This is life at Boholmen 220, where the rhythms of Swedish nature shape your days, yet Uppsala's urban conveniences remain just an hour away. This 106-square-meter house built in 1999 offers something increasingly rare: a genuine connection to Sweden's coastal landscapes without sacrificing modern comfort or accessibility to Stockholm, Gävle, and Uppsala's international communities. For those seeking a Swedish vacation home that functions beautifully year-round, this property delivers the authentic Scandinavian lifestyle that international buyers dream about.

Here in Tierp municipality, you discover the Sweden of forest walks, private shorelines, and communities where neighbors still gather for Midsummer celebrations. The property sits in an elevated position that captures sweeping water views while the surrounding 3,497-square-meter garden creates your private nature reserve.

Picture yourself stepping onto the terrace of your Swedish mountain retreat as the morning sun illuminates the snow-dusted peaks of Härjedalen, the crisp air carrying the scent of pine and wood smoke from your crackling stove inside. This is life in Vemdalsskalet, where your 119-square-meter timber house with two self-contained apartments awaits, offering both a personal sanctuary and a proven income stream in one of Scandinavia's most sought-after year-round vacation destinations. Built in 1957 and thoughtfully extended in 2011/2012, this semi-detached timber house represents a rare opportunity in the Swedish mountains: a property designed from the ground up for flexible vacation home ownership. The two-apartment configuration means you can live in one side while renting the other during peak ski season, or rent both apartments to cover annual costs while using the property during quieter months. The previous owners maintained a rental agreement with Boka Vemdalen, demonstrating established demand, though you're free to resume this arrangement or pivot to short-term vacation rentals as the market continues to favor owner-managed properties in this region. The right-hand apartment, expanded during the 2011/2012 renovation, centers around an open-plan living area where a wood-burning stove serves as both heat source and gathering point during those long winter evenings when darkness falls early and snow blankets the landscape outside. The kitchen's large island becomes the natural hub for preparing traditional Swedish fika or hearty dinners after days on the slopes, with seating for eight around the dining table. French doors open to a terrace where summer evenings stretch until nearly midnight, the northern latitude bl ... click here to read more

This distinctive L-shaped residence tells the story of thoughtful evolution. The original Skåne longhouse, built to shelter workers from the Glimmingehus estate, retains its authentic character—thick walls, traditional proportions, and the unpretentious charm of turn-of-the-century Swedish craftsmanship. The modern extension, however, transforms the property into something truly special for vacation living. Soaring ceilings that follow the roofline create cathedral-like volume in the living spaces, while underfloor heating throughout ensures comfort during shoulder seasons when Skåne's coast becomes quieter and more intimate.

Here’s my rewrite as a busy global real estate agent, focusing on overseas buyers, reflecting the property’s condition, lifestyle, and the local area, with purposeful minor errors in grammar and spelling, and using a story-like flow: ------------------------------------------------------- As a real estate agent working with buyers from all over the world, I want to give you a straightforward preview of this country home at Ryttarstigen 203, here in Långsand – just outside Skutskär, Sweden. I’ll be honest, I’m juggling a lot of clients these days, but this property really stand outs for buyers searching for that Swedish get-away – especially if you’re an expat or coming from overseas. The house is ready to move in but sure, it has some rooms to update, nothing too crazy though. Let me walk you through the lifestyle here and what the area’s all about, which is really important if you don’t know Sweden or this region yet. First off, Långsand is part of Älvkarleby kommun, about 10 min drive to Skutskär, pretty close to Gävle and an hour twenty-five to Stockholm for quick city visits. The area feels quiet but not remote, and is best for people who don’t mind a slower pace and appreciate a coastal feeling. This is a good choice if you want that country home atmosphere but don’t want to totally isolate yourself. The climate here is what you'd expect up north, with real seasons – snowy winters (nice for cross-country skiing and sauna life), pretty crisp spring and autumn, and summers that get a bit warm but not roasting, usually somewhere around 18-22 degrees C in July, and the long daylight is amazing in summer. Winters, again, get dark and colder (-5 or even lower sometimes), but Swedish houses are built for it. The prope ... click here to read more
