Description

Step outside on a July morning at Örviks byväg 18 and the air carries something particular — a mix of pine resin, cut grass, and the faint salt tang drifting in from the Baltic just 1.7 kilometres away. The southwest sun is already hitting the glazed conservatory. Coffee in hand, you watch a pair of cranes pick their way across the meadow. This is Roslagen in its quietest, most honest form. Not a postcard. The real thing.

Herräng sits roughly 100 kilometres north of Stockholm along the Uppland coast, tucked into the northern reaches of the Roslagen archipelago — a region Swedes have been quietly keeping to themselves for generations. This particular property sits about 4 kilometres south of Herräng village proper, on a lane where the neighbours are mostly birch trees and the occasional tractor. The address, Örviks byväg 18, places you on the edge of the Örvikssjön lake, roughly 350 metres from the water's edge. On still evenings you can hear the lake. On windy ones, you can hear the sea.

The main house is a 1.5-storey building measuring 130 square metres, in good condition and ready to move into without a renovation project hanging over your first summer. Ground floor has a proper layout for a family: a hallway that opens naturally into a generous living room, a kitchen that works, a bedroom, and a laundry room with WC. Upstairs, two more bedrooms and a bathroom share the space with a family room and, critically, a balcony with partial views over Örvikssjön. That balcony matters more than it sounds on paper — sitting up there as the light shifts over the water at 9pm in June, with the sky still pale gold, is one of those Swedish summer moments that makes people buy property in this country and never fully leave.

The glazed conservatory on the southwest-facing entrance side is genuinely useful — not just decorative. It extends the season in both directions, giving you a warm, light-filled room from March through October without the Swedish chill making it miserable. On the gable side of the house, a wooden deck hosts an outdoor spa. After a day of paddling kayaks on Örvikssjön or hiking the coastal paths between Herräng and Grisslehamn, that spa earns its place.

What sets this estate apart from the typical Swedish sommarstuга is the sheer range of outbuildings. There are two barns, a root cellar, a greenhouse, a detached insulated storage building constructed as recently as 2020, and a large multi-purpose outbuilding that combines a garage, workshop, woodshed, and a former cowshed. A spacious carport attaches to this structure. Adjacent to the farmstead sits arable and pasture land with no current written lease — meaning you decide entirely how it's used. Horse keeping is realistic here. So is a kitchen garden serious enough to feed you through the winter. Or you ignore all of it and let the meadow do what meadows do.

Herräng itself carries an unusual global reputation for a village of its size, and that's entirely down to the Herräng Dance Camp — five weeks every summer when swing dancers from sixty-plus countries descend on this tiny coastal community for what is genuinely regarded as the world's largest and most celebrated lindy hop event. The village transforms. Bands play late into the night. The community hall fills with international visitors. If you arrive at the marina during camp weeks expecting sleepy seaside Sweden, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Outside of those five weeks, Herräng settles back into itself: a marina about 6 kilometres away with a grocery store, a restaurant, a sandy beach, and the kind of calm that people drive two hours from Stockholm specifically to find.

Hallstavik is an eight-minute drive and covers every practical need — ICA, Coop, and Tempo supermarkets, a pharmacy, a health centre, banks, and the Carl Wahren Gymnasium for families considering longer stays or permanent relocation. There's a swimming pool, a skate park, riding schools with both indoor and outdoor arenas, speedway, and a nine-hole golf course nearby. None of this feels like a compromise.

For days when you want more energy, Grisslehamn is about 20 minutes by car and comes fully alive in summer. The fish shops there sell smoked shrimp and fresh-caught Baltic perch directly off the boats. Restaurants spill out onto harbour terraces. And from the Grisslehamn marina, the Eckerö Line departs for Åland — Finland's autonomous archipelago island group — which makes for an excellent two-day side trip. Albert Engström, the Swedish artist and writer, lived and worked in Grisslehamn for decades, and the area still carries that slightly literary, unhurried quality he clearly found useful.

The Roslagen coastline itself is a serious destination for outdoor activity across most of the year. Summer means kayaking the inner archipelago, sailing out of Herräng marina, swimming from the flat rocks and sandy patches along the shore, and cycling the quiet inland roads through forests that smell overwhelmingly of warm spruce. Autumn brings exceptional mushroom foraging — chanterelles and porcini in quantities that Swedish locals treat as a state secret — and the birch forests turn a yellow so sharp it's almost acidic. Winter here is genuine Nordic winter, and the cross-country ski trails around Hallstavik get properly used from December through February.

For international buyers, Sweden's property purchase process is relatively transparent and accessible. There are no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing property, and the legal framework is well-established. Property taxes in Sweden are capped at reasonable levels, and running costs for rural properties of this type tend to be predictable. The rental market in Roslagen is active through summer, with Stockholm families consistently seeking cottages and rural properties for June through August — the combination of outbuildings, land, and water proximity makes this estate particularly attractive as a short-term rental proposition during weeks you're not using it yourself.

At 359,500 SEK, this is priced as a working estate with genuine land, infrastructure, and a habitable house — not as a stripped-back cabin. The value here is the combination: a liveable home, a full complement of outbuildings, agricultural land, proximity to both a lake and the coast, and a location inside one of Sweden's most sought-after coastal regions.

