Large historic estates rarely change hands. When they do, they often remain within the same family for generations. Öjervik Estate, located on the western shore of Lake Fryken in the heart of Värmland, is one of these rare estates. Over time, the estate has been owned by several distinguished families and forms part of the cultural landscape that inspired Gustaf Fröding and Selma Lagerlöf. Fröding spent part of his childhood at Öjervik, and both he and Selma Lagerlöf, two important voices in Swedish literary history, wrote about the striking beauty of Öjervik and Fryksdalen. The main manor house (750 m²) is complemented by three well-maintained residential buildings with a combined area of approximately 500 square meters. The estate comprises nearly 200 hectares and offers extensive equestrian facilities, including 15 horse boxes and approximately 70 hectares of pasture suitable for grazing or agricultural use, making Öjervik well suited for both equestrian purposes and refined country living. Öjervik also includes two kilometers of private shoreline along Lake Fryken, with excellent fishing opportunities and sweeping views across the lake and the Fryksdalen valley. The estate’s own hunting grounds include two productive hunting areas for large and small game, as well as permits to establish ponds suitable for duck hunting.

An approved urban development plan allows for the subdivision of 37 residential plots. The estate also includes approximately 110 hectares of forestry with a site productivity rating (Swedish: “bonitet”) of 10. Öjervik represents a rare combination of cultural heritage, natural beauty, recreation, and economic opportunity.
