Alright folks, here's a great oportunity. I've been runnig around showing homes left right and centre but honestly, country homes in Sweden like this hardly pop up and they always get snatched up fairly quickley, especially by those of you searching internationally for that dream summer escape in the Swedish countryside. I get lots of enquires from foreign buyers looking for something with space, a bit of privacy, and that proper countryside vibe – Svedlunds väg 1 near Lake Tisaren really hits those boxes for a good price, so let me lay it out for you while I'm between calls.
So, this property is situated just outside Hallsberg, in the little area of Tisarbaden, very close to Lake Tisaren. Sweden itself is obviously known for beutiful forests and clean nature, but this area is kind of hidden away, so it’s not swarmed with tourists—you can actually enjoy some peace and quiet. Local life here is quite relaxed, you’ve got friendly neighbours but not too close, and there's a real mix of holiday cottages and permanent residents. People here keep to themselves but are always happy to lend a hand if you need to borrow a tool or need tips about fishing in the lake.
The lake is a huge draw, just around 150 meters from the house, so honestly if you love swimming, paddleboarding, kayakking or just want to lounge by the water during the long Swedish summer days, this is really the perfect spot. For the fishing fans, there’s even fishing rights—including crayfish if you like those (just need to follow local regs). The boat mooring is included, which is quite handy, as gliding out on the mirror-calm lake early mornings is what owning a place like this is all about.
Let me walk you through the property itself. It's not a big house – 32 square meters in the main cottage, plus two smaller guest houses on the plot. You’ve got approx 1,300 square meters of land, so actually a nice chunk of garden to grow vegetables, lay out sunbeds, or just let the grass and wildflowers do their thing. The lawn's pretty established, dotted with trees and hedges for a bit of shade, so you won’t feel overlooked. In my experience, families use spaces like this for summer games, BBQs and loads of outdoor life.
The main house was built in 1945, and inside it’s got that classic Swedish holiday property look. It's compact, laid-out well and easy to heat and clean. I’ll be honest—there’s nothing ‘fancy’ here, you won’t find underfloor heating or marble countertops, but it’s solid, warm, and has everything you need for weekend and summer living. There's a decent size living room with space for sofa and dining table, a functional kitchen with everything you need, and a bright bedroom. The large windows bring in loads of light and the wooden interior feels authentic and low maintenance.
A big plus here is the deck—wooden, facing out to the garden, so your breakfasts in the sun or lazy evenings with a glass of wine and a book are all sorted.
The guest houses are a real bonus, especially for those who expect visitors or want a bit of separation for teenagers or home office/hobbies. These are basic but dry and ready for use, would work as extra bedrooms, studios or storage.
The bathroom is simple but functional. Worth mentioning, water is from a deep-well that's shared with a couple of neighbours, which is very normal in Swedish countryside. Municipal connection is already prepped at the site boundary—buyer would have to pay for the hookup at some point but there’s plenty of time to arrange that (deadline is 2030).
On the technical side, condition is generally good but this is still an older holiday property—expect some maintenance and perhaps some updates in the future if you want to upgrade or winterize. But, compared to a lot of similar places, it’s very usable as is, you really can move in from day one and just enjoy the summer.
All the furniture and equipment on site can be included, which is quite handy for overseas buyers—no need to shop for basics the moment you arrive.
A few of the best local activities here:
- Swimming, fishing, canoeing and just relaxing by Lake Tisaren
- Forest walks, mushroom and berry picking (seriously, Swedish nature is amazing)
- Biking and hiking in surrounding woods and trails
- Visiting nearby Askersund town for supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, culture and some nice summer festivals
- Exploring other lakes and outdoor areas nearby
What’s it like living here? Well, you get quiet country mornings, bird song, proper long daylight in summer (June/July, hardly goes dark!), and cooler winters but usually not crazy snowfalls. Locals are friendly but private, and there’s a relaxed pace especially on weekends. Owning a country home here means reading on the porch, lots of outdoor activities, and winding down away from the city hustle – but with real villages and towns not too far off for anything you need.
Here’s a quick list of features:
- Approx. 32 square meters main cottage
- 1 bedroom
- 1 bathroom
- Large sunny deck
- 2 separate guest houses
- 1,330 sqm garden/plot
- Boat mooring & fishing rights in Lake Tisaren
- Well-water for house, lake water for garden
- Prepared for municipal water and sewage
- Simple, usable interior
- Furniture and equipment can be included
So—if you’re searching for a country getaway, holiday base or maybe want a small footprint in Sweden to connect to nature and the outdoors, this could be a great fit. Condition is good, but be prepared for normal countryside maintenance and some future upgrades if you want to winterize. This is country life – green, quiet, low-key and with space to make it your own.
