Outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers will appreciate the landscape.

Ljusterö has a welcoming atmosphere where locals and expats alike can find a sense of belonging.

Stand at the edge of the plot on a June morning and the only sounds are birdsong, the distant hum of a tractor somewhere beyond the tree line, and the soft creak of the old barn settling in the warmth. That's Ytternäs in Edsbro — a corner of Uppland that most Swedes know only as a blur of pine forest glimpsed from a car window, but those who stop here tend to stay a long time. Sparrtorpsvägen 26 is not a turnkey property. It's something more interesting than that. Two residential houses, a 1930s barn built from timber that was already old when your grandparents were young, and 3,769 square metres of open Swedish countryside — all sold as a single holding. If you've ever sketched out plans for a small family compound, a weekend retreat that could actually grow into something over the years, or a rural base in Scandinavia that gives you room to breathe and the freedom to build something on your own terms, this is worth a serious look. The second house — the one in usable condition right now — has a room and kitchen on the entry level, both warmed by a wood-burning stove, and a summer room upstairs that catches the long northern light beautifully from around May through September. It's simple. Honestly, very simple. But simplicity up here isn't a deficiency; it's the point. The bones are honest, the proportions are liveable, and a buyer with a clear vision and some patience will find it responsive to careful renovation. The interiors are a blank slate — no ornamental distractions, just space and possibility. The first house is older — likely late 19th or very early 20th century — with three rooms and a kitchen, including a traditional tiled kakelugn on the upper floor that adds real character. The roof has suffered from ... click here to read more

You step off the small motorboat, tie the line to your own dock, and the only sound is water lapping against the hull and a pair of oystercatchers arguing somewhere in the reeds. That's your arrival. Every time. Toharen Island, tucked inside the Gävle archipelago roughly five minutes by boat from the mainland at Sikvik, operates on its own rhythm — and after one summer here, you'll wonder how you ever unwound anywhere else. This is a genuine Swedish island holiday property: compact, honest, and surrounded by more sky and water than most people see in a year. The main cabin sits on a freehold plot of 1,340 square meters, and at 25 square meters it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is — a place to sleep well, eat simply, and spend the rest of your waking hours outside. One bedroom, a living room with large windows that pull the birch canopy and the water's glitter directly into the room, a kitchenette for morning coffee and late-night snacks after a long day on the water. The layout is tight but considered. Nothing wasted. What the numbers don't tell you is the feeling of those windows on a midsummer morning when the light arrives around 3am and fills the room long before you're ready to wake up. Or the way the dock planks warm up fast in June so you can sit with bare feet dangling over the water before breakfast. Summers in Gävle run warm and long — July averages hover around 20°C, and the archipelago catches enough sun to make the swimming genuinely good from late June through August. The water here isn't the glacial shock people expect. It's brackish, calm in the sheltered coves, and by July it reaches temperatures that make you want to stay in. Beyond the main house, the property gives you real flexi ... click here to read more

