Esperöd Farm

The house was built in 1864 and is part of a small farm property, situated on the bank of Göta Älv, one of Sweden's largest rivers. The surrounding countryside is farmland and forest with lots of lakes. We keep bees, sell honey and grow veggies and berries. Our long term vision is to have animals and to convert the paddocks into flowering meadows. We love meeting people from all over the world and are happy to share some local gems with you! The house has been in the family since the 1890s and we strive to preserve the cultural heritage by keeping the authentic design and materials where possible. Renovations are carried out in an old-fashioned style. You'll have the entire upper floor to yourself, fully self-contained. There's a separate entrance. You'll be able to go wherever you like outside - the garden, the river, the fields. Feel free to explore our forest as well! We live on the ground floor with our two kids (3 and 1 yrs old) and will be available regularly to help with any questions. We love the outdoors and can share a few local gems with you! Looking forward to meeting you! Our farm is located in Lilla Edet - a small municipality in the countryside full of nature reserves, lakes and hiking trails - great for camping, swimming, berry picking and fishing, including some of the best salmon fishing in the country! The village centre has a small super market where you can get the essentials, but the nearest town - Trollhättan (20kms north) has everything you need. The bus stops just 400 metres from our house, and there's a train station in the outskirts of the village. The train to Gothenburg - Sweden's second largest city, takes less than half an hour. Furthermore we are only a 20 minute drive from the West Coast with its never-ending list of activities! Gothenburg can be reached by bus and train, but the best way to get around the countryside here is with a car. Please note that the staircase is a little steep.
