Description
A country home for sale in Gävleborg, built in 2017 and fully off-grid, with a wood-fired sauna right on Gullbergsbotjärn lake. The house stands about nine kilometres along gravel forest roads from Viksjöfors, in Ovanåker municipality, and the closest neighbour is the water. It is small at 50 m², but it runs all year, is self-sufficient in electricity and already operates as a holiday rental for guests from abroad. A snowmobile, an off-road vehicle and a rowboat are included.
A Country Home in Gävleborg with Its Own Lake Sauna
Most off-grid cabins ask you to give something up. This one asks for less. The main house has two rooms and a kitchen, one bedroom and one bathroom, plus a modern shower, hot water, heating and high-speed internet. The seller describes the electricity supply as self-sufficient in all weather. At a viewing, ask how it is generated and what it covers in a dark January week.
The plot is 1,648 m² with a garden and a spacious terrace. The house dates from 2017 and is in good condition, so the work is looking after it, not fixing it up.
Sauna, Hot Tub and Jetty on Gullbergsbotjärn
The lake is the reason to buy here. A separate wood-fired sauna stands directly on the water, and a private bathing jetty has room for a rowboat. Swim in summer, row out to fish, or do what Swedes do and go from sauna to lake and back. A wood-fired hot tub adds slow evenings under the stars.
Wood-fired means work: fetching logs, lighting early, clearing ash. That ritual is part of the appeal, but owners should be ready for it.
Rental Business and What Is Included
The listing describes an established rental business with guests from around the world. For a second home in Sweden, that changes the maths: the house can earn while you are away, and you can keep weeks for yourself. Ask for booking history, seasonal occupancy, reviews and accounts, and confirm what transfers with the sale.
All movable property on the premises is included, among it the snowmobile, off-road vehicle and rowboat. They make sense this far into the forest.
Living Near Viksjöfors and Edsbyn
Viksjöfors is a small village in Ovanåker, in the province of Hälsingland. Edsbyn, the municipality's main town, has the shops and services, and is known across Sweden for bandy. Bollnäs is the larger town in the wider area. Hälsingland is also famous for its painted timber farmhouses, several on the UNESCO World Heritage list, a good outing for a wet afternoon.
Around the house the forest provides the entertainment: hiking, foraging, wildlife and several fishing waters nearby. Autumn brings colour, winter brings snow and silence. As a holiday home in Hälsingland, it suits people who like each season to feel different.
Stockholm Arlanda is the nearest major international airport, roughly three hours by car or a little more. Plan on a hire car, because the last nine kilometres are gravel.
Buying a Second Home in Sweden
Foreign buyers can generally purchase property in Sweden without a residency requirement, and most sales go through a local estate agent. Take advice from a Swedish lawyer on the contract and on how rental income is taxed.
