Scenic Kläppen Country Home: Ideal Second Home in Swedish Mountains

On a still February morning at Matsbo 7, the only sounds are the creak of snow settling on the roof and, somewhere below the garden, the Ljusnan river threading quietly through the valley. You pull on your boots, step outside into minus-eight air that bites your cheeks in the best possible way, and you're at the trailhead in four minutes flat. This is Bruksvallarna — and once you've spent a winter here, you'll understand why Swedes return year after year with the kind of quiet loyalty that doesn't need explaining. Matsbo 7 sits on a 2,296 square metre plot on a calm residential street in the centre of the village. It's not a remote cabin requiring a four-wheel drive and three hours of mountain road — it's genuinely walkable to the ICA Stigmyrs grocery store, the village brasserie, a weaving studio, and the local hotel. That proximity matters more than it sounds. On a dark January afternoon when the temperature drops hard, being able to grab provisions on foot rather than scraping ice off a car is its own small luxury. The property is built in two connected sections, each with its own entrance, and this dual layout is the detail that makes it genuinely interesting for buyers. The newer wing, comprehensively updated in 2015, has the kind of open-plan arrangement that works for large family gatherings — a wide living room, a white kitchen with real storage space, a dining area that seats a crowd, and a bathroom with contemporary fittings. Two bunk beds and a double mean six people sleep here comfortably without anyone feeling crammed. The older section is a different mood entirely. Panel-clad walls, a proper open fireplace, and a sitting room that feels like it was built for long evenings with aquavit and card games. One ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first — cut grass warming in the late afternoon sun, woodsmoke drifting from somewhere across the fields, and the faint sweetness of the apple trees that line the far edge of the yard. Then you notice how quiet it actually is. Not the uncomfortable quiet of isolation, but the deep, settled quiet of a place that has been at peace with itself for over a hundred years. That's Fågelsta Stormbacken. A 1910 red-painted farmstead on the outer edge of Julita, Katrineholms kommun, sitting on 1.3 hectares of Swedish countryside with the kind of bones that modern houses simply can't replicate. The main house runs to 160 square metres across seven rooms, and it carries its age well. Wide wooden floors creak in exactly the right places. Original period doors still swing on their hinges. Three traditional tiled stoves — kakelugnar — stand in the sitting rooms and do what they've always done: turn a cold November evening into something you don't want to leave. The ceilings are high enough that the rooms never feel crowded even when the family descends in full. Large windows face the courtyard and the open fields beyond, pulling in light from morning through to the long Swedish summer evenings when dusk doesn't fall until nearly eleven o'clock. The kitchen is the heart of the place, as it should be. Country-style cabinetry, a serious amount of worktop space, and updated appliances sit alongside the original character of the room without any sense of awkward compromise. The dining area flows directly off it, which matters enormously when you're hosting — plates passing between rooms, conversation spilling between spaces. This is a kitchen designed for proper cooking, not just reheating. Think slow-braised elk from t ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air already carries salt from the Baltic. The rauks — those ancient limestone pillars rising from the water at Kyllaj — are catching the low sun about five hundred meters away, and the only sounds are wind through the birches and the distant clang of a mooring line at the small harbor. This is northern Gotland on a weekday, and it feels like the rest of the world doesn't exist. This 1929 whitewashed country home has belonged to one family for roughly sixty years. That kind of continuity is unusual, and you can feel it. The proportions are honest, the walls are thick, and nothing about the place feels rushed or flipped. It sits on 2,475 square meters of mature garden — big enough for a vegetable patch, a lawn worth lying on, and still room for the kids to disappear somewhere between the trees. At 69 square meters, the interior is compact but genuinely livable. The living room pulls in light from large windows that look straight onto the garden, and on a clear afternoon the brightness in that room is something else — white walls, wooden floors, and green outside every pane of glass. The kitchen keeps its rustic bones while running on modern appliances, with enough bench space to actually cook rather than just heat things up. Gotlandic lamb stew with local saffron, maybe, or fresh-caught pike-perch from one of the fishing spots along the northern coast. The bedroom is a proper quiet room — not a converted alcove — with the kind of stillness at night that urban buyers simply haven't experienced in years. What sets this property apart from most holiday homes in Sweden isn't the house itself. It's everything around it. The earth cellar keeps wine and root vegetables at a natural cool t ... click here to read more

