Description

At the heart of Sweden's enchanting countryside, there's something truly special waiting for those longing for a slice of peaceful living. Nestled in the serene region of Vånga, part of the vibrant Norrköpings kommun, the property at Vånga Högalund 5 invites you to explore a lifestyle that's both tranquil and fulfilling. This delightful country home whispers stories of its past while providing all the modern comforts needed for today's living. Perfect for overseas buyers looking for a permanent home or perhaps a charming (though let's be careful with that word) escape from busier city life.

Originally built in the 1800s, this 68 square meter cottage has been lovingly updated to maintain its unique historic character. Recent renovations have made it a harmonious blend of yesteryear aesthetics and contemporary practicality. Whether you’re planning to reside here year-round or use it as a seasonal retreat, this cottage is ready to welcome you.

Approaching the property, one is immediately struck by the rustic nature evident in its details. There’s something genuinely heartening about the soap-scrubbed wooden floors and the meticulous linseed oil-painted woodwork. The traditional panel doors speak volumes of history while seamlessly integrating with the clay-plastered walls. The spacious living room beckons with its newly installed Westbo stove—perfect for warming those cold Swedish evenings while enjoying a cozy gathering with loved ones. It’s a room that effortlessly accommodates both relaxation and dining, offering ample space for family dinners or lazy afternoons.

The kitchen upstairs is both functional and character-driven. Here, modern amenities meet a vintage charm that doesn’t compromise on stylish appeal. It's equipped with everything you need to cook up a feast or simply enjoy a quiet breakfast. The heart of the house moves further upstairs where there are two comfortably sized bedrooms. Simple, inviting, and just waiting for you to add personal touches to turn them into your sanctuary. There's a compact but well-appointed bathroom with a shower, toilet, and washing machine ensuring convenience without clutter.

Now, let's talk about the outdoors, because what's a country home without its natural surroundings? This property comes with a fabulous outdoor setup that includes a carpenter's workshop—a space full of potential for those with a penchant for DIY or creative pursuits. A quaint chicken coop can play host to chickens, which the current owners are glad to pass on if you're interested in farm-fresh eggs. Not forgetting the root cellar, ideal for storing preserves or root vegetables year-round.

And for those who find joy in growing their own food, there’s plenty here to get your green fingers busy. Raised garden beds await planting, and there's space for a kitchen garden too. With apple trees and bursts of color from lilacs and perennials, it feels like nature's playground.

The property isn't just about the house, it's about the lifestyle it offers. Within walking distance are two picturesque lakes, perfect for summer swims or quiet reflection times. Hyttesjön is a family-friendly lake, ideal for picnics or leisurely swims. Just a little more removed from the hustle, you'll find the quieter Ören, where reaching it involves a pleasant stroll through fields, leading to relaxing rocky bathing spots.

Life here in Skärblacka is about solace without seclusion. The local village of Vånga, a mere 5 km away, offers essential services such as a preschool and primary school—convenient for families considering relocation. For further shopping and services, the town of Skärblacka is just a 12 km drive. And for those wanting more hustle and bustle, the towns of Finspång and Norrköping are easily accessible.

The climate here is a charming balance of cold winters—perfect for fireplaces and warm blankets—and mild summers, ideal for outdoor exploration and gardening. Life in a country home like this means embracing all the seasons fully, with each offering its unique beauty and activity.

Relocating here means embracing a lifestyle that is quiet yet convenient, peaceful yet practical, making it ideal for foreign buyers yearning for that delicate balance of old and new, tradition and innovation. This home isn't just a house—it's an invitation to live life at a different pace, steeped in heritage with a modern twist.

