Villa for sale on Österlenvägen 718 in Löderup

In the sought-after Österlen area lies this Scanian lengthhouse (skånelänga) from 1840, an unusually well-preserved property with a clear identity, charm, a strong sense of materials and an attractive location along Österlenvägen. Here, cultural-historical value is combined with function and potential, both as a permanent residence and a lifestyle home, with the possibility of a small business thanks to the location. The property was built in 1840 as a classic Scanian lengthhouse with an adjoining cowshed and barn. Much of the original details from both the stable and the barn have been preserved and give the house a rare authenticity. The house bears traces of its history through a baking oven, brick details in window frames and an overall robust materiality. The façade is of hand-laid brick with clear craftsmanship details. Inside, you are met by visible beams, brick floors as well as lime-plastered and whitewashed walls. The wood-burning stove is original and, together with the working tiled stove (kakelugn), forms the natural heart of the home. Original doors, wrought-iron details and stable windows reinforce the feeling of a genuine farmhouse with history – details that not only create character and warmth, but also tell of the house's long life and cultural-historical context. Unlike many renovated older houses, this lengthhouse has been restored with genuine respect for the building's soul. During the 1980s, the property underwent an extensive and careful renovation by Malmö's former city architect Gabriel Winge, carried out according to clear building conservation principles in which materials, proportions and details were allowed to guide the whole. A specially designed wardrobe and joinery have been integrated to harmonise with the house's original design language, while function and living quality have been adapted for modern permanent living. Linseed oil paints, natural materials and carefully selected details, including from Byggfabriken, have been used to preserve the feel. The garden is framed by old boxwood hedges, and in the middle of the yard stands a guardian tree. The garden offers several outdoor seating areas and great opportunities for cultivation. There are three apple trees, a plum tree, six gooseberry bushes, two currant bushes as well as a fig tree and a small plot for growing – a place for those who appreciate both garden life and self-sufficiency. From the terrace with evening sun, the view opens towards the open landscape and onwards towards Hammars backar – a view that enhances the feeling of Österlen's tranquillity and spaciousness. The sea can be reached in about 20 minutes by bike, as can local destinations such as the pasta factory and Örum 119 with its bakery and farm experiences. In about 20 minutes you can also reach Ystad by car, and there is a bus stop right outside the property in Tjugosjusby. The barn still bears clear traces of its origins as a cowshed and is used today for dinners, parties and social gatherings. With electricity connected and great development potential, there is potential for a studio, guesthouse, business or multi-generational living for those who wish to let the place continue to evolve. The property has a visible and accessible location along Österlenvägen, with good exposure towards the barn and opportunities for future business. The property has been a permanent residence since 2017 and previously served, among other things, as an artist's home. This is a home for those seeking something more than an ordinary dwelling – a well-preserved farmstead with soul, history and opportunities in the heart of Österlen.
