Description

Early July morning. You push open the glazed veranda door and the birch forest breathes cool air straight into the kitchen. Somewhere across the water, a loon calls. The wood stove still holds last night's warmth. This is what mornings at Morhagsvägen 70 & 72 actually feel like — and once you've had a few of them, going back to the city gets harder every time.

Sunnansjö sits in the Ludvika municipality of Dalarna, one of Sweden's most storied provinces, and this particular corner of it rewards the people who find it. The property sits in Morhagen, a small lakeshore community right on the edge of Lake Väsman — a deep, clean glacial lake that locals have been swimming, fishing, and paddling on for generations. The house itself is compact and well-kept, around 40 square metres, but the land it comes with is anything but small. Two separate cadastral plots — Sunnansjö 108:24 at 1,643 sqm and Sunnansjö 108:25 at 1,553 sqm — combine for just over 3,196 sqm of mixed lawn and natural woodland. That's a lot of Sweden to call your own.

The cottage is designed with the kind of honest practicality that Scandinavian summer houses do best. Open-plan living room and kitchen keep things social — you're never marooned in a separate room while everyone else is talking. A wood-burning stove anchors the living area, and on grey October afternoons when the light drops early and the forest goes quiet, it earns its place completely. The bedroom is comfortable and private, and the bathroom comes with an eco-friendly incineration toilet — sensible for a property this size in this setting, and entirely maintenance-friendly for owners who aren't here every week.

The glazed veranda is where you'll spend most of your waking hours. Facing out toward the garden and the trees, it extends the living space through three seasons without any real effort. Morning coffee, long lunches, after-swim towel-dry sessions — it handles all of it. Large windows throughout the main cottage pull in natural light and give you forest views from almost every angle.

What makes this property more interesting than a straightforward one-bedroom cabin is what else sits on the land. A two-storey barn — a traditional Swedish herebre — has been converted into guest sleeping quarters, with custom-built beds on the upper floor. Slightly rustic, genuinely characterful, and perfect for kids or guests who actually want a bit of adventure rather than just another hotel-style room. A separate smaller cottage currently runs as a workshop but has a built-in bunk bed already in place, so reverting it to guest use is a simple conversation rather than a construction project. An outdoor toilet adjacent to this building gives guests their own facilities. There's also a practical tool and storage shed for kayaks, fishing gear, skis, and all the equipment that life in this landscape tends to accumulate.

Dalarna as a region carries real weight in Swedish culture. The Midsommar celebrations here — particularly around Lake Siljan to the north — draw people from across the country. The Vasaloppet cross-country ski race, the world's oldest and largest at 90 kilometres, starts in Sälen and finishes in Mora, both within comfortable driving range. But day-to-day life around Sunnansjö doesn't need a festival to justify itself. The forests behind the property are thick with chanterelles from late July through September — locals know which clearings, and after a season or two, you will too. Blueberries arrive earlier, coating the low scrub along every forest trail.

Lake Väsman is swimmable and genuinely lovely for kayaking. The water is clear, the shoreline is quiet, and the sunsets — viewed from the veranda or from a canoe mid-lake — have a particular quality that Dalarna's long summer evenings make possible. Fishing here yields pike and perch without much drama. Winter changes the picture entirely: the lake freezes, the trails go white, and the cross-country skiing network at Ljungåsen and Gyllbergen opens up, including lit evening tracks that let you go out after dark when the air is cold and the stars are sharp. Downhill skiing at Romme Alpin near Borlänge and Säfsen outside Filipstad are both around 40 minutes by car — close enough for a day trip, far enough that the crowds don't arrive at your door.

For day-to-day needs, the village of Sunnansjö is a short drive and has a grocery store and café. Ludvika town centre — 15 minutes away — covers everything else: supermarkets, restaurants, a hospital, hardware stores, and a train station with connections toward Stockholm (roughly 2.5 to 3 hours by rail) and Gothenburg. Falun and Borlänge, Dalarna's main urban centres, are around 45 minutes west.

For international buyers, Sweden has no restrictions on foreign property ownership, and the purchase process is relatively straightforward with a licensed estate agent and a bank-issued mortgage if needed. The property is sold in good condition and move-in ready — no renovation budget required before your first summer. The dual-plot structure also gives future flexibility: the second plot could potentially be developed separately, subject to municipal planning approval, though many buyers will simply want the land as a buffer and a garden.

At 97,500 EUR, this is one of the more accessible entry points into Swedish lakeside property. Comparable holiday homes on Lake Väsman and similar Dalarna lakes have seen steady interest from both domestic and international buyers over the past several years, driven partly by the post-pandemic shift toward second-home ownership and the enduring appeal of Swedish countryside life. Rental income is a realistic option for weeks you're not in residence — Dalarna attracts visitors year-round, and a well-maintained cabin with lake proximity and ski access rents reliably.

