A Country Idyll near Lake Yxningen in East Sweden for $178,000

Tucked into the countryside near Ringarum, Sjögården is a private rural property set just a short walk from Lake Yxningen. Surrounded by open fields and forest, it offers a secluded setting while remaining within easy reach of larger towns, including Norrköping and Linköping.

The main house dates back to the 19th century and spans approximately 142 sq m. It retains many original features, including working tiled stoves, an iron stove, a fireplace, plank floors, and traditional windows and doors.

These details are paired with practical updates that make the house suitable for year-round living, including electricity, a private drilled well, a modern sewage system, and fiber internet.

The layout includes three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen fitted with a dishwasher, as well as a separate entrance. A toilet and a large attic add further flexibility. Positioned on slightly elevated ground, the house looks out across the surrounding landscape.

A secondary building, known as the “magasinet,” provides additional living space. It includes a recently renovated bathroom with a shower and washing machine, a living area with a small kitchen, and a large bedroom upstairs.

There is also a substantial barn arranged in an L-shape, offering ample space for storage, workshop use, or potential adaptation for hobbies or small-scale animal keeping.

The garden is established with fruit trees, berry bushes, and a variety of plantings, creating a natural outdoor space that changes with the seasons.

A short walk from the house leads to the shoreline of Lake Yxningen, where the property includes access to a private pier and boat mooring in a sheltered bay.

The house is listed for sale at Skandia Mäklarna.