- 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms across 130 sqm of living space

Properties like this one on Örviks byväg don't come up often, and when they do, the people who move fastest are usually the ones who already know Roslagen. If you don't know it yet, this is the reason to learn. Reach out through Homestra to arrange a viewing — summer or autumn both show this landscape at its most compelling, though honestly, a crisp October morning here with the birches in full colour makes a pretty convincing case on its own.

A country home for sale in Gävleborg, built in 2017 and fully off-grid, with a wood-fired sauna right on Gullbergsbotjärn lake. The house stands about nine kilometres along gravel forest roads from Viksjöfors, in Ovanåker municipality, and the closest neighbour is the water. It is small at 50 m², but it runs all year, is self-sufficient in electricity and already operates as a holiday rental for guests from abroad. A snowmobile, an off-road vehicle and a rowboat are included. ### A Country Home in Gävleborg with Its Own Lake Sauna Most off-grid cabins ask you to give something up. This one asks for less. The main house has two rooms and a kitchen, one bedroom and one bathroom, plus a modern shower, hot water, heating and high-speed internet. The seller describes the electricity supply as self-sufficient in all weather. At a viewing, ask how it is generated and what it covers in a dark January week. The plot is 1,648 m² with a garden and a spacious terrace. The house dates from 2017 and is in good condition, so the work is looking after it, not fixing it up. ### Sauna, Hot Tub and Jetty on Gullbergsbotjärn The lake is the reason to buy here. A separate wood-fired sauna stands directly on the water, and a private bathing jetty has room for a rowboat. Swim in summer, row out to fish, or do what Swedes do and go from sauna to lake and back. A wood-fired hot tub adds slow evenings under the stars. Wood-fired means work: fetching logs, lighting early, clearing ash. That ritual is part of the appeal, but owners should be ready for it. ### Rental Business and What Is Included The listing describes an established rental business with guests from around the world. For a second home in Sweden, that changes the maths: the ho ... click here to read more

Exterior view of Gullbergsbo 1535

This country home for sale in Djurhamn sits on a flat 2,380 m² plot on Vindö, with a guest house, a sauna building and a short walk to the water. The main house is a single-storey home from 1982, renovated inside, with three bedrooms on 63 m². Outside there is a wide lawn, mature fruit trees and a garden that backs onto public green space instead of a neighbour's fence. ### The House: Renovated Single-Storey Living Built in 1982 and updated throughout, the house is compact and sensibly laid out. Three bedrooms, a dining area, a kitchen and a living room share a semi-open plan. Cooking and conversation can overlap, yet each zone keeps its own purpose. The kitchen and the bathroom are both brand new, and all surfaces have been refreshed, so there is no renovation list waiting for the next owner. A fireplace anchors the living room for the cooler months. Double doors open from the same room onto the terrace and the garden, which means that in summer the living space simply extends outside. At 63 m² with one bathroom, the main house suits a couple or a small family well. Overnight guests have their own building (see below). ### Guest House, Sauna and a Garden Made for Gatherings The plot is flat, fenced with a classic wooden fence, and planted with mature fruit trees, including pears that hang heavy in season. The lawn is large enough for badminton, football or a long midsummer table. The rear of the property borders a public green area, and the house sits slightly apart from its neighbours, so the garden feels private. Beyond the main house you get two more buildings. The first is a large separate guest house with its own terrace, useful for visiting family, friends or older children who want some independence. The se ... click here to read more

Front view of the house and garden

This country home for sale in Herräng, Roslagen, comes with about 3 hectares, a 60 m² guest house and farm buildings 1.6 km from the sea. Most second homes in Sweden give you a lawn and a view of the neighbour's fence. This one gives you 30,944 m² of land: roughly two hectares of forest and one of arable field. Lake Blåkaren is 700 metres away, with fishing rights, and the coast is under two kilometres off. It suits a family that wants to grow its own food, keep a few animals or run a small business from home, and it is listed at 359,500 EUR. ### The Main House and the Guest House The main house is a 1.5-storey home with 122 m² of living area in good condition. The ground floor is laid out simply: an open-plan kitchen and living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a small room that works as an office or workshop. Upstairs there are two insulated attic spaces. They are not finished as living space today, but they give you room to add bedrooms later without extending the footprint. The practical side has been looked after. An approved sewage system was installed in 2012, and the water pipes are new, both inside the house and outside from the pump house. For a second home that you want to open up in March and still use in November, that matters more than a fresh coat of paint. Next to the house stands a guest house of about 60 m², suitable for year-round use. It has its own kitchen, bathroom, living room and two bedrooms. Friends can stay without sharing a bathroom queue, or you can let it out. There is also a small guest cottage on the plot for extra beds in summer. ### Land, Orchard and Outbuildings The current owners mainly used the land for cultivation, aiming at self-sufficiency. A fruit orchard is under way with ... click here to read more