Alright, so I’ll try to give you a clear picture of this country house out in Gröttnäs, Årjäng. I’m handling a lot of interest over here, especially from buyers abroad these days, so I’ll get to the point but also try to give you enough info since I know moving or buying in Sweden can be a big step, especially if you’re an expat or looking for a country retreat. My main aim is to make sure you get a proper insight about the house, the local area, and what it’s truly like to live here—not just a glossy image. Firstly, about the house. We're looking at a Swedish country home from early last century, 1909 to be exact, and it’s sitting on a sprawling plot of just over 5 hectares – that’s big enough for plenty of privacy and gives you the real countryside feeling that people come to Sweden for. The house itself is 57 square meters, so it’s not massive, more of a cozy size—you’ll find two bedrooms, a living room, a functional kitchen (not huge, but gets the job done), plus you get an extra 25 sqm of auxiliary space. Think utility, storage, or even a teenage hangout if you like, but don’t expect those giant open-plan spaces you see in magazines. This home is more about practicality and comfort rather than showing off. Condition wise, its good—renovated to a comfortable standard, though of course, as always with places like this, you might want to add your own touches over time. Nothing really in need of serious renovation unless you dream of putting in a new kitchen or modernizing a bit more to your taste. The important stuff’s taken care of and you can move in without major worries. Living on over 5 hectares really makes a difference to daily life, especially for those coming from bigger cities or other countries where land ... click here to read more

Alright folks, here's a great oportunity. I've been runnig around showing homes left right and centre but honestly, country homes in Sweden like this hardly pop up and they always get snatched up fairly quickley, especially by those of you searching internationally for that dream summer escape in the Swedish countryside. I get lots of enquires from foreign buyers looking for something with space, a bit of privacy, and that proper countryside vibe – Svedlunds väg 1 near Lake Tisaren really hits those boxes for a good price, so let me lay it out for you while I'm between calls. So, this property is situated just outside Hallsberg, in the little area of Tisarbaden, very close to Lake Tisaren. Sweden itself is obviously known for beutiful forests and clean nature, but this area is kind of hidden away, so it’s not swarmed with tourists—you can actually enjoy some peace and quiet. Local life here is quite relaxed, you’ve got friendly neighbours but not too close, and there's a real mix of holiday cottages and permanent residents. People here keep to themselves but are always happy to lend a hand if you need to borrow a tool or need tips about fishing in the lake. The lake is a huge draw, just around 150 meters from the house, so honestly if you love swimming, paddleboarding, kayakking or just want to lounge by the water during the long Swedish summer days, this is really the perfect spot. For the fishing fans, there’s even fishing rights—including crayfish if you like those (just need to follow local regs). The boat mooring is included, which is quite handy, as gliding out on the mirror-calm lake early mornings is what owning a place like this is all about. Let me walk you through the property itself. It's not a big house – ... click here to read more

Alright, thanks for your patience – as you can perheps imagine, it’s been a busy day with showings and quick phone calls, but Im glad to give you a deeper insight into this property for you as an overseas buyer looking for a chance to make a mark in Sweden, on beautiful Gotland, just outside of Visby. You’re looking at a classic countryside opportunity—a real fixer-upper with loads of potential. The property stands on Hejdeby Suderbys 236, which sits about a 10 min drive east of Visby, in the heart of Gotland, Sweden. This house is definitely one for someone not shy of a renovation project, maybe someone with a bit of imagination who wants to bring some history back to life and create a unique home for family, or as a creative retreat, or maybe even as a base for letting out to others who want to experience rural Swedish lifestyle. This property, built way back in 1900, was constructed in the traditional Gotlandic style, with a plastered facade that’s seen a lot over the years. You’ll see the bones are solid, the house has character and authenticity, but it’s clear when you walk in that it’s time for an update. The house hasn’t had extensive modernisation, so plan some work with tools—and maybe a little patience, too. The upside to this is you’re not inheriting someone else’s rushed DIY jobs throughout, so you can properly plan and make it your own from scratch. This is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom country home, 76 sqm living space and actually with an extra 92 sqm of secondary buildings or “bonus space”, so for those with ideas for workshops, home offices, or even maybe a guest studio, there’s a bit more here to play with than you might expect at first. But, let’s be realistic – the spaces are in need of renovation, s ... click here to read more

