luxury property for sale Västra Götaland County, Sweden

Two cottages with sleeping lofts and beautiful lake views, located in a nature reserve with the forest as your closest neighbor. Bendalen carries a fascinating history that dates back over 100 years, to the 1920s when the two cottages were built by two brothers. Perched high above an enchanting bay with magnificent views over Lake Yxsjön, this property offers a unique and carefully preserved environment. The cottages have only had three owners since they were built. The current owner has carried out a gentle renovation to preserve the property's period-typical National Romantic charm and craftsmanship, while adding some modern comforts. Car and boat parking available. Each cottage has a living area of 33 sqm, a sleeping loft, and a small basement. The waterfront property is situated high and sheltered in a bay on Lake Yxsjön, right in the middle of a nature reserve. It offers a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere with lush nature, rich wildlife, and the possibility to enjoy your own beach, swimming, fishing, paddling, and hiking. From several stone-paved patios, you have fantastic views over the lake, making the property ideal for relaxation and social gatherings in a close-to-nature setting. The plot is beautifully terraced with stone walls and walkways that add character and create natural separations between different areas. Large park rhododendrons, laburnum, lilacs, and many perennials make it a treasure for gardening enthusiasts. From the dock at the lake, you reach the cottages via a winding stone staircase, illuminated by beautiful traditional Djurgården lanterns that cast a lovely glow in the evenings. A babbling brook runs along the property!
