Picture this: a Saturday morning in late June, pale Nordic light filtering through hand-printed wallpaper at six a.m., the smell of birch smoke drifting up from the kitchen's wood-burning stove, and absolute silence outside — except for the soft shuffle of ducks settling onto the garden pond. That's what mornings feel like at this 18th-century country house in Stjärnhov, just outside Gnesta in Södermanland. It's a rare thing, a property that actually delivers on the rural Sweden fantasy rather than just hinting at it. The house sits on 4,299 square meters of mature garden in Herrökna Sofielund, a quiet hamlet surrounded by forest and farmland roughly 80 kilometers southwest of Stockholm. From the capital you're looking at just over an hour by car, or a train to Gnesta station followed by a short drive. For buyers based in Stockholm who want a proper country escape without the half-day journey, this area — locally called Sörmland — is something of an open secret. The land rolls gently here, dotted with red-painted timber houses, small lakes, and riding trails through spruce forest. No dramatic mountains, no coastal circus. Just unhurried Swedish countryside at its most honest. The garden alone makes this place worth serious attention. Whoever planted it thought long and hard: established fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, herb patches near the kitchen door, climbing roses over the wooden fence, and a pond with enough depth to attract frogs in spring and ice-skaters' shadows in February. Gravel paths loop between beds of peonies, hollyhocks, and what appears to be a small cutting garden for the house. It's the kind of garden that has its own rhythm through the seasons — you're not maintaining it so much as participating ... click here to read more

Stand on the plot at Måsvägen 31 on a Tuesday morning in late May and the birch trees are already full and loud with wood pigeons. The water is just 500 meters away—you can't see it yet through the pines, but you can smell it. That particular mix of cold saltwater and sun-warmed granite that defines the Stockholm archipelago. This is Strömma, a quiet fold of Värmdö municipality where you don't arrive accidentally. You come because you've heard about it from someone who has a place out here and won't stop talking about it. The house itself was built in 1958 and it shows its age in all the right ways—solid bones, a low roofline that sits comfortably in the landscape, and windows that frame the surrounding greenery like paintings. Forty-three square meters, two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's compact, but it's fully winterized, which in this corner of Sweden means something real: you can be here in February when the ice on the canal turns blue-white and the thermometer drops below minus ten, and the house holds warmth. Swedes build for winter the way coastal Italians build for earthquakes. This place has been doing its job for over sixty years. What makes Måsvägen 31 genuinely different from most holiday properties in this price range isn't the house—it's the land and what you can do with it. The plot runs to 2,925 square meters, which is a serious piece of ground. It backs directly onto a large public green area, so the sense of space extends far beyond the legal boundary. And the building rights here are unusually generous: up to 250 square meters of building footprint (BYA), a total gross floor area of 360 square meters across all floors, a permitted height of 6.5 meters, plus additional outbuildings up to 80 square meter ... click here to read more

