However, note that the land is currently leased, which might slightly limit mortgage options for now.

This transition signals greater freedom, a subject prospective buyers should keep an eye on.

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

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

The ferry from Näsbyviken takes about four minutes. Four minutes, and the mainland's noise is already somewhere else — behind you, irrelevant. You step onto Ringsö carrying nothing but a bag of groceries and whatever you couldn't leave at the office, and by the time you've walked the pine-lined path up to the red-painted house at Ringsöringen 175, the second thing has already dissolved too. That's the honest sell for this place. Not the square footage, not the buzzwords. It's that specific, almost unfair feeling of arriving somewhere that immediately makes your shoulders drop. Ringsö sits in Lake Mälaren, Sweden's third-largest lake and one of Scandinavia's most underrated waterways. The island belongs to Strängnäs municipality, and if you're approaching from Stockholm, you're looking at roughly an hour by car — take the E20 west and follow signs toward Strängnäs, then wind down through Stallarholmen to catch the water crossing. Strängnäs itself is worth knowing: a cathedral town with roots in the Viking age, a medieval old quarter, and the kind of weekly Saturday market on Rådhustorget where you can stock up on fresh-smoked fish, cloudberry jam, and sourdough before heading back to the island. The town is genuinely liveable, not just a tourist backdrop. The property sits on a 2,252 square metre plot — generous by any measure for an island setting. The main house comes in at 36 square metres on the ground floor, which sounds compact until you're inside and realise how well the space has been thought through. A proper kitchen, a living room with windows that pull in long Swedish afternoon light, one bedroom, a bathroom with shower and an eco-friendly Separett composting toilet. Above, a sleeping loft adds another 10 sq ... click here to read more

Wake up to the sound of nothing. Not silence exactly — there's the soft lap of water against the shore fifty metres away, a woodpecker somewhere in the birches, and if it's early enough on a summer morning, the mist still sitting low over Mungasjön. That's the first thing you notice at this 1800s log cabin in Munga, a small community just outside Västerås where people still leave their doors unlocked and wave at strangers on the gravel road. This is a genuine country home vacation property in Sweden, not a weekend renovation project or a lifestyle concept. The main cabin, roughly 75 square metres, started life in Dalarna — the heartland of Swedish rural architecture — and was relocated to this woodland plot in 1965. The logs have had sixty years to settle into the land. They look like they grew here. Step inside and the floors are solid pine, wide-planked and warm underfoot even in autumn. The ceiling beams are exposed and chunky. The open fireplace isn't decorative; it's where everyone ends up after a long day of swimming or foraging in the forest behind the property. The kitchen has its own wood-burning stove, which means two independent heat sources before you've even thought about the covered terrace — which has its own fireplace too, facing the lake. Three fires for a 75-square-metre house. That tells you something about the priorities of whoever built this place. The modernisation has been done without apology or excess. Fibre-optic internet was installed because working remotely from a lakeside cabin in Sweden is, frankly, a legitimate life choice. The bathroom and shower were renovated tastefully, the laundry room updated between 2018 and 2019. These aren't things you'll need to budget for. The house is move-i ... click here to read more

