Welcome to "Anna Stina Torpet," a beautifully modernized country home located at Språxhult 2420, just outside Knäred in the scenic Markaryd municipality. This property is a rare find, offering the tranquility of rural Sweden with the comfort and efficiency of a newly rebuilt home. Originally constructed in 1978, the house has undergone a complete transformation between 2020 and 2023, resulting in a residence where virtually nothing of the old structure remains. The main house offers 67 square meters of living space, complemented by a 14-square-meter insulated guest room in the garage building, making a total of 81 square meters of indoor living area.
The property is designed for year-round living, with excellent insulation, triple-glazed windows in the main house, and double-glazed windows in the guest room and entrance. The facade is clad in wood, and the roof is a new metal construction, ensuring durability and low maintenance. The home is heated by a modern air-source heat pump, which can be controlled remotely, and a highly efficient Termatech wood-burning stove with convection, fresh air intake, and a light sandstone finish. This combination ensures the house is easy to heat and comfortable in all seasons.
Water is supplied from a private, well-maintained well, which has been cleaned and sealed to provide excellent water quality (with a 2024 analysis available). Wastewater is managed by a three-chamber septic system with infiltration, installed in 2017. The property is connected to electricity and features a 3-phase outlet in the garage, suitable for electric vehicle charging or workshop equipment.
The entrance to the home is via a small veranda that leads into an integrated sunroom, finished with laminate flooring, wood paneling, and large windows that frame the stunning views of the surrounding meadows and beech forests. This space can also serve as an extra guest sleeping area if needed. The open-plan living and dining room features parquet flooring, wood-paneled ceilings, and panoramic windows that flood the space with natural light and offer breathtaking views. The air-source heat pump and wood stove are both located here, providing efficient and cozy heating.
The kitchen is well-appointed with parquet flooring, wood-paneled ceilings, ample workspace, plenty of cabinets, a stainless steel sink, electric stove with induction cooktop, extractor fan, microwave, dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer. The bathroom is modern, with waterproof flooring and walls, a shower, toilet, sink, washing machine, mechanical ventilation, electric heating, and a 55-liter water heater. A tumble dryer is available in the garage.
The main bedroom accommodates a double bed and wardrobes, with the same high-quality materials and finishes found throughout the house. Everything is in excellent condition, ready for immediate use as either a holiday retreat or a permanent residence. Some furnishings may be included or purchased by agreement with the sellers.
The property also includes a separate, insulated guesthouse/garage built in 2019, totaling approximately 52 square meters. The guest room is 14 square meters, featuring a double bed, shelving, parquet flooring, wood-paneled walls and ceiling, electric heating, and double-glazed windows. The adjacent storage room (6.5 square meters) could be integrated to create an additional bedroom if desired. The garage section is about 32 square meters, with an automatic door and 3-phase power, ideal for car charging or machinery. There is also a woodshed of about 8 square meters, providing ample space for firewood storage.
The 3,091-square-meter (freehold) garden and natural plot offer complete privacy and seclusion in the forest, with beautiful views over grass meadows and mixed deciduous woodland. The grounds include a berry garden, greenhouse, and a variety of fruit trees. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of birds, deer, elk, and wild boar. A small stream runs just outside the property, and a wildlife trail passes nearby, offering opportunities to observe animals in their natural habitat.
The location is ideal for nature lovers, with the large Rönnö Nature Reserve just 500 meters away and a swimming lake (Össjöasjön) only 3 kilometers from the property. The area is perfect for hiking, cycling, and outdoor activities, with endless opportunities to explore the surrounding forests and meadows. Despite its secluded setting, the property is only about 105 kilometers from Helsingborg, making it accessible for weekend getaways or commuting.
"Anna Stina Torpet" is a unique opportunity to own a modern, energy-efficient home in a peaceful and picturesque rural setting. Whether you are seeking a permanent residence or a high-standard holiday retreat, this property offers comfort, privacy, and a close connection to nature. The combination of a newly rebuilt main house, versatile guesthouse/garage, and expansive, well-tended grounds makes this an exceptional offering in southern Sweden.
