Description

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. Arranged around an inner yard, the house creates a natural gathering space that's sheltered from wind, warm in the afternoon sun, and completely private. Three timber-decked terraces fan out from the main structure at different orientations, so you're never stuck chasing or avoiding the sun—you just move to a different terrace. In July, when Skåne gets its long summer evenings and the light holds until almost eleven at night, these terraces become the best seats in southern Sweden.

Now, the horses. Six boxes, a floodlit riding arena, open paddocks. For anyone already deep in the equestrian world, this setup is immediately legible—it's functional, it's serious, and it doesn't require a rebuild before you can use it. For a family that wants to start keeping horses without the years-long project of building facilities from scratch, this is a significant head start. The arena lighting means you're not restricted to the short winter daylight; you can ride at seven in the evening in January and still see what you're doing. The paddocks have room to expand if ambitions grow.

Skurup itself is five minutes by bike—not "bikeable in good weather with the right bike," just a normal bike ride. The town has what you need: ICA supermarket, schools, the Pågatåg regional train that runs south toward Malmö in about 35 minutes and north toward Lund. For a weekend retreat, this barely matters. For a permanent base or a longer seasonal stay, it matters enormously. Malmö's central station, Triangeln, Hyllie—all reachable for work or culture without the performance of a major commute.

Skåne as a region rewards the people who take time to learn it. The Österlen coastline is about 40 minutes east—flat, dramatic, with cold clear water and the kind of beaches that are busy in August and completely deserted by the first week of September. Ales Stenar, the ancient stone ship formation perched above Kåseberga harbor, is one of those places that genuinely surprises people who weren't expecting much. Drive west and you hit the Öresund bridge corridor, Copenhagen airport reachable in just over an hour. This corner of Sweden is more internationally connected than its quiet fields suggest.

Seasonal life here has a real rhythm. Winter means slow mornings, frozen ground in the paddocks, the faint smell of wood smoke from neighboring farms, and the particular comfort of a solid old house doing what it was built to do. Spring arrives fast in Skåne and the rape fields turn yellow almost overnight—a color so intense it looks slightly unreal. Summer belongs to the garden, the terraces, and the long evening rides. Autumn brings mushroom foraging in the nearby forest edges and the annual Österlen arts festival circuit, when studios and galleries across the region open their doors.

For international buyers, Sweden offers a transparent property market with no restrictions on foreign ownership of real estate. The property is freehold—full ownership with no leasehold complications. Running costs come to approximately 40,690 SEK annually, which is honest for an estate of this size. The energy rating is F, which reflects the building's age; it also means there is genuine room to improve insulation and heating efficiency, investments that both reduce running costs and add value. New owners who want to make their mark on the place have that opportunity without having to demolish what's already good.

Rental potential for equestrian properties in Skåne is growing, driven by demand from riders who want to bring their horses on longer stays. A property with this kind of infrastructure—arena, six boxes, paddocks, generous accommodation—can attract extended lets rather than quick weekend bookings, which tends to mean better income with less management friction.

Key features at a glance:

— 5 bedrooms, 2 fully tiled bathrooms across 175 sqm of living space
— Built 1909, renovated kitchen and bathrooms, solid overall condition
— 1.6 hectares (16,000 sqm) of land including paddocks and open fields
— 6 horse boxes with floodlit riding arena
— Courtyard layout with 3 separate timber-decked terraces
— 62 sqm secondary building (storage, workshop, tack room)
— Cycling distance to Skurup town center and Pågatåg train station

— Österlen coast around 40 minutes east
— Freehold ownership, no foreign buyer restrictions
— Annual operating costs approx. 40,690 SEK
— Investment potential for equestrian holiday rentals
— Energy rating F with clear upgrade path for new owners

Properties like this—proper equestrian infrastructure, generous accommodation, good land, and a location that actually connects you to the wider world—don't sit around in Skåne. The combination is rare at this price point, particularly with a house that has already been brought up to a livable modern standard rather than one that needs years of work before it functions properly.

Get in touch through Homestra to arrange a viewing. See the arena, walk the paddocks, stand in the courtyard on a quiet afternoon. It tells you more than any description can.

