Småland farmstead with private beach, Vimmerby

About this house

At the end of a quiet road, surrounded by a beautiful rolling landscape, this historic estate lies right next to the lake. Here, the park-like garden slopes down toward the water and the private beach, with old trees, gravel paths, and stone settings that give the place a mature and timeless character.

The property consists of two separate residential buildings dating from 1880 and 1929, respectively, with a total of five bedrooms. The main house features a classic floor plan with bright living areas, painted hardwood floors, and a spacious country kitchen with a separate dining area and a preserved cast-iron stove. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, a family room, and a balcony overlooking the lake. There's also a bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower, as well as a separate half-bath on the entry level.

The adjacent annex is a separate, fully self-contained unit with three bedrooms, a kitchen with a dining area, and its own bathroom. Together, the two houses provide plenty of space for, say, two families or multiple generations travelling together—close to one another, yet with the option of having their own living quarters.

Outside the houses, the garden stretches out toward the lake. Old and newly planted trees, gravel paths, and stone settings create the feeling of a well-maintained park-like landscape, with plenty of space for leisurely breakfasts, outdoor dinners, and peaceful days by the water. In the evening, the view of the lake and the sunsets become a natural part of your stay.

The property sits next to the historic Wennebjörke Farm and is surrounded by forest, open fields and water. Despite its secluded location, it's just a short drive to Vimmerby, making it easy to combine the tranquillity of the countryside with excursions and activities in the surrounding area.