Main house and grounds

This country home for sale in Ingarö, Stockholm, sits on a 7,030 m² plot, a rare amount of land for a 1940s cottage so close to the archipelago. The house itself is small and easy to run: 35 m², one bedroom, one bathroom, and a garden that does most of the talking. It is a holiday home in the Stockholm archipelago for someone who wants space around them rather than space inside. Think of a Swedish summer cottage with room for a vegetable patch, fruit trees and a long lawn, all within reach of the capital. ### Country Home for Sale in Ingarö: The Cottage and Its 7,030 m² The cottage dates from the 1940s and follows the classic summer-house pattern: a compact footprint, with the living area, kitchen and dining space flowing into each other. Large windows bring in light and look out on the greenery around the house. The kitchen is compact, with the essential appliances and storage. The bedroom takes a double bed and some storage furniture, and the bathroom is modest but easy to reach from both the bedroom and the living room. The condition is good and the house is described as ready to use straight away. You could arrive on a Friday evening with a bag of groceries and be settled in before dark. Then there is the land. Just over 7,000 m² is a lot by Stockholm-area standards. Mature trees give shade and privacy, and there are open grassy areas where children can play or where you can set up a table for long summer dinners. If you want to grow your own vegetables or plant an orchard, the room is there. The plot may also leave scope to add a guest cottage, a sauna or a storage shed later, though anything like that depends on local planning rules and should be checked with Värmdö municipality before you count on it. ### Li ... click here to read more

35 m² Holiday Home on Enkärrsvägen 5 Ingarö Enkärret Värmdö municipality - image 1

This country home for sale in Norrtälje sits on the island of Stomnarö with two houses, sea views and a boat mooring just 125 metres from the door. The plot covers 2,222 m² of garden and natural landscape. The idea is simple: the timber main house for the family, the guest house with its own sauna for everyone else. At €289,500 and in good condition, it is a practical way into a holiday home in the Stockholm archipelago. ### The Main House: Timber, Fireplace and South-Facing Terrace The main house dates from 1985 and has 58 m² of timber-built living space. Three bedrooms fit inside that footprint, so expect a cabin-style layout: compact, sensible, made for summers when every bed is taken. The living room has a fireplace, which means a cool evening in May or September is something to enjoy rather than avoid. There is a kitchen for everyday cooking and a washroom with a sink. From the living room you step straight onto a south-facing terrace. This is where the morning coffee goes, and later the long dinners when the light stays late. The seller describes the house as suitable for year-round use thanks to its solid construction. As with any island home, check heating, water and winter access in detail when you view it. ### Guest House with Sauna and Sleeping Loft The second building is a 38 m² guest house with an open-plan living area, a kitchen, a shower and a sauna. Above it is a large sleeping loft with room for several guests. It has its own south-facing terrace too, so visitors are not sitting on top of the main house. That separation is the real strength of the layout. Teenagers can claim the loft for the summer, friends can stay a week without anyone feeling crowded, and two generations can share the plot with ... click here to read more

Main house and garden view

This country home for sale in Södertälje sits on a 1,502 m² Lake Mälaren plot with a winterized cottage and a building permit for a villa. The cottage is small, 20 m² with one bedroom and one bathroom, so think of it as a starting point. Use it this summer, then decide whether to keep it as it is or carry the permit forward and build. The asking price is 285,000 EUR. ### The Cottage and the 1,502 m² Plot The cottage is winterized, so it is not limited to July and August. For a second home in Sweden that matters. Lake weekends here can run well into autumn, and a cold, clear January morning by the water is part of the appeal. The listing describes the condition as good. At 20 m² you get a compact base with one bedroom and one bathroom, and the real space is outside. The plot is generous for a lakeside lot near a city of this size. It has several flat areas, which is useful whether you want a lawn, a terrace for long dinners, a vegetable bed or a play area. Flat ground is also what you want if you plan to build. A driveway and exit give access to the property in all seasons, so you are not carrying groceries down a path in February. ### The Building Permit for a Villa This is what sets the property apart from other holiday homes near Stockholm. The current owner has already obtained a building permit for a villa. The start notice (the formal go-ahead before construction begins) has not been issued yet, so the next owner would pick up the process from there. The technical documentation needed for the start notice is already prepared, which should save a good deal of paperwork. The plot is also covered by a local development plan, and the documentation is available. The property is classified as a Småhusenhet (small ho ... click here to read more

Lake view and cottage exterior

On a still summer evening, the light in central Sweden does something unusual. It just refuses to leave. By nine o'clock, the sky above the fruit trees at Hermelinvägen 9 glows this particular shade of amber, and the birch leaves catch it in a way that makes you put down your wine glass and just stare. That's the moment you understand why people fall hard for this corner of Lake Mälaren's shoreline and never quite get over it. This is a genuine three-bedroom country home in Kalkudden, a well-established residential pocket within Strängnäs municipality that sits close enough to the water that you can smell it on humid mornings. The property has been properly winterized and renovated — not a cosmetic flip, but a thorough rethink — which means it works equally well as a full-time residence, a year-round Swedish vacation home, or a high-season holiday retreat that locks up cleanly between visits. It's priced at SEK 320,000, which, given the location, the plot size, and the condition, is the kind of number that makes local buyers move fast. The house itself spans 45 square meters of main living space on the ground floor, with an additional 45 square meters below in a fully usable basement level. That lower floor is where the flexibility lives. Set it up as a guest suite when your family comes to visit in July. Use it as a home office during quieter months. Or just let the kids claim it as their own territory. The new staircase connecting the floors is a clean, modern build — not an afterthought. Up on the main level, the kitchen was rebuilt from scratch. New cabinetry, considered materials, enough counter space to actually cook rather than just heat things up. On a Sunday morning, with the glass terrace doors propped open ... click here to read more

