Original Swedish house from 1905 - with all comfort, boat and veranda!

Dear friends of Sweden,

Welcome and hej hej in Finsjö in our little "Banvaktstuga" at Emån. This house was built in 1905 as a signalman's cottage on the narrow gauge railway line Oskarshamn - Ruda by the Swedish state railway.

The railway line was shut down about 1964 and now you can only guess where the tracks went along ...

We found the house in 2010 and fell in love. Then almost gutted and completely renovated by 2014.

The house has with the bedroom converted attic about 75 sqm area. The large living and dining room has a comfortable, large bed + an armchair, where you can enjoy the evening the crackling fire in the fireplace. In addition, a dining area for 4 adults and an infant is present. The house for the contemplative rather generous kitchen offers a fully fitted kitchen with electric oven, ceramic hob and fridge with freezer. This nestles lovingly at the old cooking place from 1905.

The new bathroom has been built according to German standard, with shower with glass partition, and sink. Likewise a towel warmer is ready!

Separately, there is a toilet with sink.

Changing table, baby cot, high chair and toddler chair are available! Consult us before!

The stairs surprised the beautifully developed attic as a spacious bedroom with a double bed (visually separated behind the old chimney) and two single beds. In addition, you will find cots. The outlook through the trees to the river invites you to dream.

A true living area offers a covered veranda. This is with your about 20 m² of space to relax par. There is a table with 4 chairs, and 2 lounge chairs with coffee table to relax ready. Of course, everything in white Sweden style. The stainless steel grill then also offers the kulinatischen frame.

For our children (2 and 4 years) we closed the veranda with a child safety device to the garden. This can be often used. This enabled him to always play relaxed on the porch, without that we had concerns. (For dogs, of course, this is also quite practical ;-))
Alternatively, this parental lock is also there to hedge the oven.

On the porch, we are a small sandbox. In addition, the garden is still hanging a hammock.

In addition to hot and cold running water and electricity ;-) course you will also satellite TV with international channels available.

The beautiful red and white small house located on the peaceful outskirts of Finsjö and is situated on a 1 acre lot with 800 mature trees right on the river Emån. In the Uthus - the garden house - is also wood for the stove, if it is too cold, or the evening just a little more romantic should be :-)

30m behind the house it goes down to the jetty directly on the river. There lies our boat - the "old Swede". Here the angler's heart beat higher - which angler does not dream of a holiday * almost in the river * :-) But also for non-anglers a boat trip over the river and the directly adjacent small reservoir is a pleasure.

- We have 5 lifejackets from 3 kg to 90 kg.

Of course, the campfire site should not be missing in the back garden ... :-)
(Please, depending on the weather, if necessary, observe municipal fire ban!)
