Well,it is 15 miles from the city and airport so I suppose that has affected the price. I too thought it was expensive. My farm, with 40 hektare of forest cost 100,000 but it is more isolated. Because we have two months where the sun does not set, most vegetables and barley can be grown. They are now also experimenting with wheat. The county is about 90% ecological - never has bee anything else. Winters are lon but the climate is dry so it does not feel so cold. Most important for me is that I do not suffer from rheumatism living here. Most of my neighbours are in their late 70's to 90's so we badly need a new generation. A lot of newcomers are from the Netherlands and Germany.