- Year-round holiday house in good condition, approximately 40 sqm
- Two plots totalling 3,196 sqm of mixed lawn and birch woodland
- Open-plan kitchen and living room with wood-burning stove
- Glazed veranda with forest and garden outlook

If you've been thinking about a second home in Sweden — somewhere that actually delivers on the promise of birch forests, cold lakes, and the particular silence of a Dalarna winter — this property on Morhagsvägen is worth a serious look. The lifestyle it offers isn't aspirational. It's already here, and it's been running quietly for years. The current owners are simply ready to pass it on.

Reach out through Homestra to arrange a viewing or request the full property documentation. Properties at this price point on Lake Väsman don't sit for long, and this one has genuine breadth — the land, the outbuildings, the year-round accessibility — that makes it harder to replicate than it looks on paper.

The woodstove clicks and settles. Outside the kitchen window, the surface of Åkersjön is dead calm, pale silver in the early morning light, and the only sound is the occasional thud of snow falling from a pine branch. This is what winter feels like at Vallrun 524 — a 45-square-metre cabin built in 1966 that has been quietly doing its job for decades: keeping people warm, fed, and deeply glad they came. This is a proper Swedish stuga. Not a glossy renovation project dressed up for Instagram, but a genuine, lived-in retreat that works in every season and asks almost nothing of you. At 76,500 EUR, it's one of the more honest opportunities you'll find for a second home in Scandinavia. The cabin sits on a 1,303 square metre plot in the Vallrun area of Åkersjön, inside Krokoms kommun in the heart of Jämtland — a county that Swedes have been treating as their wilderness playground for generations. Two bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the living room means you can sleep six people comfortably. The kitchen runs on a wood-burning stove, which sounds quaint until the temperature drops to minus fifteen and you realise it's the most reassuring thing in the world. The living room fireplace handles the atmosphere side of things: after a full day on ski trails or out on the lake, coming back to an open fire isn't a luxury, it's just the right way to end the day. What sets this property apart from a standard cabin listing is what sits alongside the main building. A separate outbuilding contains both a shower and a sauna — a pairing that, in this part of Sweden, is completely non-negotiable for serious outdoor people. Snowmobile back across the lake at dusk, peel off your gear, step into the sauna, and then stand outside in the snow for thi ... click here to read more

