Coastal Retreat: Year-Round 2-Bedroom House with Sea Views in Obbola, Sweden

You wake up to the sound of birdsong drifting through the window, the smell of pine and lake water on the morning air. Through the kitchen glass, the garden stretches out in a wash of green — old fruit trees, a flat lawn still wet with dew, and somewhere beyond the tree line, Bodatorpsträsket glinting in the early light. This is a Tuesday in July at Bodatorpsvägen 14. And it's yours. This three-bedroom summer house in Djurhamn, on the island of Djurö in Värmdö municipality, sits on a generous 2,793 square metre plot in the Bodatorp area — one of the most sought-after pockets of the Stockholm archipelago for Swedish families and international buyers alike. The property is in good condition, ready to use from day one, and carries that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in rather than staged. Every corner has a story: the covered terrace where evenings tend to stretch long, the wood-burning stove that makes October here not just bearable but actually cosy, the great room that somehow fits everyone when the whole family descends in August. The main house is 55 square metres of practical, warm living space — compact enough to run easily, large enough for real comfort. There's a kitchen with a proper dining area where long lunches happen naturally, a bedroom tucked away for quiet, a separate toilet with an incineration toilet, and a shower room with a shower cabin. The wood stove in the great room is not decorative; it's the heart of the space, doing real work on those shoulder-season weekends when midsummer has passed but nobody wants to stop coming up. The covered terrace off the main house is where the day tends to begin and end — coffee in the morning light, wine as the sun drops behind the spruce trees. But the ma ... click here to read more

On a still July morning, the smell of salt air drifts through the kitchen window before you've even made coffee. The Swedish west coast does that — pulls you outside before you're ready. From Gustav Bäcks väg, it's a ten-minute walk down to Eriksbergs beach, where the water is clear enough to see your feet and the only sound is the occasional creak of a sailboat. This is what you bought it for. Built in 2023, this compact year-round house in Bokenäs sits on 631 square metres of manageable garden, a short drive from the Bohuslän coastline that artists and writers have been quietly obsessing over for a century. At 45 square metres, it's not trying to be something it isn't — it's a proper escape, designed to be easy. One bedroom, one bathroom, an open-plan living and kitchen area that catches the afternoon light, and a loft upstairs that fits a double bed with room to spare. The layout means two people can genuinely live here without stepping on each other, and a third or fourth can sleep comfortably when you want company. The patio deserves a mention early, because you'll spend a lot of your time there. Long Swedish summer evenings — and they are genuinely long, light until eleven or later — make outdoor dining less of a nice-to-have and more of a daily ritual. The garden itself is low on demands. Mow it, water the odd plant, done. If you've had a holiday home in France or Italy and spent half the visit managing the grounds, you'll appreciate this. Bokenäs is one of those places that regulars are slightly reluctant to talk about too loudly. The peninsula sits between the Gullmarn fjord to the north and the open coastline further south, and the result is a patchwork of inlets, rocky outcrops, sea pines, and small boat ha ... click here to read more

On a quiet morning in early June, you step outside your back door at Björnmossevägen 60 with a coffee in hand. The garden stretches out ahead of you — a full 2,560 square meters of it — and somewhere beyond the treeline, maybe 300 meters off, you can hear the faint splash of a swimmer at one of the nearby lakes. The air smells of pine resin and wet grass. Stockholm feels like a world away, even though it's only about 35 kilometers north. That's Brottby. That's what draws people here. Tucked into the Garns-Ekskogen forest landscape within Vallentuna municipality, this two-bedroom house sits on a generous private plot that gives you something increasingly rare around the Swedish capital: genuine space, genuine quiet, and genuine proximity to nature that isn't manicured or managed into blandness. Built in 2018, the house covers 82 square meters with a clean, light-filled interior that needs nothing done to it. Move in, hang your coat, and start living. The layout makes sense for the way people actually use a second home or holiday base. The main living area runs open between the lounge and dining space, with oversized windows pulling in the kind of northern light that makes everything look slightly better than it is. The kitchen is modern and properly equipped — not the hollow showroom kind, but the kind where you can actually cook a Sunday elk stew after a long autumn hike. Two bedrooms give you flexibility: one for sleeping, one for a bunk room for kids, or a proper home office if you're splitting time between Stockholm work and forest-life weekends. The bathroom is contemporary, finished well, and does exactly what it needs to. Outside is where this property earns its