Enjoy farmlife on Sweden’s East Coast
Häradssätter Gård is located right where the forests of Småland meet Östergötland – nestled in a landscape of magnificent oak hills and a peaceful, secluded lake. This is a place to breathe and simply be.
Whether you are joining us for a family holiday filled with adventure, or seeking the quiet inspiration of nature to find peace and focus, our farm offers an experience that stays with you long after you leave.
The lake is just a short walk from the cottages, offering wonderful opportunities for swimming, boating, or paddling. The shoreline by our private pier is shallow and child-friendly, while the floating dock further out invites you to dive into the deep blue. If you get hungry, there is a barbecue area with seating and pre-stacked firewood waiting for you.
At the farm, you’ll truly live close to nature and our animals. Our horses often come right up to the fence beside the cottage to say hello, and curious peacocks may wander past your door in the early morning. You’re welcome to relax with our friendly goats in the meadow for as long as you like, and if you happen to lose your way to the lake, our dogs Ellie and Bonnie will be more than happy to lead you there.
Enjoy your morning coffee to the soft sound of hooves, row out onto the lake at sunset, and experience complete seclusion. When the horses have left the pasture for the season, deer quietly emerge at the edge of the forest. Here, stillness is more than a word — it’s an experience.
Here, you’ll find true peace and quiet for work. During the low season, our cottages offer the perfect setting for focused productivity. With fast, reliable Wi-Fi and nature’s calm just outside your window, it’s easy to settle into deep concentration. We can arrange everything you need to create a complete and comfortable workspace.
As our guest, you have access to our boats for fishing in our lake, home to perch, pike, and zander. If you’re looking to take your fishing to the next level, you can rent our motorboat on the nearby large lake Yxningen, well known for excellent fishing, including Arctic char and salmon. For the more adventurous, the Baltic Sea archipelago is just ten minutes away.
Häradssätter has many faces. The farm changes with the seasons. The farm is just as beautiful in winter as it is in summer, and autumn brings its own quiet character. Whether you visit for Christmas, New Year, the school holidays, Easter or Midsummer, you’re welcome to stay with us at any time of year.
Häradssätter offers accommodation year-round, whether you’re staying for a few nights or several months. Our cottages are fully equipped for self-catering, with complete kitchens, TV, comfortable beds, and a terrace with a barbecue area. Choose between our two modern cottages with six beds, set in a secluded location overlooking the pastures, or our charming 18th-century cottage with four beds, ideal for those who prefer to stay closer to the heart of the farm. Please note: During July and August, cottages are rented on a weekly basis only, with Saturday changeover.
Our two modern cottages are spacious, bright, and fully equipped with all essential comforts. The ground floor features a kitchen, living area, and terrace, while the upper floor offers three bedrooms.
The 18th-century cottage is located at the heart of the farm, yet offers a private and undisturbed setting. It is ideal for a solo traveller, a couple, or a small family. Everything you need is thoughtfully arranged within a compact space.
Häradssätter’s history dates back to the 18th century, but our own journey here began in the summer of 2017, when we first visited the farm. We fell in love with the place, left city life behind, and today we can hardly believe how fortunate we are to care for what previous generations have built over centuries.
Our ambition is to run a small-scale farm with a focus on self-sufficiency. Here, you’ll find everything we value: livestock, cultivation, hunting, fishing, and life close to nature.
The farm is home year-round to the two of us, along with chickens, peacocks, cats, dogs, goats, and countless wild animals that we glimpse at the edge of the forest or trace by their tracks in the snow. In summer, the farm becomes much livelier, as horses—and sometimes cattle—arrive to graze and help keep the landscape open.
