Modern Villa On The Northern Shore Of Lake Vättern

Where the waters of Lake Vättern wind their way between islets and harbours in the north lies the picturesque village of Åmmeberg — a place shaped by the region’s mineral wealth and rich industrial heritage. Beyond the golf course and through the enchanting surrounding countryside, a secluded elevated idyll awaits. At the end of the road, nestled among lush greenery, stands Stenbacken — an impressive residence where the classical Carolinian architectural style has been interpreted with contemporary precision.

The villa was originally built in the mid-20th century and was the childhood home of the current owner. In 2014, an extensive renovation and extension transformed the property, combining modern exclusivity with traditional elegance. A Falu red façade with warm yellow woodwork, painted in traditional linseed oil paint, is complemented by a distinctive mansard-style roof and mullioned windows featuring hand-blown glass. The result is a 319-square-metre residence where timeless architecture and modern comfort come together in a rare and harmonious whole.

The entrance level is devoted to social living, with generous interconnected reception rooms where traditional Bergslagen fireplaces form natural gathering points. The upper floor accommodates the more private areas of the home, with up to four bedrooms where light filters through arched windows, keeping the surrounding landscape ever-present. The interiors are characterised by solid materials and exceptional craftsmanship, including wide plank flooring, limestone floors, decorative painted ceilings and magnificent double doors. The combination of old and new creates a wonderful sense of balance, with every modern convenience one could wish for. The basement is in excellent condition and offers a wine cellar, generous storage space and a bathroom.

Adjacent to the main residence is a guest house of approximately 72 square metres, built in the same meticulous style and in excellent condition. The additional building provides considerable flexibility and is ideally suited to multi-generational living, accommodating long-distance guests, a home office, studio or rental purposes for those wishing to create an additional income opportunity. The property also includes a garage building, an older barn and a woodshed. Together, these buildings create a complete and characterful estate, offering outstanding possibilities for both private enjoyment and business use.

The surroundings are every bit as captivating as the house itself. Forests, tranquillity and abundant wildlife set the tone, while the waters of Lake Vättern offer swimming and boating within easy reach. Nearby Tiveden National Park is home to some of Sweden’s most unspoilt natural landscapes. The village of Åmmeberg offers a school, preschool, local shop, marina on Lake Vättern with a boating club, and a scenic lakeside golf course. Åmmeberg is situated 9 km from Askersund, approximately 250 km southwest of Stockholm, and around 30 minutes from Örebro International Airport.

Welcome to Åmmeberg, an enchanting place of extraordinary beauty.