Main house and garden view

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells like pine resin and salt water. The meadow at the edge of the plot is still damp with dew, a heron stands motionless somewhere beyond the treeline, and the only sound is the soft creak of the conservatory door as it swings open. This is what owning a holiday home in the Sankt Anna archipelago actually feels like—and once you've had it, a city apartment never quite satisfies again. Built in 2009 on a generous corner plot of 2,352 square meters just outside Valdemarsvik in Sweden's Östergötland county, this two-bedroom country home is the kind of place that rewards you differently in every season. The address is Varphagen Ermedal 5, and it sits at the quiet inland edge of one of Scandinavia's most celebrated coastal wilderness areas. Priced at 169,500 EUR, it's a realistic entry point into a corner of Sweden that still feels genuinely unspoiled. The interior is compact but well thought out. At 70 square meters, the house doesn't waste a single square meter. The open-plan living room and kitchen anchors the ground floor with a soaring ceiling that pulls light down from above and makes the space feel far larger than the footprint suggests. A wood-burning stove sits at the center of it all—come September, when the archipelago evenings cool down fast, you'll understand exactly why it was put there. Large glass sections open the living room directly onto the terrace, so in summer the line between inside and outside simply dissolves. You cook with the door open. You eat outside until ten at night because the Swedish summer light won't let the sky go dark. The glazed conservatory is a serious bonus. It adds usable space across almost the full shoulder seasons—May, August, late ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in Sättra By and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not an uncomfortable silence — the kind that actually has texture. Wind moving through birch trees. A woodpecker somewhere in the treeline. The faint crackle of a fire you're about to light in the pizza oven before lunch. This is Roslagen, a stretch of Swedish countryside northeast of Stockholm that Swedes themselves quietly consider one of the most liveable corners of the country. And this three-bedroom country home on Saxenvägen 75 sits right in the middle of it. The property dates to 1965 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — not flipped and photographed, but actually cared for. At 67 square metres, it's compact in the best sense: every room earns its place, nothing is wasted, and the layout flows naturally between the open living and dining area, the functional kitchen, and the three bedrooms tucked away from the main living spaces. Large windows face the garden, which means the inside of the house is full of green light most of the day. In summer, the boundary between indoors and out practically dissolves. The wood-fired sauna is one of those features that sounds like a nice extra until you've actually used it in late October, when the air outside has that particular sharp coldness and the birches have gone gold. Panoramic windows face the forest — you're not staring at a fence, you're watching the trees. After a long drive up from the city, or an afternoon of paddling on one of the nearby lakes, this is where the week resets itself. Right beside it sits the custom-built pizza oven, which sounds indulgent until you realize it becomes the social core of every weekend gathering. Friends arrive Friday evening, som ... click here to read more

You wake up to absolute quiet. Not the muffled silence of a city apartment with double glazing doing its best — actual quiet, broken only by a wood pigeon somewhere in the birches and the distant smell of salt air drifting in from the Baltic. That's the morning at Orranäs 443. It takes about thirty seconds to remember why you bought this place. Set on a generous 1,535-square-meter plot along the coastal stretch between Torhamn and Kristianopel in Sweden's Blekinge county, this 1935-built country home has been thoughtfully updated into something genuinely liveable across all four seasons. It's a proper house — 104 square meters over two floors, three bedrooms, a modernised bathroom, a real kitchen — not a summer shack with a camp stove and a prayer. The winterisation is done right, which matters more than people realise until their first November in coastal Sweden. The ground floor sets the tone immediately. A wide kitchen with a dedicated dining area runs along the back of the house, large windows pulling in the light that Blekinge gets in abundance from May through September. You can sit at the table with a cup of coffee and look out over the open fields while someone else starts breakfast. That kind of morning becomes a habit fast. The kitchen has modern appliances and storage that actually works — no squeezing condiments into impossible corners. The adjacent living room is the kind of space that earns its square footage, comfortable enough for a rainy Tuesday in October and sociable enough for eight people with wine glasses on a midsummer Saturday. The bathroom on the ground floor was recently renovated and shows it: clean lines, modern fixtures, no compromises. Upstairs, three bedrooms each look out over countrysi ... click here to read more

At five in the morning in July, the sun hasn't gone down since yesterday. It hangs low and amber over the Gulf of Bothnia, throwing copper light through the birch trees at the edge of the garden, and you're already awake — not because you have to be, but because Seskarö does something to your sleep cycle. You stop fighting time up here. You start living by light instead. That's the pull of Bladviken 5. A two-bedroom country home on one of northern Sweden's quieter islands, sitting on a 1,975 square metre plot just a hundred metres from the shoreline. The water is right there — you can smell it through the kitchen window in the morning, that cold, clean salt-and-pine combination that doesn't exist anywhere further south. The house itself is 63 square metres of honest, practical Scandinavian living. Wooden walls, natural light coming in at all angles, and a floor plan that doesn't waste a centimetre. It's not enormous, but it's thoughtfully arranged — the kind of layout where you always know where everyone is, where conversations drift naturally from the kitchen to the living room without anyone having to raise their voice. Two bedrooms handle a couple or a small family comfortably. The single bathroom is functional. The kitchen is set up for actual cooking, not just reheating things — and when you're coming back from a morning on the water with fresh-caught perch or Baltic herring, that matters. What extends the property's real usefulness is everything outside the main house. Multiple outbuildings sit across the generous plot, and they're the kind of practical structures that Swedish island life actually calls for. There's room for a proper sauna setup — this is Norrbotten, after all, and a summer evening without a sau ... click here to read more

