Picture yourself stepping onto your private terrace as the morning sun illuminates the snow-draped peaks of Storhögna, steam rising from your coffee mug in the crisp mountain air. Below, ski slopes beckon just 50 meters from your door, while behind you, warmth radiates from the fireplace inside your contemporary mountain retreat. This is the reality awaiting at Domherrevägen 2, where modern Scandinavian living meets direct access to Sweden's most authentic alpine experiences.
Built in 2021 on an expansive 1,145 square meter corner plot, this 107 square meter mountain house represents the rare convergence of location, design, and year-round adventure. The property occupies one of Storhögna's most coveted positions, offering unobstructed panoramas across the ski terrain while providing immediate trail access for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and hiking. For international buyers seeking a true four-season vacation home in Scandinavia, this residence delivers both the infrastructure and positioning that transform occasional visits into a lifestyle.
Storhögna itself remains one of Sweden's best-kept secrets among European ski destinations. Located in Bergs kommun within the Jämtland region, this mountain village sits approximately 550 kilometers northwest of Stockholm and 90 kilometers from Östersund Airport, making it accessible yet refreshingly uncrowded compared to Alpine resorts. The area receives consistent snowfall from November through April, with average winter temperatures between minus 5 and minus 15 degrees Celsius creating perfect powder conditions. Summer transforms the landscape into a hiking paradise, with temperatures ranging from 15 to 22 degrees Celsius and near-endless daylight during June and July.
The home's architectural approach reflects contemporary Scandinavian principles: clean lines, natural materials, and intelligent space utilization. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-plan living areas with Nordic light, while exposed timber elements and the central fireplace create tactile warmth. The kitchen, anchored by a functional island, features integrated appliances and ample counter space for preparing traditional Swedish fika or elaborate dinners after days on the slopes. Ceiling heights throughout the main living spaces enhance the sense of volume, making the 107 square meters feel considerably more expansive.
Four bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for families or multiple couples, while a loft area offers additional sleeping space or can serve as a reading nook, yoga studio, or children's play area. Electric curtains in each bedroom allow for effortless light control, essential during summer's midnight sun or when sleeping in after late-night aurora viewing sessions. The single bathroom compensates for its singularity with thoughtful design: a private sauna provides the quintessential Swedish relaxation experience, while integrated laundry facilities mean extended stays require minimal packing. Direct terrace access from the bathroom creates an exhilarating ritual of post-sauna cooling in fresh mountain air.
Technology integration throughout the property reflects practical consideration for international ownership. The Plejd lighting system enables smartphone control of all fixtures, meaning you can illuminate the house before arrival or create security lighting patterns during absences. Yale Doorman electronic locks allow remote access management, invaluable when coordinating with rental guests, property managers, or service providers from abroad. The Verisure alarm system with cameras provides real-time monitoring and notifications, offering peace of mind whether you're in London, Berlin, or anywhere else between visits.
Outdoor infrastructure matches the home's adventure-focused positioning. The expansive terrace wraps around the southern exposure, capturing maximum sunlight for outdoor dining from April through September. The plot's corner position ensures privacy while providing direct snowmobile trail access, a significant advantage in an area where these machines serve as both recreation and practical winter transport. A dedicated snowmobile garage protects equipment from the elements, while a separate ski storage room keeps gear organized and accessible. The standard garage accommodates vehicles, and an installed electric car charger future-proofs the property as EV adoption accelerates across Scandinavia.
Storhögna's appeal extends well beyond the property boundaries. Winter activities dominate from December through April, with the Storhögna ski area offering family-friendly slopes literally visible from your windows. More advanced skiers access the larger Klövsjö ski system via the nearby M-huset transport lift, expanding terrain options significantly. Cross-country ski trails network throughout the region, with groomed tracks suitable for both classic and skate skiing. Snowmobiling culture thrives here, with marked trails connecting to neighboring villages and wilderness areas. Ice fishing, snowshoeing, and dog sledding provide additional winter pursuits.
Summer recreation focuses on hiking and nature immersion. The famous Fallmoran waterfall lies within easy reach, its 43-meter cascade creating one of Sweden's most photogenic natural attractions. Mountain trails range from gentle forest walks to challenging peak ascents, many offering berry picking opportunities in late summer. Mountain biking trails accommodate various skill levels, while several mountain lakes provide swimming, fishing, and canoeing. The midnight sun phenomenon during June and July means outdoor activities can extend well into the evening, with twilight lasting most of the night.
Local infrastructure supports comfortable vacation home ownership. Storhögna Högfjällshotell provides dining options, spa services, and social gathering spaces when you prefer not to cook. Several smaller restaurants and cafés operate seasonally, many emphasizing local game meats, wild fish, and foraged ingredients. A small grocery store covers basic provisions, while larger supermarkets in nearby towns (approximately 20 kilometers) stock comprehensive supplies. The community maintains a welcoming atmosphere, with many property owners splitting time between permanent residences elsewhere and extended mountain stays.
For international buyers, Swedish property ownership follows straightforward processes. Non-EU citizens require approval from the Swedish Land Registration Authority, typically a formality for vacation properties in non-restricted areas. Property taxes remain modest compared to many European nations, currently calculated on assessed values significantly below market prices. Swedish inheritance laws differ from many countries, making proper estate planning advisable for international owners. The property's 2021 construction date means modern building standards and energy efficiency, with lower ongoing maintenance requirements than older mountain homes.
Rental potential deserves serious consideration for buyers seeking income offset. Storhögna's proximity to ski slopes and year-round activities creates strong demand for short-term vacation rentals. Peak winter weeks (Christmas, New Year, February school holidays) command premium rates, while summer hiking season provides secondary income opportunities. Swedish rental management companies handle everything from marketing to cleaning, essential for international owners. Conservative estimates suggest 8-12 weeks annual rental could cover annual operating costs, though success depends on marketing, pricing, and property presentation.
The included furniture package represents significant value, allowing immediate use without the logistics of furnishing from abroad. Moving into a fully equipped mountain home means your first visit focuses on exploration and enjoyment rather than shopping trips and assembly instructions. The existing aesthetic balances contemporary style with mountain practicality, appealing to rental guests while remaining personal enough for owner use.