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in late August and the fields at Söderhenninge are gold-green and dead quiet, except for the crows working the far edge of the meadow and the faint clatter of a tractor somewhere over the ridge toward Edsbro. That's the sound of this place. Not silence exactly, but the particular hush of countryside that hasn't been touched up for anyone. This is a genuine Swedish farmstead — two residential houses, a cluster of solid outbuildings, and 6.3 hectares of mostly arable land sitting in Norrtälje municipality, about 90 minutes north of Stockholm by car. It's the kind of property that people in the city talk about wanting for years and rarely find at a price that makes actual sense. At 450,000 SEK for the full estate, the numbers are hard to argue with. The main house was built in 1936 and covers 99 square meters, with four rooms arranged in the unhurried way that rural Swedish builders favored — a real kitchen with room to cook properly, a living room that gets afternoon light, and bedrooms that feel like bedrooms rather than closets with aspirations. The windows are large, which matters here because what you're looking at through them changes week by week: snow-dusted fields in January, wildflowers pushing up along the fence lines in May, the low copper light of a Swedish autumn stretching across the paddocks in October. There's an additional 50 square meters of secondary living space in the main structure too, which gives you genuine flexibility for a home office, a mudroom setup, or just extra storage without crowding the main living areas. The second residential building is a real asset that most comparable properties don't offer. It functions independently, which means extended family ... click here to read more

Main house and outbuildings, Söderhenninge 5 och 3

On a still February morning at Matsbo 7, the only sounds are the creak of snow settling on the roof and, somewhere below the garden, the Ljusnan river threading quietly through the valley. You pull on your boots, step outside into minus-eight air that bites your cheeks in the best possible way, and you're at the trailhead in four minutes flat. This is Bruksvallarna — and once you've spent a winter here, you'll understand why Swedes return year after year with the kind of quiet loyalty that doesn't need explaining. Matsbo 7 sits on a 2,296 square metre plot on a calm residential street in the centre of the village. It's not a remote cabin requiring a four-wheel drive and three hours of mountain road — it's genuinely walkable to the ICA Stigmyrs grocery store, the village brasserie, a weaving studio, and the local hotel. That proximity matters more than it sounds. On a dark January afternoon when the temperature drops hard, being able to grab provisions on foot rather than scraping ice off a car is its own small luxury. The property is built in two connected sections, each with its own entrance, and this dual layout is the detail that makes it genuinely interesting for buyers. The newer wing, comprehensively updated in 2015, has the kind of open-plan arrangement that works for large family gatherings — a wide living room, a white kitchen with real storage space, a dining area that seats a crowd, and a bathroom with contemporary fittings. Two bunk beds and a double mean six people sleep here comfortably without anyone feeling crammed. The older section is a different mood entirely. Panel-clad walls, a proper open fireplace, and a sitting room that feels like it was built for long evenings with aquavit and card games. One ... click here to read more

At six in the morning, the water off Södra Finnö sits completely still. You walk the fifty metres from your front door down to the private jetty, coffee in hand, and the only sound is a common eider calling somewhere out toward Fyrudden. This is what people mean when they talk about the Swedish summer — and this two-bedroom country home in the heart of the Sankt Anna archipelago puts you right inside it. Sankt Anna is one of those places that Swedes have quietly kept to themselves. Spread across more than six thousand islands and skerries east of Söderköping in Östergötland, the archipelago doesn't have the tourist crowds of Stockholm's outer islands or the Bohuslän coast. What it has instead is genuinely wild coastline, sheltered bays where the water warms up fast in July, and that particular quality of light in late afternoon that turns the granite pink. The nearest mainland town, Söderköping, is one of Sweden's most intact medieval towns — Saturday mornings there mean wandering the Storgatan, picking up fresh bread from the bakery, and stopping for a coffee before the short drive back through pine forest to the island. The house itself was built in 1987 and sits on just over 2,000 square metres of land. Sixty-seven square metres inside, which sounds compact until you're actually in it — the open layout connecting the living room, dining area, and kitchen makes the space work hard, and the large windows along the sea-facing side mean the water is always present, even when you're cooking. On autumn evenings, when the temperature drops and the archipelago empties out, the wood-burning fireplace becomes the centre of gravity for the whole house. The geothermal heating system (bergvärme) backs it up, meaning this isn't j ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first — cut grass warming in the late afternoon sun, woodsmoke drifting from somewhere across the fields, and the faint sweetness of the apple trees that line the far edge of the yard. Then you notice how quiet it actually is. Not the uncomfortable quiet of isolation, but the deep, settled quiet of a place that has been at peace with itself for over a hundred years. That's Fågelsta Stormbacken. A 1910 red-painted farmstead on the outer edge of Julita, Katrineholms kommun, sitting on 1.3 hectares of Swedish countryside with the kind of bones that modern houses simply can't replicate. The main house runs to 160 square metres across seven rooms, and it carries its age well. Wide wooden floors creak in exactly the right places. Original period doors still swing on their hinges. Three traditional tiled stoves — kakelugnar — stand in the sitting rooms and do what they've always done: turn a cold November evening into something you don't want to leave. The ceilings are high enough that the rooms never feel crowded even when the family descends in full. Large windows face the courtyard and the open fields beyond, pulling in light from morning through to the long Swedish summer evenings when dusk doesn't fall until nearly eleven o'clock. The kitchen is the heart of the place, as it should be. Country-style cabinetry, a serious amount of worktop space, and updated appliances sit alongside the original character of the room without any sense of awkward compromise. The dining area flows directly off it, which matters enormously when you're hosting — plates passing between rooms, conversation spilling between spaces. This is a kitchen designed for proper cooking, not just reheating. Think slow-braised elk from t ... click here to read more

