Property Description
Along the waters of Lake Björsjön lies the former curate's residence of Egnared, dating back to 1850. Framed by forest-clad hills, this idyllic setting rests within a narrow valley where the landscape shifts between open grazing meadows, river valleys and dense forests rich in mushrooms and wildlife.
In front of the yellow vicarage, accented by red window frames, a stately circular driveway creates an elegant arrival, while beautiful double doors welcome you into the residence. Inside, the home's history has been carefully preserved in traditional tiled stoves, panelled doors with forged iron fittings and original chamber locks, as well as wide timber floorboards. The main salon enjoys beautiful natural light from several directions, and the kitchen is equally characterised by its sense of space and brightness. Every renovation has been carried out with great respect for the house's original character.
From the veranda, a gravel pathway lined with round-headed rowan trees and low hedges of flowering currant leads out into the garden. Designed in a style true to the period, the grounds are adorned with blooming perennial borders, a lilac arbour and fruit trees. Traditional stone walls frame a kitchen garden with a greenhouse to the east, while a wildflower meadow unfolds beyond the wall in the opposite direction. Adjacent to the kitchen garden lies a tranquil grove with a small pond and stone-lined brook. The property also includes an outbuilding with a woodworking shed, garage and carport, as well as a woodshed.
The views towards the lake are striking. The water lies just beside the property, and boating rights are included through an easement providing access to a private mooring. A short walk to the south also leads to a beautiful small sandy beach, ideal for swimming. The surrounding countryside offers abundant outdoor recreation, with woodland trails, mushroom-rich forests and picturesque grazing meadows dotted with large oak trees and grazing sheep and cattle.