Step off the gravel path at Gudbyvägen 36 on a June morning and what hits you first is the quiet. Not the absence of sound exactly — there's a woodpecker somewhere behind the tree line, and a neighbor's dog doing its rounds — but the kind of quiet that makes Stockholm feel like a different world, even though you're only 25 minutes up the E4. This is Gudby. A pocket of Upplands Väsby where the houses have proper gardens, where the roads still have names that predate the suburbs, and where 2,662 square meters of your own land means you can walk barefoot across your own grass without seeing a fence for a good while. The 1955 cottage sitting on that plot is small — 20 square meters of honest simplicity — but the land it stands on is where the real story lives. The cottage itself is functional and in good condition. One room, one bathroom, the basics done right. It's not trying to be anything it isn't, which is part of what makes it work so well as a summer retreat or a base while you figure out what comes next. And what comes next is the interesting part. Municipal water and sewage are already connected at the property boundary — costs already covered by the current owners — which removes one of the more tedious hurdles for anyone thinking about development. The plot is potentially divisible too, a detail that opens up a range of possibilities depending on what direction you want to take this. Many neighbors along Gudbyvägen have already done exactly that. Started with an older summer cottage, renovated or built alongside it, and ended up with a year-round home on a generous piece of land that would cost multiples to replicate closer to the city. That trajectory is visible in the streetscape here — you see the mix of orig ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning at Örviks byväg 18 and the air carries something particular — a mix of pine resin, cut grass, and the faint salt tang drifting in from the Baltic just 1.7 kilometres away. The southwest sun is already hitting the glazed conservatory. Coffee in hand, you watch a pair of cranes pick their way across the meadow. This is Roslagen in its quietest, most honest form. Not a postcard. The real thing. Herräng sits roughly 100 kilometres north of Stockholm along the Uppland coast, tucked into the northern reaches of the Roslagen archipelago — a region Swedes have been quietly keeping to themselves for generations. This particular property sits about 4 kilometres south of Herräng village proper, on a lane where the neighbours are mostly birch trees and the occasional tractor. The address, Örviks byväg 18, places you on the edge of the Örvikssjön lake, roughly 350 metres from the water's edge. On still evenings you can hear the lake. On windy ones, you can hear the sea. The main house is a 1.5-storey building measuring 130 square metres, in good condition and ready to move into without a renovation project hanging over your first summer. Ground floor has a proper layout for a family: a hallway that opens naturally into a generous living room, a kitchen that works, a bedroom, and a laundry room with WC. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a bathroom share the space with a family room and, critically, a balcony with partial views over Örvikssjön. That balcony matters more than it sounds on paper — sitting up there as the light shifts over the water at 9pm in June, with the sky still pale gold, is one of those Swedish summer moments that makes people buy property in this country and never fully leave. The g ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the world is completely white and completely silent. The ski tracks cut through the snow maybe three hundred meters from the front door. You clip into your skis on the porch, push off, and within minutes you're gliding through birch forest with no one else in sight. That's a Tuesday here at Hagströmsvallen 105. This two-bedroom country home sits on a generous 3,500-square-meter lot on the slopes above Bruksvallarna in Härjedalen, one of Sweden's most celebrated mountain regions. At 61 square meters, the house is compact and honest—every square meter works. The open-plan living and kitchen area anchors the interior, with a wood-burning fireplace that earns its place on a cold March evening when the temperature outside drops to minus fifteen and the snow is still falling. Both bedrooms are quiet. The bathroom has a washing machine, which matters more than people think when you're spending a full week. And then there's the sauna, with its own small relaxation room—not a luxury addition but a genuine necessity up here, the place you end up after a long day on the trails with aching legs and cold feet. Outside, the lot is substantial. Mountain birches frame the property. In summer, the neighboring field fills with grazing cattle, and if you leave the kitchen window open you hear the bells. There's an outbuilding for storage, a woodshed stocked for winter, and a störrös—a traditional small cabin with an open hearth—that speaks directly to the older rhythms of this mountain landscape. Fäbodvallen culture, where highland summer farms dotted these slopes for centuries, left its mark on the architecture and atmosphere of this whole valley, and you feel it here. The Nordic ski tracks groomed ... click here to read more

