A Historic 1912 Rectory on the Banks of the Klarälven River for $369,000

Set in a peaceful, private position beside the Klarälven River, this impressive former rectory dates to 1912 and offers a rare combination of historic character, generous proportions, and beautiful natural surroundings.

With more than 300 square meters of living space and a large 17,047-square-meter plot, it is a substantial country home with plenty of room both inside and out.

The two-story villa has a living area of 305 square meters, plus an additional 115 square meters in a separate dwelling. Its ten rooms include five bedrooms, making this a home that can comfortably accommodate a large family while still providing plenty of space for guests, home offices, and social areas.

Much of the appeal lies in the original turn-of-the-century details preserved throughout the house. High ceilings enhance the sense of space, while herringbone parquet flooring brings warmth and elegance to the interiors.

Several of the main rooms are arranged in a traditional sequence, connected by classic sliding doors that can be opened to create large, flowing spaces for entertaining.

The generous room sizes are typical of a house of this period. Large living areas provide plenty of flexibility, whether used as formal sitting and dining rooms or adapted to suit a more relaxed modern lifestyle.

The combination of high ceilings, substantial windows, and spacious proportions also allows natural light to move easily through the home.

With ten rooms in total, there is considerable scope to create different zones within the house. The five bedrooms offer ample accommodation, while the remaining rooms can serve as libraries, studies, additional lounges, or guest spaces. Despite its size, the period details and traditional layout give the house a sense of character that reflects its history as a rectory.

The setting is equally important. The house stands on a plot of just over 1.7 hectares, surrounded by greenery and positioned next to the Klarälven River. Mature vegetation naturally frames the property, creating privacy and separating it from its surroundings. From the grounds and house, calming views of the water reinforce the property’s secluded character.

The house is listed for sale at LF Fastighetsförmedling.