The first morning you wake up at Nedersta 6, you'll hear it before you see it — hooves shuffling in the straw, the low whinny of a horse greeting the pale Swedish dawn through the frosted stable window. Step outside and the air carries that particular mix of pine, damp earth, and hay that no city has ever managed to replicate. This is life on 1.5 hectares of Swedish countryside, and once you've had a taste of it, a regular apartment somewhere will feel like a compromise. Set on a generous freehold plot of 15,054 square meters just outside Västerås, this three-bedroom country home dates to 1900 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — not a cosmetic flip, but the kind of careful upkeep that means the bones are solid and the systems are current. The Kenrex septic system was replaced in 2013. Fiber internet runs to the house. The insulated, heated water pipes in the stables won't freeze when January in Mälardalen decides to turn serious. Somebody here thought practically, and it shows. Inside the main residence, the kitchen anchors daily life the way a good kitchen should. A traditional wood-burning stove sits at its heart — functional, not decorative — and on a grey October afternoon, with soup on the hob and the terrace door cracked open to the smell of wet leaves, it's the kind of room that earns the word "home" properly. The ground floor flows from kitchen to living and dining areas in an open layout that works well for a family coming in from a morning's riding, muddy boots deposited in the practical mudroom near the guest WC. A fireplace in the living room handles the deep cold of February with ease. Direct access from the ground floor leads out to a covered terrace, which matters here — Swedish summers are g ... click here to read more

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 g ... click here to read more

Main house and yard

Step outside on a January morning and the world is completely white and completely silent. The ski tracks cut through the snow maybe three hundred meters from the front door. You clip into your skis on the porch, push off, and within minutes you're gliding through birch forest with no one else in sight. That's a Tuesday here at Hagströmsvallen 105. This two-bedroom country home sits on a generous 3,500-square-meter lot on the slopes above Bruksvallarna in Härjedalen, one of Sweden's most celebrated mountain regions. At 61 square meters, the house is compact and honest—every square meter works. The open-plan living and kitchen area anchors the interior, with a wood-burning fireplace that earns its place on a cold March evening when the temperature outside drops to minus fifteen and the snow is still falling. Both bedrooms are quiet. The bathroom has a washing machine, which matters more than people think when you're spending a full week. And then there's the sauna, with its own small relaxation room—not a luxury addition but a genuine necessity up here, the place you end up after a long day on the trails with aching legs and cold feet. Outside, the lot is substantial. Mountain birches frame the property. In summer, the neighboring field fills with grazing cattle, and if you leave the kitchen window open you hear the bells. There's an outbuilding for storage, a woodshed stocked for winter, and a störrös—a traditional small cabin with an open hearth—that speaks directly to the older rhythms of this mountain landscape. Fäbodvallen culture, where highland summer farms dotted these slopes for centuries, left its mark on the architecture and atmosphere of this whole valley, and you feel it here. The Nordic ski tracks groomed ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in early July, coffee in hand, and the Baltic is right there — glinting through the pine trunks, less than fifty meters from your front door. The air smells of salt and warm resin. A boat is heading out from the marina. Yours is tied up in your own private berth, waiting. This is what a morning at Havsvägen 32 looks like. Furuvik sits on a slender tongue of land along the Gävle coast, about 12 kilometers south of Gävle city center — far enough that the summer crowds haven't taken over, close enough that you're never truly cut off. It's the kind of spot that Swedes pass down through families rather than advertise. A quiet residential road, a handful of houses, and then the sea. Havsvägen is exactly what the name says: the sea road. The property itself occupies a remarkable 3,786 square meters of coastal land. That's not a typo. On this stretch of the Swedish coast, a plot this size with direct water proximity doesn't surface often. The main holiday house dates from 1950, built in the solid, unpretentious style of Swedish sommarstugor from that era — roughly 79 square meters across five rooms, sitting back from the lane with mature trees wrapping around it on three sides. It's in good condition, functional, and completely livable right now. But the real story here is what the land makes possible. Several smaller guest cottages dot the lot, handy for the extended family visits that inevitably happen the moment you own a place like this. Cousins from Gothenburg, friends from abroad — Swedish summer hospitality runs deep, and having a spare cabin means you never have to choose between hosting and having your own space. The whole compound has a slightly rambling, unhurried quality that feel ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and lot