Exterior view of Hermelinvägen 9

Step outside on a February morning and the world is absolutely silent. Fresh snow has buried Vintergatan overnight, the birches are white to their tips, and Funäsdalsberget sits right there in your eyeline, lit pink by a sun that's just cresting the ridge. The cross-country trail runs past the edge of the plot. You clip in and go. That's not a fantasy — that's a Tuesday here. Vintergatan 19 is a rare kind of find in Swedish mountain real estate: a genuine farmstead footprint — 9,750 square meters in total — sitting on the quiet outskirts of Funäsdalen village, with a main house, a fully fitted guest house, snowmobile storage, and a clutch of outbuildings that give you flexibility most holiday properties simply can't offer. The main house dates to 1890 and carries the weight of that age in the best possible way — thick walls, real timber, the kind of construction that makes a wood stove feel like the center of the universe on a January evening. At 55 square meters of living space plus an additional 61 square meters of auxiliary area, it's not big, but it's arranged for how mountain life actually works: a place to dry wet gear, store skis, brew something hot, and gather around a table with the people you actually want to spend time with. Three rooms adapt easily — sleeping quarters, a sitting area, a workspace if you need it. Simple. Functional. Honest. The guest house changes the equation entirely. Having a fully equipped, separate space for visitors means you're not giving up your own routine when friends arrive for a ski weekend. They get independence; you get your mornings back. For those considering rental income — and the holiday rental market in Funäsdalen is genuinely strong, particularly November through April ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the main house and lot

At 10pm on a Swedish summer evening, the sun is still up. Not setting—just hanging there, painting the Kvarken archipelago in shades of amber and copper while you sit in the glass room watching a cormorant land on the rocks below the jetty. That's not a fantasy. That's a Tuesday at Svartviken 44. This 92-square-metre country home on the coast of Täfteå, roughly 25 kilometres north of Umeå, sits at the kind of address that locals don't talk about too loudly. The Rovågern area has stayed quietly itself for decades—real fishing boats at real boathouses, the smell of salt and pine together, and a road that the municipality actually grits in winter. People live here year-round, which tells you something. It's not a summer-only postcode that goes silent in September. It breathes in every season. The house itself was built in 1959, which gives it bones. Not the flimsy bones of something thrown up in a hurry, but the solid, thick-walled kind that holds warmth when October arrives with attitude. Extensive work in 2023 brought the kitchen fully into the modern era—opened up to the living room, reconfigured for how people actually cook and socialise—without stripping out the soul of the place. The plastered open fireplace at the heart of the main living area is the kind of feature that becomes a gathering point within hours of arrival. Light it on a grey August evening when the wind picks up over the water and the whole room rearranges itself around it. Every main room faces the sea. That's not an accident of layout—it's the whole point of this property. The water is visible from the kitchen while you're making coffee. It's there from the living room sofa. And then there's the glass-enclosed room added in 2023, a full-width exte ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home and waterfront

Early morning in Furusund, the water is so still it mirrors the pine trees perfectly. You walk out of the front door on Monte Christos väg 17, coffee in hand, and the only sound is the distant chug of a wooden sailboat rounding the headland toward the open Baltic. The jetty is ten steps away. This is what you came for. Furusund sits at the outermost edge of the Norrtälje archipelago, roughly 80 kilometers north of Stockholm — close enough to the city that you can be there in under an hour and a half by car, yet far enough that mobile signal feels like a minor inconvenience rather than a lifeline. The village is small and unassuming: a harbor, a marina, a handful of locals who have been spending summers here for generations, and the Furusund Inn, which has been serving fresh herring and cold snaps since the 1800s. August here smells like sunscreen and smoked fish and salt air. In June, the midsommar poles go up near the harbor and the whole community gathers to dance, eat strawberries with cream, and argue about whose grandmother's dill sauce recipe is better. It is deeply, specifically Swedish in a way that no curated resort can replicate. The house itself was built in 1955 and carries that era's particular kind of confidence — solid timber construction, low roofline, windows placed to catch the afternoon light rather than impress from the street. Seventy square meters doesn't sound large on paper, but the layout wastes nothing. The open-plan living room and kitchen feel genuinely spacious once you're inside, with original wooden floors that have gone warm and honey-gold over the decades. The kitchen has been updated with modern appliances while keeping the proportions and feel of the original, so it doesn't look like ... click here to read more

