Sunset House, undisturbed in the Stockholm Archipelago

Now there is the opportunity to stay in a house with striking sunsets, in the middle of nature and an undisturbed location, while making a minimal impact in the climate. Welcome to book our house at a favorable “try-on” price. Our house in the Stockholm archipelago has a unique location, is completely self sufficient on electricity through solar cells, and not connected to the grid. The house is “off-grid” and there are only a few amenities left. The Stockholm Archipelago Trail (SAT) hiking trail passes close by the house.The spaceYou live on an upper floor without thresholds with outstanding views through large windows that go down to the floor. Large balcony that stretches on three sides of the house. At each end of the house, there are 2 roofed balconies with protection from sun or rain. Next to the balcony is a natural pond in the rock with water lilies and small fish called rudors. The location is completely secluded and therefore curtains are not needed as protection for privacy, nature is part of the accommodation. You wake up to the sun in the east, and fall asleep with the sun in the west. The bedrooms have large windows in two weather decks and are the only rooms with curtains (note, view into the upper bathroom from your own balcony). On the lower floor, there is another bedroom and a guest toilet with shower. There is also a washing machine and freezer that can be used by agreement with us. In a separate space on the lower floor is the boiler room with a wood stove for the waterborne floor heating and the batteries that store the electricity from the solar panels. The nature around the house is forest so boots or sturdy shoes are good for walks. There’s a neighbor a little bit away, but you can hardly see their house. Sea eagles, moose, foxes and deer, however, you have a great chance to see from the house, especially at dusk. With binoculars, you can sometimes see seals on a rock out in the water. Often you can hear them singing on a quiet evening.Guest access125 m2 living area, divided on two floors , 15 m2 bathroom, 2pcs 15m2 bedrooms and the rest are kitchen living and dining area. Through a staircase indoors you get to the lower floor where there is a guest room, with a 140 cm wide bed. Guest toilet The stairs down to the lower floor have a child safety gate on the upper floor. Downstairs, there is a boiler room and technical spaces for batteries. There’s also a washing machine that can be booked by agreement with the host as well as a freezer. In addition to the house, there is the possibility of the warm season accepting extra guests in a house on wheels, a “tinyhouse” that is close to the house. It is fully equipped with toilet, shower fridge and stove., table and chairs, as well as a loft. This will only be used by those who booked, so you don’t have to share the place with others. It is possible to go by public transport all year round by bus, boat during spring, summer and fall. From the bus stop it is 800 meters to walk, and from the boat dock about 2 kilometers. For cars and caravans there are good parking facilities. Cars can be driven all the way up to the deck for those with limited mobility. The forest around the house is pristine primeval forest and here no machinery harvested and no forest planting is made. There is plenty of mushrooms and berries and fishing with fishing rods is free. Below the house there are several seating areas that you can reach through winding paths. Some with an elevated location, one directly on the rocks by the beach. .Other things to noteThe house is a so-called “off-grid” house, which means it is not connected to the regular electricity grid. As a guest, you will not notice any difference, except for the knowledge that you are making minimal environmental impact when you choose this accommodation. The house has several solar cells and a small wind turbine as well as great opportunity to store electricity batteries. The electricity in the house is the same as in “normal” houses, so just use the outlets. Fridge, dishwasher, microwave, etc. work as usual. The stove runs on gas (the oven runs on electricity) and there is also a wood stove for comfort and extra heat if needed. During the dark season, you can charge the batteries from one of our electric cars, or via an electric generator. Lighting can be controlled with regular buttons, or via a screen to the right of the refrigerator. Most of the interior and furniture are recycled from the local area to protect the environment. The walls inside are painted with lime paint, where we mixed water with ordinary lime that has been left over in the manufacturing industry. The boards inside are sawn from trees that have fallen in the forest around here, or that we needed to cut down to get to the house.There is a neighbor a bit away, and you can glimpse their house between the trees.In the living room, there is a TV screen but no TV channels. There is a Chromecast, but no technical support for technical problems