Picture this: you cut the engine, the boat drifts the last few meters to the jetty, and the only sound left is water slapping softly against the granite. No neighbors. No traffic. Just the smell of sun-warmed pine resin and the faint call of a common tern somewhere out over Skrävlafjärden. The entire island is yours. Every rock, every handful of sand, every inch of shoreline — yours. This is what owning a private island in the Stockholm archipelago actually feels like. Not a fantasy. A real, registered, freehold property sitting on 1,825 square meters of your own land surrounded by the water of Värmdö's inner archipelago, roughly 35 kilometers east of Stockholm's city center. The island itself does a lot of the heavy lifting. Sandy beaches to the north and south — proper sand, not the pebbly disappointment you get elsewhere — give way to wide slabs of smooth granite that hold the afternoon sun long after five o'clock. Swedish summers are short and fiercely lived, and this island is set up for exactly that: the west-facing jetty deck is big enough for a proper outdoor dining table, a couple of sun loungers, and still leaves room to move. Sunsets here hit the water directly. Every evening in June and July, when the sky goes amber and the reflections stretch across the fjord, you'll understand why people pay any price for this view. Getting here is easier than it sounds. Evlinge on the mainland is the departure point — a short, uncomplicated boat trip even if you're new to navigating these waters. Multiple jetties wrap around the island, so docking is never a scramble regardless of wind direction. Day trippers and experienced sailors have both managed it first try. Stockholm's Slussen takes around 40 minutes by car to re ... click here to read more

Main cottage and jetty deck

The sun drops low over the water at around nine in the evening in July, and from the west-facing terrace here at Bredstäk, that light turns the whole surface of the lake into hammered copper. You are holding a glass of something cold. The apple orchard behind you is humming with bees. This is what a Tuesday evening looks like at this 1909 country house on Lisö, and once you have stood on that terrace even once, the idea of not owning it becomes genuinely difficult to live with. Lisö sits within Nynäshamn Municipality, about 60 kilometres south of Stockholm — close enough to reach by car in under an hour, far enough that the city feels like a different planet. The island sits in the outer Stockholm archipelago, that extraordinary stretch of more than 30,000 islands and skerries that defines the Swedish coastline here. Most visitors to Sweden never get this far south into the archipelago. The ones who do tend to start looking at real estate. The house itself was built in 1909 and it carries that age well. Wooden floors that creak just slightly underfoot. Traditional single-pane windows framed in white that rattle softly in a November wind. A kitchen fireplace that has been warming people through Swedish winters for over a century. None of this has been ripped out and replaced with something generic — the character is intact, and that matters. At 80 square metres across two storeys, the layout is compact but genuinely livable. Downstairs you get the country kitchen — large enough for a proper farmhouse table, with that fireplace as its centrepiece — a living room with a cast-iron wood-burning stove, and a fully tiled bathroom with shower. Upstairs, two bedrooms sit under the eaves with views over the meadows and the water ... click here to read more

