The only property of its kind in Sweden - perhaps the world!

This is possibly the only property of its kind in the whole of Sweden and perhaps the world! It is unique in its design and the privileged location on which it sits with its own private beach on the banks of the River Skelleftea River, just 7km from the town of Skelleftea, marks it out as being particularly special.

The property is constructed from Russian pine and offers the highest specifications with larger than normal sized timber (logs for houses are normally 16 cm; these are 23 cm), providing a higher level of insulation and low carbon emission. The house boasts an expensive eco heating system based on using deep holes into the ground to secure the earth’s core heat, with pipes that heat the water for the under floor heating at very low cost. Triple glazing throughout plus 95mm insulation on the inside all complement the exceptional underground heating.

The owner of the property was the inspiration behind this amazing property. From the age of 10 years he had dreamt of such a home and sought a Russian architect, who could advise him in the creation of such a special home. He is thrilled with the result – but now wants to sell to begin another creation!

This is a bespoke build with stunning rooms enhanced with high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows for panoramic views. The main house has five bedrooms and five bathrooms and there is also a spacious two bedroom apartment.

The plot is 2626 sq metres and surrounded by stunning natural surroundings that give privacy, calm and tranquillity.

This is a home that “brings within” the stunning exterior. In a luxurious bubble of 21st century living one can be at home with the outside world whether in the winter, warm and cosy with a landscape of snow or in the summer sitting in the hot tub on the terrace listening to the river lapping against the private beach. Whatever “rocks your boat”, this property has it in abundance!

Included in the price is a wide variety of sports equipment and “toys” including:
- 2 snowmobiles
- 2 canoes
- 1 jet ski
- A quad bike
- 1 motorboat
- 4 mountain bikes
- A Volvo Xross Country 4 WD
- And much more including all the furniture in the house!

The area itself is perfect for outdoor pursuits including skiing, canoeing kayaking, horseback riding, mountain biking, tennis, sailing and fishing; this  is a popular holiday destination. It is known as the sunshine coast with the ocean just 5km distant. In the nearby town there is everything from restaurants, bars and theatres to three indoor shopping centres. The area’s economy is built on manufacturing, tourism and the service industries. More than half the residents understand English.

If you are looking for a “get away from it all” and a "Unique way Living" the property offers the very highest specifications, then this may be the home for you. If outdoor sports and recreation is your interest then you are perhaps never going to find anything better than this amazing home. PRICE £1,057,193 approx / 1,400,000 Euros