price tag. The 2,560-square-meter plot is the rea ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first. Pine resin warming in the morning sun, damp earth from the night's dew, and somewhere just beyond the treeline, the faint mineral coolness of the lake. You haven't even stepped off the veranda yet, and already the week ahead feels completely different from the one you just left behind. This is Vallsänge 6468 — a freshly built A-frame tucked into a 1,532-square-metre woodland plot in Kilafors, a quiet corner of Gävleborg County in central Sweden. The house went up in 2024. Everything inside is untouched, unscuffed, built for a first owner who wants to walk in and simply live, not renovate. Bergviken lake is a hundred metres away. That's not marketing shorthand for a distant glimmer on the horizon — it's genuinely a two-minute walk through the pines. On summer mornings you can be in the water before your coffee has cooled. The lake is calm and clean, the kind that turns gold-pink around nine in the evening when the Swedish summer light does that thing it does, low and endless, making everything look slightly unreal. The A-frame form isn't just a style choice. The steep-pitched roof handles heavy snow loads without a second thought, and the tall triangular windows that define the front facade pull light deep into the living space throughout the year — not just in July, when Sweden barely gets dark, but also in February, when every photon counts. The open-plan kitchen and living area feel larger than 40 square metres should allow. Good spatial planning does that. There's an additional 7 square metres of secondary space — useful for gear, a sleeping nook, or the kind of overflow storage that a holiday home always eventually needs. Outside, the stone fireplace is the centrepiece of the plot's soci ... click here to read more

Step onto the terrace on a Saturday morning in July and you'll hear it before you see it — the faint splash and laughter carrying over from the Fasalt pool area, just a short walk through the trees. The coffee in your hand is still steaming. The forest at the edge of the garden is absolutely still. This is what a Swedish summer actually feels like, and Ljungeldsvägen 18 puts you right in the middle of it. This three-bedroom cottage sits on a 790-square-metre natural plot in Fasalt, a quiet pocket of northwestern Skåne that most international buyers haven't yet discovered. At 65 square metres, the house is compact by design — every room has a purpose, nothing feels wasted, and the layout draws you naturally from inside to outside rather than keeping you anchored to a sofa. That's rare, and it matters when you're here to actually live, not just stay. The interior was fully renovated over roughly eight years, finishing in recent times, and the work was done with a clear eye for what made the original 1970s bones worth preserving. The kitchen is the first thing that catches you — classic checkered floor tiles in black and white, cabinetry that nods to the era without tipping into kitsch, and enough counter space to actually cook a proper meal after a day on the trails. Swedes take their outdoor kitchens and harvest tables seriously, and this kitchen has the spirit of both. The wood-burning stove in the open-plan living and dining area is the kind of fixture that changes how you use a space. On a grey October evening when the birches outside have gone amber and the temperature drops sharply, you'll light it and not think twice about spending the whole night indoors. The large windows facing the terrace pull double duty: th ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January evening, lid off the spa, steam rising against the dark Swedish sky, and you'll immediately understand why properties like this one at Glindran Solliden are so hard to let go of. The cold bites your cheeks while the water holds you warm, and somewhere beyond the treeline, nothing moves. Complete quiet. This is the Swedish countryside at its most honest. Built in 1952 and sitting on a 4,121-square-metre plot just outside Björkvik in Katrineholms kommun, the house has the kind of solidity you don't often find in newer builds. Thick walls, thoughtful updates, and a layout shaped by generations of practical Scandinavian living. At 122 square metres of main living space plus an additional 15 square metres of secondary area, it doesn't feel oversized or unwieldy — it feels exactly right for a family of four, or for a couple who want room to breathe. Walk in through the front door and the first thing that hits you is light. Large windows pull in the southern exposure across the main living areas, and on a clear winter afternoon the low Nordic sun throws long amber rectangles across the timber floor. The fireplace in the living room is open — a proper one, not a decorative insert — and on colder evenings it becomes the gravitational centre of the whole house. The kitchen adjoins the living space without any awkward formality. Oak cabinetry, generous worktop space, and enough storage that someone who genuinely cooks here could do so without compromise. The proportions feel generous but never cavernous. The fully glazed conservatory running off the main ground floor is genuinely one of the property's best features, and not in an abstract sense. In