Step out onto the deck at seven in the morning, coffee in hand, and the only sounds are birdsong and the faint lap of water from Lake Fåsjön through the trees. That's the daily reality at Boviksvägen 5 — a winterized country home in Sweden's Bergslagen region that earns its keep in every season, not just the postcard ones. Nora Municipality sits about 190 kilometers west of Stockholm, deep in the forested heartland of Örebro County. People who discover this pocket of Sweden tend to stay loyal to it. The landscape is classic Swedish countryside — mixed pine and birch forest, mirror-flat lakes, red timber houses glimpsed along gravel roads — but Nora itself punches above its weight. The wooden town center is one of the best-preserved in the country, with cobbled lanes, 19th-century merchant houses, and the kind of ice cream parlor (Noras GB Glassbar, if you're asking) that generates genuine local debate about flavor rankings. It's about a 20-minute drive from the property. The house sits on Boviksvägen, a quiet road that hugs the eastern shore of Lake Fåsjön. At 68 square meters, the main building is honest about what it is: a well-planned single-story retreat where the hallway, living room, and kitchen flow into one another without fuss. Built in 1990 and kept in good condition since, it reads airy rather than small, largely because the windows are generous and positioned to pull in the surrounding green. Two bedrooms sit toward the rear — calm, properly sized rooms suited for sleeping deeply in a way that town apartments rarely allow. The bathroom is shared, which is standard for a house this size, and it works. Beyond the interiors, a glazed veranda extends the livable space into the colder shoulder months, letting yo ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first — pine resin warming in the morning sun, a faint trace of lake water carried on the breeze from Mälaren. You're standing on the south-facing patio at Gäddvägen 35, coffee in hand, watching light fracture across the water through the birch trees, and it takes about four minutes to feel like you've been here your whole life. That's the kind of place Märsön is. Märsön is a small island just outside Enköping, roughly 75 kilometres west of Stockholm. Not famous, not overrun with summer tourists, not the subject of glossy weekend magazine spreads. That's exactly the point. The people who find their way here tend to come back year after year, eventually buying a little red house with a garden, a rowboat, and a long list of nothing urgent to do. This two-bedroom holiday home on Gäddvägen is the kind of property those people fight over when it finally comes to market. The plot itself covers 1,575 square metres — a genuinely generous footprint on an island where land this size doesn't come up often. There's a mature garden with room to grow tomatoes, set up a badminton net, or simply leave as the slightly wild green sanctuary it already is. The patio catches sun from mid-morning right through to evening, which in Swedish summer means you're outside until past nine o'clock, long after the light turns that particular shade of gold that makes everyone reach for their phone cameras. Inside, the 67-square-metre main house is single-storey and well laid out. Four rooms — living area, two bedrooms, and a flexible fourth space that works as a home office, a bunk room for kids, or a proper guest room depending on the week's visitors. The kitchen was renovated in 2017 and still feels fresh: clean cabinetry, funct ... click here to read more