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in September, the smell of pine drifting in through the bedroom window, the surface of Bullaresjön completely still. You pull on a sweater, put coffee on, and stand at the kitchen window watching the mist lift off the water. That's not a fantasy—that's a Tuesday here at Klageröd 5, in one of Bohuslän's quieter, less tourist-trampled corners. Bullaren sits in Tanums kommun, about 20 kilometers inland from the dramatic granite coastline of the Swedish west coast. If you know the area, you already know why people keep coming back. If you don't, here's the short version: it's the kind of place where your phone starts feeling irrelevant by mid-afternoon. The house itself is a single-story 78-square-meter property in solid condition—renovated, clean, and genuinely move-in ready. Two bedrooms, one well-fitted bathroom with a proper shower, and an open-plan living and dining area built around a wood-burning fireplace. That fireplace isn't decorative. Come November, when the temperature drops and the lake turns gunmetal grey, it's the center of the whole house. Evenings are spent there. Long weekends are organized around it. There's a reason Swedish interior culture puts such stock in the concept of eldstad—a real fire changes the character of a room entirely. The kitchen has been updated without losing the practical, unfussy character that Swedish country homes do so well. Enough counter space to actually cook a proper meal—and you will, because the local food culture here is built around doing exactly that. The village store in nearby Östad stocks local honey, smoked meats, and seasonal produce. In summer, the roadside stands along Route 163 sell strawberries and new potatoes by the ki ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the first thing you notice is the smell of warm pine resin. Not the synthetic kind you find in a candle — the real thing, rising from the forest floor as the sun climbs over the eastern gable of this 1969 house in Havängs Sommarby. The birds are already going. Somewhere down the lane, a bicycle bell rings once and fades. This is what summer sounds like in Österlen. Havängsvägen 6 sits on a freehold plot of 1,289 square meters in one of the genuinely rare corners of Swedish coastal property — Havängs Sommarby, a small community tucked between Kivik and Brösarp on the Skåne coast. Freehold plots in this particular village are uncommon. Most of the surrounding vacation properties sit on leasehold land, which makes this one a different proposition entirely for buyers who want clean, uncomplicated ownership. The same family held it for over fifty years. That kind of tenure tells you something about a place. The house runs to 79 square meters across one and a half floors, sensibly arranged with two bedrooms on the ground level, both catching morning light through south- and east-facing windows. The open living room pulls you in with original wooden floors and a proper fireplace — the kind that makes an October weekend here feel genuinely cosy rather than just possible. There's something quietly satisfying about a house that still has its original bones intact. The spiral staircase leads up to a third bedroom tucked into the eastern gable, and beyond that, an attic space with real potential for conversion if the family grows or the guest list expands. The kitchen is compact but works well — room for a small table, good light, the kind of setup where breakfast happens unhurriedly and nobody ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning here is the light. By seven o'clock it's already cutting low and golden across Bräckeviken, bouncing off the water and right through the kitchen window while the wood-burning stove crackles to life. That's the rhythm of a day at Vårviks-Backa Bräcke 1 — unhurried, deeply Swedish, and utterly removed from the noise of ordinary life. Set on a 5,510-square-metre plot in the Dalsland region of western Sweden, this 1840s farmstead sits just 150 metres from the calm inlet of Bräckeviken, which feeds directly into the celebrated Dalsland Canal. The canal — a 250-kilometre waterway connecting dozens of lakes across Värmland and Dalsland — is one of Scandinavia's great slow-travel routes, and having it practically at your doorstep changes the texture of daily life in ways that are hard to overstate. You can kayak from the property's public jetty to the next village before breakfast. You can watch narrowboats drift past in the evening from the terrace, awning cranked out, glass in hand. The main house is 110 square metres of considered, authentic renovation. The original structure from 1840 has been kept honest — thick walls, low doorways, the kind of spatial logic that only comes from buildings that have weathered nearly two centuries of Swedish winters. Walk into the kitchen and the centrepiece is a traditional wood-burning stove with a proper baking oven. Not decorative. Actually used. The smell of fresh bread on a Sunday morning in here is reason enough to buy the place. The living room is anchored by a Royal Viking fireplace, a cast-iron Swedish classic that throws serious heat and creates the kind of amber glow on a November evening that you'll remember long after you've gone ... click here to read more

Main house and garden with lake view

The first thing you notice on a July morning is the light. It comes off Valdemarsviken early — pale gold, almost white — and it finds its way through those big water-facing windows before most people are awake. You're standing in the kitchen, the wood stove ticking with the last of last night's birch logs, and the bay is out there doing that glassy, still thing it does before the wind picks up. That's the daily reality of owning Lövudden Kaptensbostället. Built in 1909 as a captain's residence, this four-bedroom house carries its age well. Not in a dusty, museum way — the original pine floors still have their warmth, the paneled walls still have their craft — but in the way that a well-sailed boat does. Things were built to last here. The bones are honest. Set on a 1,909 square meter plot at the edge of Lövudden, the property sits just 50 meters from the shoreline on Valdemarsviken, the long sheltered inlet that cuts into the eastern Östergötland coast. The plot itself is thick with mature trees — mainly birch and pine — that create a natural screen between you and the outside world. Somewhere in there, wood pigeons call back and forth through the afternoon. The garden has multiple spots where you can watch the water change color through the day, from silver-grey at dawn to deep blue by afternoon to something almost copper when the sun drops behind the ridge. The house stretches across 107 square meters of thoughtfully arranged living space. A later extension gave the ground floor a proper living and dining room with large windows that frame the bay like a painting you never get tired of. This is the room where winters happen — long dark evenings with the wood stove going, candles on the table, the kind of coziness th ... click here to read more

