Description
The sun hits the top of the mountain at Sandviken before it touches anywhere else on Blidö. By the time the rest of the island stirs, you're already on the upper terrace with a coffee, watching the light spread across the water below. That's not a small thing. That's the reason this house was built exactly here, on the highest point of the hill at Morkullevägen 12, facing south, catching every hour of daylight Sweden's long summers can offer.
The main house went up in 2020, designed by an architect who clearly understood that good design in the archipelago means working with the landscape, not against it. The roofline follows the natural rock, the multi-level terrace of roughly 250 square metres steps down the hillside in stages, each platform carved to make the most of the granite beneath it. When you're barbecuing on the lower deck as the evening light turns the inlet gold, you're not standing on a flat slab bolted to the earth — you're sitting inside the landscape itself.
Inside, the first thing you notice is the ceiling. Five metres of open space overhead, with a glulam beam running the length of the room that gives the interior a warmth no painted surface could replicate. The kitchen is genuinely well-equipped — two ovens (one with steam function), a large induction hob, built-in microwave, a dishwasher with extra capacity — the kind of setup that makes cooking for eight people on a Friday evening in July feel like a pleasure rather than a project. Underfloor heating runs through the hallway and bathroom, the air-to-air heat pump handles both warming and cooling depending on the season, and the construction itself is energy-efficient enough that the electric bedroom radiators rarely need switching on. This is a house that takes year-round comfort seriously.
Walk down through the birch trees to the water's edge and you'll find a wood-fired sauna and a new jetty built in 2024 with a boat berth and mooring buoy. Mornings down here in August have a particular quality — the water is still, the sauna is warming up, and the only sounds are birds and the soft knock of a hull against wood. Blidö's archipelago waters are clean and swimmable, and Sandviken Bay with its sandy beach is a short walk from the front door.
The second building on the plot is the older house, previously used as a holiday home during construction of the main building. It's ideal as a guest house — family visiting from Stockholm for a long weekend, friends who want their own space, grown children who need somewhere that's theirs. Multi-generational living in the archipelago has its own rhythm, and having two separate structures with their own entrances makes that work without anyone crowding each other.
Blidö itself is one of the more self-contained islands in the Stockholm Archipelago. There's an ICA grocery store for daily shopping, several restaurants, a cinema, paddle courts, adventure golf, boules, a football pitch, and an outdoor gym. In autumn, the forests surrounding Morkullevägen fill with chanterelles and lingonberries — locals mark their favourite spots like secrets. Come winter, cross-country ski trails open across the island and the bay freezes solid enough for skating, which feels about as Swedish as anything gets. The island has a permanent community, which means things actually work year-round: roads are cleared, the shop stays open, and you're not buying into a ghost town that empties after Midsommar.
Getting here from Stockholm is straightforward. The drive to Norrtälje takes roughly an hour, and from there it's a short ferry crossing to Blidö. For international buyers arriving via Arlanda, you're looking at around 90 minutes door-to-door, which puts this comfortably in range for a long weekend from anywhere in Europe.
The Swedish property market for archipelago homes has remained resilient, with island properties around Norrtälje consistently attracting demand from buyers in Stockholm and beyond. As a holiday property in Sweden, there are no restrictions on EU citizens purchasing, and the country's transparent land registry system makes the buying process relatively clean compared to many European markets. Non-EU buyers should seek local legal advice on ownership structures, but the process is well-established and manageable.