On a quiet Tuesday morning in early October, you crack open the kitchen window and the smell hits you first — wet grass, wood smoke from somewhere nearby, and that particular clean-cold edge that Swedish autumn air carries before the frost sets in. The fields stretching out beyond the garden are turning gold. A crow lands on the fence post. Nothing else moves. This is Bjäraryd, and once you've spent a week here, the city starts to feel like the foreign place. The house at Bjärarydsvägen 684 was built in 1909, and it carries that age in the best possible way. Not in a tired, creaking-floorboards sense — it's been genuinely updated and is ready to walk into — but in the way that old Swedish country homes hold their shape. The walls are thick. The proportions feel considered. There's a solidity here that you just don't get in anything built after 1980. Step into the living room and the first thing you'll notice is the ceiling. Vaulted, clad in wood, it opens the room up in a way that makes the 67 square metres feel considerably more generous than the number suggests. An exposed brick wall anchors one side of the space, and a wood-burning stove sits against it — the kind you actually use, not for show. Come January, when the temperature outside drops to minus ten and the fields are white, that stove becomes the centre of the entire house. A spiral staircase winds up to a loft above, practical for storage or a reading nook, and skylights push daylight down into the room from above. In midsummer, with the sun barely setting before it rises again, the light in here at 10pm is genuinely something. The kitchen keeps things honest — white cabinetry, dark tiled floor, clean lines, open to the dining area so that whoever's cookin ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in October, the birch trees outside the window have gone full amber, and you're standing at the kitchen counter with a mug of coffee, listening to absolutely nothing except wind moving through the pines. That's the specific kind of quiet this place delivers. Not the performative quiet of a spa hotel, but the real thing — a 1,140-square-metre plot on Ferievägen in Björkliden, surrounded by the kind of southern Swedish forest that smells like rain and resin and green things. Björkliden sits within Örkelljunga municipality in northern Skåne, a part of Sweden that most international visitors skip entirely in favor of Malmö or Copenhagen — which is precisely why it still feels genuinely unhurried. The roads here are narrow and tree-lined. Neighbors wave. The local ICA in Örkelljunga town center, a 10-minute drive away, stocks cloudberry jam and knäckebröd alongside the everyday essentials. There's a certain rhythm to life out here that you start to feel within the first afternoon. The house itself was built in 1969 and carries that era's honest, no-frills construction — solid timber frame, low-pitched roof, windows that sit wide and low to pull in the landscape. At 65 square metres of living space with an additional 18 square metres of auxiliary area, it's compact in the best possible sense: everything is within arm's reach, nothing feels excessive, and the maintenance bill stays manageable even when you're back home in Berlin or Amsterdam or Edinburgh. This is a second home that works with your life rather than demanding to be your entire focus. Step inside and the fireplace stops you immediately. It anchors the main living room — not some decorative insert, but a proper wood-burning ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a quiet Sunday morning in Kyrkbyn is the silence. Not the absence of sound, but the specific texture of Swedish countryside quiet — a wood pigeon somewhere in the birches, the faint creak of the old barn settling, the smell of birch smoke drifting from the kitchen stove. This is what you came for. This 1890 torp at Kyrkbyn 544 is one of those rare properties that hasn't been sandpapered into a glossy weekend retreat. It still has edges, history, and the particular warmth that only comes from a house that has been genuinely lived in and genuinely loved. At 110 square metres, the layout is tight in the best sense. Nothing wasted. The entrance hall is wide enough to hang wet jackets and kick off muddy boots after a walk through the forest — because you will be doing that regularly. From there, the dining room and living room open into each other with an easy, unhurried flow. The tiled stove commands the room. Cast-iron and kaolin, it radiates heat the way no modern radiator ever quite manages — slowly, evenly, staying warm long after the fire dies down. Light a fire in October and feel the whole ground floor respond within the hour. The kitchen is the soul of this house. Generations of Swedish country kitchens share this DNA: deep windowsills, broad work surfaces, a wood-burning stove for slow-cooking, a traditional pantry cold enough to keep butter firm without refrigeration through much of the year. The table in here is not a breakfast nook — it seats a crowd. Lingonberry jam on rye, coffee so strong it could stain the mug, late summer evenings when the light turns gold and doesn't quite set until near midnight. These are the rhythms Kyrkbyn 544 is built around. Upstairs, two bedrooms and ... click here to read more

You wake up to the sound of nothing. Not the traffic kind of nothing, but the real kind — a woodpecker somewhere deep in the pines, water lapping at the shore fifty meters down the slope, and the faint creak of the house settling in the morning air. You put the coffee on in the kitchen, glance through the wide window at the lake below, and wonder, not for the first time, why it took you so long to find this place. Götuddevägen 39 sits on a generous 2,396-square-meter plot on the edge of Göten, a small lakeside community tucked into the heart of Östergötland County in central Sweden. It's the kind of address that doesn't come up often — elevated, private, with an uninterrupted water view and no neighbors close enough to interrupt the quiet. The main house, 58 square meters built in 1993, is compact but genuinely livable. Large windows pull the lake view right into the living room, so even on a grey November afternoon you feel connected to the landscape outside. The kitchen is practical without being spartan. The bedroom handles a double bed with room to spare. Everything works, everything is maintained, and nothing demands immediate attention — this is move-in ready, not a project. What makes the property genuinely unusual is the second residential building on the same plot. This isn't a garden shed. It's a proper additional structure with real utility — guest accommodation for summer visitors, a workspace for anyone who takes remote work seriously, or a hobby studio that keeps the mess out of the main house. And there's a guest cottage beyond that. Three separate structures, one plot, one price. That kind of flexibility in a rural Swedish setting at this price point is rare enough to stop and pay attention. The plot i ... click here to read more

Picture this: a Saturday morning in late June, the Swedish sun already high at 7am, coffee in hand on a wide veranda while bumblebees work through a row of strawberries just beyond the railing. That is the rhythm of life at Vinbärsstigen 52 — a compact, well-kept summer cottage tucked into the Riddartorp Allotment Garden Association in Jordbro, about 25 kilometres south of central Stockholm. This is not a grand estate. It was never meant to be. What it is, is exactly right for anyone who has spent too many summers wishing they had somewhere green and quiet to escape to — a proper base camp for Swedish summer, with a garden that actually produces things and neighbours who still wave hello. The cottage itself is 31 square metres, plus an additional five square metres of auxiliary space. One bedroom. A living room that gets the light. A veranda with large windows that blurs the line between inside and out, currently used as a dining area — and on rainy days, that glass keeps you in the garden without the wet socks. The layout is tight but considered, the kind of space that forces you to be outside, which is entirely the point. What sets this plot apart is the land surrounding the cottage. The 300-square-metre leased plot holds vegetable beds, fruit trees, a well-maintained lawn, and several seating spots positioned to catch the sun at different hours of the day. There is a separate guest cabin on the plot — practical for hosting a friend, stashing bikes and garden tools, or setting up a simple hobby space. That guest cabin alone justifies a long look at this listing if you have been struggling to find something with a bit of overflow capacity without paying city-apartment prices. Water is drawn to the plot boundary for ... click here to read more