Early morning in Grovstanäs, and the light does something extraordinary. It comes off the water — just 150 meters down the path — and hits the upper floor of the house at an angle that fills the L-shaped living room with the kind of gold you can't manufacture with interior design. By the time the coffee is ready, you're sitting in a bay window with a view of the garden, listening to nothing in particular. That's the rhythm this place sets from day one. Edsviksvägen 32 sits quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac on the Grovstanäs peninsula, one of the lesser-known gems tucked into the Stockholm archipelago north of the city. It's not a secret exactly — locals know it well — but it hasn't been overrun the way some coastal spots closer to Stockholm have. The community here has its own boat harbors, a boules court, a football field, and walking trails that cut through the pine and birch toward the rocky shoreline. It has the feel of a place people have protected on purpose. The main house covers 88 square meters across the entrance level, with an additional 45 square meters of finished basement below — 133 square meters total. The upper floor layout is open and well-proportioned: that generous living room, a proper kitchen with enough counter space to actually cook in, a dining area in the bay window that catches afternoon sun, a large bedroom, and a shower room. It's a floor plan that works for two people or easily absorbs a family for a summer. Nothing about it feels cramped or compromised. Downstairs, the basement opens up the possibilities considerably. There's a large family room down here that, with a partition, becomes two additional sleeping areas — useful if you're hosting more guests than the guest house can handle. ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace at Hällebäck 642 on a clear September evening and you'll understand immediately why people fall so hard for this particular corner of the Swedish west coast. The Gullmarn fjord catches the last of the light below you, the Stångenäset peninsula stretches out in the middle distance, and the birch forest on the hillside has just started turning gold. It's quiet up here — genuinely quiet — apart from the occasional sound of water and wind moving through the trees. This is a 108-square-metre house on the elevated terrain of Bokenäs, a peninsula jutting out between the fjord and the sea north of Uddevalla. Built in 1953 and carefully updated since, it sits on a 1,382-square-metre plot at a height that gives it uninterrupted westward views — the kind you normally only find on properties that cost three times as much. What makes this particular spot work so well is the way the hill opens up exactly where the house sits. Forest on three sides, open sky to the west. You get privacy and panorama at the same time, which in this part of Bohuslän is genuinely hard to find. The interior has been laid out with real intelligence. The kitchen and living room share an open-plan space at the heart of the house, with large windows pulling that fjord view straight into your daily life. Morning coffee here is accompanied by whatever the water is doing that day — glassy and pale in early spring, dark and restless in November, blindingly bright on a July afternoon. The terrace comes off this main living space and feels, from certain angles, like it's floating above the canopy. Evenings out there with a bottle of something cold and the sun going down over the fjord are the kind of thing you'll describe to friends back home ... click here to read more

Step out onto the back deck on a Saturday morning in July and you'll understand immediately. The smell of pine warming in the sun, the faint splash of someone diving off the rocks at Säbyviken a few minutes' walk down the trail, and nothing — genuinely nothing — competing for your attention. Platåslingan 25 on Ingarö sits at that rare intersection of true Swedish archipelago wilderness and real, year-round livability. It's not a summer cottage you winterize and abandon in October. People actually live here, all year, and you can feel it. The house itself was built in 1972, and it has that honest, no-fuss Scandinavian practicality that holds up remarkably well. At 47 square meters, it doesn't try to be more than it is — compact, well-planned, and genuinely comfortable. The open fireplace in the living room is the anchor of the whole place. Come February, when frost edges the birch trees outside and the archipelago goes quiet and still, that fireplace stops being a feature and starts being the point. You light it after a ski track session out on the frozen inlets, pour something warm, and the room closes around you in the best possible way. Large windows pull in more light than you'd expect for a structure this size. The kitchen sits open to the living area — practical for actual cooking, not just aesthetic — and the two bedrooms are calm, private, and sensibly proportioned. One bathroom with shower. Everything where it should be, nothing extraneous. What makes this property genuinely unusual for its price point is the land and the secondary structure. The plot runs to 2,914 square meters, much of it characterful bedrock and mature Swedish forest — the kind of granite-and-pine combination that defines the Värmdö coastli ... click here to read more

