A charming house in an idyllic southern Swedish village - near Malmö, Lund, Copenhagen

Our beloved house is more than a hundred years old and is located in the middle of Torna Hällestad. It's built in traditional style, but has been renovated several times. The property includes a 1,000 square meter garden with patio, large lawn, fruit trees and small plantations. Torna Hällestad is set in a hilly landscape surrounded by nature reserves and paddocks. Many city dwellers find their way here on weekends to experience nature. Electric vehicle? We have a charging station, Type 2.

A great intervac exchange. We have done many but this was one of the best. Great house, lovely garden and a nice village. Joakim and Birgitte are great people and all the communications very good. The picture off the garden does get how good the garden actually is.