Close your eyes for a second and picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in late June, the air smells of pine resin and cut grass, and you're standing in a garden the size of a small meadow with a cup of coffee, watching swallows cut low over the wildflower patch. Nobody is calling you anywhere. That's the daily reality at Skredsviks Hede 317, a red-painted Swedish torp built in 1787 that has somehow made it to the modern era with its soul completely intact. This is genuine West Sweden countryside — the kind of place people from Gothenburg have been quietly keeping to themselves for generations. Uddevalla sits at the edge of the Bohuslän coast, a region where the granite archipelago crumbles into the Skagerrak, and where the summer light at 10pm still paints everything gold. The property itself sits in Skredsvik, a rural parish about 20 minutes by car from Uddevalla's city center, and cycling distance from open water swimming spots that don't appear in any guidebook. The house is small by modern standards — 47 square meters of living space in the main building — but that's part of the point. Everything here is intentional. You're not managing a mansion; you're maintaining a piece of history. The original wooden structure from the late 18th century is still the bones of the building, and the owners have kept the character rigorously intact: exposed ceiling beams with the kind of patina that takes two centuries to develop, tongue-and-groove wall paneling, wide-plank wooden floors that creak in exactly the right places. Walk into the combined kitchen and hallway and you'll immediately understand the logic of how these old Swedish farmhouses worked. There's a wood-burning stove for warmth, a traditional baking oven (function ... click here to read more

On a still July morning in Herräng, you crack the upstairs balcony door and the air comes in cool and pine-sharp, carrying the faint sound of someone rowing out past the rocks below. The apple trees in the garden are heavy. Coffee is already on. This is what owning a second home in Roslagen actually feels like — and Norra Kallbodavägen 82 is one of those rare finds that delivers it without compromise. Built in 1930 and thoroughly renovated to a standard that leaves nothing to the imagination, this two-bedroom country home sits on a private, elevated plot of 3,841 square meters in Bredsund, just outside Herräng village. The renovation was not cosmetic. Everything was addressed: roof, façade, electrical systems, plumbing, bathroom, kitchen, and interior surfaces. What remains is the original soul of a Swedish country house — its proportions, its timber character, its relationship to the land — now wrapped in a level of comfort you can move into without a single weekend of DIY. The kitchen was finished in a soft sage green and has real workspace, not just the illusion of it. There's room for a proper dining table, which matters when you're feeding guests after a long day on the water. The bathroom next door is fully tiled, fitted with a shower, and plumbed for a washing machine — practical details that international owners especially appreciate. Upstairs, the house opens into a central living area that connects the two bedrooms, both capable of fitting double beds, with a wood-burning stove anchoring the whole floor. On cold October weekends, when the birch trees outside turn and the archipelago empties out, that stove earns its place. The balcony off the upper level faces the sun through most of the day. In June, that m ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the pine trees are already warm. The air smells like resin and salt — that particular mix you only get this close to the Swedish coast — and the path down to the water is a four-minute walk through the kind of quiet that cities cannot manufacture. This is Hammarskogsvägen 25 in Hammarskogen, a well-kept Swedish country home sitting on a generous 1,943 square metre plot in Norrtälje municipality, about 115 kilometres north of Stockholm. At 249,500 SEK, it is one of the more accessible entry points into the Swedish second home market. But the price is almost beside the point once you've spent a weekend here. The house itself was built in 1982, covers 70 square metres across two bedrooms and one bathroom, and carries its age well. The layout is honest and unpretentious — a living room with windows that pull in the afternoon light from the west, an open connection through to the kitchen that makes cooking feel like part of the social fabric of the home rather than a chore done in isolation. The kitchen has been updated with functional modern appliances and storage that actually works. Nothing about this space is overworked or fussy. It does what a Swedish summer house should do: it gets out of the way and lets the outdoors in. The master bedroom fits a double bed with room to spare. The second bedroom is versatile — it has served as a children's room, a reading room, a space for visiting friends — and there is something satisfying about a room that doesn't insist on being one thing. The bathroom is clean and practical, with a shower, toilet, and sink. Not glamorous. Perfectly sufficient. What really sets this property apart is the land. Nearly 2,000 square metres in Hammarskogen, dotted ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in early July, coffee in hand, and the Baltic is right there — glinting through the pine trunks, less than fifty meters from your front door. The air smells of salt and warm resin. A boat is heading out from the marina. Yours is tied up in your own private berth, waiting. This is what a morning at Havsvägen 32 looks like. Furuvik sits on a slender tongue of land along the Gävle coast, about 12 kilometers south of Gävle city center — far enough that the summer crowds haven't taken over, close enough that you're never truly cut off. It's the kind of spot that Swedes pass down through families rather than advertise. A quiet residential road, a handful of houses, and then the sea. Havsvägen is exactly what the name says: the sea road. The property itself occupies a remarkable 3,786 square meters of coastal land. That's not a typo. On this stretch of the Swedish coast, a plot this size with direct water proximity doesn't surface often. The main holiday house dates from 1950, built in the solid, unpretentious style of Swedish sommarstugor from that era — roughly 79 square meters across five rooms, sitting back from the lane with mature trees wrapping around it on three sides. It's in good condition, functional, and completely livable right now. But the real story here is what the land makes possible. Several smaller guest cottages dot the lot, handy for the extended family visits that inevitably happen the moment you own a place like this. Cousins from Gothenburg, friends from abroad — Swedish summer hospitality runs deep, and having a spare cabin means you never have to choose between hosting and having your own space. The whole compound has a slightly rambling, unhurried quality that feel ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in July, and you're sitting on a sun-warmed deck with a cup of coffee, watching a cormorant dry its wings on a rock twenty metres offshore. No road noise. No neighbours cutting their grass. Just the faint slap of water against the jetty below and the smell of pine warming up in the morning sun. That's what owning Risö 58 actually feels like. Getting here is part of the ritual. You drive down to Maltbacken — about fifteen minutes from Nyköping's centre — pull into your own reserved parking spot, hook up the car to the electric charger, and then step into the boat. A short crossing through the inner archipelago and you're tying up at your own dock. Every time. It never gets old. The property is made up of three separate structures arranged around a large south-facing deck that acts as the social hub of the whole place. The main cottage anchors everything — compact, efficient, with big windows on nearly every wall that track the light from morning to evening. A wood-burning stove sits in the living room and earns its keep from late August onwards, when the evenings start to cool and the archipelago takes on that particular golden-hour quality that photographers chase. The kitchen opens directly onto the deck, so whoever's cooking doesn't miss a thing — the conversation, the sunset, the kids jumping off the rocks below. Sleep eight to twelve people comfortably across the main cottage (which has a sleeping loft) and the two standalone guest cabins. The cabins are positioned with real thought — enough distance from the main building that guests get genuine privacy, and both are fitted with air-source heat pumps for heating and cooling. Light colours, simple finishes, and waking up to wat ... click here to read more

Six o'clock on a July morning. You slide open the terrace door and the air hits you—cool, pine-scented, with that particular stillness that only comes from being a few steps from open water. Lake Mälaren stretches out in front of you, flat and silver, and somewhere down the path you can already hear the first swimmers of the day. That is the daily reality of waking up at Braxvägen 28 on Märsön island. This is a 55-square-metre holiday home on a 1,489-square-metre plot that punches well above its size. Built in 1972 and kept in genuinely good condition across the decades, it sits at an elevated position on the island's southern face—which means both the sun and the lake are almost always in your line of sight. The orientation is not an accident. Whoever chose this spot knew what they were doing. Inside, the living room is the centre of gravity. It's a proper gathering space, not a cramped afterthought, and it flows directly into a conservatory that acts as a kind of weather-proof buffer between indoors and the lake terrace beyond. On cooler evenings—and Swedish September evenings can be genuinely chilly—the wood-burning stove earns its place fast. The crackle of birch logs, a glass of something warm, the last of the light on the water. You'll understand quickly why Swedes take their fritidshus so seriously. The kitchen is compact but fully equipped: stove, fridge-freezer, and just enough room for a small table by the window where breakfast becomes a slow, deliberate event rather than a rushed ritual. Light walls and considered wallpaper keep the interiors feeling open despite the modest footprint. One bedroom, one bathroom with a shower and composting toilet—simple, functional, and exactly right for two people who came ... click here to read more