Lakefront view of the house

Picture yourself waking to the gentle lap of water against your private jetty, sunlight streaming through 300-year-old windows, the scent of pine and sea salt drifting on the morning breeze. This is life on Norra Finnö, where your 40-square-meter country home sits surrounded by the pristine waters of Sweden's Östergötland archipelago, a landscape so serene it feels like stepping into a watercolor painting. This rare waterfront retreat offers something increasingly precious: genuine solitude combined with island community, where neighbors arrive by boat and summer evenings stretch endlessly under the midnight sun. For those seeking a vacation home that delivers authentic Swedish coastal living, this property represents an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of archipelago history while creating your own vision of Nordic paradise. The main house dates to the 1700s, carrying centuries of stories within its timber frame. Currently undergoing renovation, this property invites you to complete the transformation according to your personal taste, making it truly yours from the start. The sleeping loft creates an intimate sanctuary under the eaves, while the open-plan living area maximizes natural light and water views. Large windows frame constantly changing vistas: morning mist rising off calm waters, afternoon sunshine dancing on gentle waves, evening skies painted in shades of amber and rose. The unfinished state means you control finishes, fixtures, and final touches, potentially managing costs while ensuring every detail reflects your style. This flexibility particularly appeals to international buyers who want their Swedish retreat customized for year-round comfort or optimized for summer rental income. The accompanying ... click here to read more

Main house and waterfront view

Picture yourself stepping onto a sun-warmed glass veranda, coffee in hand, as the morning light dances across Bråviken Bay. The scent of pine drifts through the garden where ancient trees frame your 3,730-square-meter private sanctuary. This is life at your Swedish vacation home in Kolmården, where a 1909 historic summer house becomes your gateway to authentic Scandinavian living, just minutes from Sweden's eastern archipelago coastline. This 106-square-meter country home represents something increasingly rare in modern Sweden: a property that has evolved gracefully through time while maintaining its soul. Built in the early 20th century when Kolmården was emerging as a summer retreat for those seeking escape from urban life, the house carries the architectural signatures of its era. Original wooden floors bear the gentle patina of generations, high ceilings create breathing room that modern construction rarely achieves, and a traditional tiled stove stands as both functional heating and historical centerpiece. The southwestern orientation floods rooms with natural light from midday through golden hour, while those same windows frame views across Bråviken that shift with seasons and weather. The northern shore of Bråviken offers something special to vacation home owners: a microclimate where the bay moderates temperatures, extending pleasant outdoor seasons at both ends. Spring arrives earlier here as the water retains winter cold less stubbornly than inland areas. Summer stretches long and luminous, with white nights in June creating almost surreal twilight hours when dinner on the veranda extends seamlessly into late-evening garden strolls. Autumn brings spectacular foliage as deciduous trees transform the surroundin ... click here to read more

Picture yourself standing on your private 3,500-square-meter mountain plot as the first winter snow blankets the birch forests of Härjedalen, smoke curling from your cabin's chimney while cross-country ski trails glisten just beyond your property line. This is the reality awaiting you at this secluded mountain retreat in Bruksvallarna, where the silence is broken only by the occasional call of mountain birds and the distant laughter of families enjoying Sweden's legendary outdoor lifestyle. Welcome to a place where every season brings new adventures, and where the Swedish concept of 'friluftsliv'—the philosophy of finding freedom and spiritual connection in nature—becomes your daily experience. Nestled on the slopes above Bruksvallarna at 870 meters elevation, this 60-square-meter country home occupies one of the most enviable positions in Härjedalen's mountain landscape. The 3,500-square-meter plot provides a buffer of privacy rarely found in developed ski areas, positioning you far enough from neighbors to guarantee near-complete solitude, yet just 1.5 kilometers from Bruksvallarna's ski stadium, grocery store, and mountain restaurants. This balance between seclusion and accessibility defines the property's unique appeal for vacation homeowners seeking authentic mountain experiences without sacrificing convenience. The main cabin embraces traditional Swedish mountain architecture while delivering modern comfort across two bedrooms and thoughtfully designed living spaces. The open-plan living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, with an authentic open fireplace serving as the social heart of the home. After days spent exploring the Ramundberget massif or skiing the groomed trails that pass within 300 meters of your ... click here to read more

