This villa is built with the traditional A-frame architectural design, which reflects the shape of a mountain itself and beautifully fits into its surroundings.
Price on request
Our villa in Edsåsdalen, as seen in the TV show Grand Design Sverige, is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A villa whose design is so thought through that staying there will provide complete serenity.
The villa is an A-frame shaped house, inspired by the environment to have the shape of the surrounding mountains. The south side of the house is the side covered in floor to ceiling windows, to soak up as much of the bright sunlight, whereas the north side provides protection against the wintery weather.
The house has been designed by architect Måns Tham, and is truly a piece of art rather than just another great villa. All floors, walls and ceilings are paneled in larch wood, which in its younger years provide a truly light colour, but age to a darker brown through its years. There are no lists in the entire villa, but through its exquisite craftsmanship all corners connect seamlessly to perfection.
This is a great choice of villa for 2 to 3 families or a group of adult friends getting together for a ski trip, or a summer trip filled with nature activities in the surrounding mountains.

Location
The house has a ski-in ski-out option for more advanced skiers to the nearby slopes of Edsåsdalen. The villa is surrounded by many untouched wilderness areas, great for hikes and bike tours in summer, and cross country skiing in winter. There are plenty of outdoor activities that can be arranged in this amazing natural area. A visit to the Ristafallet waterfalls or the tallest waterfall in Sweden: Tännforsen would be our recommendation for example!
We have partnered up with Åre Nature Adventures to provide you with fantastic guided activities by experienced tour guides. From a 3-hour hike with a gastronomical experience to a Moose safari in summer, to dog sledding tours, snow mobile adventures, and chasing the Northern Lights with an local experienced guide in winter. You can read more about all of their experiences and offerings on www.adventureare.com. Of course we can assist with making any bookings for you.
The centre of Åre and its surrounding ski slopes is a just short 20 minute drive away. From Åre Östersund Airport it is around an hour drive to the villa. In the towns of Åre and Undersåker you also find many craft shops where workshops can be booked or their creations simply admired. For example the glas blowing shop Åre Glashytta located in the station house, and Åre’s Ljusfabrik specializing in handmade candlesticks.