Alright, so thanks for your patience, I’m just quickly typing this up between showings—if you’re looking at this property and thinking about making Sweden your home, or just want a little escape in the countryside, let me walk you through what we’ve actually got here at Österäng Mickelstorp 1, right outside of Götene. I work with international buyers all the time and I totally get it, relocating to another country means you wanna know what kind of area you’re buying into, what the house REALLY needs, and whether the lifestyle fits. So, let’s get into it. We’re looking at a traditional Swedish country home, a real countryside cottage (the locals would call it a “torp”), standing since 1882, and honestly, it wears its history in a good way. The house is not huge—just 51 square meters, you’ve got basically one bedroom and one bathroom—but it’s perfect for someone (or a couple) wanting a manageable spot, maybe for holidays or even as a creative retreat if work-from-home is your thing. If you’re a small family, there’s possibility to sleep more in the living area (people make it work here, trust me). The property’s in good condition, not ultra-posh or anything, but you don’t walk in and think you need to rip everything out. The original wooden floors are solid, there’s that Falu red paint outside so you get the picture-postcard look, and both the kitchen and living room have fireplaces that still get used when it’s chilly—which it can be, Sweden isn’t the Mediterranean, right? Let me paint you a little picture on daily living: mornings in summer, you can open up the veranda doors, have your coffee on the wooden deck and maybe watch a neighbor’s cows in the next field. There’s a robotic lawnmower doing its job in the backg ... click here to read more

Alright, so I’m putting this together for all you international buyers, expats and anyone looking for that quiet Swedish life not too far from Stockholm – but without all the city noise. Honestly, I’ve barely got a moment to sit and write this out because the Swedish market for country homes with real land is super busy right now, but I know how important it is for foreign buyers to really understand what this kind of life offers. So, let’s get straight to it. I want to talk about what it’s honestly like to move out here, especially for those of you coming in from warmer climates or big cities. Swedish country homes are a lot about fresh air, quiet, wooded privacy, and a bit of that simple life. This property, Brunnsåkersvägen 52 near Strängnäs, is a solid example of that classic “sommarstuga” kind of place – but unlike a lot, it’s definitely in liveable, good shape. Yes, not a big mansion or anything, but it gives you a great blank canvas without being a complete fixer-upper. If you’re thinking of relocating or having a getaway outside Stockholm, you’ll want to know the area has lakes everywhere—seriously, Sweden is full of them, and Mälaren is one of the most famous. The weather here does get all four seasons. Winters can be a bit tough if you’re not used to the cold, but I find people love the snowy landscapes, and summers are usually mild and full of long daylight hours. Expect to be outdoors a lot, whether you’re hiking, picking wild berries, or fishing out on the lake. Personally, after working all week with clients from everywhere, I sometimes wish I had more weekends free to take out a rowboat just down from this kind of property. Strängnäs itself is a medium-sized Swedish town known for that beautiful old cat ... click here to read more

Alright – let me take a moment in between showings and write you up an honest, detailed story about this special place I have out in the Swedish countryside. I’m often showing properties all over, but this one grabbed my attention for a few reasons, and it’s got that right mix for someone looking for a private home in Sweden that’s still not too far from things. I know my overseas clients have a lot of questions about area and climate, so I’ll break it all down. Let’s start with the basics and I’ll weave in my observations along the way. Located up in the north of Sweden, just outside the small but growing town of Kåge (around 10 min to Skellefteå by car), you’ll find this cottage-style country home sitting on Övägen 107. This is solid country living, but you’re not totally isolated; you get those woods and the peacful setting, but if you need milk or want a coffee out, it’s not a huge drive or hike to town. First off, the cottage isn’t massive at 48 square meters, it’s more designed for either a single or a couple, or maybe as a peaceful little retreat for someone who wants an escape from the city chaos – though you could use it as your full-time home if you like that way of life. There’s just one bedroom, but it’s roomy, and then there’s 1 bathroom that’s been updated recently. I’ve seen people convert sleepy cottages like this into a full-time home with no trouble, maybe use the upper floor for guests – it works if you want the basics plus some comfort, and don’t need extra luxury. There’s also a proper sized plot – 1,964 square meters, so if you dream of a garden (or maybe keep chickens, classic country stuff), you’ve got the space. Let’s talk features and layout, quick bullet-point style: - Approx 48 sqm interio ... click here to read more