Late afternoon on a July Saturday, the southwest sun pours through the glass-enclosed patio and turns the pine floorboards a deep amber. You've just come back from Björknäs's little beach — kids still sandy, everyone hungry — and the kitchen smells of whatever went into the cast-iron pan twenty minutes ago. That's the rhythm this house runs on. Easy, unhurried, genuinely Swedish. Björknäs sits inside Roslagen, the long, ragged stretch of coastline northeast of Stockholm that locals have been quietly escaping to for generations. It's not the flashy archipelago of postcards — it's better. Unpretentious timber cottages tucked between birch stands, narrow lanes that end at sheltered coves, the smell of pine resin on a warm afternoon. The community here is tight enough to feel like a village but relaxed enough that nobody bothers you. The kind of place where your neighbours wave from their garden and then leave you alone. The house itself was built in 1972 and sits on a 1,765 square metre plot — a genuinely generous footprint for this part of Roslagen. There's a real sense of privacy here. The garden mixes mown lawn with wilder natural patches that attract butterflies and the occasional hedgehog, and sunlight tracks across it for most of the day given the open southwest aspect. In June, when the Swedish light goes on until 10pm, evenings out here take on a quality that's hard to describe to anyone who hasn't sat in Scandinavian summer dusk with a cold drink and nowhere to be. Inside, 48 square metres sounds compact on paper. In practice, the layout uses every centimetre thoughtfully. The kitchen was completely gutted and rebuilt in 2019 — new cabinets, new surfaces, proper appliances — and it connects directly to that glas ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the timber house

The first thing you notice on a July morning at Mistralvägen 4 is the light. It comes sideways through the pines, catches the wooden floors, and lands on the kitchen table in a way that makes you want to sit down and stay forever. Then the smell hits — salt air and warm timber and something faintly floral from the plot outside. You haven't even made coffee yet. This 1958 holiday home in Gotlands Tofta is one of those rare finds: a proper old Swedish sommarhus on a genuine plot of 2,449 square meters, priced honestly, and sitting within easy reach of Tofta Beach — one of the longest and most loved stretches of sand on the entire island of Gotland. It's 61 square meters of authentic character distributed over one and a half floors, and every square meter earns its keep. Step inside and the living room does what good rooms do — it draws you in. Exposed ceiling beams, wide wooden floorboards, a fireplace insert that crackles to life in late September when the tourists have gone and the island belongs to you. The large windows look out toward the sea — not a full panorama, but a real, honest glimpse that reminds you exactly where you are. On clear evenings, the light off the water turns everything amber. The kitchen sits next to the living room, functional and unhurried, with enough bench space to put together a proper meal. Gotland is serious about its food: local lamb from the heathland, saffron pancakes from the Saturday market in Visby, chanterelles picked from the woods just down the road in August. A kitchen like this — practical, with room for a dining table — is where those ingredients come to life. A walkthrough room with built-in wardrobes handles the coats and kayak gear and everything else that accumulates duri ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the cross-country ski trail is literally at the edge of the garden. No bus, no car park, no queue. Just fresh tracks across the marsh and the kind of cold air that makes your lungs feel alive. That's the daily reality at Kremlavägen 5 in Lindvallen — one of the most practical, genuinely versatile mountain properties to come onto the market in Sälen's prime ski zone in years. Sälen doesn't get the international attention it deserves. Swedes know it well — this is where the Vasaloppet ski race ends its 90-kilometer journey from Sälen to Mora every March, drawing 15,000 skiers and creating an atmosphere unlike anything else in Scandinavia. But beyond that iconic event, the wider Lindvallen area operates at full pace from November through April, with downhill slopes, lit cross-country tracks, and the ski-and-swim bus running circuits that connect the valley's resorts. In summer, the same roads and trails flip their purpose entirely: mountain bikers take over, hikers tackle the marked routes up towards Städjan and Nipfjället, and the long Nordic evenings stretch past 10pm. The property itself sits in the Gubbmyren part of Lindvallen, which matters because this pocket of the valley has managed to hold onto its natural character. The marsh that runs alongside the garden isn't just scenery — it's where the cross-country groomed track passes directly, making ski-out access a literal fact rather than a marketing stretch. On still mornings you hear reindeer moving through the birch trees on the far side. In peak autumn, the marsh turns rust and amber, and the smell of cold peat drifts in through the kitchen window. The house is split across two connected residential units totalling 111 squa ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house in winter