Main house and garden view

Early July on Gränsö, and the morning light hits the water at an angle that makes the whole inlet look like it's been lit from below. You're standing on the front terrace with a coffee, the smell of pine resin drifting in from the trees behind the house, a pair of eider ducks cutting low across the channel. The only sound is wind. This is what you bought it for. Gränsö 44 is a complete Swedish archipelago holding — main house, guest cottage, outbuilding, boathouse, and a private jetty with servitude rights — sitting on just over 1,000 square metres of natural island land near Arkösund on the Vikbolandet peninsula. The main house went up in 2008, which means it was built with proper insulation and modern systems rather than cobbled together over generations like many island properties. Eighty-one square metres doesn't sound like much on paper, but the open-plan kitchen and living room layout makes the space feel generous, and the large windows along the front pull the outside in so consistently that the terrace feels like a fifth room. That terrace is south-facing and wide enough to actually do something on. Not a narrow ledge — a real outdoor living space, long enough for a table that seats eight, with partial water views through the trees. The glass door from the living room means summer evenings blur naturally between inside and out, the wood-burning stove providing the threshold between seasons when September rolls in and the air sharpens. Three bedrooms sleep the family comfortably, the guest cottage tacks on another four or five sleeping places for when friends inevitably want to come, and the small outbuilding handles storage and a composting separett toilet that keeps the main bathroom free during a full house. ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first. Salt air and sun-warmed pine needles, drifting through the kitchen window at eight in the morning while the coffee percolates and your kids are already somewhere in the garden, bare feet on grass. That's Sandslättsvägen 2 on a Tuesday in July. Nothing dramatic. Just the particular quiet that only comes when you're 600 meters from one of Sweden's finest stretches of coastline and you have nowhere urgent to be. Haverdal is not a place that tries too hard. It sits along the Halland coast between Halmstad and Mellbystrand, a low-key community of summer houses, cycling families, and people who have been coming back to this same beach every August for thirty years. The four-kilometer sandy shore here is the kind you walk at dusk when the crowds have thinned and the light goes sideways and golden across the dunes. Swimming, paddleboarding, building fires in designated spots on the sand — the rhythm of summer on this stretch of coast has barely changed in decades, and honestly that's the whole point. The cottage at Sandslättsvägen 2 was built in 1969 and it wears its era well. Fifty-five square meters of thoughtful, practical layout — a bright living room with windows that frame the garden like a painting, a functional kitchen set up exactly right for long summer dinners, and a bedroom that stays cool even on the warmest Halland afternoons. There's an additional ten square meters of auxiliary space, and a separate friggebod guest cabin sits in the garden, which means visiting family or friends get their own breathing room. It's the feature that turns a weekend visit into a proper stay. The lot is the other thing people notice. At 1,222 square meters, it's substantial for this area — a mature, private ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in late August, the light through the west-facing terrace at Vikavägen 6 lands differently than anywhere else. It's that particular Nordic gold—low, long, almost amber—that turns an ordinary cup of coffee into something you want to remember. The lilacs have finished blooming, the garden smells of warm grass, and somewhere about a kilometer down the road, the morning boat to Arholma is leaving Simpnäs harbor with a low churn of engine and the cry of a few opportunistic gulls. This is Björkö. And once you've spent a summer here, it becomes very hard to spend one anywhere else. Vikavägen 6 is a year-round holiday home on the island of Björkö in Norrtälje municipality, sitting in the outer reach of the Stockholm archipelago where the Åland Sea opens up and the islands thin out into something wilder and less visited than the tourist-heavy inner archipelago. The property dates to 1909, and you can feel that history in the weight of the walls and the way the three buildings frame a courtyard garden that has clearly been lived in and loved across many generations. At the same time, this is not a restoration project. The main house is in good condition, with a kitchen renovated in 2019, a modern shower room, and proper water and sewage connections that make year-round use genuinely comfortable rather than just technically possible. The main house is single-story, 84 square meters, and the layout makes intelligent use of every one of them. The kitchen has kept its rustic character after the renovation—there's a wood-burning stove in there that does double duty, heating the space and making the room smell like every Swedish winter weekend you've ever imagined. It opens into a dining room that functions ... click here to read more

Main house and garden

Saturday morning. You pull open the heavy wooden door of the sauna house, and the birch-scented steam rolls out across the rocky knoll while the Stockholm archipelago sits quiet and silver through the trees. The wood-fired hot tub is still warm from the night before. Nobody else is awake yet. This is Vätö — and once you've had a morning like that, it's almost impossible to go back to ordinary weekends. Krokusstigen 10 sits on the island of Vätö in Norrtälje municipality, about 90 kilometres north of Stockholm, connected to the mainland by a bridge that makes this feel accessible without ever feeling crowded. The property is a classic Swedish sommarstuga in spirit — built in 1956, with all the soul that comes from a house that has absorbed decades of long evenings and midsummer celebrations — but the practical side has been kept firmly in the present. This is not a project. It's move-in ready and waiting. The main house runs to 60 square metres, which sounds compact until you step out onto the large wooden terraces and realise the living space effectively doubles in summer. Swedes know how to design for the outdoors, and this house is proof. The terraces wrap around the property in a way that catches light at different hours of the day — morning coffee on one side, evening wine on the other as the sun drops low over the pines. Inside, the living room is anchored by a masonry open fireplace with a Roslag insert, the kind of cast-iron fitting that's been keeping archipelago families warm for generations. Light a fire in September, crack a window, and listen to the first autumn wind move through the birch trees outside. That fireplace earns its keep from August through to May. The layout is honest and well-proportioned. A ... click here to read more

