    Description

    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 issues and with the 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.

    We like outdoors - hiking, fishing, boating, hunting, sauna, hottub, bbq or just to enjoy the wilderness, 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 pickup point a 40 min bus ride north of Östersund.

    Please give a comprehensive description so we get a good feeling for you.
    A chat is recommended for exchanging details