Picture this: it's seven in the morning, the air smells of pine resin and salt, and you're walking barefoot across sun-warmed granite toward the water with a coffee in hand. That's not a fantasy — that's a Tuesday in July at Bastuvägen 20. Resö is one of those places that Swedes quietly keep to themselves. A small island off the Bohuslän coast in Tanum municipality, connected to the mainland by a bridge, it sits right alongside Kosterhavet — Sweden's first and only marine national park. The water here is some of the clearest on the entire west coast. Local fishermen still pull langoustines and prawns from the Skagerrak, and you can buy them straight off the boat at the harbor before lunch. That kind of detail tells you everything about what life on this island actually feels like. The cottage at Bastuvägen 20 was built in 1970 and covers 64 square meters across a layout that makes sensible use of every room. Three bedrooms, a living room, a proper kitchen, and one bathroom — nothing wasted, nothing missing. Large windows and glass doors pull the outside in. On a clear summer morning, light floods through the glass and hits the timber walls in a way that makes the place feel twice as big as it is. The traditional Swedish timber construction keeps things cool in summer and surprisingly snug when autumn rolls in off the water. The plot itself is 1,114 square meters — generous by any measure, and particularly so for an island property of this caliber. There are multiple seating areas scattered around the garden, each catching the sun at a different hour of the day. It's the sort of layout you discover slowly: one corner for morning coffee, another for evening wine when the light goes golden over the treetops. Children hav ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and garden

Early on a Saturday morning in late June, the light here does something unusual. It arrives soft and low through the birch trees, lands on the kitchen table, and just stays there. The canal is maybe six hundred meters down the road. You can hear it if the wind is right — not the sea itself, but the particular quiet that water brings to a place. That's what Måsvägen 16 feels like from the moment you walk onto the plot. Not a resort. Not a staged showroom. Just a genuinely good piece of Swedish archipelago land, with a solid little house on it, waiting for someone to decide what comes next. Strömma sits in the middle of Värmdö municipality, which stretches east from Stockholm into the Baltic archipelago along the E18 corridor. This is one of the most sought-after second-home areas in Sweden for a reason that locals rarely need to explain — you're thirty-odd kilometers from Sergels Torg, yet you're watching ospreys circle above the treeline. That contrast never gets old. The commuter boat from nearby Stavsnäs or the direct bus connections via Gustavsberg mean Stockholm isn't a schlep, it's just a decision. Most weekends, that decision gets delayed until Sunday evening. The property itself sits on 2,611 square meters of mostly natural plot — mature spruce, birch, and low-growing juniper framing a grassy open center that catches afternoon sun until well past eight in summer. The main house, built in 1959 and winterized for year-round use, covers around 50 square meters across four rooms. It's functional and honest. No grand renovation has been forced upon it, which means the bones are intact and the choices about what comes next are entirely yours. The guest house tucked on the plot adds flexibility immediately — use it for ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells of pine resin warming in the sun. Värmdö's bedrock — smooth, grey, and ancient — catches the light just beyond the kitchen window. The archipelago is literally down the road, 350 metres away across the grass, and Torsbyfjärden glitters through the treeline like something you'd only expect to find in a travel magazine. This is Södernäsvägen 22. And it's as real as it gets. The plot alone stops people in their tracks. Three thousand, one hundred and thirteen square metres of natural Swedish landscape — exposed rock shelves, flat grassy clearings, birch and pine threading the edges. It shares a boundary with a public green area, which means the land to one side can never be built on. Rare. The elevated ground catches sun from morning through late afternoon, and in Swedish summer, that matters enormously — you're talking about evenings that stretch past 10pm with enough warmth to sit outside with a glass of something cold and still feel the day on your skin. The timber house itself was built in 1972 and has been kept in good condition over the decades. There's a warmth to these older Swedish summer houses that newer builds rarely replicate — the wood has settled, the proportions feel human-scale, and the open fireplace in the living room is the kind of feature you don't realise you need until you're sitting in front of it on a grey October weekend with rain tapping on the roof. The living room flows into the kitchen-dining area, practical and unpretentious, and the bedroom is generously sized for a house of 55 square metres. One bathroom. Everything you actually need, nothing you don't. What makes this property genuinely versatile is the outbuilding. Currently split betwee ... click here to read more

