A Home with Character and Comfort
The main building, a solid timber house, was thoughtfully relocated to this idyllic site in the 1970s and has since been modernized to blend comfort with its rustic allure. As you step inside, a welcoming hallway leads you to a modern bathroom equipped with a WC and shower, ensuring convenience for you and your guests.
The heart of the home is the spacious living area, where a kitchen, dining area, and lounge come together in an open and inviting space. The kitchen is a true highlight, featuring a beautiful Bolinders wood stove and a large open fireplace with an insert stove, perfect for cozy evenings spent with family or friends.
Upstairs, a finished room offers versatility as a bedroom, office, or hobby space, while an unfinished area presents potential for further development according to your needs. The house is heated by a modern air-source heat pump and direct electric heating, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons.
Embrace the Outdoors
The garden is a true haven for nature lovers and gardening enthusiasts, with a greenhouse and raised beds ready for cultivation. A traditional log-built, wood-fired sauna with an outdoor shower provides the perfect spot to unwind after a day of outdoor activities.
Additional outbuildings include a 'härbre' (a traditional Swedish storehouse) with a storage room on the ground floor and a heated guest room upstairs, complete with its own small stove and electricity. There is also a woodshed and an outdoor toilet, adding to the authentic rural experience.
Modern Conveniences in a Rural Setting
Water is supplied by a private drilled well (summer water), and there is access to a year-round forest spring. The property is equipped with a three-chamber septic tank, and fiber-optic broadband has been installed, ensuring fast internet for both work and leisure. This makes the house suitable not only as a holiday retreat but also as a potential permanent residence for those seeking a quieter lifestyle without sacrificing modern conveniences.