Sweden, shoulder-season living is everything. Mid-May w ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the lake is already glittering through the birch trees, maybe fifty paces from your front door. By the time the coffee is ready, you can hear the water. That's the daily reality at Stensbovägen 21 — a compact, well-kept house on a generous 2,363 square metre plot in Stensbo, one of those quietly kept corners of Dalarna that locals don't rush to advertise. Built in 1991, the house is 61 square metres of sensible, unfussy living space — two bedrooms, one bathroom, four rooms total — with an extra 10 square metres of secondary space that can absorb whatever life throws at it. A boot room for muddy trails, a workbench for tinkering, a quiet reading corner. The layout is tight without feeling cramped, the kind of floor plan that actually works for two people or a small family rather than looking good on paper and frustrating you in practice. Large windows pull the garden inside, and in the long Nordic summer evenings, the light in here goes golden somewhere around nine o'clock and stays that way for a while. The plot is the real story. At 2,363 square metres, this is serious outdoor space by any standard — not a manicured suburban garden but a proper, usable piece of ground that rewards investment. Raised vegetable beds, a fire pit area, apple trees, room for a greenhouse. Or none of those things — just space and silence and the smell of grass after rain. Two outbuildings come with the property: a traditional Swedish härbre (a historic log storage building that is frankly one of the most atmospheric structures you'll find on a residential plot anywhere) and a guest cottage that gives visiting family or friends their own front door and their own privacy. That last detail matters more than p ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a Tuesday morning in July, coffee in hand, and the only sounds reaching you are birdsong and the distant knock of a wooden hull against a dock. That's Matrosvägen 8. It sits at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac, three kilometres south of Grisslehamn village, on a natural plot that feels far wilder and more private than 2,727 square metres should feel. This is a proper Swedish coastal property — year-round insulated, intelligently laid out, and set up for a lifestyle that moves between the pool, the sea, and the archipelago in easy, unhurried steps. The main house runs to 80 square metres, and it earns every one of them. The living room centres on a wood-burning stove that pulls the whole room together — on October evenings when the birch trees outside have gone amber and the temperature drops fast, this becomes the most important piece of furniture in the house. Large windows look out directly onto the garden, and in spring, when the wild cherries flower along the boundary, the view through that glass is genuinely something to stop and look at. The kitchen is generous enough to seat people around a table while something is cooking — a proper sociable kitchen, not a galley you have to take turns standing in. The bedroom is calm and well-proportioned, and the tiled bathroom with shower and WC is clean, modern, and functional. Nothing overcomplicated. The whole house is designed to be easy. What makes this property genuinely unusual for the area is the garden setup. In the middle of the plot sits a large insulated swimming pool with a retractable roof. In practice, this means you're swimming in May and still swimming in September, which in the Stockholm archipelago is not something to take ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the ice on Storsjön stretches further than you can see, perfectly groomed, with the faint scrape of skate blades drifting up from the plowed track that runs just 100 meters from your front door. In summer, that same shoreline smells of warm pine resin and lake water, and your private boat is already tied up at the berth, ready to go. This is Ångersnäsvägen 30 in Årsunda — a 2020-built year-round house in Sandvikens kommun that genuinely earns the word "practical" without ever feeling dull. Built four years ago to current Swedish energy standards, the 74-square-meter main house is single-level, which matters more than people expect. No stairs to navigate after a long ski day, no awkward layout to work around when you're hosting family for midsummer. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space flows naturally, and the large windows pull in so much Nordic light during summer that the interior almost glows. On a grey November afternoon, that same layout means a single source of warmth fills the whole space quickly and evenly — a small but real advantage in this climate. The kitchen is fully fitted with modern appliances and enough counter space to actually cook in, not just reheat things. The dining area handles a proper table for six without crowding anyone. Two bedrooms, proportioned sensibly — one for a double bed with room to spare, one flexible enough to swap between guest room, kids' room, or a quiet place to work when the rest of the house is busy. The bathroom has been finished with clean, contemporary fixtures and practical storage. Nothing over-engineered, just a house that works. What makes this property a genuinely interesting purchase is