It's like stepping back in time when you arrive at this former soldier's cottage, set on an expansive plot of 8,483 square meters. The property embodies the quintessential Scandinavian lifestyle, where simplicity meets the elegance of nature. As you approach the main cottage, it’s impossible not to appreciate the scenic beauty that envelops it, the mature trees standing as silent witnesses to decades gone by.
The main cottage invites you into its warm embrace with three well-considered rooms, including one cozy bedroom perfect for unwinding after a long day of exploring the area. The kitchen, anchored by traditional charm, opens into a spacious living room where an open fireplace with a cassette becomes the center of cozy gatherings. The ceiling towers above, giving an extra sense of space and airiness that is both welcoming and impressive. There's something utterly whimsical about the loft that sits just overhead, adding character and that coveted extra space for your needs.
Step out into the glorious glass veranda, a place where you can lose yourself for hours, captivated by the garden views that change with each season. A spot where morning coffees and evening teas have a touch of magic, enabling you to witness the beauty that nature unfolds.
Accommodating guests is a pleasure with an additional guest house featuring a fully tiled bathroom, a sauna for those relaxing steam sessions, a cozy bedroom, and an inviting wooden deck that extends your living space into the great outdoors. There's even further accommodation potential up on the higher grounds of the plot with another guest cottage.
Amidst the blooming sanctuary of the lush garden, you’ll find a diverse selection of plants including ginkgo, Chinese sequoia, magnolia, and the elegant real walnut, all carefully selected to blend with the sun-drenched setting. Fruit orchards laden with apples, pears, and cherries, not to mention a cornucopia of currants and gooseberries, offer a perpetual harvest house, promising a lifestyle of fresh, home-grown bounty.