Picture this: you cut the engine, the boat drifts the last few meters to the jetty, and the only sound left is water slapping softly against the granite. No neighbors. No traffic. Just the smell of sun-warmed pine resin and the faint call of a common tern somewhere out over Skrävlafjärden. The entire island is yours. Every rock, every handful of sand, every inch of shoreline — yours. This is what owning a private island in the Stockholm archipelago actually feels like. Not a fantasy. A real, registered, freehold property sitting on 1,825 square meters of your own land surrounded by the water of Värmdö's inner archipelago, roughly 35 kilometers east of Stockholm's city center. The island itself does a lot of the heavy lifting. Sandy beaches to the north and south — proper sand, not the pebbly disappointment you get elsewhere — give way to wide slabs of smooth granite that hold the afternoon sun long after five o'clock. Swedish summers are short and fiercely lived, and this island is set up for exactly that: the west-facing jetty deck is big enough for a proper outdoor dining table, a couple of sun loungers, and still leaves room to move. Sunsets here hit the water directly. Every evening in June and July, when the sky goes amber and the reflections stretch across the fjord, you'll understand why people pay any price for this view. Getting here is easier than it sounds. Evlinge on the mainland is the departure point — a short, uncomplicated boat trip even if you're new to navigating these waters. Multiple jetties wrap around the island, so docking is never a scramble regardless of wind direction. Day trippers and experienced sailors have both managed it first try. Stockholm's Slussen takes around 40 minutes by car to re ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning in Björnrike and the silence hits you first. Not the absence of sound, but a full, weighted quiet that only comes when a meter of fresh snow has settled overnight over spruce forest and open fell. The ski slopes of Vemdalen are warming up three kilometers away. You can smell the cold. This is what you came for. Sitting on Duvstigen 6, this 112-square-meter country home has been a proper Swedish mountain retreat since it went up in 1977. It's solid, well-kept, and honest about what it is — a place built for people who actually use mountains rather than just look at them. The 2,133-square-meter plot gives you room to breathe in every season, surrounded by birch and pine that turn the light gold in late summer and hold a blue shadow through the short winter afternoons. Come in from a morning on the slopes and the wood-burning stove in the living area will be the first thing on your mind. This house has both — a wood burner and an open fireplace — and if you've ever spent a Swedish January properly, you'll understand why that matters. The open-plan kitchen and living room keep everyone together without crowding anyone, the large windows pulling the mountain view right into the room. Afternoon light in early March, when the sun finally climbs high enough to pour through those windows and hit the timber floors, is something you will not forget quickly. Then there's the sauna. In Sweden this isn't a luxury add-on; it's infrastructure. After a long day on the cross-country trails through Härjedalen's Sonfjället National Park or a full afternoon of downhill at the Vemdalen ski system — which links Björnrike, Klövsjö, and Storhogna into one of the largest ski areas in Sweden — the private saun ... click here to read more

The sun drops low over the water at around nine in the evening in July, and from the west-facing terrace here at Bredstäk, that light turns the whole surface of the lake into hammered copper. You are holding a glass of something cold. The apple orchard behind you is humming with bees. This is what a Tuesday evening looks like at this 1909 country house on Lisö, and once you have stood on that terrace even once, the idea of not owning it becomes genuinely difficult to live with. Lisö sits within Nynäshamn Municipality, about 60 kilometres south of Stockholm — close enough to reach by car in under an hour, far enough that the city feels like a different planet. The island sits in the outer Stockholm archipelago, that extraordinary stretch of more than 30,000 islands and skerries that defines the Swedish coastline here. Most visitors to Sweden never get this far south into the archipelago. The ones who do tend to start looking at real estate. The house itself was built in 1909 and it carries that age well. Wooden floors that creak just slightly underfoot. Traditional single-pane windows framed in white that rattle softly in a November wind. A kitchen fireplace that has been warming people through Swedish winters for over a century. None of this has been ripped out and replaced with something generic — the character is intact, and that matters. At 80 square metres across two storeys, the layout is compact but genuinely livable. Downstairs you get the country kitchen — large enough for a proper farmhouse table, with that fireplace as its centrepiece — a living room with a cast-iron wood-burning stove, and a fully tiled bathroom with shower. Upstairs, two bedrooms sit under the eaves with views over the meadows and the water ... click here to read more