Picture yourself sipping morning coffee on a sun-warmed deck as horses graze peacefully in the meadow beyond your heated pool, the early light catching the mist rising from the surrounding pastures of southern Sweden. This is life at Englagård, a meticulously maintained 1909 country estate where equestrian passion meets Scandinavian wellness living, just minutes from Kristianstad's vibrant town center. Here, in the rolling countryside of Skåne, you'll discover a vacation home that transforms weekends into retreats and holidays into unforgettable Swedish experiences. The air carries the scent of pine and wildflowers, the silence broken only by birdsong and the contented sounds of horses in their paddocks. This is the Swedish countryside at its most authentic – accessible, unspoiled, and ready to become your Nordic sanctuary. Englagård offers something increasingly rare in today's vacation home market: a fully operational equestrian property combined with resort-quality wellness amenities, all wrapped in 2.3 hectares of pristine Swedish landscape. The 183-square-meter main residence showcases over a century of careful stewardship, with recent renovations honoring the home's heritage while introducing contemporary comfort. Four generous bedrooms provide space for family gatherings or hosting fellow horse enthusiasts, while two well-appointed bathrooms serve the household with Scandinavian efficiency. Throughout the home, large windows frame views that change with the seasons – from spring's explosion of wildflowers to winter's crystalline snow blankets, each season brings its own Nordic magic. The heart of this property beats outdoors, where a substantial wooden deck connects the heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, and dedicat ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping onto a wide terrace as morning mist rises from pastures stretching to the forest edge, coffee in hand, watching horses graze peacefully below. This is the daily rhythm awaiting at your 15-hectare Swedish country estate, just 17 minutes from Norrtälje's coastal charm and 90 minutes from Stockholm's international airport. Here in Söderbykarl, countryside tranquility meets practical accessibility, creating the ideal setting for a European vacation home that balances escape with convenience. This historic property centers around a 1909 villa spanning 150 square meters, where turn-of-the-century craftsmanship meets contemporary updates completed in 2023/2024. Fresh exterior paneling and new windows ensure energy efficiency while preserving period character. Four bedrooms accommodate extended family gatherings, while the well-equipped kitchen becomes the heart of vacation living where farm-fresh ingredients transform into memorable meals. The southwest-facing terrace captures afternoon sun and sunset views across your private domain, perfect for summer barbecues or autumn evening gatherings wrapped in blankets. The second 60-square-meter residence adds remarkable versatility to this vacation property investment. International owners find this configuration particularly valuable: accommodate multiple families traveling together, create rental income during months you're not in residence, or provide private quarters for a property caretaker. Swedish vacation rental demand remains strong, with countryside properties near Stockholm attracting both domestic and international guests seeking authentic rural experiences. Sweden's Stockholm Archipelago region offers vacation experiences across all four dist ... click here to read more

Main house and estate view

Picture yourself stepping through the wooden gate of your own Swedish country estate, where morning light filters through century-old trees and the scent of salt air drifts in from beaches just minutes away. This 296-square-meter farmstead in Runsten, dating to 1886, offers something increasingly rare: authentic Öland island living with room to breathe, create, and build lasting family memories. Imagine summer evenings on your private 3,915-square-meter grounds, fall harvests from your own gardens, and winters by the fireplace in a home that has sheltered generations before you. This is your opportunity to own a piece of Swedish heritage while enjoying the freedom and space that defines the vacation home dream. The main manor house stands as a testament to traditional Öland craftsmanship, with its wooden facades weathered to a silvery patina that speaks of island storms and summer sunshine. Nine rooms flow naturally across the generous floorplan, each space designed for the unhurried rhythm of country life. Original wooden floors creak comfortably underfoot, a reminder that this home has stories to tell. Exposed ceiling beams frame rooms where natural light pours through oversized windows, illuminating interiors that balance period character with contemporary comfort. The traditional fireplace becomes your gathering point on cool Baltic evenings, while the updated kitchen invites you to prepare meals using produce from Öland's famous farms and markets. Your mornings might begin with coffee on the terrace, watching mist lift from the fields. Afternoons could be spent in the garden, tending vegetables or simply reading beneath the mature trees that provide natural shade and privacy. The separate guest house transforms this ... click here to read more

Blentarp's community, though small, is vibrant and culturally rich, hosting seasonal festivals that bring the entire town together. You'll find neighbors who are always ready with a friendly smile or a dumpling recipe. The climate here is typically Scandinavian, with warm summers perfect for exploring the local landscape and crisp, snowy winters that transform Blentarp into a winter wonderland. Autumn paints the forests with hues of gold and amber, an ideal backdrop for long, contemplative walks. With easy access to Malmö and Lund, you're never too far from bigger city conveniences.

