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