Early on a September morning, the mist sits low over the fields at Ustorp. You open the kitchen window and the smell that comes in is grass and lake water and something faintly woodsy — pine resin, maybe, or the leaves already turning on the birches at the far edge of the meadow. There's no traffic noise. Just the distant call of cranes gathering for their southward journey, and the creak of the old wooden frame as the house warms up. This is what daily life looks like at Ustorp 11, a country property on 2.4 hectares of southern Swedish land, sitting roughly a kilometer from the western shore of Lake Solgen in Eksjö Municipality. The plot is the first thing that stops you. 24,000 square meters of it — open arable fields, mature trees, lawns wide enough to get genuinely lost in. The house sits on elevated ground, which means you're looking out over the surrounding farmland rather than into it. On clear days the view extends toward the lake. In winter, when the deciduous trees drop their leaves, you can see even further. The elevation also means the rooms get good light most of the day, which matters in Småland, where winters are real and dark and you learn to chase the sun across the house. The main residence is in good condition, cared for in the understated way that Swedish country homeowners tend to look after things — quietly, consistently, without fuss. Classic rural Swedish architecture means thick walls, practical proportions, and windows that frame the outside like paintings you never get tired of. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and genuinely liveable. This isn't a renovation project held together by optimism. You could arrive on a Friday evening and simply be here. What sets this place apart from a typical Swe ... click here to read more

Main house and outbuildings, Ustorp 11

The smell hits you first — cut grass warming in the late afternoon sun, woodsmoke drifting from somewhere across the fields, and the faint sweetness of the apple trees that line the far edge of the yard. Then you notice how quiet it actually is. Not the uncomfortable quiet of isolation, but the deep, settled quiet of a place that has been at peace with itself for over a hundred years. That's Fågelsta Stormbacken. A 1910 red-painted farmstead on the outer edge of Julita, Katrineholms kommun, sitting on 1.3 hectares of Swedish countryside with the kind of bones that modern houses simply can't replicate. The main house runs to 160 square metres across seven rooms, and it carries its age well. Wide wooden floors creak in exactly the right places. Original period doors still swing on their hinges. Three traditional tiled stoves — kakelugnar — stand in the sitting rooms and do what they've always done: turn a cold November evening into something you don't want to leave. The ceilings are high enough that the rooms never feel crowded even when the family descends in full. Large windows face the courtyard and the open fields beyond, pulling in light from morning through to the long Swedish summer evenings when dusk doesn't fall until nearly eleven o'clock. The kitchen is the heart of the place, as it should be. Country-style cabinetry, a serious amount of worktop space, and updated appliances sit alongside the original character of the room without any sense of awkward compromise. The dining area flows directly off it, which matters enormously when you're hosting — plates passing between rooms, conversation spilling between spaces. This is a kitchen designed for proper cooking, not just reheating. Think slow-braised elk from t ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in July and the lake is right there — twenty seconds down the path, glittering through the birch trees, still enough to mirror the sky. That's not a selling point. That's just Tuesday at Kvarsätters sjöväg 26. This two-bedroom country home sits on a generous corner lot in the Kvarsätter community of Hallsberg Municipality, Örebro County, with Lake Tisaren less than fifty meters from the front gate. It's a proper Swedish fritidshus — built in 1979, solid and well-maintained, 100 square meters of comfortable interior space — but what makes it work as both a vacation home and a potential year-round residence is how effortlessly it fits the life you'd actually want to live here. The house itself is warm and unpretentious. The living room anchors everything: a working fireplace for the deep-winter months when the lake freezes over and the forest goes completely quiet, paired with a modern air-source heat pump that makes climate control genuinely practical in every season. Autumn evenings in particular are something here. The surrounding forest turns amber and rust in September, and with the heat pump humming quietly and a fire going, the inside of this house becomes exactly the kind of place you don't want to leave. The kitchen is full-sized and functional — real counter space, real storage, designed for people who actually cook rather than just heat things up. It flows naturally into the dining area, which matters when you've got family visiting or friends up from Stockholm for a long weekend. The bathroom is large and modern, refreshingly so for a house of this era and type. Out back, a substantial south-facing wooden deck catches sun from mid-morning through early evening. In midsumme ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air already carries salt from the Baltic. The rauks — those ancient limestone pillars rising from the water at Kyllaj — are catching the low sun about five hundred meters away, and the only sounds are wind through the birches and the distant clang of a mooring line at the small harbor. This is northern Gotland on a weekday, and it feels like the rest of the world doesn't exist. This 1929 whitewashed country home has belonged to one family for roughly sixty years. That kind of continuity is unusual, and you can feel it. The proportions are honest, the walls are thick, and nothing about the place feels rushed or flipped. It sits on 2,475 square meters of mature garden — big enough for a vegetable patch, a lawn worth lying on, and still room for the kids to disappear somewhere between the trees. At 69 square meters, the interior is compact but genuinely livable. The living room pulls in light from large windows that look straight onto the garden, and on a clear afternoon the brightness in that room is something else — white walls, wooden floors, and green outside every pane of glass. The kitchen keeps its rustic bones while running on modern appliances, with enough bench space to actually cook rather than just heat things up. Gotlandic lamb stew with local saffron, maybe, or fresh-caught pike-perch from one of the fishing spots along the northern coast. The bedroom is a proper quiet room — not a converted alcove — with the kind of stillness at night that urban buyers simply haven't experienced in years. What sets this property apart from most holiday homes in Sweden isn't the house itself. It's everything around it. The earth cellar keeps wine and root vegetables at a natural cool t ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning in Joesjö and the air hits you differently. It's cold even in midsummer, sharp with pine resin and the faint iron smell of the stream running beside the lappkåta. The silence isn't empty—it hums with birdsong, the soft creak of the cabin settling in the warmth, and about 250 meters through the trees, the sound of Övre Jovattnet lapping at its stony shore. This is Swedish Lapland at its most honest. No curated Instagram version of it. The real thing. The cabin at Joesjö 318 was built in 2005 and it wears its age lightly—well-kept, solid, move-in ready. From the moment you walk through the door, the ceiling grabs your attention. It rises all the way to the roof ridge, opening the living space upward in a way that feels genuinely generous for a 70-square-meter footprint. Large windows pull the forest inside without you having to go anywhere. The kitchen flows naturally from the living room, and you can watch the lappkåta sitting quietly across the stream while you wait for the kettle to boil. There are two bedrooms on the main level—calm, practical, well-proportioned. Above them, a loft adds sleeping space for kids or visiting friends, the kind of flexible setup that makes a mountain cabin feel like it can absorb however many people turn up. The bathroom has a sauna. Of course it does. This is Sweden. But it's worth saying clearly: finishing a day of hiking up Norra Storfjällets trails and stepping into that heat is not just pleasant. It's transformative. Your legs stop arguing with you. Everything quiets down. Directly across from the main cabin, on its own separate plot included in the sale, stands the lappkåta. This traditional Sami-style structure is something genuinely rare to find in ... click here to read more

