A rare opportunity to live close to nature while maintaining modern comfort and extremely low running costs.
Located in the quiet coastal region of Västerbotten in northern Sweden, this property offers a unique combination of renewable energy systems, fibre internet and direct access to forests, rivers and the Baltic Sea.
The house invites a new chapter for those seeking space, calm and long-term sustainability — whether for family life, remote work or a slower pace surrounded by nature.
The House
Built in 1954, during a period when Swedish houses were constructed with durability and solid materials in mind, the property stands on a strong concrete foundation as a split-level (souterrain) house.
The structure combines a concrete lower level with a wooden upper floor and a metal roof equipped with solar panels.
Living space: approx. 103 m²
Additional space: approx. 130 m² basement and utility areas
These additional areas can easily be used for:
• home office
• workshop or hobby rooms
• guest rooms
• storage or studio space
Modern Energy Systems
The house is equipped with several energy systems that significantly reduce living costs.
• Geothermal heating (ground source heat pump)
• Solar panels
• Battery storage system
• Electric vehicle charger
• Fibre internet connection
Historically the total running costs have been around 4,000 SEK per month including electricity, heating, internet and utilities, which is exceptionally low for a house of this size.
Plot and Outdoor Living
The property sits on a 1,190 m² plot designed to be easy to maintain.
A small lawn and several outdoor seating areas make the garden pleasant without requiring heavy upkeep.
The plot borders directly onto forest land, meaning nature literally begins at the edge of the garden.
From the house you can step straight out into the surrounding landscape for:
• hiking
• skiing
• snowmobile trails
• wildlife observation
Nature and Fishing
A short distance from the house flows the Rickleån River, one of the region’s well-known salmon and trout rivers.
Anglers travel here specifically to fish for Atlantic salmon and sea trout, and the surrounding valley offers beautiful walking paths and natural scenery.
The property is also located only about 10 km from the Baltic Sea, opening up opportunities for coastal life, boating, fishing and summer swimming.
Climate and Seasons
The coastal location gives the area a relatively mild northern climate.
Winters bring reliable snow but typically avoid the extreme cold found further inland. Summers are often pleasantly warm with long daylight hours.
This balance creates excellent conditions for both winter and summer outdoor activities.
Location
The house is located in Robertsfors, a quiet community positioned between two growing northern Swedish cities.
• 40 minutes to Umeå city centre
• 40 minutes to Umeå International Airport
• 40 minutes to Skellefteå
Both cities offer universities, culture, restaurants, hospitals and international connections.
A Place With Potential
This property offers a solid house with modern energy infrastructure and a rare balance between comfort and nature.
While the house already provides everything needed for comfortable living, it also offers room for the next owner to shape the interior spaces according to their own taste and vision over time.
For someone looking for a calm base in northern Sweden with strong infrastructure and direct access to nature, this could be a very interesting opportunity.
