This country home for sale in Nyköping, Södermanland, comes with 65 m² of living space and a 2,479 m² garden for €97,500. It is a small, practical house on a lot big enough to give it room to breathe, which is exactly what most people want from a Swedish summer place. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room and a kitchen with a dining area make it manageable for a couple and workable for a family, and the size of the plot means the real project is outdoors. ### Inside the 65 m² House The house has three rooms plus kitchen and bathroom: two bedrooms and a living room that works as the centre of the home. Large windows run through the house, so the rooms stay bright even on a grey Nordic afternoon. There is space in the living room for both a sofa group and a dining table if you want to seat guests. The kitchen is built for cooking rather than show, with plenty of storage and worktop space. Next to it is a dining area that looks out over the garden, which is where breakfast tends to happen from May to September. The bathroom is functional but dated, so budget for modernising it if you want something more current. Overall the house is in good condition, with solid construction and well-kept interiors, and the seller points to scope for updates later rather than anything urgent. ### The 2,479 m² Garden The plot is the main attraction. Mature trees and open lawn give it a private feel, and there is room to do almost anything: vegetable beds, fruit trees, a greenhouse, a play area for children, a deck for evening meals. Pets have plenty of space to roam. There is also parking on the property, which is a small detail that matters when you arrive with a car full of luggage. The seller notes potential for extension or fur ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Västmanland sits near Kolsva, 700 metres from Lake Lillsvan, with a guest cottage on a 1,666 m² plot. It is a small, practical house priced at EUR 79,500, the kind you can lock up on a Sunday evening without a long list of chores left behind. Built in 1978 and in good condition, it works as a summer house, a weekend base or a modest holiday home in Sweden for a family that likes forests and water more than resorts. ### The House: 34 m² with Conservatory and Wood Stove The house is compact at 34 m², but the layout makes sense. You step into a bright kitchen with decent storage and worktop space. Next to it is the living room, where a wood-burning stove carries the evenings from autumn through to spring. A conservatory opens off the living room. It is the spot for morning coffee while the air is still cool, or for sitting out an afternoon shower with the garden in view. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom. The bathroom was recently renovated, is fully tiled and has underfloor heating. That matters more than it sounds, because it makes visits outside July and August far more comfortable. Together with the stove, it is why the seller describes the place as usable beyond the summer months. ### Guest Cottage, Shed and a 1,666 m² Plot The plot is 1,666 m², mostly lawn, and designed to be easy to look after. There is room for garden furniture, a barbecue and a play area, and space left over if you want to try a vegetable bed. Nobody will be spending the weekend behind a hedge trimmer. Besides the main house there is a separate guest cottage, which gives visitors their own place to sleep. A storage shed holds garden tools, bicycles and outdoor gear. The listing does not say how the cottage ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Dalarna sits on a 1,366 m² garden plot in Mockfjärd, Gagnef, and is priced at 34,500 EUR. It is a small house on a big piece of land, and that is the whole appeal. Inside there is one room of 20 m² with wooden finishes. Outside there is space to garden, grill, or just sit under the trees. If you want a low-cost foothold in Swedish countryside rather than a project that eats every weekend, this is worth a close look. ### A 20 m² Country Home Built for Simple Weekends The house is a single open-plan room that serves as both living and sleeping space. Large windows bring in daylight, and the wooden interior gives it the feel of a traditional Swedish stuga. There is nothing to heat or clean in a hurry. You arrive on Friday, open the door, and you are home. The condition is good and the basic amenities are in place. The layout is open, so you can arrange it as you like, whether that means a sleeping corner by the window or a table where you eat and plan the next day's walk. Anyone considering a bigger renovation or an extension should check what is possible with the municipality first. For a weekend retreat, though, it works as it stands. ### The 1,366 m² Garden Plot The plot is the real asset here. At 1,366 m² it is many times larger than the house, which gives you room for a vegetable patch, outdoor furniture, a fire pit or a playing area for children and pets. The garden has mature trees and shrubs that give shade in summer and some privacy from the neighbours. A plot this size also opens up options. Some owners would add a shed for bikes and skis, others a small guest cabin. Any building work needs to follow local planning rules, so ask Gagnef municipality before you plan anything perm ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Södermanland sits on a 1,400 m² green plot near Sköldinge, with a compact 25 m² cottage priced at about €43,250. The land is the real draw here. It gives you room for a vegetable patch, a fire pit and a hammock between two trees, with grass left over for children to run around on. It is a classic Swedish fritidshus, the kind of small cottage people keep for weekends, summer weeks and quiet autumn visits. The price makes it an easy first step into Sweden real estate. ### The Country Home and Its 1,400 m² Garden Inside, the cottage has two rooms. The main one combines living and dining space, with room for a sofa and a table. The bedroom is a separate room, and there is one bathroom. The style is traditional, with wooden details, and large windows face the garden. Morning coffee at the table means looking straight out at the trees and the lawn. The house is in good condition and has been looked after. Buyers who like to put their own stamp on a place will find scope to update and customise, since the footprint is small and any project stays manageable. Outside, the plot is lush, with mature trees and open grassy areas that give a good sense of privacy. It is big enough for barbecues with friends, a play area or a serious vegetable garden, and still feels like a quiet corner of the countryside. ### Living Near Sköldinge and Katrineholm Sköldinge lies in Katrineholm Municipality, in the south of Södermanland County. The setting is rural, with forests, lakes and walking trails all around. Locals cycle, fish, swim in the lakes in summer and hike through the woods. Julita Gård, the open-air estate museum in Katrineholm Municipality, is a popular day out nearby. For everyday needs, the town ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Hallstavik gives you 83 m² and three bedrooms on a 2,094 m² plot, with meadow views and a southwest-facing terrace. The house stands on a gentle rise north of Stockholm, in the Vidö area of Roslagen. It has a wood-burning stove, two heat pumps and a garden that is easy to keep. The asking price is €99,500, which is a modest entry point for a second home in Sweden within reach of the capital. One thing to know from the start: the sewage system is under a municipal injunction and has to be dealt with. More on that below. ### The House and Its 2,094 m² Plot Inside, 83 m² are divided into four rooms plus a kitchen, three of them bedrooms. There is one bathroom. The living room is the social centre, and its wood-burning stove is what you will want on a November evening. From here a door leads to the terrace, which faces southwest, so the sun stays late on summer nights. Past the railing the view runs across open meadows. The house is in good condition. Two air-to-air heat pumps handle heating, and the water supply runs year-round with a flush toilet, so the house is not limited to the summer season. Outside, the plot is large enough for a vegetable patch, a flower bed or a play area, and the garden is described as low-maintenance. A storage building and a small carport are already on the land. The elevated position means the house catches daylight from morning until evening. ### Sewage and Sale Terms: What to Check First The municipality has issued an injunction on the sewage system, and the new owner will need to upgrade or replace it. Ask for the injunction documents and get a quote from a local installer before you bid, so you can put a real figure on the work. The house is also sold wi ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Örebro stands on a 2,130 m² garden plot near Odensbacken, with a 43 m² one-bedroom house in good condition. The price is the first thing people notice, but the plot is the real draw. Most Swedish cottages at this budget come with a postage-stamp lawn. This one comes with more than two thousand square meters of mature trees and open grass, and a small, tidy house to go with them. If you have been looking for a second home in Sweden that you can use straight away and shape over the years, it deserves a closer look. ### The House: 43 m² on Two Rooms The layout is simple and easy to live in. There is one bedroom, one living room, a kitchen next to the living area and a bathroom. The living room has large windows, so the light reaches well into the house, and there is space for both a sofa corner and a dining table. The kitchen has what you need to cook for two or four people, and because it sits so close to the living room, the cook is never cut off from the conversation. The bedroom takes a double bed and some storage furniture. With only one bedroom, this is a home for a couple or a single owner, or for a family that treats it as a base for long weekends and summer weeks. The house is in good condition, so you can move in first and decide on upgrades later. Anyone planning to use it more than a few months a year may want to look at insulation and heating, as with any small Swedish cottage. Ask for these details at a viewing. ### The 2,130 m² Plot The garden is where you will spend your time from May to September. The source material describes mature trees and open lawns, which means shade for the afternoon and room for a barbecue, a hammock or a game of kubb. It also means you can grow t ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Dalarna sits on 8,043 m² of land near Björbo in Gagnef, with a 30 m² cottage in good condition. It is small and simple, and at around €43,250 it is a low-cost way into Swedish ownership. The house is one open room, and the land around it is the real asset. Think of it as a base for summers, long weekends and slow projects rather than a finished family home. ### The Cottage: 30 m² in One Open Room The house is a traditional Swedish fritidshus (holiday cottage) built in wood. It has one bedroom, one bathroom and a single open living space of 30 m². With no internal walls to work around, you decide how the room is used. You could put a bed at one end and a table at the other, or turn it into a compact studio with a daybed by the window. The condition is described as good, so you can use it as it stands for a first summer before deciding what to change. Small cottages like this are common across Dalarna and usually run on simple routines. Before you buy, ask about heating, water supply, drainage and winter road access. That tells you whether this is a May-to-September place or one you can also use in January. ### 8,043 m² of Garden and Open Land Eight thousand square metres is a lot of ground by any European standard. It gives you room for a vegetable patch, a few fruit trees, a fire pit and a proper lawn, with plenty left over that you never need to mow. The original details describe a mix of open grassy areas and wooded sections, so there is sun in one corner and shade in another at any hour of the day. The plot is large enough that a guest cabin or an extension might be possible one day. Anything like that depends on local planning rules, so check building rights with Gagnef municipalit ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Kolmården comes with a 2,458 m² plot, a guest house you can use from day one and lakes a few minutes' walk away. The asking price is 69,500 EUR for a freehold cottage, a separate guest house and nearly a quarter of a hectare of garden and woodland. It is a two-speed property. The main cottage dates from 1909 and needs renovation. The guest house is newer and ready now. So you can spend a first summer here while you decide what to do with the old house, rather than waiting for builders before you can stay. ### The 1909 Cottage and Its Renovation Potential The main house has 44 m² of living area, one bedroom and one bathroom. The standard is simple and old, and the listing is upfront that renovation is needed. What it has is atmosphere: a kitchen, a living room and an open fireplace that anchors the whole house. Ceiling heights are worth knowing about before you view. In the living room the floor has been lowered, giving about 1.90 metres. The kitchen is lower, at roughly 1.70 metres, though the floor there could be lowered to match the living room. The attic is unfinished. Converted into a sleeping loft, it could add real space to a house this small, subject to the usual permits and a survey. ### The Guest House, Deck and Garden The newer guest house is the part that makes this a usable holiday home in Östergötland today. It has several sleeping areas, so family or friends can stay, and a shower room with a Separett Villa composting toilet. Outside there is a large deck and an outdoor kitchen, which is where summer meals will happen. The plot is mostly green and private: mature trees, sunny lawn and wooded edges that frame the property. There is room for a vegetable bed, a play area fo ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Rättvik, Dalarna, sits on 1.2 hectares with nine separate buildings and is sold fully furnished. The address is Boda Kyrkby, in the Silverbergsbodarna area, and the setting is quiet. You arrive through a wooden gateway into open grounds, with birdsong and not much else. A bathing area and a campsite with a restaurant are a five-minute walk away, and Rättvik town centre is a short drive. It is a ready-to-use holiday home in Dalarna for a family that likes to gather in numbers. ### The Property: Nine Buildings on 1.2 Hectares The plot is about 12,000 m². Mature trees and open lawns give it room to breathe, and the buildings are spread out so each has some privacy. The main house has roughly 70 m² of living space and one bedroom. The other eight buildings are what make the place unusual. Together they sleep around 14 to 16 people, according to the seller. That suits a multi-generational summer week, a reunion, or a group of friends who want their own corner of the garden. Everything is sold fully furnished, inventory included. You can arrive with a bag of groceries and start using the place. The property is in good condition. As with any group of outbuildings, walk through each one in person and note which ones you would use first. ### Off-Grid Living: Well Water and No Electricity The property has its own well for water. There is no electricity connected, and you should weigh that honestly. For some buyers it is the appeal: evenings by lamplight, a slower pace, no hum from appliances. For others it means planning ahead, and it is worth asking what connecting power would involve and what it would cost before you commit. It also affects how you would use the property. Summer is the obviou ... click here to read more

