Sjöhåla strandväg 51

Large architect-designed coastal home with high energy efficiency and a generous basement level Welcome to an architect-designed quality home, where timeless design, generous natural light and a lifestyle close to the sea combine in perfect harmony. The house is thoughtfully positioned on a green and private plot with views of the sea. A rare combination of seclusion, proximity to nature and high living comfort. A home for those seeking the very best of Bohuslän's coastal life. Description Something special happens when you leave the larger roads behind and follow the coastline out towards Sjöhåla. The pace slows down. The air becomes clearer, the sea draws closer and the horizon opens up. Here, along Bohuslän's rugged and magnificent coast, where the granite rocks have been smoothed by wind and waves over generations, awaits a place that makes many stop and drift away in dreams. Already as you turn into the green plot, a feeling of seclusion and harmony settles in. The fruit trees blossom in spring, the berry bushes bend under the warm summer months, and the Bohuslän granite recalls the landscape's timeless character. The house sits beautifully above the calm bay. The architecture blends naturally into its surroundings, letting the sea, sky and light play the leading roles. Imagine waking early on a summer morning. The sun's first rays find their way in through the windows while the sea glitters outside. The coffee cup comes out onto the terrace, where the day begins in stillness, with views over the ever-changing coastal landscape. The wind moves through the trees and the gulls sail over the bay. Stepping into the house, you are met by generous spaces, natural light and a warm Scandinavian feel. Light woods, oak floors and carefully chosen materials create an atmosphere that feels both cosy and elegant. There is plenty of room to gather family and friends around long dinners, while the house also offers quiet corners for rest and moments of your own. At the heart of the home stands the solid chimney with its wood-burning stove. During autumn's rough days and winter's stormy evenings it becomes a natural gathering point, where the glow of the flames creates warmth and atmosphere. While the wind sweeps in over the bay, you can settle indoors and let your gaze rest on the view. Summer offers a completely different life. The terraces become the house's natural living room, where breakfast in the morning sun gives way to lazy afternoons and long barbecue evenings as the day's last light lingers over the horizon. The children run barefoot between the lawn and the rocks, and an evening dip in the salty sea becomes as natural as the morning coffee on the veranda outside the kitchen. There are also plenty of opportunities for excursions. Take the boat to Marstrand for lunch by the harbour, or continue to Dyrön for a day on the water. For those who prefer to stay close to home, Lycke Golfklubb is just a short walk over the hill, offering both a restaurant and a well-regarded golf course. The house was built in 2009 and is at least as relevant today as it was then. The architecture has an effortless timelessness, where quality, function and aesthetics interact without taking over. It is a home that does not follow trends, but stands firmly anchored in the place and the surrounding landscape. Behind the light architecture stands a house built to last. Extra-thick walls with heavy insulation, ground-source heating with underfloor heating and mechanical extract ventilation with heat recovery provide an even, draught-free indoor climate all year round, and running costs that few houses of this size can match. The energy class is B, with an energy consumption of 24 kWh per square metre per year, and the house's total electricity consumption is around 9 900 kWh per year. For 166 sqm of living area plus 95 sqm of auxiliary area, that is remarkably low.The heating is complemented by two fireplaces. The solid chimney with its wood-burning stove is the house's natural gathering point during the winter months, and in the kitchen stands a classic wood stove that both heats and cooks. Together they provide security during power outages and the opportunity to further reduce heating costs during cold weeks. The basement level of 95 sqm is the house's hidden asset. Here you will find a fully fitted workshop with a pillar drill, grinding bench and well-thought-out storage for tools and materials. Next to the workshop is another room, currently used as a ceramics studio and rehearsal space, with plenty of room for what does not fit into everyday life: music, crafts, a home gym or an office. There is also a proper food cellar with a cool, even temperature for wine, root vegetables and the harvest from the garden. For those who work with their hands, or simply want a place where projects can stay out, this is a house that is already prepared. The plot also features a spacious garden shed offering valuable extra storage for, for example, garden tools, leisure equipment and other things that belong to life. In Kovikshamn and Sjöhåla, life is lived close to nature, the sea and the things that really matter. Here, everyday life is not about fitting in more, but about getting more of what brings quality of life. Morning swims from sun-warmed rocks, the togetherness around the dinner table, the shifting light of the archipelago and the feeling of coming home after a hectic working day. This is more than a house by the sea. It is a home where memories are made, the seasons are experienced to the full and life is allowed to take the time it needs. A place to long for – and perhaps never want to leave. Welcome to Villa Sjöbacken.
