An Exclusive, Modern Mountain House in Northern Sweden Lists for 1,4 Million

Set in the sought-after Hovdedalen valley, this exclusive mountain home at Vemdalsskalet is a carefully composed sanctuary where contemporary architecture blends seamlessly with its alpine surroundings. Presented by Bjurfors Beyond, the property offers an elevated interpretation of Scandinavian mountain living, defined by sobriety, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for nature.

Built in 2022 by Forsgrens, the log house is clad in classic timber paneling that evokes an elegant ski lodge atmosphere. Every material choice has been thoughtfully curated, from the dark, refined kitchen details to the natural textures that bring warmth and authenticity throughout the home.

Generous windows frame sweeping mountain views and invite daylight to flow through the open-plan living areas. The result is a home that feels both expansive and grounded, perfectly attuned to its setting.

Water-based underfloor heating on both levels ensures year-round comfort, while the solid stone fireplace anchors the social spaces and naturally draws family and friends together after days spent outdoors.

Living in Hovdedalen means immediate access to skiing, snowmobile trails, summer hiking, fishing, and hunting, all within magnificent mountain scenery. The area is known for its cohesive, high-quality architecture and premium feel.

A short walk brings you to Skalets Torg, where après-ski, acclaimed restaurants, a well-stocked ski shop, grocery store, and interior design boutiques complete the full mountain lifestyle experience.

The open connection between the kitchen, dining area, and living room creates a welcoming social core. Soft furnishings, natural wood elements, and the glow of the fireplace form an inviting environment, equally suited for quiet reading moments or lively evenings with guests.

The dining area, centered around a light wooden table in timeless Nordic style, is made for long dinners filled with laughter and stories.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully designed Ballingslöv kitchen in deep, muted tones. The large kitchen island, integrated appliances, and dedicated wine cooler make this space ideal for both ambitious home chefs and relaxed après-ski gatherings. Functionality and aesthetics coexist effortlessly, encouraging long evenings of cooking, conversation, and shared experiences.

After a day on the slopes or hiking trails, the relaxation area becomes a true haven. The sauna, crafted from heat-treated aspen, features a suspended ceiling and integrated lighting that create a serene, atmospheric setting. Step directly outside to the terrace afterward and experience the invigorating contrast of crisp mountain air or snow beneath your feet.

Upstairs, an additional living room provides a relaxed space for younger family members, perfect for games, movies, or quiet downtime. This level also houses four bedrooms and a stylish bathroom with a natural stone sink, shower/bathtub, and WC, maintaining the home’s refined aesthetic throughout.

The home offers five spacious bedrooms, all decorated in calm, harmonious tones. Three bedrooms feature comfortable double beds, while two are fitted with bunk beds with wider lower bunks, ideal for children or visiting guests.

A master bedroom on the entrance floor includes a private WC and direct access to the relaxation area, while four additional bedrooms are located upstairs, ensuring privacy and flexibility for larger groups.

A well-designed ski entrance with built-in storage simplifies daily life for the active family, offering generous space for equipment and outerwear. The laundry and utility room is equipped with a washing machine, drying cabinet, and practical work surfaces, while the geothermal heat pump supports sustainable, energy-efficient living. Two additional WCs are conveniently located on the entrance floor.
