floors flow through rooms warmed by crackling wood-burning stoves. The open-plan living and kitchen area becomes the heart of gatherings, where exposed ceiling beams and white-painted beadboard create that quintessential Swedish cottage atmosphere. Two bedrooms provide restful spaces with traditional beadboard ceilings, while the functional bathroom includes shower, toilet, and washing machine for extended stays. What sets this property apart is the guest accommodation scattered across the grounds. A 21-square-meter insulated guest cottage sleeps children or visiting friends comfortably, maintaining privacy for everyone. A second 10-square-meter guest house offers additional overflow sleeping space, perfect for summer gatherings when family arrives. A 30-square-meter outbuilding with woodshed ensures you're prepared for cozy winter weekends, while the traditional root cellar beneath adds historic charm and practical storage. Living in Herräng means embracing the Swedish concept of friluftsliv, the outdoor life that defines Nordic culture. Your location in Tulka village connects you to a community with century-old roots, where historic buildings stand preserved and neighbors gather for midsummer celebrations. One kilometer south, Edeboviken opens into the northern Roslagen archipelago, a maze of 30,000 islands offering endless exploration by boat, kayak, or simply from rocky swimming spots along the shore. Summer days stretch long here, with June bringing nearly 20 hours of daylight. Pack a picnic and walk to Edeboviken for evening swims in the Baltic, where the water warms to comfortable temperatures by July. Autumn transforms the surrounding forests into tapestries of gold and crimson, perfect for foraging mushrooms and lingonberries. Winter invites cross-country skiing through silent woodlands, followed by sauna sessions and the magic of northern lights dancing overhead during the darkest months. Spring arrives with a rush as ice breaks and migratory birds return, filling the archipelago with life. The nearby village of Herräng, just eight kilometers away, pulses with unexpected international energy each summer when it hosts the world's largest swing dance camp, drawing dancers from across the globe. The marina here provides boat access to archipelago gems like Grisslehamn, where ferries connect to Åland, and Singö, known for sheltered anchorages. Local restaurants serve Baltic herring, freshly smoked salmon, and Swedish classics that taste better after a day on the water. For daily needs, Hallstavik sits six kilometers away with supermarkets, cafes, liquor store, and both indoor and outdoor swimming facilities. This working-class town provides authentic Swedish small-town life without tourist crowds, where bakeries sell cardamom buns and hardware stores stock everything needed for property maintenance. Stockholm Arlanda Airport lies approximately 90 minutes by car, making this accessible for weekend escapes and extended summer stays. Bus connections from the property reach Stockholm central in under two hours, allowing car-free visits when desired. The Swedish property market offers stability for international buyers, with straightforward purchasing processes and no restrictions on EU citizens owning vacation homes. Properties in Roslagen typically attract Swedish families seeking archipelago access without premium island prices, creating steady rental demand during peak summer months. This home arrives in good condition, ready for immediate enjoyment without major renovation projects. The insulated guest houses extend your season beyond summer, accommodating visitors during spring wildflower weeks or autumn harvest time. Original features like functioning fireplaces and preserved woodwork provide character that would cost significantly to recreate. The south-facing garden plot maximizes sunlight exposure, crucial at this northern latitude where every sunny hour counts. Mature fruit trees and berry bushes offer seasonal harvests, while open lawn areas invite outdoor dining, games, and simple summer laziness. Forest edges attract wildlife including deer, foxes, and the occasional moose, creating daily encounters with Swedish nature. Managing a Swedish vacation property from abroad proves straightforward, with local caretakers available for seasonal opening, closing, and maintenance checks. Winter heating costs remain moderate thanks to efficient wood heating supplemented by electric options. Property taxes in rural Sweden stay reasonable compared to coastal hotspots, typically running under 1,000 euros annually for properties in this price range. Rental potential exists primarily during June through August when Swedish families seek archipelago access and international visitors explore Scandinavia. Weekly rentals during dance camp season command premium rates, while shoulder seasons attract autumn leaf-peepers and spring birdwatchers. Conservative estimates suggest covering annual costs through 8-10 weeks of summer rentals. Key features include: Two bedrooms with traditional beadboard detailing and exposed beams. Open-plan living and kitchen with wood-burning stove and solid wooden floors. 21-square-meter insulated guest cottage for extended family or rental income.