11 room Farmhouse on Herrebergavägen 22-14 Sjöbo municipality

Early on a September morning, the mist sits low over the fields stretching out beyond the kitchen window, and the only sound is birdsong. The coffee is brewing, the greenhouse needs checking, and today's only real decision is whether to cycle down toward Sjöbo or take the car out to the Österlen coast. That is the kind of morning this property deals in, every single day. Set on an elevated plot along Lilla Röddevägen in Blentarp, this is a proper Swedish landsted — a 350-square-metre country home built in 1989 that has been kept in genuine good condition, with enough space to accommodate an extended family, a rotating cast of friends, and still find a quiet corner to yourself. Two residential units, nine rooms in total, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double garage, and 4,821 square metres of land that includes a greenhouse, manicured hedges, open lawns, and unbroken views across rolling Skåne farmland. It is the kind of property that rarely appears on the market in this part of southern Sweden, and when it does, it doesn't stay there long. Inside, the bones of the house are what you notice first. Exposed wooden beams overhead, wide plank floors underfoot, white plastered walls that catch afternoon light in a way that painted drywall simply never does. The open fireplace in the living area — fitted with built-in log storage — is not decorative. It works, it draws well, and by November you will understand exactly why the previous owners installed it. The living room and kitchen flow into each other naturally, the large windows doing the work of framing whatever the season is showing off outside: bright green barley in June, frost-dusted fields in February, the strange amber light of a Skåne October that painters have be ... click here to read more

Picture this: a slow Sunday morning, coffee in hand, south-facing deck soaking up the kind of Scandinavian summer light that seems to last forever. The fields behind the garden are dead quiet except for a distant tractor and the occasional gust off the Öresund. That's the rhythm of life at Ängagårdsvägen 33 in Beddingestrand — unhurried, grounded, and exactly what a second home in southern Sweden should feel like. Built in 1945 and thoughtfully extended over the decades, this 62-square-metre cottage carries the kind of character that only comes with time. It's not overworked or over-renovated. The bones are solid, the layout is smart, and the result is a home that feels genuinely lived-in — in the best possible sense. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen with a proper dining nook, and a living room with large windows that pull in the surrounding greenery like a living painting. For a coastal holiday home in Skåne, this is a sweet spot: compact enough to lock up and leave without stress, spacious enough to host a small group of friends or spend a full summer season with family. The deck is where this property really delivers. South and west-facing, it stretches wide enough for a proper outdoor table, a few loungers, and the kind of lazy afternoon that stretches past dinner. In late June and July, the sun doesn't quit until well after 9pm here, and you'll feel every minute of it out on that wooden platform. The garden itself — 400 square metres — borders open farmland on one side and a small woodland grove on the other. Maintenance is genuinely low. No elaborate landscaping to manage from afar, just grass, air, and a natural screen that keeps things private.

4 room vacation home on Traststigen 12

Stand in the entrance hall of this 1909 vicarage on a still October morning and you'll hear absolutely nothing except the wind moving through the old oak trees outside and the occasional creak of timber that has settled over more than a century of Scanian winters. That quiet is not emptiness — it's the kind of deep, deliberate stillness that most people drive hours to find and rarely do. This is Grönbyvägen 87-0, set in the medieval village of Grönby in Trelleborg Municipality, southern Sweden. The property served as the official vicar's residence for this parish until 1925, and before that it was the social and spiritual anchor of a community whose church dates to the 12th century. Local historians note that King Charles XII passed through this very village in 1715 on his march through Skåne — a detail that feels less like trivia and more like texture when you're standing in rooms that were already old by then. As a vacation home, second home, or permanent residence in southern Sweden, few properties carry this kind of layered story. The main house was built in 1909 and spans a generous 360 square meters across 10 rooms, six of which function as bedrooms. The architecture is classic late-Swedish rural institutional — broad, confident proportions, high ceilings that make every room feel unhurried, and large windows that pull in the flat, luminous light that Skåne does better than anywhere else in the country. Original woodwork runs throughout: door frames with their painted profiles still intact, decorative moldings that speak to a time when craftsmen took their time, and fireplaces that anchor the main reception rooms with genuine warmth. This isn't a restoration project dressed up as a period home. The bones are real ... click here to read more