Main house and grounds

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

You wake up to absolute quiet. Not the muffled quiet of a city apartment with earplugs in — real quiet, the kind where you can hear a woodpecker working a pine tree fifty meters away and the faint lap of water at the bottom of the plot. That's a morning at Öjarn 610 in Strömsund, Jämtland. The coffee is on the wood-burning stove, the kitchen window is cracked open, and the only thing on your agenda is deciding whether to take the boat out first or walk the forest trail first. This is a two-bedroom Swedish country home sitting on two separate plots — a combined 4,246 square meters of land — with an official easement granting a boat mooring and boathouse on the second plot. That last detail matters more than it might sound. Boat mooring rights in this part of Sweden are genuinely hard to come by, and having it deeded as an easement means it's yours legally, year after year, not a handshake arrangement with a neighbor. The house itself is 86 square meters across two floors. Downstairs you have the kitchen, living room, one bedroom, and the bathroom. The kitchen is a proper working space — stove, refrigerator, freezer, and room enough for a table where six people can eat without anyone getting elbow-to-elbow. The bathroom includes a shower, a Separett composting toilet (the kind of low-maintenance, eco-conscious system that makes complete sense in a nature-forward property like this), a washbasin, and both a washing machine and tumble dryer. Practical things that matter when you're spending more than a weekend here. The wood-burning stove in the living area anchors the whole ground floor. Evenings in October, when the temperature outside drops and the smell of birch smoke fills the room, it becomes the center of the house ... click here to read more

Stand at the edge of the garden on a September morning and you'll hear nothing but the creek. Not silence exactly — the water moves over the stones with a low, unhurried murmur, and somewhere further back in the trees a woodpecker is at work. This is Turabygget 132. A 1910 country home on a 3,625-square-meter plot in rural Skåne, Sweden, and the kind of place that people drive past, slow down, and quietly file away in the back of their mind. The property sits just outside Örkelljunga, a small Swedish village in the northwest corner of Skåne that most international buyers haven't discovered yet — which is precisely part of the appeal. About two kilometers from the village center, the house backs up against a converted railway line now used exclusively as a cycling and walking path. On summer evenings you'll see locals gliding past on their bikes toward town, and in winter the same trail becomes a quiet corridor through snow-covered pine. You can walk to the ICA grocery store, the local library, or the café on Storgatan without once touching a main road. That's a rare thing. The main house is 50 square meters — compact, honest, and ready for someone with vision. Built in 1910 and connected to municipal water and electricity, it offers a real working foundation rather than starting from scratch. The bones are there. What it needs is attention: new interiors, updated fixtures, the kind of hands-on work that rewards patience and results in a home that's genuinely yours. For buyers who want to inherit someone else's renovation decisions, this isn't it. For those who want to impose their own, this is exactly it. But the house is almost secondary to what surrounds it. The plot is generous by any measure — just over a third of ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells of pine resin and wet grass, the kind of clean that cities never quite manage. The garden at Fensbol stretches out ahead of you — 1,600 square meters of open lawn, mature trees throwing long shadows across the ground — and somewhere down the gravel road a woodpecker is going at an old birch. This is what a Swedish summer holiday actually feels like, and this 1909 country home puts you right in the middle of it. Built when craftsmen took their time, the house carries that era quietly. The timber frame, the proportions of the windows, the way the structure sits low and solid against the landscape — none of it shouts for attention, and that's exactly the point. At 92 square meters of living space, the home is compact without feeling cramped. Three bedrooms mean you can bring the whole family or leave one room for a standing desk and a view of the tree line. A living room, a functional kitchen with that particular worn-in warmth you can't recreate with a renovation, and a shower bathroom. It's honest space. Nothing pretentious, nothing wasted. The kitchen is worth a moment. Yes, it carries an older standard — but older here means deep windowsills wide enough to rest a coffee cup, timber joinery that hasn't been laminated into submission, and a general feeling that food cooked here will taste better. Plenty of buyers will want to update it over time, and the bones make that easy. Or don't touch it. The rustic character holds up fine. Fensbol itself is a small settlement sitting about 10 kilometers north of Torsby along Route 239, the kind of road that rolls through forest clearings and past mirrored lakes you'll want to stop and photograph. Torsby is the main town in northe ... click here to read more

Stand on the plot at Gryttjom Norra Bullerbacken on a June morning and you'll hear almost nothing — a wood pigeon somewhere in the birches, a distant tractor, wind moving through long grass. That's the deal here. Quiet of the kind that's genuinely hard to find in Europe for under thirty thousand euros. This is a one-bedroom country cottage sitting on a 1,025-square-meter plot in Gryttjom Norra Bullerbacken, a rural hamlet just outside Österbybruk in Östhammars municipality, Uppsala County. The price reflects the property's condition honestly: it needs work. Real work. Electricity, water, and sewage connections are not currently in place, and the cottage itself carries the wear of its years. But the bones are there, the land is generous, and for a certain kind of buyer — the one who's been scrolling listings for months looking for a blank slate in the Swedish countryside — this is exactly what that search has been building toward. Österbybruk itself is one of those Swedish towns that doesn't shout about its history but rewards those who look. The old ironworks at its center, Österbybruks bruk, dates to the 16th century and is one of the best-preserved ironworks estates in the country. The manor house and its grounds host summer concerts and cultural events that draw people from Uppsala and Stockholm — not the huge festival crowds, but the kind of gathering where you end up talking to the same people for three evenings in a row. The weekly market in summer brings local producers: cloudberry jam, smoked perch from Lake Tämnaren, freshly dug new potatoes that actually taste like something. Lake Tämnaren sits about fifteen kilometers west and is one of Uppland's most ecologically rich lakes — flat, wide, surrounded by reed ... click here to read more

