Sommarbostad

Welcome to a limestone farm in northern Gotland, surrounded by rocky plateaus, small farms, and a dramatic coastline with high cliffs and sea stacks ("raukar"). This charming summer residence is housed in a dry-stone outbuilding, likely dating from the late 18th century. It has been used as a summer home since the 1980s and is currently undergoing gentle renovations (more photos will be added over time).

The residence features a modern kitchenette complemented by a wood stove for both heating and cooking (firewood included), a toilet (separating system), a dining nook, a shower, and a separate bedroom with two beds. Internet with 100/100 Mbps and TV are included in the rent. There are two outdoor patios: one on the east side and one on the west side, which includes a barbecue area. If the weather turns chilly, there are also electric radiators.

The property borders Gotland's largest nature reserve, Hall-Hangvar. Trails and tractor paths lead directly from the property down to the coast (2 km), offering several hiking routes. While the coastline is mostly steep, good swimming opportunities are available at Ireviken/Svarthäll, about a 45-minute walk across rocky plateaus and through areas with sea stacks. Cycling or driving will, of course, be much quicker. The limestone quarry "Pölen," which features a summer café, is also within walking or cycling distance (3 km). The village of Kappelshamn, with its renowned Kappelshamn veranda, is less than 10 km away. There, you’ll also find a beach and a sauna.

In spring, Häftings Coast is popular among anglers due to its rich stock of sea trout, among other species. There is a good chance of spotting sea eagles and golden eagles. The barren rocky plateaus and wet meadows are home to many rare plants, butterflies, and other insects. Late summer is perhaps the most beautiful season on the island (Gotland’s “fifth season”)—less crowded beaches but still warm and pleasant.

Here, you can walk along trails that have been in use since at least the Bronze Age and explore prehistoric remains such as grinding grooves. There are also remnants from later times, such as lime kilns and tar pits.

We aim not only to live close to nature but also in harmony with it as much as possible. The electricity is produced by a solar park on the farm. The summer residence is equipped with a separating toilet, but there is also access to an outhouse (connected to the house’s compost system). Additionally, there is a solar-heated shower on the west side of the property.