Step off the gravel path and onto the covered porch of Rumma Ekenberg on a late July evening, and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not an uncomfortable silence — the kind that has texture. Wind moving through birch trees. A wood pigeon somewhere to the east. The faint smell of pine resin warming in the last of the day's sun. If you've been chasing that particular kind of quiet for years, you've just found it. This 19th-century Swedish torp sits in the village of Rumma, tucked into the rural heart of Östergötland — a county that Swedes themselves talk about with a certain reverence. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, 96 square metres of winterized living space, and just over 1,000 square metres of land that backs toward open fields and forest. At €87,000, it's the kind of property that makes you do the math twice. The house is old in the best possible way. Original wide-plank wooden floors run through the living room, their grain darkened and worn smooth by well over a century of use. Three windows on three different walls mean the room catches the light at almost every hour — gold in the morning from the east, bright and even through the afternoon, and that long, horizontal Scandinavian evening light that doesn't quit until past ten in summer. The open fireplace anchors the space. Come October, when the first frosts push in across the fields, you'll be very glad it's there. The kitchen was renovated in 2006, and whoever did the work had good taste. Masur birch cabinetry — a figured, almost burl-like birch that's genuinely striking up close — gives the room a quiet distinctiveness that off-the-shelf Ikea kitchens simply can't replicate. Black-and-white stone-effect flooring, decent appliances including a dishwashe ... click here to read more

Early morning on Tjurkö, the Baltic air carries a faint smell of salt and pine resin through the bedroom window, and the only sound is a pair of oystercatchers working the shoreline 500 meters down the path. That's your morning. No traffic, no neighbors in sight, just the particular quiet that belongs to the Swedish archipelago in the hours before breakfast. Kyskens väg 8 sits at the end of a winding gravel-and-grass track on one of Blekinge's most unhurried islands, set back in a small glade with a single neighbor and a 2,650-square-meter plot that's framed on three sides by old stone walls. The kind of walls that took generations to build, stone by stone, pulled from the same granite bedrock that shapes this coastline. The land is level and open—big enough for a game of kubb at dusk, a proper kitchen garden, or a hammock strung between two old trees with a book and a thermos of coffee. The house itself was built in 1967 and still carries the honest bones of a classic Swedish sommarstuga. Original wooden floors, a functional iron stove, a kitchen that has fed a lot of families over a lot of summers. It doesn't try to be something it isn't. The 52 square meters are arranged with the kind of practical logic that Scandinavian builders understood instinctively—kitchen and dining together at around 21 square meters, generous enough for a crowded table on a rainy August afternoon, two bedrooms of 9 and 11 square meters respectively, and a bathroom with shower. Four separate exits mean kids can circuit the house without ever coming back through the kitchen, which anyone who's spent a week at a Swedish summer cottage will know is quietly essential. Out the back, a covered terrace extends the living space into something close ... click here to read more

You wake up, the morning is quiet except for the sound of birdsong filtering through the pine trees, and you walk barefoot across dewy grass to rinse off under the open-air shower while the sky above turns from pale grey to gold. That's the rhythm here at Bengtsgård 80. Not a performance of countryside living — the real thing. This 45-square-metre holiday home sits on a generous 1,500 m² leasehold plot in Bengtsgård, just outside Kristinehamn in Sweden's beloved Värmland region. At around €70,000, it's one of those properties that makes you do a double take. Lake Vänern — Europe's third-largest lake — is a short walk down the road. The Bengtsgård bathing area, with its clean sandy shore and calm swimming waters, is practically your front yard. And yet the place feels genuinely tucked away, surrounded by mature trees that screen you from the world without making you feel cut off from it. The house itself was built in 1970 and renovated in 2019, and the kitchen-living area is the real heart of it. Open-plan, bright, with large windows pulling in natural light that shifts dramatically through the seasons — it's the kind of space where Sunday mornings stretch out over long breakfasts and nowhere-to-be afternoons. The kitchen has been modernised properly: real storage, working appliances, finishes that don't feel temporary. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, and on those September evenings when the air turns cool and the lake mist rolls in, it earns its place completely. One bedroom, thoughtfully arranged for genuine rest. There's also a separate utility room with an incineration toilet — a practical, low-footprint solution that's standard in Swedish off-grid holiday properties and entirely in keeping with t ... click here to read more