On a still July morning in Grillby, the air smells of pine resin and cut grass. A woodpecker hammers at the birch tree near the old pergola. You're standing in 2,660 square meters of your own Swedish countryside, coffee in hand, and the nearest neighbor is far enough away that you can hear the silence. That's not a marketing line — it's Tuesday here. Boglösa Blacksta 12 is a 1929-built Swedish summer cottage sitting on a generous rural plot in Enköping Municipality, about 80 kilometers west of Stockholm and 40 kilometers from Uppsala. Two bedrooms, 51 square meters of living space, a separate guest cottage, a root cellar, an old pergola, and that enormous garden that immediately starts plotting what it could become. The property is priced at €59,500 and sold in good condition with a disclaimer clause, which is standard practice in Sweden for older rural properties — it simply means the buyer takes ownership of the property as-is, and surveys are conducted before signing. For international buyers, this is a well-worn process with good legal protections in place. Let's be honest about what this place is. It's not a turnkey holiday villa. The interiors are older standard — think original 1920s construction bones, the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't exist anymore, buried under layers of wallpaper and time. The guest cottage needs work. So do some of the outbuildings. But that's precisely why the price is what it is, and why the right buyer — someone who sees past the surface and has a plan — will find serious value here. Swedish country cottages with this much land, this close to major cities, at this price point are increasingly rare. People from Stockholm and Uppsala have been snapping them up for decades precisely be ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the main house and garden

Early July morning: you pull open the kitchen window and the smell hits you first — cut grass, pine resin, and something faintly mineral from Västlandasjön just down the path. The lake is maybe a four-minute walk. You could be in the water before the coffee finishes brewing. This is what Lövsångarstigen 3 feels like on a Tuesday morning, and it's the kind of thing you stop taking for granted roughly never. Sundänge sits in the quiet outer orbit of Köping, the kind of Swedish countryside community that locals quietly love and rarely advertise. The plot at number 3 is a generous 1,278 square metres — big enough that you genuinely have to decide what to do with it. Most of the year, the answer involves a garden chair, direct sun, and very little ambition. In spring, it's all hands on deck for the kitchen garden, where the soil is deep and the growing season in Västmanland runs longer than most outsiders expect. The main house dates to 1967 and carries that straightforward, no-nonsense Swedish summer cottage character that architects have been trying to replicate ever since. At 35 square metres, it's honest about what it is: one well-proportioned open-plan room where the kitchen flows into the living space, and large windows that frame the garden like a painting you never tire of. A sofa bed means you're not wasting space on a dedicated bedroom when the room earns its keep as the gathering spot for everything else.

Picture this: a Saturday morning in late June, the kind where the Swedish sun has been up since four, and you're sitting on a wide timber terrace with a mug of coffee going cold because you keep stopping to watch a pair of wagtails dart across the lawn. The garden stretches out in front of you — 1,386 square metres of it — and the only sound is the wind moving through the birch trees along the property's edge. This is Danielsvägen 16 in Gropvik, a genuine little Swedish sommarstuga that doesn't try to be anything other than exactly what it is. The house sits at the very top of a quiet residential lane, which matters more than it sounds. There's almost no through traffic. Neighbours exist, but you don't feel them. It's the kind of street where kids still play in the road and everyone knows which bicycle belongs to which house. Built in 1965 and maintained in good condition, the cottage covers 45 square metres inside — compact, yes, but thought through. The living room pulls you in immediately. Exposed ceiling beams run the length of the room, and an open fireplace anchors one wall. Come September, when the evenings start to bite, that fireplace earns its place. The warmth it throws is the soft, specific kind you only get from wood, not radiators. The kitchen sits adjacent, practical and connected, opening naturally toward the rear terrace — which is where you'll spend most of your time from Midsommar through to the August crayfish parties. That terrace. It's large enough for a proper dining table plus a set of loungers, and it catches the afternoon light at an angle that makes every meal feel like it was planned that way. There's a bedroom and a shower room rounding out the interior — everything you actually need, noth ... click here to read more