Front view of the holiday home

Stand on the hillside at Heden 42 on a clear October night and the sky does something you won't forget. No streetlights, no neighbors close enough to matter, just the Northern Lights rippling green and violet over the Västerdalälven valley below. This is Storstensgård — a 4.4-hectare estate outside the village of Nås in Dalarna's Vansbro municipality — and this is the kind of moment that explains why people buy a property like this and never look back. The estate takes its name from a natural stone monolith standing over five meters tall at the center of the grounds. That stone has been here longer than the farmhouse, longer than the historic entrance pillars, longer than the original photographs preserved inside the main house that show female soldiers billeted on the property in an earlier century. There's a tangible weight of story here, and the land holds it quietly. The main house dates to 1889. You enter through a glass veranda — the kind of addition that Scandinavian farmhouses have always used to trap winter light — and immediately the high ceilings and original roof lines tell you this was built by people who cared about proportion. The wooden floors have been lived on for over a century. The living room centers on a wood-burning stove, and in January, when Dalarna's temperatures drop hard and the surrounding fields go white and silent, that stove becomes the heart of the entire house. There's also an air-to-air heat pump for the days when you want warmth without the ritual of splitting logs. The kitchen is genuinely large — large enough for a dining table that seats eight without anyone feeling crowded — and it has both a wood stove and a pizza oven. Not ornamental. Actually used. Fully fitted with built-in ... click here to read more

Photo 1 of HEDEN 42

Stand on the terrace just after sunrise, coffee in hand, and watch a family of deer pick their way across the fairway below. The pond catches the early light. Somewhere behind you, through cedar-clad walls still cool from the Swedish night, a fire is waiting to be lit. This is a Tuesday morning in Örkelljunga—and it feels like a week away from the world. Woodlands Country Club sits in the heart of Skåne, the southernmost county in Sweden, tucked into a landscape that shifts dramatically with the seasons. Spring brings lime-green birch leaves and the thwack of the first golf round of the year. Summer gets genuinely warm here—Skåne sits closer to Copenhagen than Stockholm, and long June evenings stretch past ten o'clock. Come October, the forest turns amber and rust, and the fairways are yours almost alone. There is something quietly special about this corner of Sweden that visitors from Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK have been discovering for years. Örkelljunga itself is a small town with real character: a bakery on Storgatan that opens at seven, a Thursday market in summer, and a pace of life that makes you realize you've been moving too fast. The house at plot 44 was designed by Henning Larsen Architects—a Copenhagen-based firm with a genuine international reputation, not a name dropped casually. The building sits elevated on pillars, its footprint following the slope of the land rather than flattening it. That decision, which might sound technical, means the forest floor runs uninterrupted beneath and around the structure. You don't arrive at the house so much as into it, the cedar facade having weathered to a silver-grey tone that reads almost like bark from a distance. Built in 2008 and maintained in excellen ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and surroundings

The ferry horn sounds somewhere out on the water, and you're already halfway through your morning coffee on the deck — the one with the birch tree growing straight through the middle of it, branches overhead, Baltic light filtering through. That's the particular kind of morning that Humlegården on Sundholmen delivers, almost every single day from late April through September. This is archipelago life as the Swedes have quietly perfected it over generations, and now it's available to international buyers ready to claim their piece of Roslagen. Sundholmen sits just off Håtö in the Norrtälje archipelago, roughly 90 kilometres north of Stockholm. The island is reached by private boat from the mainland parking area at Håtö — a crossing of only a few minutes, but one that instantly shifts the pace of everything. Your car stays behind. The noise stays behind. What you arrive to is a landscape of granite outcrops, mixed forest, meadow grass blowing in off the sea, and a community of summer cottages that has barely changed in feel since the mid-20th century. The property itself is called Humlegården — hops garden, in Swedish — and the name gives you a sense of its character. There's a generosity to the layout. The main house, built in 1987 and added to over the years, sits at the heart of roughly a third of an acre of garden that moves from mown lawn to wilder woodland without any hard edge between them. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen-living room with an open fireplace and a secondary iron stove for the shoulder seasons. It's 55 square metres inside the main house — compact, honest, nothing wasted — but the real living space extends far beyond those walls. The deck alone changes the equation entirely. Accessed straight ... click here to read more

Main house and deck

Stand in the kitchen on a September morning and count the apples on the Sörmlandsäpple tree through the window. They're nearly ready. The smell of woodsmoke drifts in from the whitewashed fireplace in the next room, and somewhere down the gravel path, Nyckelsjön is perfectly still. This is Tjärtorp — a two-bedroom timber house in the village of Ullevi, just outside Gnesta in Södermanland — and it has the kind of quiet intensity that makes people stop looking at other properties. The house is red-painted timber, classic Falun red, the colour that has marked Swedish rural buildings for centuries. Up close, the facade details reward attention — the kind of craftsmanship that doesn't come from a catalogue. Inside, the ceiling height surprises you. Wide wooden floors carry the patina of generations, the timber walls hold warmth even before the fire is lit, and exposed beams overhead remind you that this building was made to last. The large whitewashed fireplace anchors the main living space. It isn't decorative. On a dark November evening, it is the whole room. The renovation work done here is worth understanding properly, because it separates Tjärtorp from the majority of Swedish country homes on the market. The walls and woodwork are finished in linseed oil paint — breathable, traditional, and far kinder to old timber than modern synthetic alternatives. The wallpapers are from Lim & Handtryck, printed from historical originals dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. These are considered collector's items in some circles, and they're on your walls. At the same time, the house has been fully rewired, replumbed, reinsulated, and connected to fibre internet. A new roof is scheduled for 2025 to 2026. The windows were restored b ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the timber house and garden