Picture yourself sipping morning coffee on an east-facing balcony as the first rays of sunlight filter through the pine trees, the scent of sea salt drifting up from the nearby waters of the Stockholm archipelago. This is the daily ritual that awaits at this 64-square-meter retreat in Saltarö, where Swedish coastal living meets practical vacation home ownership on a commanding 2,644-square-meter elevated plot just 40 minutes from Stockholm's city center. Nestled in the sought-after Värmdö archipelago, this property represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own a holiday home with both main residence and guest cottage in one of Sweden's most accessible yet authentically tranquil coastal communities. The main house and separate friggebod create versatile accommodation options for extended family gatherings, rental income potential, or simply hosting friends who inevitably want to visit once they experience your Swedish island retreat. The heart of the main residence is an open-plan living space flooded with natural light from three directions, creating that coveted Scandinavian brightness that transforms even gray winter days into cozy havens. The modern kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area, where glass doors open directly onto a southwest-facing terrace that captures the precious afternoon and evening sun. During Sweden's endless summer evenings, this outdoor space becomes an extension of your living area, perfect for grilling fresh-caught fish or simply watching the light linger until nearly midnight during midsummer weeks. Two comfortable bedrooms provide flexible sleeping arrangements, while the practical bathroom positioned near the entrance serves both daily needs and post-swim cleanups after visits ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping onto your wooden terrace at dawn, steam rising from your coffee mug as the first golden rays illuminate the mountain peaks framing your private forest plot. The crisp Swedish mountain air fills your lungs, pine-scented and impossibly pure, while the distant sound of a stream reminds you that this 3-bedroom log cabin in Vemdalsskalet is now your gateway to authentic Scandinavian alpine living. Just 650 meters from ski slopes yet cocooned by mature trees, this 84-square-meter retreat offers something increasingly rare: immediate access to world-class mountain recreation without sacrificing the peaceful seclusion that defines the Nordic vacation home experience. This is where your Swedish adventure begins, whether you're seeking a family holiday home, a rental investment property, or a year-round escape from urban life. The cabin's 865-square-meter plot creates a natural sanctuary where children can explore safely, summer barbecues extend into long Nordic twilight evenings, and winter mornings begin with views of snow-laden branches against impossibly blue skies. This isn't just property ownership; it's securing your place in one of Scandinavia's most celebrated mountain communities, where generations of families return season after season to reconnect with nature and each other. The thoughtful four-room layout accommodates diverse needs: one ground-floor bedroom ideal for guests or reduced mobility, two upstairs bedrooms providing family privacy, and a spacious entrance hall that functions as mudroom, gear storage, and transition space between mountain adventures and cabin comfort. The open-plan kitchen and living area forms the heart of this vacation home, where wooden paneling wraps walls and ce ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a July morning is the light. It comes off Valdemarsviken early — pale gold, almost white — and it finds its way through those big water-facing windows before most people are awake. You're standing in the kitchen, the wood stove ticking with the last of last night's birch logs, and the bay is out there doing that glassy, still thing it does before the wind picks up. That's the daily reality of owning Lövudden Kaptensbostället. Built in 1909 as a captain's residence, this four-bedroom house carries its age well. Not in a dusty, museum way — the original pine floors still have their warmth, the paneled walls still have their craft — but in the way that a well-sailed boat does. Things were built to last here. The bones are honest. Set on a 1,909 square meter plot at the edge of Lövudden, the property sits just 50 meters from the shoreline on Valdemarsviken, the long sheltered inlet that cuts into the eastern Östergötland coast. The plot itself is thick with mature trees — mainly birch and pine — that create a natural screen between you and the outside world. Somewhere in there, wood pigeons call back and forth through the afternoon. The garden has multiple spots where you can watch the water change color through the day, from silver-grey at dawn to deep blue by afternoon to something almost copper when the sun drops behind the ridge. The house stretches across 107 square meters of thoughtfully arranged living space. A later extension gave the ground floor a proper living and dining room with large windows that frame the bay like a painting you never get tired of. This is the room where winters happen — long dark evenings with the wood stove going, candles on the table, the kind of coziness th ... click here to read more