Front view of the holiday home

Step outside on a July morning and you can already smell the salt before you see the water. From the elevated plot at Norra Starrkärr 215, the Swedish west coast spreads out below you — granite outcrops, pine ridges, and somewhere beyond the tree line, the glittering edge of the Bohuslän archipelago. The ferry horn from the Orust crossing drifts up on the breeze. That crossing is three minutes away by car. The sea itself is 500 meters down the path. This is a small place in the best possible sense. Twenty square meters, built in 1940, the kind of compact Swedish summer cabin that generations of families have used as a launchpad for long days rather than a place to stay indoors. A single-room layout with space for sleeping, a kitchenette, and a sitting area where the large windows do most of the heavy lifting — framing a view that a much grander property would envy. It's move-in ready and genuinely functional as a vacation home right now, today, without a renovation project standing between you and your first summer on the west coast. But what gives this particular plot its edge isn't the cabin. It's the building permit already in place for an additional house of approximately 59 square meters. That's rare. Planning permissions along the Swedish west coast, especially within reach of the water, have become harder to secure as coastal protection regulations have tightened over the years. Someone has already done that work here. You're buying a 20-square-meter retreat with an 849-square-meter plot and a legal pathway to build something substantially larger — whether that means a proper year-round home, a second cabin for family or rental guests, or a studio workshop beside the original cottage. The infrastructure is alre ... click here to read more

37 m² Winterized holiday home on Kvarnholsvägen 39 Torgås Malung-Sälens kommun

If you’re an overseas buyer looking for a slice of Swedish countryside living, this farmhouse in Mora could be the perfect spot for you. Tucked at the end of a quiet road, this property offers a peaceful retreat with hunting rights and views to spare. The farmhouse itself dates back to the late 1600s and was relocated to its current charming setting in the early 1800s. It's got a story to tell, with its solid timber frame and vintage tiled stoves that have seen many a chilly winter night. Now, let's talk more about this farmhouse and its surroundings. First off, Mora is a small, cozy town known for its serene lifestyle and beautiful landscapes, making it a charm for those looking to escape city hustle. At 58 hectares, the farm proposes plenty of land for those with agricultural ambitions or who simply want space to roam. There's even a forestry plan already in place, saving you a few steps in potential land development. And if you’re the kind of person who likes to get their own logs for a cozy fire, this place has you covered. The main house features a robust construction, offering four bedrooms and two bathrooms, complemented by well-worn floorboards and a farmhouse kitchen that's straight out of a magazine, complete with an Italian gas stove. Whether it's summer or winter, the huge living room with its functioning tiled stove is a great gathering spot for family and friends. Double doors in the dining room open out to a wrap-around terrace, perfect for those long, summer evenings—or perhaps even catching a glimpse of the dazzling Northern Lights in winter.

8 room farm with agriculture at Bår Mats-Pers 100 Möklinta Sala municipality

Stand on the hillside at Heden 42 on a clear October night and the sky does something you won't forget. No streetlights, no neighbors close enough to matter, just the Northern Lights rippling green and violet over the Västerdalälven valley below. This is Storstensgård — a 4.4-hectare estate outside the village of Nås in Dalarna's Vansbro municipality — and this is the kind of moment that explains why people buy a property like this and never look back. The estate takes its name from a natural stone monolith standing over five meters tall at the center of the grounds. That stone has been here longer than the farmhouse, longer than the historic entrance pillars, longer than the original photographs preserved inside the main house that show female soldiers billeted on the property in an earlier century. There's a tangible weight of story here, and the land holds it quietly. The main house dates to 1889. You enter through a glass veranda — the kind of addition that Scandinavian farmhouses have always used to trap winter light — and immediately the high ceilings and original roof lines tell you this was built by people who cared about proportion. The wooden floors have been lived on for over a century. The living room centers on a wood-burning stove, and in January, when Dalarna's temperatures drop hard and the surrounding fields go white and silent, that stove becomes the heart of the entire house. There's also an air-to-air heat pump for the days when you want warmth without the ritual of splitting logs. The kitchen is genuinely large — large enough for a dining table that seats eight without anyone feeling crowded — and it has both a wood stove and a pizza oven. Not ornamental. Actually used. Fully fitted with built-in ... click here to read more