On a still August evening, the smell of woodsmoke drifts through an open window while the bells of Lohärad Church — standing just across the lane since the 1200s — ring out across open farmland. That's your Tuesday. That's just a Tuesday here. This three-bedroom country cottage on Lohäradsvägen, set along a quiet rural road about 15 minutes outside Norrtälje and roughly 50 minutes from central Stockholm, is the kind of place that rewires your relationship with time. It's compact at 35 sqm of registered living space — the low ceiling height on the upper floor accounts for that number, while the actual floor area is meaningfully larger — but the property itself sprawls across a 3,040 sqm flat plot filled with apple trees, raspberry thickets, a 15 sqm greenhouse on a timber deck, an earth cellar, a carpenter's workshop, and a newly completed guest house. Small footprint. Big life. The main cottage, known locally as a torp, traces its roots to the early 1800s, and the current owner has renovated it with the kind of attention that most people only talk about: period-appropriate materials, historically sourced pigments, a new wood-burning stove from Josef Davidssons Idun fitted into the traditional kitchen. The fireplace insert in the living room draws you in on grey October afternoons. Upstairs, two bedrooms sit under sloping ceilings that give the whole upper floor the feeling of sleeping inside a ship's hull — not cramped, just close. A chamber off the living room works as a third sleeping space or a quiet reading room. The veranda at the front catches the morning sun. One of the genuinely rare features of this property: private fishing rights over a 560 sqm stretch of Lake Erken. Crayfish fishing. In Sweden, that is not ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Bölsnäs 59 is the light. It comes off Lake Möckeln in long, flat ribbons, cuts straight through those big south-facing windows, and lands on the wooden floor before you've even made coffee. By 7am, if you pull on a jacket and walk the 200 meters down to the sandy beach, the water is still glassy. No motorboats yet. Just a heron standing at the edge of the pier, doing what herons do. That's the kind of place this is. This small, single-storey cottage in Liatorp sits on a 1,006-square-meter plot with Lake Möckeln practically in the backyard. The house itself is 20 square meters — tight, yes, but cleverly planned. The main room does everything: sitting, sleeping, sheltering you from the rain while the south-facing patio outside handles the rest of life in warmer months. Large windows keep the interior from ever feeling closed in. The covered terrace at the entrance means your morning coffee routine stays intact even on the grey, drizzly August days that occasionally roll through Småland. On the gable end, the south-facing patio is where summer actually happens. It catches the afternoon sun fully, and with Lake Möckeln framing the view, it's the sort of spot where a meal that was supposed to take an hour stretches into three. The 1,006-square-meter plot gives you room to work with — a vegetable patch, a hammock strung between two birches, a fire pit for the evenings when the temperature drops and the sky turns the colour of a bruised plum. A separate outbuilding fitted with a composting (Separett) toilet keeps things practical without cluttering the main space. It works. The property was built in 1948 and has been kept in good condition throughout — move in the same weeke ... click here to read more

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, s ... click here to read more

You wake up before anyone else in the house. The sun is already high — it's July, and this far north of the Arctic Circle, it barely dips below the horizon. You pull on a fleece, step outside onto the lot, and walk the forty-odd meters down to the edge of Lake Kusträsket. The water is glass. A pike rolls near the reeds. You have nowhere to be. That's the reality of owning a place at Kusträsk 34. This 60-square-meter timber holiday home sits on a generous 2,190 square meter plot in the Boden municipality of Norrbotten County, built in 2007 from solid log construction that keeps the interior cool in summer and retainable-warm through the brutally cold Swedish winters. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate hygiene cottage with a traditional sauna, and fiber-optic broadband that runs fast enough to handle a video call or a Netflix evening when the weather turns. It's the kind of property that covers every real need without overcomplicating anything. The open-plan living and dining area is the social core of the cabin. Wide windows face the forest and the lake — not a curated view through a narrow frame, but a proper wide look at the spruce canopy and the water beyond. The natural pine interior does something good to the light in here; everything takes on a warm amber tone by late afternoon. Cook, eat, play cards at the table, watch the weather roll in across the lake. The kitchen is set up for proper cooking, not just reheating — and after a morning out on the water pulling in perch, that matters. Local anglers smoke their catch over alder wood, a tradition worth learning quickly. The sauna is the detail that separates a Swedish cabin from every other rural property in Europe. This one sits in its own separate structure ... click here to read more

