Our modern holiday home, built in 2018, is located in an old orchard with about 20 fruit trees.
The house is small, with about 40 m2 of floor space, but it is extremely smart and functionally designed and everything you need is there.
The height of the ceiling in the room (almost 5 meters) makes the house feel much larger than it actually is.
And the wide view over the large lake and the rolling landscape on the horizon completes the spatial experience.
The Green Escape is often fully booked early in the season. Since autumn 2023, a new holiday home has been located on the same spacious plot: the Green Horizon Holiday Home (max. 6 people). Perhaps the new house is an alternative. See elsewhere on Micazu!
Back to the Green Escape:
In front of the large south-facing windows, across the entire width of the house, a windowsill has been created as a sitting/lying/hanging area. It is wonderful to curl up on the cushions here with a book or laptop (if the weather is a bit less).
The house offers 4 excellent sleeping accommodations, 2 of which are upstairs, in the bedroom that offers the most beautiful view. There are also a few nice sun loungers, because this view is never boring.
The modern bathroom offers a nice shower, toilet and sink.
The complete kitchen, with a combination microwave/oven, is inviting, but what could be better than cooking outside over a wood fire in our old orchard? A barbecue, cast iron pans and all kinds of other outdoor cooking equipment are standard equipment.
A beautiful south-facing terrace with beautiful views has been built, where you will find a dining table with 4 chairs, a parasol and a seating area. And you can hang the hammock between 2 apple trees...
The house is not called "Green Escape" for nothing.
The plot (2,150 m2) offers plenty of space with wild blackberries, cultivated raspberries, hazelnut trees, 20 apple and pear trees. You will also find a herb garden and a small vegetable garden with sometimes tomatoes or sometimes strawberries or zucchini. And, as our guest, you can harvest what you whiten for your own use.
French monks once brought escargots (vineyard snails) to this area and you can also find them on our plot and everywhere in the area. Tip from one of our guests: Place in a container, let it fast for 2 days, blanch, remove from the shell and fry with garlic and fresh herbs.
Although the house is located in an orchard, there are no tall trees in the immediate area, so we have sun all day long. In the Swedish summer you are quickly talking about from 4:00 am to 10:00 pm!
And to make it extra attractive: Our house includes the use of a 4-person motor boat and a 2-person canoe. Both are located in the harbor of Vånga, about 400 m away. See pictures!
