A picturesque town by lake Mälaren 50 min from Stockholm, Sweden

We already have plans for the Summer of 2024. But are opened for suggestions on shorter swaps closer to Sweden in Fall or Winter.

A former Stockholm family consisting of Anna, Ted and our two teenagers Inez (18) and Elsa (16). The dream of high quality living brought us to this beautiful and cultural town Strängnäs, only about 50 minutes by train from Stockholm. Clean, safe, close to the nature, right by the Lake Mälaren, restaurants, shops, old city center, and a nice harbour. Here you enjoy great outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, sailing, canoeing and swimming. Both Strängnäs and the surrounding areas offer great cultural activities as well. Strängnäs is wellknown for its old cathedral (built 1250) and windmill (1855).

So if you are looking for a beautiful town where you don´t need a car but still have close access to Stockholm this is the perfect match. The center of Strängnäs is only 5 minutes biking distance away and the train station about 10 minutes. We offer bikes for you to use. The lake Mälaren is visible from our house and located about 300 meters from our house. In the Winter it is possible to go skating or skiing on the lake.

Our house was built in 1933 and is located in an old preserved residential area with big gardens along the waterfront. We have a big lush garden that contains big oak trees, raspberries and apples. The garden also offers garden furniture to enjoy meals outside. For the cold season there are 2 open fires, a tile stove and a sauna to warm you up.
