A 1900 Country House on Sweden’s West Coast – $305,000

Set along a gently winding gravel road lined with rural cottages and horse farms, this characterful property in Hässleröd offers a rare combination of countryside living and easy access to the city.

Dating back to 1900, the main house is rich in charm and brimming with potential, inviting a new owner to restore, adapt, and make it their own.

The property sits on a generous 1,656 sq m plot, where a lush, established garden unfolds with multiple pockets for play, relaxation, and outdoor living. It’s a setting that feels idyllic for families, with plenty of space for children to roam freely and for summer days to be spent under open skies.

The house itself measures approximately 121 sq m with an additional 32 sq m, and has a well-considered, spacious layout across two floors, plus a practical basement.

You enter into a welcoming hallway with room for coats and shoes. To the right is a laundry room, while to the left, one of the four bedrooms is conveniently located on the entrance level, ideal for guests, home working, or multigenerational living.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen, a generous and sociable space where the whole family can gather around the table. Large windows look out across the surrounding meadows, creating a constant connection to the landscape outside.

Adjacent is the living room, which comfortably accommodates both a dining area and seating, making it a natural hub for entertaining and family life.

A staircase from the living room leads to the upper floor, where the remaining three bedrooms are found. Two are well-proportioned, one featuring a walk-in closet tucked into the attic, and another offering ample space for built-in storage. The largest bedroom is particularly spacious and features a WC with toilet and washbasin.

Below the house, a basement provides additional practical spaces, including a boiler room, storage areas, and a workbench, perfect for hobbies, DIY projects, or extra storage.

Hässleröd is an ideal location for those seeking the balance between rural tranquillity and urban convenience. Uddevalla city centre is just a seven-minute drive away, offering a train station, restaurants, cafés, bars, and a wide range of shops. For larger retail needs, Torp Shopping Centre and IKEA are also within easy reach.

The area is especially attractive for families, with school options such as Sommarhemsskolan and Forshällaskolan nearby, and a school bus stopping on the main road. For nature lovers, the sea is within cycling distance, making it easy to combine everyday life with swimming, walking, and outdoor adventures.