the guest cottage sitting sepa ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning in Hallstavik and the air smells like warm pine resin and wet grass. The forest starts just beyond the wooden fence. Coffee in hand, you sit on the deck and watch a thrush work its way through the raised beds. This is not a fantasy—this is a Tuesday. Sandgropsvägen 26 is a red-painted Swedish cottage from 1887 sitting on a 1,860-square-metre plot that has been shaped, planted, and cared for over many years into something genuinely worth seeing. The garden alone would justify the visit. Gravel paths thread between fruit trees, mature perennials, and raised planting beds that produce through late spring all the way into October. There's a small greenhouse where you can start seedlings in March while snow is still piled against the fence outside. A guest cottage sits separately on the plot—useful whether you have friends coming for midsommar or you need a quiet room away from everything to read, paint, or work. Inside the main house, the kitchen sets the tone immediately. Open shelving, beadboard paneling, natural light coming through small windows at an angle that makes the whole room feel like it belongs to a different century—in the best way. Nothing is showy. The materials are honest and the proportions are right. You can cook a proper meal here: Swedish classics like raggmunk with lingonberries or a slow-simmered fish soup made from whatever the local fishermen brought into Grisslehamn that morning. The living room next to it is quiet and warm, the kind of room where you sit down intending to read for twenty minutes and look up two hours later. Soft colors, natural textures, windows facing the garden. Upstairs is more compact but well thought out. A newer bathroom handles the practical ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and walk 300 meters through the trees in your bathrobe. That's how close Lake Kolmaren is. The water is clear, the dock is quiet, and you're back at the kitchen table with coffee before anyone else in the house has stirred. This is the kind of thing that happens when you own a place on Boängsvägen in Spillersboda — and it happens every single day you're here. The house sits at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Frötuna-Spillersboda area of Norrtälje municipality, roughly an hour north of Stockholm by car or SL bus. It borders a public green area on one side, which means no future neighbor crowding in. The plot runs to 2,262 square meters — a generous spread by any measure — and it moves through the property in layers: a southwest-facing terrace catching afternoon sun, flat grass wide enough for a proper game of kubb or badminton, then rocky outcrops that push up through the ground and form natural sheltered spots where you can sit with a book without anyone finding you. The apple trees are old and reliable. Currant bushes produce more than any one family can eat. In August, you'll find wild blueberries and lingonberries along the forest edge without walking more than a few minutes. Come September, the same forest throws up kantareller — chanterelles — in quantities that make you wish you'd brought a bigger basket. Lilacs bloom hard in May and fill the downstairs rooms with scent when you leave the windows open. Inside, the house is 64 square meters across three bedrooms, which is compact but genuinely well-used. The living room has a soapstone wood-burning stove — not a decorative one, a real working heat source that makes late-October weekends here entirely viable. Large windows look out ov ... click here to read more

Step out onto the deck at Söderstig 3 on a July morning and the Gulf of Bothnia is barely a two-minute walk away. The air carries that particular mix of pine resin and salt water that you only get along this stretch of the Gävleborg coast. The soapstone stove inside still holds a little warmth from the evening before. This is what owning a holiday home in Axmar actually feels like — unhurried, deeply restorative, and about as far from city noise as you need it to be. Axmar sits on the Hälsingland coastline, roughly 40 kilometres north of Gävle and about a 2.5-hour drive from Stockholm. It is not the kind of place that shows up on tourist maps, and the people who live here — both year-round and seasonally — tend to like it that way. The village has developed quietly around its harbour, its community association, and the kind of neighbourly traditions that are increasingly rare. Midsommar here is the real thing: a maypole goes up near the marina, someone brings out a speaker, and the long Nordic evening stretches past midnight with no one particularly in a hurry to go anywhere. The house itself sits on a 1,520-square-metre plot on Söderstig, a quiet residential road lined with similar summer properties and year-round homes. The building has been methodically updated over recent years — new roof, new windows, a new front door and patio door, and an air-source heat pump that keeps running costs manageable in the colder months. None of these are flashy improvements, but they are exactly the kind that matter: the ones that mean you arrive in May and everything just works. Inside, the ground floor runs as an open plan from kitchen to living room, which gives the 75-square-metre main house a sense