  • Description

    Description

    Hi all, we're Caroline (33) and Joren (32), a Belgian couple who moved permanently to the beautiful province of Värmland in south Sweden last year. Together with our 2 fur babies, Franco and Maestro, we live in a typical Swedish wooden house, surrounded by 50 hectares of forest. We aspire to become self-sufficient on our little slice of paradise, growing veggies, chopping our own firewood and hopefully extend our menagerie in the future with chickens, bunnies, perhaps a few sheep, etc.

Our home has all the modern facilities you need: bathroom with hot shower, 2 separate toilets, fully-equipped kitchen, wood stove, living room with television, a large garden and 50 hectares of private forest.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    You will need your own car to get around here. Shops, restaurants, swimming pool, etc. are ca. 15 minutes by car. Oslo is ca. 2 hours driving and Karlstad a bit over an hour. The area is especially known for its beautiful nature, forests and lakes. This is a perfect place for people who'd like to find some peace and quiet and escape the hectic world for a while.