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the Baltic is already glittering below you. Seabirds circle above the rocky shoreline. The smell of warm pine from the sauna building still lingers from last night. This is Väbynäsvägen 15 — a two-bedroom summer cottage perched on an elevated lot in Väby, just outside Ronneby in the heart of Blekinge, Sweden's most underrated coastal region. The house itself is compact and honest. Built in 1978 and kept in genuinely good shape, the 43 square metres inside are arranged with the kind of practical intelligence that Scandinavian summer homes have always gotten right. Every room earns its place. The living room faces the sea and its large windows pull the view inside, filling the space with reflected light off the water from mid-morning onward. When the afternoon sun swings around, it catches the surface of the bay and the whole room shifts. You don't stop noticing it. The kitchen works. Nothing fancy, but it handles what a summer household needs — big family breakfasts, late dinners after a day out on the water, quick lunches before heading back down to the jetty. Two bedrooms are quiet and well-proportioned. One bathroom. The layout keeps things simple, which is exactly the point when you're spending most of your time outdoors anyway. And the outdoors here is the real argument for this property. The 1,092-square-metre lot is generous by any standard, terraced into the hillside with several distinct seating areas — one catches the morning sun, another faces west for the long Swedish summer evenings that don't end until past ten. Mature trees give shade without blocking the water view. The garden is tidy, planted with a mix of lawn and flowering shrubs that take care of t ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's six in the morning, the mist is still sitting on Lake Vänern, and you're standing on a west-facing terrace with a cup of coffee watching the water turn gold. No traffic noise. Just birdsong, the occasional creak of a wooden dock somewhere below, and the kind of quiet that takes a few days to fully sink into. That's what mornings feel like at Mellåsen 5. This is a proper Swedish countryside retreat — 75 square metres of well-kept living space on an elevated, private plot in Mellåsen, a small community just outside the town of Mariestad on the eastern shore of Lake Vänern. Sweden's largest lake, and Europe's third largest, Vänern isn't just a view — it's the reason people come to this part of Västergötland and keep coming back. The house itself is two bedrooms, one bathroom, and it's been cared for in a way that shows. The current owners have lived in it, not just visited it. The kitchen has a proper setup — stove, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, good storage — and it opens directly into a dining area where the west-facing window gives you an uninterrupted view of the water. On a clear July evening, when the sun doesn't set until nearly eleven, that window is the best seat in the house. The dining area flows out through the conservatory and onto the main terrace, so summer meals have a way of drifting outside without anyone consciously deciding to move. That 23-square-metre glazed conservatory is one of the property's most practical features, and it's genuinely useful beyond the summer months. Infrared heating panels extend comfortable use well into October, maybe November if you're not too precious about a sweater. Fully opening sliding doors mean it can be thrown open entirely in warm weather, and two a ... click here to read more

Wake up in the sleeping loft on a July morning and the east-facing gable window does the work for you — soft Scandinavian light spilling over wooden floors before the rest of the house stirs. Down in the kitchen, the old double door is already thrown open to the garden, and the smell of apple blossom drifts in from trees that have been growing here longer than most people can remember. This is Komstad, a quiet hamlet in the Österlen countryside of southeast Skåne, and life here moves at a pace that most of Europe has forgotten how to do. The cottage dates to the 1870s and wears its age well. Someone has taken genuine care with it — not the kind of renovation that strips a place of everything interesting, but the kind that keeps the open-beamed ceiling in the living room and the original soul of the layout while quietly upgrading what matters. There's underfloor practicality in the fully tiled bathroom, a shower behind a clean glass wall, and a washing machine tucked in beside it. The kitchen has integrated appliances, a dishwasher, an island that becomes the natural gathering point when friends arrive, and a wood-burning stove that earns its keep from October through to March. The Bang & Olufsen sound system wired into the living room is the one small luxury that doesn't apologize for itself — good music through good speakers, while the fireplace crackles and rain patters against the southwest-facing deck outside. That deck deserves its own mention. Glass doors open directly from the renovated west gable onto a broad wooden terrace that catches the afternoon and evening sun until the last possible moment. A pergola draped in white climbing roses frames the view over open agricultural fields — flat, wide Skåne landscape ... click here to read more