of space that the floor area ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the air already smells like warm pine and cut grass. The Enviken community pool is a five-minute walk away, someone is dragging a kayak toward Vaxtunasjön down the road, and the Baltic is close enough that you can be on the water before the day heats up properly. This is Galoppbacken 4 — a solid, move-in ready holiday home in Bergshamra that gives you all of that, plus a 1,425-square-metre garden, a guest cottage, and a hot tub on the patio for when the sun finally goes down. Bergshamra sits in the heart of Norrtälje municipality, the great coastal retreat for Stockholmers who want archipelago access without giving up convenience. That matters for buyers thinking about rental income or resale: demand for holiday homes within 90 minutes of Stockholm has stayed remarkably firm, and this corner of Roslagen — the name locals use for the string of coastal parishes north of the capital — is especially popular because it combines genuine waterfront access with year-round infrastructure. The SL bus to Norrtälje town runs from a stop you can walk to in minutes, and from Norrtälje it's a direct ride into Stockholm. Practical, and that's the point. The house itself was built in 1978 and covers 58 square metres — compact, but thought through. The living room anchors the ground floor, and in winter the fireplace does exactly what a fireplace should do: it makes you want to stay inside with a book. There's also an air-source heat pump installed, so heating costs are reasonable even through January and February when Norrtälje can drop well below zero for weeks at a stretch. A covered terrace opens directly off the living room, and that covered part is key — Swedish summers are brill ... click here to read more

The wood-burning stove is already crackling when you wake up on a Saturday morning in October, and through the big living room windows you can see frost on the grass and mist sitting low over the pines. By 9am you're pulling on boots and walking the 550 metres down to the dock at Korgil, thermos in hand, watching a grey heron stand absolutely still at the water's edge. This is what a second home in the Swedish archipelago actually feels like — unhurried, raw, and genuinely restorative in a way that a week in a hotel never manages to be. Mörtvägen 2 sits on a generous 2,353 square metre plot in Korgil, a quiet pocket of Norrtälje municipality roughly 90 kilometres north of Stockholm. Herräng itself is the kind of place most Swedes know mainly because of the Herräng Dance Camp — a legendary annual swing dance festival that transforms this sleepy coastal village every July into something quietly electric. The rest of the year, it belongs to the locals, the summer regulars, and anyone sharp enough to have bought a place here before word got out. The house dates from 1967 and measures 54 square metres — compact, yes, but the layout earns every centimetre. Two bedrooms. A living room anchored by that wood-burning stove. A kitchen big enough to actually cook in, not just heat things up. Large windows pull the garden and the treeline inside, and the open connection between kitchen, dining area, and living room means a household of four or five people can move around each other without friction. On summer evenings the whole ground floor flows out onto the wide wooden deck, where there's room for a proper outdoor table, a gas grill, and still space left over to stretch out on a sun lounger and do absolutely nothing. The guest h ... click here to read more

On a quiet Tuesday morning in late June, you crack open the kitchen window at Gårdsvägen 2 and catch the faint salt smell rolling in off the Kattegat. The robotic mower is already doing its rounds across the grass. You've got nowhere to be until you feel like it. That's the whole point. Skummeslövsstrand sits on the Halland coast of southwestern Sweden, roughly halfway between Halmstad and Båstad — two towns that between them cover every practical need you'll ever have, from IKEA runs to Michelin-starred dinners. But the strand itself is a different pace entirely. A tight-knit summer community that swells with Swedish families every July, then exhales into a quieter, genuinely peaceful neighbourhood the rest of the year. The kind of place where you recognise faces at the local pizzeria on Strandvägen before the end of your first week. The house on Gårdsvägen dates to 1957 and carries just enough of that era — the compact, considered proportions of post-war Swedish construction — without feeling dated. It's been properly updated: new bathroom, fresh interior surfaces throughout, and a modern heat pump installed that handles both heating and cooling efficiently. This isn't a project property. You can arrive with luggage and start living. The winterisation work done here means the house holds warmth through a February coastal storm without fuss, which matters if you're thinking about long weekends in the off-season or using it as a genuine second home across all four seasons. Sixty square metres sounds modest on paper, and it is — but the layout earns every centimetre. The living area and kitchen work as a single open space, and the two bedrooms sit quietly toward the back. Large windows pull in the Swedish summer light ... click here to read more

