Ottarvägen 38 - Färingsö, Skå
Nestled among the apple orchards on Färingsö, about 30 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Stockholm, we find this incomparably beautiful home, which has undergone a complete renovation in recent years to bring it to its current exquisite condition. With its beautiful symmetry and distinctive turrets and towers, Ottargården stands majestically, overlooking the bay. Preserved original features include two working tiled stoves and a fireplace in the dining room, as well as generous, open-plan living areas.
Living area of 395 square meters distributed across the ground floor, featuring large living spaces with a spacious living room and kitchen, a roomy dining area, and access to the garden. The upper level features a family room and a balcony with lake views, as well as several bedrooms—two of which have en-suite bathrooms—a newly built library, and ample storage. A finished attic with two bedrooms.
All in all, a very pleasant and welcoming home for a large family, currently offering the potential for seven bedrooms. Close to a private beach and boat slip below the property. Large, subdivisible lot. Welcome to Färingsö.
Through beautiful double doors, the entryway opens up to ample coat space and charming glass-paned interior doors leading into the inner hallway. The eye is immediately drawn to the living room’s large windows directly ahead of the entryway, featuring generous spaces and a beautiful tiled stove. The living room opens onto both the study and the dining room, offering lovely natural light and a sense of spaciousness. A cozy corner room currently serves as a study, featuring a built-in bookshelf and access to a large bathroom. On the other side of the living room is the dining room, which seats ten people and connects to the kitchen. From the dining room, you can enjoy views of the water and the lovely apple orchard below.
The idyllic, country-style kitchen features ample counter space and plenty of storage, both in cabinets and the pantry. The cozy and inviting bench, with views of the kitchen, dining room, and out into the garden, is the perfect spot for family and friends. It opens onto a pleasant patio and a lush lawn with a playhouse and a gazebo.
On the lower level, in addition to the spacious common areas, there is also a bathroom, a laundry room, and a guest restroom.
A beautiful, solid-wood staircase with paneled walls leads us to the upper level and the private wing, which features four large bedrooms, all with ample storage and space for both a large bed and other furniture. There is also a nice bathroom with a shower.
In addition to the entryway and the upper floor, there is an attic with two bedrooms that has been completely renovated. The basement is accessed via a staircase inside the house and is primarily used for storage and as a utility room.
The pleasant garden lot, with plenty of fruit trees and shrubs, slopes gently toward the water and features several shaded seating areas and open spaces for ball games and play. Below the property is a swimming area and a boat dock with the possibility of a boat slip.
Transportation is convenient, with a bus stop just 150 meters from the house.
The drinking water quality was good at the time of the most recent test, and fiber-optic cable has been installed.
Färingsö, orSvartsjölandet, is an islandin Lake Mälaren. It is located inthe municipality of Ekerö,west of Stockholm, and is part of Uppland. The island is surrounded by Långtarmento the west and Lövstafjärden, Lambarfjärden,and Mörbyfjärdento the east. With an area of 82 km², it is Sweden’s second-largest inland lake island after Selaön.
The present-day island of Färingsö became the site of royal estates early on. The most famous site is Svartsjö, home to today’s Svartsjö Castle, a Rococo building from the 18th century. As early as the mid-14th century, Svartsjö became a royal castle. When Gustav Vasa had the stone castle built, Svartsjö became a significant part of his kingdom. At the end of the 17th century, the castle burned down and was later replaced by the current 18th-century pleasure and hunting castle for Queen Ulrika Eleonora, based on designs by Carl Hårleman. During the 19th century, the castle fell into disrepair and, shortly before the turn of the 20th century, was converted into a prison. It was not until the 1960s that this operation was discontinued. Today, Svartsjö Castle has been restored. Due to the strong royal presence on Färingsö, no major manor houses were ever built there. Instead, it was the many small farmhouses that gave Färingsö its character.