Step outside on a still Tuesday morning in late September and the air smells of damp grass and Swedish pine. A horse shifts in its stable forty meters away. The fields roll out in every direction, gold and grey-green, the kind of quiet that city people drive three hours to find—and here it's simply the default setting. This is Slimminge 189, a five-bedroom country home on 1.6 hectares of south Swedish farmland outside Skurup, and it is genuinely unlike most things on the market in Skåne right now. The house itself was built in 1909, and you can feel that in the bones of it—solid, unhurried, built with the assumption that it would outlast everyone who ever lived in it. But nobody is asking you to live with 1909 kitchen fittings. The kitchen has been renovated properly, not just resurfaced: real storage, real counter space, modern appliances that actually function. On Sunday evenings this kitchen earns its keep. The layout opens toward the dining area, so whoever is cooking isn't banished from the conversation. Big windows pull the countryside inside, and in winter the low Scandinavian light makes the whole room glow in a way that is almost theatrical. One hundred and seventy-five square meters across two floors gives the family room to breathe. Five bedrooms means you can host parents and kids and still have a room for the person who can't share a bathroom with anyone else. Two fully tiled bathrooms keep the morning routine from becoming a crisis. There's also a 62-square-meter secondary area—call it what you like: a workshop, a tack room overflow, a creative studio, a mudroom that actually handles the mud. Rural living generates clutter, and this building swallows it. The courtyard is where the property reveals itself ... click here to read more

There's a particular kind of quiet that settles over Tulka on a Tuesday morning in August — the kind where you can hear the barn swallows arguing over the hayloft, the distant chime of a buoy somewhere out on the Roslagen water, and nothing else. Stand on the southwest-facing terrace of this 1909 farmhouse with a cup of coffee and you'll understand immediately why families have been holding onto land like this for generations. Set on two jointly taxed parcels totaling nearly 23 hectares just 6 kilometres south of Herräng village, this is a rare working estate in one of Sweden's most quietly coveted coastal farming regions. It's not a renovation project. It's not a fantasy. The bones have been here for over a century, and the current stewards have spent decades getting the details right — geothermal heat pump, solar panels on the barn roof, high-speed fiber run into the main house, an electric car charger by the outbuildings. The infrastructure is there. What you do with 22.87 hectares of Swedish countryside is entirely up to you. The main house itself dates from 1909 and carries that particular weight of well-built things. Two storeys, six rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms across the estate. Original period details have been kept where they matter — the proportions of the rooms, the character of the woodwork — while the practical systems have been modernized without fanfare. Heating is handled by a ground-source heat pump that also supplies the guest house next door, so running costs stay manageable year-round even when Stockholm temperatures dip well below zero in January. That guest house — locally called the brygghus, a nod to its original function as a brew house — is one of the estate's quiet revelations. Fully ... click here to read more

The scent of wild herbs drifts across your meadow garden, while birdsong fills the air from the protective forest beyond. This is life at your Swedish countryside retreat in Tulka, where each season brings its own rhythm and the archipelago beckons just one kilometer away. This 79-square-meter home from 1909 sits on over 3,200 square meters of gently sloping land, offering an authentic escape into the storied landscape of Roslagen, Sweden's gateway to the Baltic Sea archipelago. The property combines the soul of early 20th-century Swedish craftsmanship with practical amenities for modern vacation living, creating a ready-to-enjoy second home that welcomes you year-round. Inside, mullioned windows frame views across open farmland while original wooden floors flow through rooms warmed by crackling wood-burning stoves.

Exterior view of the cottage and garden

This country home for sale in Herräng, Roslagen, comes with about 3 hectares, a 60 m² guest house and farm buildings 1.6 km from the sea. Most second homes in Sweden give you a lawn and a view of the neighbour's fence. This one gives you 30,944 m² of land: roughly two hectares of forest and one of arable field. Lake Blåkaren is 700 metres away, with fishing rights, and the coast is under two kilometres off. It suits a family that wants to grow its own food, keep a few animals or run a small business from home, and it is listed at 359,500 EUR. ### The Main House and the Guest House The main house is a 1.5-storey home with 122 m² of living area in good condition. The ground floor is laid out simply: an open-plan kitchen and living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a small room that works as an office or workshop. Upstairs there are two insulated attic spaces. They are not finished as living space today, but they give you room to add bedrooms later without extending the footprint. The practical side has been looked after. An approved sewage system was installed in 2012, and the water pipes are new, both inside the house and outside from the pump house. For a second home that you want to open up in March and still use in November, that matters more than a fresh coat of paint. Next to the house stands a guest house of about 60 m², suitable for year-round use. It has its own kitchen, bathroom, living room and two bedrooms. Friends can stay without sharing a bathroom queue, or you can let it out. There is also a small guest cottage on the plot for extra beds in summer. ### Land, Orchard and Outbuildings The current owners mainly used the land for cultivation, aiming at self-sufficiency.

Main house and pool with sea view

The wood-burning stove is already crackling when you wake up on a Saturday morning in October, and through the big living room windows you can see frost on the grass and mist sitting low over the pines. By 9am you're pulling on boots and walking the 550 metres down to the dock at Korgil, thermos in hand, watching a grey heron stand absolutely still at the water's edge. This is what a second home in the Swedish archipelago actually feels like — unhurried, raw, and genuinely restorative in a way that a week in a hotel never manages to be. Mörtvägen 2 sits on a generous 2,353 square metre plot in Korgil, a quiet pocket of Norrtälje municipality roughly 90 kilometres north of Stockholm. Herräng itself is the kind of place most Swedes know mainly because of the Herräng Dance Camp — a legendary annual swing dance festival that transforms this sleepy coastal village every July into something quietly electric. The rest of the year, it belongs to the locals, the summer regulars, and anyone sharp enough to have bought a place here before word got out. The house dates from 1967 and measures 54 square metres — compact, yes, but the layout earns every centimetre. Two bedrooms. A living room anchored by that wood-burning stove. A kitchen big enough to actually cook in, not just heat things up. Large windows pull the garden and the treeline inside, and the open connection between kitchen, dining area, and living room means a household of four or five people can move around each other without friction. On summer evenings the whole ground floor flows out onto the wide wooden deck, where there's room for a proper outdoor table, a gas grill, and still space left over to stretch out on a sun lounger and do absolutely nothing. The guest h ... click here to read more