Picture a Saturday morning in late June. The Swedish sun has been up since four, and by the time you pull on your jacket and step onto the wrap-around terrace with a mug of coffee, the birch forest at the edge of the garden is already doing that thing it does in Södermanland summers — throwing long gold light through the leaves while the air smells faintly of pine resin and damp earth. Lake Långhalsen is a four-minute walk down the path. Nobody else is awake yet. This is Utterspåret 11. It's a compact, honest house — 57 square meters built in 1979, maintained with genuine care, and set on a 1,620 square meter plot that gives you the kind of breathing room that's increasingly hard to find at this price point in Sweden. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen that works, and a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove that you'll use far more than you expect once October settles over Nyköping and the lake mist starts rolling in each morning. The stove isn't decorative. Come winter, it's the heart of the house. The terrace wraps the exterior and has both open and covered sections — a deliberate design that Swedes know well. You want sun in May when the temperature is still erratic. You want shade in July when it isn't. You want cover in August when the afternoon rain passes through. The terrace handles all of it, and it's large enough for a proper outdoor table, a couple of sun loungers, and whatever outdoor project you get absorbed in over a long weekend. The plot itself borders forest on one side, with no immediate neighbours on that flank. The garden is flat, open, and generous — room for a vegetable patch, a trampoline, a fire pit, a hammock between the birches. The side building currently runs as a small workshop a ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late September, the birch trees along Kantarellvägen have gone full gold, and you're sitting on a wide timber terrace with a mug of coffee watching mist lift off Nedingen lake. No traffic noise. Just the faint knock of a rowboat against a dock somewhere down the hill, and the occasional rustle of something moving through the undergrowth at the edge of your 1,958-square-meter garden. This is the rhythm of life at Fornbo Kantarellvägen 58 — and it's about 100 kilometers from Stockholm's Centralen station. The house sits on a peninsula that juts into Nedingen, one of the cleaner and quieter lakes in Södermanland, within the well-established Fornbo recreational community. It was built in 1980 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — this isn't a project property requiring gut renovation before you can enjoy a single weekend. The structure is solid, the winterization means you can use it from January ice to December snow, and municipal water and sewage connections spare you the headaches that come with private wells and septic systems on older Swedish holiday properties. Move in, turn the key, light the fire. That fireplace deserves a moment. The living room has large windows that face toward the water, and on evenings when the temperature drops, the fireplace does real work — not decorative work, but actual warmth-producing work that makes the room feel like somewhere you'd genuinely want to spend three hours after a day of hiking. The living area flows naturally, 65 square meters used efficiently without feeling cramped, and the kitchen is practical and well-equipped for the kind of cooking that happens at a lake house: big pots of elk stew, fresh-caught perch fried in butte ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Pålviksvägen 28 is the quiet. Not the dead quiet of an empty place, but the alive kind — pine resin warming in the sun, a woodpecker working somewhere deeper in the trees, the faint glitter of the Baltic just visible through the spruce. Three hundred meters to the water, and not a single car passing your door. That's the daily reality of this year-round holiday home in Harkskär, on the southern edge of Gävle's extraordinary archipelago. Sweden's High Coast gets most of the international press, but the Gästrikland shoreline around Utvalnäs and Harkskär has been the quiet obsession of Stockholm weekenders for generations. Good reason. The archipelago here is gentler than the rugged north — low granite skerries, calm sheltered inlets, water that warms enough by July for actual swimming rather than just the intention of it. The local Gammel Annabadet is a proper old-fashioned bathing spot, with wooden jetties and the kind of unpretentious summer-Sweden energy that's increasingly hard to find closer to the capital. The property itself sits at the end of Pålviksvägen — literally the last address on a no-through road — on a southwest-facing plot of roughly 2,383 square meters. That size matters. It means genuine privacy from neighbors, a proper mix of maintained lawn and natural forest that you walk through rather than just look at, and terraces that catch the evening light until surprisingly late in a Nordic summer. June evenings here, the sun barely touches the treeline before 10pm. You can sit on the main deck with a glass of something cold and watch the light do things to the forest that don't happen anywhere south of the 60th parallel. The main house was built in 1964 an ... click here to read more
