Description

Welcome to Smedstorp Katrinelund, a captivating retreat nestled in the serene landscapes of Björkvik, Katrineholms kommun, Sweden. This property is not just a house; it's a gateway to a lifestyle steeped in history, creativity, and the tranquil beauty of the Swedish countryside. Perfectly suited for those seeking a second home or a holiday escape, this residence offers a harmonious blend of traditional charm and modern comforts.

Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of leaves and the soft chirping of birds, with the morning sun casting a warm glow over the lush greenery that surrounds your home. This is the daily reality at Smedstorp Katrinelund, where the pace of life slows down, allowing you to savor each moment.

A Home with a Story

The property comprises two distinct yet complementary structures: a historical 18th-century cottage and a main residence built in 2015. The main house, designed in the classic Swedish cottage style, honors the architectural heritage of the region while incorporating contemporary amenities. With a generous ceiling height of 2.7 meters, the space feels open and inviting, perfect for both relaxation and creativity.

Artistic Inspiration

The heart of the home is the spacious living room, currently serving as an artist's studio. Here, large windows flood the space with natural light, creating an inspiring environment for painting, sculpting, or simply enjoying the view. Adjacent to the living room, the kitchen is a nod to the property's rustic roots, featuring wooden cabinetry and ample workspace for culinary adventures.

Flexible Living Spaces

The upper floor of the main house is a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a loft-style bedroom with a view overlooking the living room. This space offers endless possibilities for personalization, allowing you to create a unique living arrangement that suits your lifestyle.

Charming Cottage

The original cottage exudes character, with a welcoming hallway, a tranquil bedroom, and a country-style kitchen complete with a wood-burning stove. This stove not only provides warmth but also evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of simpler times.

Expansive Grounds

The property spans 1,677 square meters, offering a harmonious blend of manicured lawns, mature trees, and natural landscaping. A winter-insulated guest cabin, a storage building, a woodshed, and a workshop are also part of the estate, providing ample space for hobbies and storage.

A Lifestyle of Tranquility and Adventure

Living in Björkvik means embracing the changing seasons and the outdoor activities they bring. From gardening in the spring to enjoying the vibrant autumn foliage, each season offers its own unique charm. The proximity to Lake Yngaren, just 2.3 kilometers away, adds to the allure, offering opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating.

Community and Convenience

While the property offers a peaceful retreat, the nearby town of Katrineholm provides all necessary amenities, including shops, schools, healthcare, and cultural attractions. The region of Södermanland is renowned for its scenic beauty, historic estates, and vibrant community life. Excellent transport links ensure that you are never far from urban conveniences, with Stockholm and other major cities easily accessible.

Investment Potential

As a second home, Smedstorp Katrinelund offers not only a personal sanctuary but also a promising investment opportunity. The demand for holiday homes in Sweden continues to grow, making this property a wise choice for those looking to invest in the European second home market.

The first thing you notice on a Saturday morning is the silence. Not the absence of sound exactly — there's a wood pigeon somewhere in the birch trees, and from the kitchen the smell of coffee curling through a window cracked open just enough — but the particular quality of quiet that belongs to Östergötland's countryside. It's the kind of place that reminds you why people used to fight over land this good. This 1909 farmhouse in Klockrike has been thoughtfully brought into the 21st century without anyone stripping out what made it worth saving in the first place. The bones are original. The updates are real. And the plot — 3,284 square meters of garden, mature trees, and open sky — gives the whole thing a sense of scale that you simply don't find in the city. Step through the entrance hall added in 2019 and you're in a home that's had serious thought put into how people actually live. The ground floor living room has an open fireplace that becomes the undisputed center of family life from October to April. Slide open the door from there and you're on a 40-square-meter wooden deck with a spa bath sitting right in the middle of it. On a clear evening in July, with the garden going gold in late light and the temperature still warm enough to stay outside well past nine, that deck earns its keep in ways that no interior room ever could. The kitchen was renovated in 2017 and 2018 and it makes an interesting choice: a traditional wood-burning stove alongside a modern gas hob. That's not an accident. Whoever designed this kitchen understood that cooking on wood is a completely different rhythm than cooking on gas, and some meals just call for it — a slow ragout on a November afternoon, bread that gets its crust from radiant ... click here to read more

Step off the dock on a Tuesday morning in July, coffee in hand, and watch the mist lift off the water between the pine-covered islands. That's Gryt. Not a postcard version of it—the real thing. The kind of place where the archipelago doesn't perform for tourists; it just exists, quietly and completely, and you get to be part of it. Eknäsvägen 10 sits in the Gryt archipelago within Valdemarsviks kommun, one of the lesser-known gems of Sweden's east coast. Lesser-known is the point. While the Stockholm and Gothenburg archipelagos draw the crowds, Gryt draws the people who actually want to use the water—to fish, sail, kayak, or just sit on a rock and let the silence do its work. The house is winterized and built to year-round standard, which means this isn't a summer-only proposition. You can be here in February when the snow sits on the jetty and the light turns the whole bay silver. The seasons here are genuinely different from one another, and owning a home that can hold all four of them is something special. The house itself was built in 1986 and covers 70 square meters across a thoughtful layout: two bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room with space to breathe, and a fourth room that the current owners use flexibly—it works as a guest room, a reading nook, a workspace, whatever the week demands. The large windows throughout pull the landscape inside. On a clear day, the light off the water bounces around the living room in a way that no interior designer could manufacture. There's a fireplace, and on an October evening with the birch trees turning outside, you'll understand exactly why that matters. The kitchen is functional and well-equipped—not a showroom, but a room where you actually cook. In summer, that means fre ... click here to read more

