Spacious 1955 villa in a secluded spot, Koppom

About this house

In Koppom, Eda municipality in western Värmland, this spacious and solid villa from 1955 sits in a scenic and secluded location. The plot is almost 7,000 m² (6,814 m²). The house spreads over two floors plus a cellar, with 127 m² of living space and another 87 m² of secondary space, and 6 rooms of which 4 are bedrooms. There is also a roomy garage with high ceilings and an inspection pit. The starting price is 700,000 SEK.

The broker presents it as a house for someone who wants to put their own stamp on it, so expect some updating. Check the heating system and insulation, and consider whether solar panels would make sense on the plot. Koppom is close to the Norwegian border, which can be practical for a second home.

Buying in Sweden: the sale is handled by a licensed estate agent rather than a notary, and offers are usually made in an open bidding process. The buyer pays stamp duty on the title (lagfart) and, with a new mortgage, a fee for mortgage deeds. Foreigners can buy freely, but Swedish banks are cautious with non-resident borrowers, so many foreign buyers arrange financing at home. A pre-purchase inspection is the buyer's own responsibility.