Early on a Saturday morning in late August, you step outside with a coffee and the air smells of pine resin and wet grass. The fruit trees at the far end of the garden are heavy with apples. Nobody else is awake yet. That's the kind of quiet that Sunnersbol 72 delivers — not the forced stillness of a spa weekend, but the genuine, unhurried pace of Swedish countryside life. Sitting in Uppsala kommun, roughly halfway between the university city of Uppsala and the small market town of Alunda, this 1976-built country home sits on a plot of nearly 3,000 square meters — almost three-quarters of an acre — that gives you room to breathe in a way that most European second homes simply can't match at this price point. At 149,500 SEK, this is one of the more accessible entry points into Swedish rural property ownership you'll find, and the combination of move-in condition, outbuildings with genuine conversion potential, and that sweeping plot makes it worth a very serious look. The house itself is compact and honest — 50 square meters of classic Swedish timber construction, painted in the kind of deep, earthy tones you see on farmhouses all across Uppland. Wooden floors run through the main rooms, the kitchen is functional and well-maintained, and large windows pull in light from multiple angles throughout the day. In a building this size, light matters enormously, and whoever designed this one got that right. The flexible internal layout — three to four rooms plus kitchen — means a couple can spread out comfortably, or a small family can make it work through the summer months with the bedrooms and living space reconfigured to suit. What makes this property genuinely interesting, though, is what sits outside the main house. Ther ... click here to read more

Early July on Vätö, and the light never quite leaves the sky. By nine in the evening it's still pale gold through the birch trees, and from the south-facing deck at Svartträskvägen 19 you can hear absolutely nothing except the occasional woodpecker working through the pines. That specific silence — no traffic, no neighbors' televisions, no city hum — is what people drive two hours north from Stockholm to find. This is it. Vätö is one of those places that Stockholmers tend to keep quietly to themselves. Technically an island in the northern Stockholm archipelago within Norrtälje municipality, it's connected by road so you arrive without any ferry anxiety, yet the moment you cross onto the island the pace genuinely shifts. The air smells different — pine resin and lake water — and the roads narrow into single tracks flanked by wildflowers that locals pick for their midsommar wreaths every June. The Sörgården area where this property sits is among the quieter pockets of the island, which is saying something. The house itself was built in 1977 and sits on a 2,323 square metre plot that's been left largely natural — mature trees, mossy ground cover, that particular Swedish woodland character you can't manufacture. It's not manicured and it's better for it. The lot gives you genuine privacy, room for a kitchen garden if you want one, and space to add a sauna cabin down the line (many neighbours have done exactly that).

On a still July morning in Långvreten, the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the absence of sound, but the right kind of sound — wood pigeons in the birch canopy, a distant lawnmower two plots over, the soft creak of a garden chair. By eight o'clock, the sun has already been up for hours. That's the Swedish summer for you. Jädravägen 10 sits on a 2,828-square-metre plot in Bro, Upplands-Bro municipality, about 40 kilometres northwest of Stockholm. It's a 1969 timber cottage that one family has quietly looked after for over five decades. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, 48 square metres of living space inside — and then a vast, tree-lined garden that does most of the real living for you. This is the kind of Swedish vacation home that doesn't exist in brochures because families hold onto them for generations. When one finally comes available, you pay attention. The interior keeps its original bones intact. Low ceilings. Wood-panel walls in that particular warm ochre that 1960s Swedish cottages seem to own. A fireplace in the living room that becomes the social centre of the house the moment September arrives and the evenings cool fast. The kitchen is compact and functional — there's a rhythm to cooking here, the way you plan meals around what's at the local shop in Kungsängen rather than having everything delivered to your door. It changes how you eat, and usually for the better. Three bedrooms means room for kids, grandparents, or that one friend who always lingers into the following week. A note worth knowing upfront: the bathroom currently has a composting toilet and no running water connection to the mains. This is common in older Swedish fritidshus and entirely manageable as a warm-season property, which is p ... click here to read more