Picture yourself on a sun-drenched terrace, coffee in hand, watching morning mist lift from the surrounding forest as birdsong fills the air. The scent of pine drifts through the garden while children play safely on the sprawling lawn, their laughter echoing across 4,500 square meters of private, tree-lined grounds. This is the reality of owning a vacation home in Hässelmara, a coveted corner of the Stockholm archipelago where modern life slows to the rhythm of nature, yet the capital's energy remains just 50 minutes away. This 70-square-meter single-story country home from 1950 embodies the essence of Swedish summer living that international buyers seek when searching for authentic Scandinavian holiday properties. Set at the end of a quiet road in Värmdö, the property combines the independence of island living with practical mainland accessibility, creating the perfect second home for families who crave both adventure and convenience. The Stockholm archipelago, with its 30,000 islands, skerries, and islets, represents one of Europe's most distinctive coastal landscapes, and this property positions you at the gateway to exploring this maritime wonderland. The main residence welcomes you with an open floor plan designed for the communal living that defines Swedish holiday culture. The country kitchen serves as the social hub, where long summer dinners stretch into midnight under the never-setting sun of Nordic June. Large windows frame views of the mature garden, bringing the outdoors in and flooding rooms with natural light during the extended daylight hours of Swedish summers. The connected dining area accommodates gatherings of eight or more, perfect for hosting fellow travelers, local friends, or extended family who ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping onto the traditional covered porch of your Swedish mountain retreat as the first morning light illuminates the peaks of Härjedalen. The aroma of pine fills the crisp air, and just beyond your 1,468 square meter private grounds, you hear the gentle murmur of the Ljusnan river flowing through untouched wilderness. This is the reality awaiting you at this authentic 1972 timber cabin in Bruksvallarna, where genuine Scandinavian mountain living meets year-round outdoor adventure just minutes from the renowned Ramundberget ski village. This 44 square meter country home represents more than a vacation property—it's your gateway to experiencing the Swedish mountain lifestyle that draws discerning international buyers to this snow-sure region of northern Europe. The cabin's authentic timber construction and traditional barfred porch embody the architectural heritage of Swedish mountain dwellings, while the thoughtfully designed interior maximizes every meter to create a warm, functional space perfect for families, couples, or small groups seeking genuine wilderness immersion. The heart of your mountain sanctuary centers around the spacious living room with its wood-burning stove, where you'll gather after days spent carving through fresh powder or hiking alpine trails. Large windows frame the surrounding mountain landscape, creating a constant connection with nature while flooding the space with the long summer daylight or the ethereal glow of winter evenings. The open-plan kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area, encouraging the communal meals and storytelling sessions that define memorable mountain holidays. Prepare hearty Swedish breakfasts before hitting the slopes, or gather around the table ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping onto a sun-warmed glass veranda, coffee in hand, as the morning light dances across Bråviken Bay. The scent of pine drifts through the garden where ancient trees frame your 3,730-square-meter private sanctuary. This is life at your Swedish vacation home in Kolmården, where a 1909 historic summer house becomes your gateway to authentic Scandinavian living, just minutes from Sweden's eastern archipelago coastline. This 106-square-meter country home represents something increasingly rare in modern Sweden: a property that has evolved gracefully through time while maintaining its soul. Built in the early 20th century when Kolmården was emerging as a summer retreat for those seeking escape from urban life, the house carries the architectural signatures of its era. Original wooden floors bear the gentle patina of generations, high ceilings create breathing room that modern construction rarely achieves, and a traditional tiled stove stands as both functional heating and historical centerpiece. The southwestern orientation floods rooms with natural light from midday through golden hour, while those same windows frame views across Bråviken that shift with seasons and weather. The northern shore of Bråviken offers something special to vacation home owners: a microclimate where the bay moderates temperatures, extending pleasant outdoor seasons at both ends. Spring arrives earlier here as the water retains winter cold less stubbornly than inland areas. Summer stretches long and luminous, with white nights in June creating almost surreal twilight hours when dinner on the veranda extends seamlessly into late-evening garden strolls. Autumn brings spectacular foliage as deciduous trees transform the surroundin ... click here to read more
