Red 164 m² house in the Vindelälven valley, 5,465 m²

About this house

Byavägen 19 is a detached 1.5-storey house from 1981 on the edge of Vormsele, a small village in the Vindelälven river valley in Lycksele municipality, inland Västerbotten. The house has red vertical wood cladding and stands on a 5,465 m² plot with lawns and forest close by. It is not a waterfront plot; the Vindelälven runs through the valley a short distance away and is good for fishing and outdoor life.

There are 164 m² of living space and 7 rooms, with 4 bedrooms (up to 5). The ground floor has an open living, dining and kitchen area, two bedrooms and a bathroom; upstairs there is a living room under a wood-panelled ceiling, bedrooms and a WC with bathtub. A partly glazed deck sits at the back. The broker describes the house as very well kept and in very fine condition.

Practical points: the metal roof is about two years old, heating is by a ground-source heat pump about five years old, energy class C, municipal water and sewer, and fibre broadband. The windows are original from 1981 but in good condition, and the wiring has not been replaced. Large garages, mostly heated, give room for vehicles or a workshop. Rusksele is about 15 km away and Lycksele about 50–60 km. Running costs are listed at 2,916 SEK per month.

Buying in Sweden: the asking price is 1,195,000 SEK and the seller may accept or reject any bid. Buyers pay stamp duty of 1.5% on the title deed, plus mortgage deed costs if new ones are needed. There are no restrictions on foreigners buying, but Swedish banks usually require a Swedish personal number and income, so check financing early.
