The owner shares:
"For me, Vildmarksbyn Eden was much more than just a property—it is a place of healing, community, and inspiration. Here, I spent precious time with family and friends, enjoying the peace of nature and recharging after the stress of everyday life. Eden offers a unique opportunity to create memories, find tranquility, and draw both strength and inspiration from nature. It is a place that offers a high quality of life all year round."
Three Log Cabins:
"Älgen" (The Moose), "Tjädern" (The Capercaillie), and "Orren" (The Black Grouse) are three traditional, hand-built log cabins, each measuring approximately 12 square meters. Heated by wood-burning stoves, they can accommodate up to five people.

This large, hand-built log house serves as the natural heart and gathering place of Eden. It accommodates around 30 people. A fireplace sits in the center of the building, providing warmth and light year-round. In winter, the house offers a wonderful retreat on starry nights, while in summer, it serves as a perfect oasis.
Björka River Sauna
Down in the ravine, right by the river, lies a wood-fired sauna (approx. 10 sq. m) with room for about eight people. Hand-built from local timber, the sauna includes a small changing area. Next to it, there is a jetty with access for swimming in the river; the water comes straight from nature, offering the chance for a refreshing winter dip during the colder months.
Drömhuset (The Dream House)
A small, charming cabin located next to the woodshed. It is insulated and equipped with a stove for year-round use.
Outdoor Kitchen and Gathering Areas
A well-designed outdoor kitchen, complete with a dishwashing area, offers a magnificent view of the stream and the forest. A long table under a roof provides seating for about ten people, turning even simple daily chores into a nature experience. Several fireplaces are available in the area for cooking.

For those seeking something genuine, authentic, and natural, Eden is more than just a property—it is a place to truly live. It is a unique opportunity to steward a piece of the Swedish wilderness, where simplicity, tranquility, and community take center stage.
An Established Concept with Growth Potential
Vildmarksbyn Eden has been in operation since 1997, serving both as a holiday rental business focused on nature experiences, relaxation, and simple living close to nature, and as a venue for courses, retreats, and events.
The concept centers on guests experiencing a genuine wilderness setting—free from electricity and modern distractions—where silence, community, and nature take center stage.
The business offers opportunities for development through curated experience packages, organized either in-house or in collaboration with local entrepreneurs. Examples of activities include guided fishing, moose safaris, wildlife tours, kayaking, log rafting, hiking, guided nature walks, wilderness excursions, sauna experiences, team building, and various types of retreat activities.
Accommodation in handcrafted cabins and the unique setting make Eden particularly appealing to guests seeking authentic nature experiences, off-grid living, ecotourism, and relaxation in the Swedish wilderness.
A new owner inherits a ready-made concept with significant potential to further develop the business according to their own vision and interests.
Eden is a place that fosters stress reduction. Research shows that spending time in nature can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve recovery, and boost mental well-being.
Vildmarksbyn Eden provides a unique environment for this kind of restoration. It creates the perfect natural setting for silence, mindfulness, and relaxation, far removed from the demands of everyday life.
Here, the healing power of nature can work its magic, creating space for tranquility, reflection, and renewed energy.

Position
Nestled in the heart of the Värmland wilderness—in Gröna Dalen, about 10 kilometers east of Lysvik in the municipality of Sunne—lies Vildmarksbyn Eden. It is an authentic, handcrafted retreat created to foster tranquility, a sense of community, and a connection with nature. Surrounded by pine heaths, ravines, wetlands, fishing lakes, bogs, and the beautiful Björka River, Eden offers a rare sense of freedom, privacy, and quality of life. The Wilderness Village of Eden was built in 1997 by local enthusiast Lennarth Swahn through his company, Naturkraft. Each building was constructed by hand using timber from the surrounding forests, with deep respect for the site's natural landscape. Since then, Eden has remained a hidden gem where people gather to experience nature, manage stress, engage in team-building, and simply unwind. Despite its secluded setting, Vildmarksbyn Eden is close to several popular attractions and amenities; the nearest grocery store is in Lysvik, approximately 10 km away.
The charming village of Ransbysätter offers a vibrant, traditional rural atmosphere, featuring a beautiful mill that remains operational.
The immediate area provides excellent opportunities for hiking, cycling, fishing, canoeing, swimming, berry and mushroom picking, and enjoying nature throughout the year. Whether seeking adventure, peace and quiet, or an authentic taste of the Värmland countryside, the area has something for everyone.
