How to live in the Swedish wilderness: a tour of a typical wooden house

A small wooden cottage in Hultsfred, Sweden, has become a cozy home for a young family who decided to leave behind the hustle and bustle of the big city and enjoy the tranquility.

This cottage is a true embodiment of the tales of Astrid Lindgren and is located on the outskirts of Hultsfred. In this town, there are about 5000 inhabitants, which, by the standards of many countries, is considered a village. However, for Sweden, it is already considered a small town with full infrastructure. Although such settlements often attract retirees (young people prefer to live in larger cities).

This cottage stands out for its spacious plot of land, but it is worth noting the absence of a regular bathroom — there is only a sauna and a separate toilet.

The new owners plan to make changes to the interior of the house to make the veranda a cozy place to relax.

Despite some inconveniences, such as the lack of a regular bathroom and layout features, the family sees potential in this house.

The purchase of this cottage became possible because the previous owners moved to the city, and nobody lived in the house for several years, which led to a 30% decrease in its price.

It is prohibited to build other large structures on the cottage’s plot, but the new owners already envision their home as the perfect place for a quiet and peaceful life.
