A Central Sweden Country Idyll with a Guest House for $304,000

As if lifted straight from the pages of an Astrid Lindgren tale, this enchanting property offers a rare blend of rural idyll and modern accessibility. Tucked away in a serene setting beside Risbrodammen, yet only minutes from the vibrant rhythm of the city, this is a place where time seems to slow.

A quiet road winds gently through a grove of trees, opening onto a lush and peaceful landscape. Here, at the heart of nature, stands a charming 1930s croft, carefully preserved and thoughtfully enhanced to meet the needs of contemporary living while honoring its original soul.

Set on a generous and beautifully arranged plot, the estate offers far more than a single residence. Alongside the main house, two detached guesthouses provide flexible accommodation, ideal for visiting family and friends, creative pursuits, or even rental opportunities.

A spacious barn adds yet another dimension, offering abundant storage or the perfect setting for hobbies, workshops, or artistic projects.

Here, you’ll wake to birdsong and open skies, with nature quite literally at your doorstep. Spend your days fishing in the tranquil waters of Risbrodammen, enjoying coffee beneath blooming apple trees, or simply unwinding in the stillness of the surrounding landscape.

Yet convenience is never far away. Within minutes, you can reach the city’s amenities, while golf enthusiasts will appreciate the close proximity to Sands Golf Club.

The property transforms beautifully throughout the year. In winter, it becomes a quiet, snow-covered fairytale. In spring and summer, the garden bursts into life, lush, colorful, and inviting.

Currently a full-time residence, this home is equally suited as a weekend escape or holiday retreat for those seeking a peaceful refuge from urban life.
