Farmhouse

Älvsjö Herrgården


Are you looking for silence and relaxation in nature? Then you've come to the right place. Offer for up to 6 people from 19/5 to 2/6 1500 Euro and from 6 to 13 July 2024 for 860 Euro. An offer also applies in September. Please contact us for a tailor-made offer.
Welcome to the Herrgården. The farmhouse from 1883 is a spacious place to slow down a few gears and enjoy the rising and setting sun, bird sounds, ever-changing light on the lake and the wind in the trees. The rental includes fast unlimited internet, electricity and firewood, so you know exactly where you stand. Always a starter pack in the kitchen. If you also rent sheets, you will also find your beds made.
The Herrgården has an area of 220 m2, but due to the division into an upper and a lower floor, it is also very cozy and pleasant for 2 people or a small family. With 5 bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living rooms, a dining room and a large kitchen, it can accommodate up to 10 people. If you are willing to share the kitchen, this farm is an option for two families who want to spend a holiday together. The house is equipped with many amenities, but the level of finishing is simple and not all rooms have been renovated in style. All rooms, except one, are very spacious. There are large dining tables in both the kitchen and the dining room, two modern bathrooms, a cozy fireplace and several wood-burning stoves, as well as central heating throughout the house connected to a heat pump. There is a grand piano in the downstairs living room and a TV with casting options in the upstairs living room. Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher and music system available. Fiber optic high speed internet. The Herrgården is well insulated and carefully renovated, including a beautiful veranda and is characterized by traditional Swedish tiled stoves and wooden beams. You have a view of the private lake from the kitchen, the dining room, the downstairs living room and one of the bedrooms. The house is equipped with useful items and appropriate antique utensils. The kitchen is equipped with many appliances and kitchen utensils for extensive cooking. There are also comfortable mattresses and beds everywhere, several sofas and comfortable armchairs.

The Herrgården offers a lot of privacy, only the immediate neighbors at 200 meters are within sight. The natural beauty is overwhelming, lakes and rivers and beautiful forests in abundance. There is no paved road from the hamlet and there is silence around the house, which is only broken by the sounds of nature - and occasionally by crunching stones under the tires of a single car or the rushing water in the dam in the distance. You have to drive a long way (20 to 40 km) for groceries or a café/terrace and this makes the house not suitable for everyone. There are of course many different day trips possible, for example to museums, a spa, outdoor centers, the locks of the Bergslag Canal, the Wasa shop, nice small towns, old Finnish settlements, and cities such as Karlstad, Mora and Örebro. At the same time, the nature here is so breathtaking that most guests prefer hiking and canoeing, making fires, picking berries, fishing, swimming, watching moose or simply relaxing with a book to going out by car every day. Before you arrive you will receive a document with information about outings, restaurants, shops, skiing and cross-country skiing options and walks.

Layout of the outside area:
At the front door of the Herrgården there is a large veranda with a dining table and at the back a picnic table and a large lawn leading to the lake. At the edge of the garden there is a wood shed with a roof, where you can sit outside even if it rains. At the bottom of the garden with berry bushes and fruit trees is a large wooden deck with barbecue/fire pit and fantastic views. At the edge of the water there is another jetty with a bench and steps for easy swimming.

There are various canoes with accessories that can be used in consultation. There are also children's paddles and children's life jackets for canoeing. The village is located on the famous canoe river Svartalv, where multi-day trips are also possible. You can paddle back and forth in a southerly direction on the very light-flowing river that, after the village, crosses a very beautiful nature reserve without roads and with tributaries and lake branches. In a northerly direction the river is a lake with islands where canoeing is also a great adventure. There is a public swimming beach 2 km away with bathing huts and a long jetty that you can reach on foot, by canoe, by bicycle or by car. If you have any questions about the presence of certain things in the house or the surrounding area, please feel free to ask us.

In 2000 we bought our red house Berkenheuvel and in 2006 the Herrgården. Fantastic places to enjoy Swedish country life. Near Berkenheuvel you will find many amenities and villages. The Herrgården offers unique enjoyment far from everywhere. You are very welcome in both houses.
