Villa Balsvik

The main building

Show all photos

A villa from 1907 by Lake Råbelövssjön, where British country style meets Swedish modernism. A fenced park of two hectares runs down to a private jetty.

The house has been in our family for four generations and is furnished with antiques, art and a large country kitchen. We hope you will feel at home.

The house, room by room

Hall
The entrance binds the house's social rooms together: a roomy cloakroom, a guest toilet and the stairs to the bedrooms upstairs.
Drawing room
Generous sofas and armchairs, an open fireplace, a large TV, games and books, a piano, and the bar and library. Doors open onto the terrace and the view of the park and the lake.
Dining room
A table for eight to ten next to the kitchen and the terrace, with a view of the park and the lake.
Kitchen
A gas range with three ovens, two dishwashers, an ice maker in the freezer and a large island with seats. A door leads to the boot room, the dog room and the small herb garden.
Terrace and outdoor kitchen
Charcoal and gas grills, a hob, a fridge and a table for six under the parasol, in the sun from morning to evening.
Upstairs lounge
Armchairs, an open fireplace and French doors to the balcony, with a view over the lake to Balsberget.
Bedrooms
Three bedrooms with double beds, all upstairs.
Bathroom
A large bathroom next to the bedrooms, with a shower, a washing machine, a tumble dryer and fresh towels.
Jetty and lake
Below the garden, a small house with a fridge, sun loungers and a charcoal grill. Please do not dive from the jetty: the lake is shallow in places.