Early morning in Albro Skogstorp, and the fields outside are still wrapped in low mist. You step onto the front porch with a mug of coffee and there's nothing to hear but birdsong and the occasional rustle from the treeline. No traffic. No notifications that matter. Just the particular, unhurried silence that the Swedish countryside does better than almost anywhere else in Europe. That's the daily opening act at this 1929 red-painted cottage on Albro Skogstorp 4, a compact but surprisingly complete rural retreat sitting on a 1,120-square-meter plot about 15 minutes by car from central Eskilstuna. The faluröd exterior with bright white corner trim is the real thing — not a renovation affectation but a genuine piece of Swedish vernacular architecture that has held its character across nearly a century. At 27 square meters, the main cottage isn't trying to be anything it's not. It's small, efficient, and honest about it. A proper double bed, a living area with windows that look straight out onto the garden and surrounding fields, and a layout that makes every square meter count. For a couple escaping Stockholm for the weekend or a solo writer looking for uninterrupted weeks, it fits like a well-worn boot. What changes the whole equation is the guest house added in 2023. Brand new, thoughtfully positioned on the lot, it opens up the property in a way that a single-room cottage simply can't offer alone. Bring friends up from the city, host family during midsommar, or keep the main cottage as a private retreat while guests have their own space entirely. The flexibility here is real and immediate — you don't need to renovate or plan ahead for it. The grounds deserve more attention than a single line. A 1,120-square-meter lot ... click here to read more

Front view of the red cottage

The south-facing veranda catches the evening light at around seven o'clock, and if you're sitting there with a coffee and a book, you might not move for two hours. That's the thing about Blomstervägen 17 — it has a very specific, very Swedish kind of pull that's hard to explain until you've experienced it yourself. Tucked into the Anderslund allotment area just three kilometers from Nyköping's city center, this winterized red cottage sits on a generous 410-square-meter plot that's already doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Blueberry bushes, currant canes, rhubarb crowns, apple trees, a pear tree — the previous owner clearly knew what they were doing, and the garden rewards you for it from late spring straight through to October. There's also an adjacent cultivation lot, which means even the most ambitious kitchen gardener isn't going to run out of room. The cottage itself is compact at 33 square meters, but efficiently so. There's no wasted space here. The main room works as both a living and sleeping area, bright and well-proportioned, with enough character that it doesn't feel like a compromise. The kitchen corner is properly fitted — oven, stove, microwave, fridge, freezer — so you're not roughing it. A combustion toilet handles the year-round practicality question, and the winterization means you can realistically use this place from March through November without shivering your way through every visit. That glazed veranda facing south is genuinely the heart of the property. On a warm June morning, you eat breakfast there. On a cool September afternoon, you sit there anyway because it's sheltered enough to stay comfortable. It blurs the boundary between the cottage and the garden in a way that makes both feel large ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's six in the morning, the mist is still sitting low over Lake Lingan, and you're walking barefoot across dewy grass with a cup of coffee in your hand. A hundred meters later you're at the water's edge, the only sound a distant woodpecker and the quiet lap of the lake against the small shore. That's not a weekend fantasy—that's a Tuesday in Östervik. This two-bedroom holiday house in Östervik, part of Ockelbo municipality in the Gävleborg region of central Sweden, sits on a 3,453-square-meter plot that backs almost directly onto Lake Lingan. At €87,000 it's the kind of second home that makes financial sense before you've even factored in the lifestyle. The house itself is 42 square meters—compact, honest, and completely fit for purpose. Wooden panelling runs along the interior walls, warm against grey Scandinavian winter light. The open fireplace in the living room is the room's gravitational centre; on October evenings when the forest outside turns amber and copper, you'll understand exactly why Swedish design has always prioritised the hearth. The two bedrooms are small but sleep a couple or a family with young children without issue. The kitchen has what you need: workspace, appliances, a window that looks out into the trees. Simple. Deliberate. Exactly right for a place where life is meant to slow down. What genuinely sets this property apart from most holiday homes at this price point is the outbuilding with a proper sauna and shower. The Swedish ritual of sauna, cold water, repeat isn't a spa gimmick here—it's baked into the geography. You heat the sauna, you walk to the lake, you swim, you walk back. In July the water is warm enough to stay in for twenty minutes. In November, thirty seconds is y ... click here to read more

