Description
Picture waking up on a frost-sharp October morning, the tiled stove already ticking with warmth, steam rising from a mug of coffee as you look out through the glazed conservatory at the still water of the Ljungan River catching the first pale Scandinavian light. The horses are already at the fence. This is not a weekend fantasy — it is a Tuesday in Nedansjö, and it can be yours.
Hemgraven 128 sits in the Ljungan valley about 25 minutes west of Sundsvall, in a corner of central Sweden that most international buyers haven't discovered yet — which is precisely why it matters. The property is large, genuinely versatile, and soaked in the kind of regional history that no developer can manufacture. It started life as the steward's house on the estate built by industrialist Bünsow in the late 19th century, the same man who financed the railway between Sundsvall and Torpshammar, established an ironworks and a pulp mill at Hemgraven, and essentially built an entire self-sustaining community from scratch, complete with shops, workers' housing, and even a toy factory. The area was enclosed — outsiders had to ask permission to enter. Today that same sense of a world unto itself is what makes the property so compelling.
At 146 square metres, the main house gives you five rooms and a kitchen arranged with the practical logic that Swedish country homes developed over generations. Two classic tiled stoves — kakelugnar, if you want the Swedish word — anchor the principal rooms. They work. They radiate a dry, even heat that a radiator simply cannot replicate, and they look the way old things should look: solid, slightly imposing, quietly beautiful. The geothermal heat pump handles the bulk of winter heating with minimal running costs, so the tiled stoves are a pleasure rather than a necessity. Broadband fibre and municipal water and sewage mean you won't be compromising on infrastructure despite the rural setting. The partially glazed conservatory adds a room that changes character with the seasons — bright and green-scented in June, golden and amber-lit in September, a frost-framed reading nook by January.
Head downstairs and you find the sauna. This is Sweden. The sauna is not optional and it is not decorative — after a day of fence-checking, stable work, or cross-country skiing along the trails the Nedansjö Sports Club maintains through the surrounding forest, the sauna is the punctuation mark that ends the day properly.
The equestrian infrastructure here is the real headline. Five outdoor stables open onto roughly three hectares of fenced pastureland divided and equipped with two covered feeding stations and wind shelters. The tack room has direct stable access. The layout has been thought through by people who actually keep horses, not by estate agents who have read about it. If you're running horses currently or planning to — whether for private enjoyment, breeding, or small-scale livery — this setup functions from day one.
Beyond the main residence, the estate includes a separate guest cottage and a guest house with an integrated garage. That is three distinct residential units on one plot, which opens up options that a single-dwelling property simply doesn't offer. Multi-generational families can spread out without stepping on each other. International buyers looking at rental income will see two guest units that can be let independently while the main house remains in personal use. The local holiday rental market around Sundsvall is active year-round given the city's size and the area's outdoor draw, so that income potential is realistic rather than theoretical.
The grounds themselves reward time spent in them across every season. The open grassy areas give way to berry bushes — lingonberry and blueberry grow wild on the edges — and fruit trees that were old when the estate was young. A tractor garage, a main garage, and additional storage buildings mean that equipment actually has somewhere to live, which anyone who has owned a country property in Scandinavia will tell you is not a small thing.
Nedansjö village is walking distance away and more active than its size suggests. The Nedansjö Grill is a local institution. There's a microbrewery. The heritage association runs events through the summer that draw people from across Medelpad — the historical province that Sundsvall anchors. The preschool in the village is a practical detail that matters for families with young children. And for guests or owners who fancy a slightly different kind of exploration, local divers return seasonally to the submerged remains of the old Bünsow settlement that went underwater when the Skallböle power plant dammed the Ljungan River — one of the stranger and more genuinely fascinating pieces of local history you'll find anywhere in central Sweden.
Sundsvall itself, 25 minutes east, is a proper city with a population of around 100,000. It has everything a regional capital should: good restaurants along the harbour, a functioning airport with connections to Stockholm Arlanda (flights run multiple times daily), and a cultural calendar that includes the Gatufestivalen street festival each summer. The E4 motorway passes through, making the drive north toward Härnösand or south toward Uppsala straightforward. In winter, the skiing at Sidsjöbacken on the edge of the city supplements the cross-country network that starts practically from the property's back fence.
For international buyers — whether from Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, or further afield — Sweden's property purchase process is relatively uncomplicated. There is no restriction on foreign ownership of residential property, no notary requirement (unlike much of southern Europe), and the transfer tax, stamp duty, is 1.5% for private buyers. The Swedish krona remains weak against the euro and pound at current rates, making the asking price of SEK 1,995,000 particularly attractive for euro-zone buyers. Legal due diligence is typically handled by the estate agent and a Swedish lawyer, and the process from offer to completion runs efficiently.
As a vacation home in central Sweden, this property sits in a category with almost no direct competition. It is not a summer cabin — it is a fully equipped, year-round residence with professional-grade equestrian facilities, historical character, multiple income-generating units, and a natural setting that shifts from thawed river ice in April to full midnight-green Swedish summer in July to the extraordinary copper-and-red forest light of September. It earns its asking price and then some.
