Don’t worry about the Bears in the forest. The Wolves, lynx, and wolverines scare them off. 😅

Im 58. My mom is 85. We are out in the forrest almost every weekend. Always looking for trolls. 😀 You should look up John Bauer's pictures. He was born in 1882 and painted all trolls and such in the Swedish forrests. 😉

Hi 👋 Congrats on your new adventure. Looking forward to following. One suggestion: when you do panning video footage it would be great if you could slow the movement down a bit - we all want to have a good look 😊 & if you move too fast I get dizzy

"Too" remote often has the disadvantage that you would be the one having to care (or pay somebody with a tractor - if there is somebody having a tractor nearby...) for plowing when going/living there during winter - if the "roads" are just "forest-roads". Another problem with "small non-public roads" is that you would have to pay from time to time in order for keeping the "road" in shape. So the question is: How many meters of distance are actually necessary in order to prevent noise/views from/to the next "public road". I would tend to say that from about 200-300 meters it would be ok. This means that you could park your car close to the road in winter - and it would still not be a problem to carry your stuff some hundreds of meters to the cabin. Another problem is: On the one hand its very nice to have the possibility to reach your cabin by car. So no problem to get machines/materials there. On the other hand such a way is some kind of "invitation" to thieves - especially if the cabin is far away from the next house/farm. To set up a "vägbom" is not of help - because a closed "vägbom" to thieves is very little hinder but an obvious invitation.

I lived in Sweden many years. I think one of the reasons these houses are so cheap is because many are Summer houses which are not meant for year round living. Lovely in the Summer, less so in the harsh conditions of Winter and it takes a lot of work to Winterise them. But I wish you well. Not all houses in Germany are expensive, you can get cheap ones in the East where my partner is from, including some one euro houses, have seen them. Why so many Germans want houses in Sweden instead of buying in Saxony or Thuringia I don't understand because it's just as beautiful if not more so...but so it is.

Definitely going to be a lot of work if you're not used to living far away of any services for long durations of time. Especially in winter it can get pretty missereable especially if you purchase a cabin that was innitially designed and built as a summer cabin. This coming from neighbouring country of Finland. Language barrier might also be a big obstagle.

I started learning Swedish :) Swedish folk (even a lot of elderly people) speak English fluently. I was cut off in Australia, too. I think you have a point when you talk about winter/summer cabins

Love what you are doing. Will you make this a full time home, or just a vacation home? The house prices seem to be very reasonable. Isn’t Sweden a very cold place in the winter?

And I absolutely love to see the comment! My idea was to buy a home, renovate and convert it and then use it, have friends and family use it and whenever I wasn´t using it (or not moving to sweden in the future) rent it out :) That´s the best thing about Scandinavia. You still get super cold white winters, miraculous springs and hot summers.

Not a cabin (one open room), but a cottage (separat room/rooms and kitchen).

Here sitts a young guy and have a demand list as long as a lawbook. and is not interested to move here to live NO to buy a property and rebuild it for rent OUT. i havent nothing about strangers hwo move to sweden because of job and they are inlove with our beautiful country. what i dont like that a stranger buy up propertys to build up a buissness!! and still live in Germany. shame of you shame shame. this is only bad. how many small places will you buy upp? 5 or 10 maybee. You dont even know what you buy or say , For ex. you say you put the wood in the stow and you use show baking oven!? May bee i miss understand it all and apologize, but i dont think so when i listen , you would like to lay a bid on the woods too!!