Step off the wooden porch on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the air already smells like pine resin and warm grass. The lake is a three-minute walk down Kallbodavägen — you can hear the kids from the bathing area before you even see the water through the treeline. That's the daily rhythm at this winterized holiday home in Gåsvik, a quiet corner of Väddö island that most Stockholmers haven't found yet, and the ones who have are fiercely reluctant to share. Väddö sits in the outer reaches of the Roslagen archipelago, roughly 100 kilometers north of Stockholm. The drive up from the city via the E18 and Route 76 takes about 90 minutes — close enough for a Friday-evening escape, far enough that the pace of life genuinely changes the moment you cross the Edeboleden bridge onto the island. This isn't the showy part of the Swedish coast. No boutique hotels, no Instagram crowds. Just dense spruce forest, winding gravel roads, and a shoreline that shifts between sandy lake beaches and the skerry-dotted Baltic coast depending on which direction you point your bicycle. The house itself sits on Kallbodavägen 11, on a 2,130-square-meter lot that gives you room to breathe in a way that most Swedish summer cottages simply don't. Built in 1986 and kept in good condition throughout, the 50-square-meter main building is compact but genuinely functional — the kind of floor plan where nothing is wasted. Large windows in the living room pull in southern light through most of the day, and in winter, when the garden turns white and the birches drop their leaves, the same windows frame a view that looks like a still from an Ingmar Bergman film. The fireplace does real work here from October through April, and it does it well. Two bedrooms ... click here to read more

Step out onto the veranda at six in the morning, coffee in hand, and watch the mist peel back from the lake's surface like a slow exhale. The water is still. A pair of loons cut across the far shore. This is what you came north for. Pauträsk 308 sits right at the water's edge in Storuman municipality, Västerbotten — one of the least-visited and most rewarding corners of Swedish Lapland. The house faces south, which up here at 65 degrees north is no small thing. You get sun from the moment it clears the treeline until it drops behind the ridge well after nine in summer. The light lands on the lake and stays there, shifting from white to amber to something almost copper. You won't run out of things to look at. The house itself is 80 square meters — honest, well-kept, and without pretension. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and living room that open into each other the way a practical Swedish interior should. A wood-burning stove anchors the living space; light it on an October evening when the birch trees have gone gold and the temperature drops fast, and the room feels genuinely warm in a way that no radiator replicates. Large windows pull the lake inside — on grey days the water turns graphite and choppy, on clear days it goes deep blue. Either way, you're watching it. The glazed veranda is arguably where you'll spend most of your time from May through September. It pushes the outdoor season out by several weeks in both directions, letting you eat breakfast outside in April when there's still frost on the grass, or linger over dinner in late September without reaching for a jacket. It's not a feature you appreciate in the abstract — it's one you notice every single day. The plot runs to 1,946 square meters, with ... click here to read more

Lakefront view of the house

Stand at the kitchen window on a Tuesday morning in late June, coffee in hand, and watch the light hit the water somewhere between Svanesund and the open Skagerrak. It doesn't get old. That particular shade of silver-blue the Swedish west coast does in the early hours — before the motorboats start crossing, before anyone's really awake — it's the kind of thing people drive four hours from Gothenburg or Stockholm to see, and here it's just the view from your kitchen. Kastet 711 sits on Stillingsön, a small island on Orust's northern edge connected by bridge to the mainland. Orust itself is Sweden's third-largest island, and the stretch of coast up here around Svanesund has stayed quieter than the more tourist-saturated southern parts. No souvenir shops. No queues for ice cream. Just saltwater, granite, and the particular rhythm of Swedish archipelago life — which, once you've experienced it, is genuinely hard to give up. The house is compact and honest. Built in 1957, it sits high on its plot with that unobstructed sea view as the architectural centrepiece. The single-level living space — 58 square metres — runs kitchen into dining into living room in a layout that always keeps you oriented toward the water. Big windows. Light in summer that goes on until 10 or 11 at night. The bedroom is quietly tucked away from the social end of the house, which matters more than people realise when you're hosting. One bathroom. Everything you need, nothing unnecessary. The basement level adds serious practical value: proper storage for kayaks, wetsuits, crab pots, bicycles, all the gear that accumulates when you actually use a place rather than just admire it. Some owners use it as a workshop. Others have set it up as a basic hobby r ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a still October morning and the surface of Lake Hjälmaren looks like hammered pewter. A heron picks its way along the shoreline fifty meters below. The only sound is the tick of the wood-burning stove warming up behind you, and the faint knock of wind through the ancient oaks that have stood on this hillside since before the house was built in 1909. This is what owning a second home in Segersjö actually feels like—not a postcard, not a brochure promise, but that specific, unhurried quiet that most of us have to travel a long way to find. Segersjö 633 sits on a freehold plot of roughly 2,348 square meters in one of Örebro County's most quietly compelling corners. The main house is 45 square meters of well-maintained, historically intact cottage—compact, yes, but arranged with the kind of practical intelligence that older Swedish rural architecture got right before open-plan living became obligatory. Three rooms and a kitchen, pine floors worn to a honey-gold patina, original moldings still crisp at the corners. The fireplace in the main room isn't decorative. Come February, it earns its place. Large windows pull in light from the south and frame the water views without making the interiors feel exposed. In midsummer, when Scandinavia's long evenings stretch past ten o'clock, the living room glows with the kind of warm, directional light that photographers chase. The two bedrooms are quiet and proportionate—the kind of rooms where you actually sleep deeply, partly because of the silence and partly because the air outside is genuinely clean. Beyond the main house, the property opens up in ways that make the plot feel considerably larger than the headline figure suggests. There's a separate ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the cottage and garden

