A Historic Croft Renovation Project near Lake Vendel for $72,000

Hidden among open fields and lush greenery, Koxut is the kind of place where life naturally slows down. Set on a generous 2,133-square-meter plot, this traditional red Swedish croft offers a rare opportunity to embrace the simplicity of country living in a setting defined by peace, privacy and timeless rural charm.

From the moment you arrive, the property captures the essence of a classic Swedish croft. The surrounding landscape provides an ever-changing backdrop throughout the seasons, while the quiet location creates an atmosphere where birdsong and rustling trees replace the sounds of everyday life.

Inside, the home has retained many of its original character features, creating a warm and inviting interior filled with history. Wooden floors run throughout the house, while two beautiful tiled stoves and a traditional wood-burning stove reinforce the authentic period atmosphere.

The tiled stove on the entrance floor, together with the wood stove, has been inspected and approved for use, providing both practical heating and a cozy focal point during the colder months. Upstairs, a second tiled stove remains as an elegant reminder of the property’s heritage.

The croft comprises three rooms, each with its own distinct character. Exposed timber beams on the upper floor add to the home’s rustic appeal, while windows frame peaceful views of the surrounding countryside. Whether used as a permanent residence or a weekend retreat, the interiors offer a comfortable setting where traditional details take center stage.

Outside, the spacious plot leaves plenty of room for gardening, outdoor dining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the natural surroundings. Smaller outbuildings provide practical storage for firewood, tools, or hobby equipment, enhancing the property’s functionality while preserving its traditional farmstead feel.

The property is connected to electricity but does not have water or sewage, making it particularly well suited for buyers seeking an authentic croft experience or a simple holiday home where a slower pace of life comes naturally.

Although Koxut feels wonderfully secluded, everyday conveniences remain within easy reach. The nearby village of Örbyhus offers a grocery store, school and local services, while the historic Örbyhus Castle and Örbyhus Golf Club provide opportunities for recreation and leisure.

Uppsala can be reached in around 25 minutes by car, while Stockholm is approximately an hour away, making it possible to combine peaceful country living with access to the city’s amenities.

The house is listed at Fastighetsbyran Uppsala.