On a still July morning, you step off the wooden deck in bare feet, coffee in hand, and walk 350 meters through birch trees to the private sandy beach at Lejondalssjön. The lake is glassy and cold and yours. Nobody else is up yet. This is what owning a country home in Stentorp, Upplands-Bro actually feels like. Svärdsvägen 4 is a 1955 red-painted cottage that sits on 2,275 square meters of private garden in one of the most quietly coveted lake communities within striking distance of Stockholm. At 34 square meters, the main house is compact by any standard — but the Swedish tradition of small, well-planned living spaces was never better applied. Every square meter works hard. The living room centers on a wood-burning stove that keeps things genuinely warm during October evenings when the colors outside turn amber and rust. Large windows frame that garden and the tree line beyond it, so even on grey November days there's a sense of being inside a landscape painting rather than a house. The kitchen is straightforward and functional — enough counter space to cook a proper meal, enough room to not bump into whoever's doing the dishes. The single bedroom is calm and quiet, the kind of sleep you don't get in the city. Outside, the oversized deck is where life really happens in summer. Long dinners that drift into long evenings. Books abandoned after three pages. The garden behind it is half-wild, half-cultivated — mature trees providing canopy, open patches of lawn inviting a hammock or a kitchen garden if you're inclined. What separates this property from most Swedish country cottages is the additional infrastructure already in place. The separate guest cottage comes with its own bathroom, which means visitors are comfortab ... click here to read more