Early on a July morning, the light in central Sweden does something you don't expect the first time you see it. By six o'clock it's already golden, cutting through the birch trees at the edge of the garden and landing flat across the water. From the terrace at Sättervägen 33, with coffee in hand and not another soul in sight, Lake Tisaren sits just a few hundred meters away — glassy, quiet, entirely yours to walk to whenever you feel like it. That's the daily reality of this place. This is a two-bedroom, single-story house in Tisarstrand, a small lakeside community within Hallsbergs kommun in Örebro County. At 88 square meters, it's compact enough to be genuinely low-maintenance, but the 2,592-square-meter garden around it gives the whole property a sense of scale and openness that the square footage alone doesn't capture. You're not living on top of your neighbors here. You've got space to breathe. The house dates from 1960 and has been well cared for. The single-story layout is practical in the Swedish countryside way — no stairs, no wasted space, everything where you need it. Three rooms and a kitchen arranged sensibly, with a living area that draws in natural light through generous windows facing the garden. In summer, the greenery outside those windows is so close and so dense it shifts the whole color of the room. In winter, you can watch snow accumulate on the birch branches without leaving the couch. The kitchen is functional and honest — good worktop space, adequate storage, and a layout that makes it easy to cook a proper meal after a day out on the lake. It connects naturally to the living and dining areas, which matters when you have friends staying and everyone gravitates toward food. The two bedrooms are ... click here to read more

Front view of the house and garden

Step out onto the new wooden deck on a July evening, a cold Norrköping pilsner in hand, and watch the light go amber over Loddbyviken. The bay barely moves. A heron crosses low. The grill behind you is already warm. This is a genuinely compact holiday home — honest about its size, serious about its setting — and that elevated waterside position over the innermost reach of Bråviken is the kind of thing you simply cannot build or manufacture. Grymön 137 sits on a gentle rise above the water, which means you get the view from everywhere that matters: from the glazed veranda with your morning coffee, from the kitchen window while you're frying eggs, from the deck at midnight when the Swedish summer sky still hasn't fully decided to go dark. The main house is 30 square metres of clever, unfussy planning — a bright kitchen, a proper bedroom, and a loft above that works equally well as a second sleeping spot or as the place all the kayak gear ends up by mid-July. The living space doesn't try to be more than it is. It's warm, it works, and after a day on the water you won't want for anything more. The glazed veranda is the real secret weapon of this place. Sweden has a lot of weather, and the Swedes long ago figured out that the answer is glass — not to shut out the landscape, but to stay inside it through a cold May morning or a rainy August afternoon. You can sit in that veranda, watch the fog lift off Loddbyviken, and feel entirely outside without surrendering any warmth. It's the kind of space that becomes the gravitational centre of every visit. The 2025 deck is a serious addition. Built with generous dimensions and a proper outdoor kitchen setup — counter space, grill position, the works — it's not a token gesture towar ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in February, the thermometer reads minus twelve, and you're sitting in your own sauna listening to snow fall. Outside the window, the spruce trunks are white to their cores, and somewhere beyond them the silhouette of Härjedalen's fells cuts a hard line across a pink sky. No neighbours in sight. No road noise. Just the occasional crack of a branch under the weight of fresh snow. That's the everyday reality at Uggen Örnvägen 6 in Hede. The cabin sits at the very end of Örnvägen — a deliberate dead-end, not a compromise. Whoever placed it here knew exactly what they were doing. Privacy isn't a selling point you have to manufacture; it's simply the geography. The plot runs to 2,050 square metres, generous even by Swedish countryside standards, and the surrounding forest of birch and pine keeps the outside world at a polite distance. The structure itself is genuinely unusual. Two separate timber frames have been physically joined to create a single home, giving the interior a character you don't find in catalogue builds. The walls are raw timber throughout, which does something specific to sound — it softens it, absorbs it — so the place always feels quieter than it is. Large windows were clearly a priority for whoever built this, because almost every room catches light from more than one angle. In summer, when the Nordic sun stays up until nearly midnight, those windows become the whole point of being indoors. Practically speaking, the floorplan works well for a second home or a holiday cabin in Sweden. Downstairs you have a proper hallway — not a token entry space — a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, a toilet area with a chemical WC (standard practice for many rural Swedish prop ... click here to read more