On a still July morning in Herräng, you crack the upstairs balcony door and the air comes in cool and pine-sharp, carrying the faint sound of someone rowing out past the rocks below. The apple trees in the garden are heavy. Coffee is already on. This is what owning a second home in Roslagen actually feels like — and Norra Kallbodavägen 82 is one of those rare finds that delivers it without compromise. Built in 1930 and thoroughly renovated to a standard that leaves nothing to the imagination, this two-bedroom country home sits on a private, elevated plot of 3,841 square meters in Bredsund, just outside Herräng village. The renovation was not cosmetic. Everything was addressed: roof, façade, electrical systems, plumbing, bathroom, kitchen, and interior surfaces. What remains is the original soul of a Swedish country house — its proportions, its timber character, its relationship to the land — now wrapped in a level of comfort you can move into without a single weekend of DIY. The kitchen was finished in a soft sage green and has real workspace, not just the illusion of it. There's room for a proper dining table, which matters when you're feeding guests after a long day on the water. The bathroom next door is fully tiled, fitted with a shower, and plumbed for a washing machine — practical details that international owners especially appreciate. Upstairs, the house opens into a central living area that connects the two bedrooms, both capable of fitting double beds, with a wood-burning stove anchoring the whole floor. On cold October weekends, when the birch trees outside turn and the archipelago empties out, that stove earns its place. The balcony off the upper level faces the sun through most of the day. In June, that m ... click here to read more

Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Hallstavik, Sweden, lies a charming farmhouse awaiting its new owners. Utsunds byväg 40 is more than just an address; it is a slice of serene rural life, steeped in history and bursting with potential.

To paint a picture of the kind of life you could enjoy here, let's start with the area. Hallstavik sits in the picturesque region of Norrtälje, known for its stunning landscapes and rich historical heritage.

The coffee tastes better on this terrace. Something about the birch trees filtering the early morning light, the faint smell of salt air drifting up from Herräng's rocky shore just around the corner, the silence that isn't really silence at all — it's wood pigeons, rustling leaves, the occasional distant outboard motor. You're 350 meters from the sea. It feels like another world entirely. Råvikskroken 1 sits on a generous 2,156-square-meter plot in one of the most quietly coveted pockets of the Stockholm Archipelago. Herräng is not one of those over-photographed Swedish villages that ends up on every travel blog. It's known among those who know — jazz musicians, archipelago regulars, Stockholm families who discovered it decades ago and have been coming back every June since. The Herräng Dance Camp, one of the world's most famous swing jazz festivals, has called this village home for over 40 years. In summer, the sound of live brass carries on the wind and the village takes on a warm, international energy before settling back into its natural quiet. If you want the untouched archipelago without the weekend crowds of Vaxholm or Grisslehamn, Herräng is exactly where you end up. The house itself was built in 1978 and has been kept in good condition — this isn't a renovation project, it's a property you can start enjoying immediately. At 78 square meters across two bedrooms and one bathroom, the layout is compact but genuinely livable, the kind of floor plan that feels right rather than just adequate.

Step outside on a July morning in Hallstavik and the air smells like warm pine resin and wet grass. The forest starts just beyond the wooden fence. Coffee in hand, you sit on the deck and watch a thrush work its way through the raised beds. This is not a fantasy—this is a Tuesday. Sandgropsvägen 26 is a red-painted Swedish cottage from 1887 sitting on a 1,860-square-metre plot that has been shaped, planted, and cared for over many years into something genuinely worth seeing. The garden alone would justify the visit. Gravel paths thread between fruit trees, mature perennials, and raised planting beds that produce through late spring all the way into October. There's a small greenhouse where you can start seedlings in March while snow is still piled against the fence outside. A guest cottage sits separately on the plot—useful whether you have friends coming for midsommar or you need a quiet room away from everything to read, paint, or work. Inside the main house, the kitchen sets the tone immediately. Open shelving, beadboard paneling, natural light coming through small windows at an angle that makes the whole room feel like it belongs to a different century—in the best way. Nothing is showy. The materials are honest and the proportions are right. You can cook a proper meal here: Swedish classics like raggmunk with lingonberries or a slow-simmered fish soup made from whatever the local fishermen brought into Grisslehamn that morning. The living room next to it is quiet and warm, the kind of room where you sit down intending to read for twenty minutes and look up two hours later. Soft colors, natural textures, windows facing the garden. Upstairs is more compact but well thought out. A newer bathroom handles the practical ... click here to read more