Step off the gravel path at Gudbyvägen 36 on a June morning and what hits you first is the quiet. Not the absence of sound exactly — there's a woodpecker somewhere behind the tree line, and a neighbor's dog doing its rounds — but the kind of quiet that makes Stockholm feel like a different world, even though you're only 25 minutes up the E4. This is Gudby. A pocket of Upplands Väsby where the houses have proper gardens, where the roads still have names that predate the suburbs, and where 2,662 square meters of your own land means you can walk barefoot across your own grass without seeing a fence for a good while. The 1955 cottage sitting on that plot is small — 20 square meters of honest simplicity — but the land it stands on is where the real story lives. The cottage itself is functional and in good condition. One room, one bathroom, the basics done right. It's not trying to be anything it isn't, which is part of what makes it work so well as a summer retreat or a base while you figure out what comes next. And what comes next is the interesting part. Municipal water and sewage are already connected at the property boundary — costs already covered by the current owners — which removes one of the more tedious hurdles for anyone thinking about development. The plot is potentially divisible too, a detail that opens up a range of possibilities depending on what direction you want to take this. Many neighbors along Gudbyvägen have already done exactly that. Started with an older summer cottage, renovated or built alongside it, and ended up with a year-round home on a generous piece of land that would cost multiples to replicate closer to the city. That trajectory is visible in the streetscape here — you see the mix of orig ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning at Örviks byväg 18 and the air carries something particular — a mix of pine resin, cut grass, and the faint salt tang drifting in from the Baltic just 1.7 kilometres away. The southwest sun is already hitting the glazed conservatory. Coffee in hand, you watch a pair of cranes pick their way across the meadow. This is Roslagen in its quietest, most honest form. Not a postcard. The real thing. Herräng sits roughly 100 kilometres north of Stockholm along the Uppland coast, tucked into the northern reaches of the Roslagen archipelago — a region Swedes have been quietly keeping to themselves for generations. This particular property sits about 4 kilometres south of Herräng village proper, on a lane where the neighbours are mostly birch trees and the occasional tractor. The address, Örviks byväg 18, places you on the edge of the Örvikssjön lake, roughly 350 metres from the water's edge. On still evenings you can hear the lake. On windy ones, you can hear the sea. The main house is a 1.5-storey building measuring 130 square metres, in good condition and ready to move into without a renovation project hanging over your first summer. Ground floor has a proper layout for a family: a hallway that opens naturally into a generous living room, a kitchen that works, a bedroom, and a laundry room with WC. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a bathroom share the space with a family room and, critically, a balcony with partial views over Örvikssjön. That balcony matters more than it sounds on paper — sitting up there as the light shifts over the water at 9pm in June, with the sky still pale gold, is one of those Swedish summer moments that makes people buy property in this country and never fully leave. The g ... click here to read more

Main house and yard

Close your eyes for a second and picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in late June, the air smells of pine resin and cut grass, and you're standing in a garden the size of a small meadow with a cup of coffee, watching swallows cut low over the wildflower patch. Nobody is calling you anywhere. That's the daily reality at Skredsviks Hede 317, a red-painted Swedish torp built in 1787 that has somehow made it to the modern era with its soul completely intact. This is genuine West Sweden countryside — the kind of place people from Gothenburg have been quietly keeping to themselves for generations. Uddevalla sits at the edge of the Bohuslän coast, a region where the granite archipelago crumbles into the Skagerrak, and where the summer light at 10pm still paints everything gold. The property itself sits in Skredsvik, a rural parish about 20 minutes by car from Uddevalla's city center, and cycling distance from open water swimming spots that don't appear in any guidebook. The house is small by modern standards — 47 square meters of living space in the main building — but that's part of the point. Everything here is intentional. You're not managing a mansion; you're maintaining a piece of history. The original wooden structure from the late 18th century is still the bones of the building, and the owners have kept the character rigorously intact: exposed ceiling beams with the kind of patina that takes two centuries to develop, tongue-and-groove wall paneling, wide-plank wooden floors that creak in exactly the right places. Walk into the combined kitchen and hallway and you'll immediately understand the logic of how these old Swedish farmhouses worked. There's a wood-burning stove for warmth, a traditional baking oven (function ... click here to read more

On a still July morning in Herräng, you crack the upstairs balcony door and the air comes in cool and pine-sharp, carrying the faint sound of someone rowing out past the rocks below. The apple trees in the garden are heavy. Coffee is already on. This is what owning a second home in Roslagen actually feels like — and Norra Kallbodavägen 82 is one of those rare finds that delivers it without compromise. Built in 1930 and thoroughly renovated to a standard that leaves nothing to the imagination, this two-bedroom country home sits on a private, elevated plot of 3,841 square meters in Bredsund, just outside Herräng village. The renovation was not cosmetic. Everything was addressed: roof, façade, electrical systems, plumbing, bathroom, kitchen, and interior surfaces. What remains is the original soul of a Swedish country house — its proportions, its timber character, its relationship to the land — now wrapped in a level of comfort you can move into without a single weekend of DIY. The kitchen was finished in a soft sage green and has real workspace, not just the illusion of it. There's room for a proper dining table, which matters when you're feeding guests after a long day on the water. The bathroom next door is fully tiled, fitted with a shower, and plumbed for a washing machine — practical details that international owners especially appreciate. Upstairs, the house opens into a central living area that connects the two bedrooms, both capable of fitting double beds, with a wood-burning stove anchoring the whole floor. On cold October weekends, when the birch trees outside turn and the archipelago empties out, that stove earns its place. The balcony off the upper level faces the sun through most of the day. In June, that m ... click here to read more