The first morning you wake up here, the sound you hear isn't traffic or neighbours. It's the knock of a wooden boat hull against the dock, and the low call of a loon somewhere out on Lake Ljugaren. Open the window and you catch pine resin on the breeze. That's the daily opening scene at Born Sjögatan 11 — a two-bedroom holiday house in Born, a hamlet so quiet and so green that it takes roughly a day before your shoulders drop back to where they should be. Born sits about 15 minutes by car from Rättvik in the heart of Dalarna, arguably the most Swedish of all Sweden's provinces. Rättvik is the town on the southern tip of Lake Siljan that hosts Music at Lake Siljan every July — one of Scandinavia's biggest folk and classical music festivals, drawing tens of thousands of visitors to its open-air stages along the water. You're far enough from that summer buzz to sleep through it, and close enough to cycle in for an evening concert and still be back before dark. The house itself was built in 1945 and covers 60 square metres across three rooms and a kitchen. It's in good condition — not a project, not a gut renovation. The layout is tight in the best Nordic sense: nothing wasted, everything considered. Large windows face the garden and draw in long Dalarna light, the kind that in June stays golden until 10 at night and makes you push dinner later and later just to stay in it. The kitchen is practical and honest, ready to handle a midsommar feast or a simple plate of gravlax and crispbread. Below the main floor, there's a basement of around 55 square metres — currently unfinished, which is the interesting part. That space could become a proper guest bedroom and bathroom, a workshop for anyone who does woodworking or boat mai ... click here to read more

Picture this: you're sitting at a 1950s kitchen table, coffee in hand, looking out through original single-pane glass at a hillside property that has belonged to one family since 1901. The birch trees outside are so close their branches brush the windowsill. There isn't a neighbor in sight. This is Höjden 1 — a three-bedroom house sitting on over 5,200 square meters of private land right in the heart of Färgelanda, western Sweden, and it's one of those rare properties you genuinely don't come across twice. The address says the center of town. The reality feels more like a world apart. The hill itself — höjden literally means "the height" in Swedish — lifts the house just enough above the surrounding streets that the dense mature trees form a complete green curtain around it. You can walk to the ICA supermarket on Storgatan in under ten minutes, but you'd never know a town was there. That combination, genuine seclusion without genuine isolation, is almost impossible to engineer and nearly impossible to find. Built in 1901 and held within the same family for 125 years, the house is the kind of place that accumulates layers. The original late-Victorian timber frame gives the structure its bones. Then in the 1950s someone added a kitchen extension — and they had taste. The retro cabinetry is the real thing, not a modern reproduction: rounded corners, pastel tones, the kind of craftsmanship that design-conscious buyers now spend fortunes trying to recreate. The windows throughout carry the optimistic clean lines of the 1960s, while original wooden doors and period joinery anchor everything back to the Edwardian core. The result is not confused — it's a genuine archive of Swedish domestic design across a century, and it read ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Skyttsveden 39A is the light. It comes in low through the big windows, catches the surface of Lake Väsman about 150 meters down the slope, and turns the whole room the color of warm honey. By eight o'clock you're already pulling on your shoes for the walk to the water. That's just life here — quiet, unhurried, and genuinely good. Sunnansjö sits in Dalarna, the province that Swedes themselves treat as the country's emotional heartland. Midsommar is taken seriously here. Maypoles go up in the meadows, fiddle music drifts across the water, and the smell of wild strawberries and woodsmoke is so thick you could bottle it. This isn't a region performing its identity for tourists — it's just how things are. Owning a holiday home in this part of Sweden means buying into a way of life that most people only read about. The house itself was built in 1983, single-storey and solid, and it's been looked after with obvious care. Freshly renovated, it has solid wooden floors throughout, pale walls that stay cool even in July heat, and a layout that makes the most of every one of its 54 square metres. Two bedrooms sit on the entrance level — one easily doubles as a study or reading room — and above the main living space there's a sleeping loft that kids immediately claim as their own. The loft isn't counted in the official floor area, which means the actual usable space feels noticeably larger than the figures suggest. The living room is the heart of things. The windows face the lake and on grey November afternoons, when the birch trees have dropped their leaves and frost is forming on the grass, the approved fireplace in the corner earns its keep completely. There's a new air-to-air h ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the lake is already glittering through the birch trees, maybe fifty paces from your front door. By the time the coffee is ready, you can hear the water. That's the daily reality at Stensbovägen 21 — a compact, well-kept house on a generous 2,363 square metre plot in Stensbo, one of those quietly kept corners of Dalarna that locals don't rush to advertise. Built in 1991, the house is 61 square metres of sensible, unfussy living space — two bedrooms, one bathroom, four rooms total — with an extra 10 square metres of secondary space that can absorb whatever life throws at it. A boot room for muddy trails, a workbench for tinkering, a quiet reading corner. The layout is tight without feeling cramped, the kind of floor plan that actually works for two people or a small family rather than looking good on paper and frustrating you in practice. Large windows pull the garden inside, and in the long Nordic summer evenings, the light in here goes golden somewhere around nine o'clock and stays that way for a while. The plot is the real story. At 2,363 square metres, this is serious outdoor space by any standard — not a manicured suburban garden but a proper, usable piece of ground that rewards investment. Raised vegetable beds, a fire pit area, apple trees, room for a greenhouse. Or none of those things — just space and silence and the smell of grass after rain. Two outbuildings come with the property: a traditional Swedish härbre (a historic log storage building that is frankly one of the most atmospheric structures you'll find on a residential plot anywhere) and a guest cottage that gives visiting family or friends their own front door and their own privacy. That last detail matters more than p ... click here to read more

