Beschreibung
A beautiful place in the wild.
Background
We acquired the property 2010 and have developed an eco friendly place having lots of fun with family, friends and volunteers. We try to mix origin, interests and genders.
Activities
Tor works mainly with land, forest management, landscaping and fix old buildings
Madeleine works with antique renovating old things and fixing/furnishing inside
Of course there is a diversity of projects, tasks and daily routines around the property.
We like fishing, boating, hunting, sauna, hottub, bbq share all walks of lifeor just to enjoy the nature, quietness, northern lights etc
Once a week we go to Ostersund, the main city of the province of Jamtland, for groceries, shopping, events etc
You reach the city of Ostersund by car, train, bus or air that is all on the Internet.
Häggenås is our normal pickup point a 40 min bus ride north of Östersund.
Often we can match our visit to town with coming/leaving.
Please give a comprehensive description so we get a good feeling for you.
A chat is recommended for exchanging details whatsup or similar. -
