Stackmoravägen 59, Orsa

Welcome to one of Stackmora's most storied gathering places, a place where generations have met, celebrated life's great moments and created memories for a lifetime. Situated high up, this characterful property was originally a primary school for Västra Stackmora. For a long time it has been a natural meeting place in the local community, where weddings have been celebrated, holidays observed and guests welcomed through the doors for decades. The history lives in the walls and creates an atmosphere that is hard to recreate. For many years an inn and Stackmorahöjdens pensionat were run here, and even today the feeling of warmth, hospitality and community lives on. The property comprises approximately 327 sqm spread over three floors and offers a rare combination of charm, history and development potential. The generous spaces and flexible layout open up a multitude of uses, from a spacious family home to a business or a project where your own visions can take shape. Already in the entrance you are met by an inviting atmosphere. From here the house leads on to social spaces that over the years have been filled with laughter, conversation and togetherness. One of the gathering rooms has a delightful open fireplace with an insert stove, all to raise the cosiness factor even further. Further on we find a well-equipped and spacious kitchen. Adjacent to the kitchen is another room, currently used as an office but just as easily furnished as a bedroom. The generous dining room adjoining the kitchen is a clear legacy of the property's history as a meeting place and offers plenty of room for larger gatherings. Here are all the conditions for creating memorable moments, whether for family celebrations, festivities or a business focused on guests. On the upper floor await seven bedrooms, each with its own character and charm. Here period details are combined with practical solutions, and from the balcony the view over the mountains to the north unfolds. The floor also has bathrooms and toilets that contribute to high comfort for both family and guests. The basement offers a further four bedrooms as well as generous utility spaces with a boiler room, laundry room, storage and other practical functions. There is also a fully tiled bathroom with shower and a much-appreciated sauna. Outdoors awaits a pleasant outdoor seating area reached directly from the large dining room. Here it is easy to imagine long summer evenings with family and friends gathered. This is more than a property – it is a place with soul, history and future potential. A place that has left its mark on the community and now awaits its next owner to carry the story forward. Perhaps it will become a generous home for a large family, perhaps a business or a new meeting place. The possibilities are many for those who see the value in something beyond the ordinary. – Renovations: Ongoing renovations and improvements have been carried out between 2008–2025. 2025: New soil pipe to the WC on the upper floor. 2024: Installation of a Jötul stove in the open fireplace. 2021: New tiled roof.

The building was erected as an infant school and served as a teaching facility for Västra Stackmora between 1902 and 1940. During the years 1940–1953 it was also periodically used as a continuation school. After a fire in 1954 the building was repaired and converted into a guesthouse and inn. As early as the following year, 1955, the first winter sports guests were welcomed – the start of a long and appreciated business in the hospitality industry. Over the decades, Stackmorahöjdens Värdshus has been run by several dedicated owners and tenants. The guesthouse was operated in the early 1980s, after which several operators followed who further developed the tourist inn. In the autumn of 1994, the guesthouse operation resumed with room rentals and catering after a period of hiatus. From school building to guesthouse, inn and tourist establishment, Stackmorahöjdens Värdshus has for generations been a natural meeting place for both locals and visitors. The property is an important part of Stackmora's cultural history and still carries the charm and character shaped by its unique history. Viewings by appointment.