Step off the wooden terrace some Saturday morning in July, coffee in hand, and within two minutes you're standing at the edge of Lake Väsman. The water is still. Pine reflections stretch to the far shore. A fisherman drifts past in a rowboat without making a sound. This is the everyday rhythm at Sjöfallsvägen 14 — a two-bedroom country home on a corner plot in Gonäs, just outside Ludvika in the heart of Dalarna, Sweden's most quietly beloved inland region. The house was built in 1954 and it shows the good bones of that era — solid, modest, unpretentious. Sixty square metres of living space that somehow doesn't feel small. The current owners have kept everything in genuinely good condition: the kind of upkeep that comes from actual care rather than a pre-sale scramble. Walk in and it's move-ready, not move-in-and-hope. Inside, the living room anchors the whole place. There's a wood-burning stove in the corner that does real work on October evenings when the birch trees outside have gone orange and the temperature drops fast. Big windows pull the garden into the room without you having to go outside — on grey mornings that matters more than you'd think. The layout connects directly to an L-shaped terrace, part of it covered, which becomes the default living room from May through September. Outdoor dinners, morning reads, afternoon naps in the slanted northern sun. The terrace doesn't overlook a road or a neighbour's fence — it looks out over your own well-kept garden, framed by mature plantings that have been growing long enough to actually provide privacy. The kitchen is practical without being sparse. Decent storage, enough worktop to cook a proper meal, the kind of layout where two people can move around each other w ... click here to read more

Step off the 400-meter forest lane and feel the shift immediately — the engine noise fades, the birdsong fills the gap, and the air smells of pine resin and lake water. That's the daily arrival at Gamla Kyrkviksvägen 20, a 1909 timber cottage sitting on just over 8,000 square meters of sun-drenched Swedish countryside outside Grängesberg in Dalarna. This is what a vacation home is supposed to feel like. The cottage itself is compact — 79 square meters — but that's precisely the point. One bedroom, a proper kitchen with dining space, a roomy living room, and a covered outdoor patio that becomes the real social hub from May through September. There's no sprawling square footage demanding your weekend attention. Instead, the private forest road ensures this place belongs entirely to you; it leads nowhere else. Nobody passes by accident. The plot fans out around the house in every direction — open and sun-catching, ringed by forest, with space for a kitchen garden, a hammock strung between two birches, a fire pit with chairs pulled close on August evenings when the sky doesn't fully darken until almost midnight. The original bones from 1909 have held up remarkably well. Rustic details remain — the kind of warm, lived-in character you'd spend a fortune trying to reproduce in a new build. Since 2004, the house has served as a summer residence, and that history shows in good ways: the place has been loved and maintained, not neglected. Practical upgrades are already done: a drilled well for a reliable water supply, a newly installed graywater (BDT) system, and a modern incineration toilet. You won't need to immediately invest in infrastructure. Arrive, unpack, and start enjoying it. Beyond the main house, the property holds ... click here to read more