On a quiet Tuesday morning in early October, you crack open the kitchen window and the smell hits you first — wet grass, wood smoke from somewhere nearby, and that particular clean-cold edge that Swedish autumn air carries before the frost sets in. The fields stretching out beyond the garden are turning gold. A crow lands on the fence post. Nothing else moves. This is Bjäraryd, and once you've spent a week here, the city starts to feel like the foreign place. The house at Bjärarydsvägen 684 was built in 1909, and it carries that age in the best possible way. Not in a tired, creaking-floorboards sense — it's been genuinely updated and is ready to walk into — but in the way that old Swedish country homes hold their shape. The walls are thick. The proportions feel considered. There's a solidity here that you just don't get in anything built after 1980. Step into the living room and the first thing you'll notice is the ceiling. Vaulted, clad in wood, it opens the room up in a way that makes the 67 square metres feel considerably more generous than the number suggests. An exposed brick wall anchors one side of the space, and a wood-burning stove sits against it — the kind you actually use, not for show. Come January, when the temperature outside drops to minus ten and the fields are white, that stove becomes the centre of the entire house. A spiral staircase winds up to a loft above, practical for storage or a reading nook, and skylights push daylight down into the room from above. In midsummer, with the sun barely setting before it rises again, the light in here at 10pm is genuinely something. The kitchen keeps things honest — white cabinetry, dark tiled floor, clean lines, open to the dining area so that whoever's cookin ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in October, the birch trees outside the window have gone full amber, and you're standing at the kitchen counter with a mug of coffee, listening to absolutely nothing except wind moving through the pines. That's the specific kind of quiet this place delivers. Not the performative quiet of a spa hotel, but the real thing — a 1,140-square-metre plot on Ferievägen in Björkliden, surrounded by the kind of southern Swedish forest that smells like rain and resin and green things. Björkliden sits within Örkelljunga municipality in northern Skåne, a part of Sweden that most international visitors skip entirely in favor of Malmö or Copenhagen — which is precisely why it still feels genuinely unhurried. The roads here are narrow and tree-lined. Neighbors wave. The local ICA in Örkelljunga town center, a 10-minute drive away, stocks cloudberry jam and knäckebröd alongside the everyday essentials. There's a certain rhythm to life out here that you start to feel within the first afternoon. The house itself was built in 1969 and carries that era's honest, no-frills construction — solid timber frame, low-pitched roof, windows that sit wide and low to pull in the landscape. At 65 square metres of living space with an additional 18 square metres of auxiliary area, it's compact in the best possible sense: everything is within arm's reach, nothing feels excessive, and the maintenance bill stays manageable even when you're back home in Berlin or Amsterdam or Edinburgh. This is a second home that works with your life rather than demanding to be your entire focus. Step inside and the fireplace stops you immediately. It anchors the main living room — not some decorative insert, but a proper wood-burning ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home

Step outside on a Saturday morning in late June, coffee in hand, and the only sounds reaching you are birdsong, the faint rustle of wind through the birches, and the distant lap of Lake Mälaren somewhere beyond the tree line. That's the kind of quiet that takes a few days to settle into — and then becomes the thing you miss most when you leave. Ekorrstigen 5 sits in the Lövstavret-Solvik area, a pocket of rural Sweden that most people outside the region haven't heard of, which is precisely why the people who know it guard it so closely. The plot covers 1,389 square metres of elevated, wooded ground, giving the property a sense of seclusion that you simply don't find on flat, open lots. Mature gardens press in on three sides, and a green buffer zone borders the property line, meaning no one is building next door anytime soon. The main house was originally raised in 1958 — solid, unpretentious Swedish construction — then extended and reshaped by the current owners into something with considerably more personality. The additions brought open ceilings with exposed timber beams, which do two things simultaneously: they make the interior feel larger than 72 square metres on paper, and they give the living spaces that particular Nordic warmth that's hard to manufacture with new construction. Afternoon light pours through the kitchen windows and lands on the garden below. In winter, when the trees are bare, you catch glimpses of pale sky in every direction. The living room is the gravitational centre of the house. The open fireplace here — recently inspected and in full working order — is not decorative. On a cold October evening, it does real work. The larger bedroom opens directly off this space, with ceiling height that su ... click here to read more

Early July morning. You slide open the deck door and the smell hits you first — pine resin warming in the sun, a faint salt edge off the Baltic, and the particular quiet that only exists when the nearest road carries almost no traffic. A woodpecker is working somewhere in the birches beyond the lawn. The sauna is already lit. This is Djurhamn on a Tuesday, and it feels like a Saturday everywhere else. Lövsalsvägen 11 sits in one of the quieter corners of Värmdö municipality, about 45 kilometres east of central Stockholm, in the kind of spot that archipelago regulars guard jealously. Djurhamn itself is a small community tucked onto the Djurö peninsula — not the tourist-facing part of the archipelago with the ferry queues and the overpriced cinnamon rolls, but the lived-in, boat-at-the-end-of-the-garden version that Stockholmers spend years searching for. The private gated entrance from Sollenkrokavägen means the lane outside stays genuinely calm. Children cycle it unsupervised. The house dates to 1940, and it has that compact honesty that Swedish summer homes of the era were built with — no wasted space, solid construction, then carefully updated so it works as a proper year-round home rather than a seasonal retreat. At 62 square metres it's efficient, not cramped. The kitchen and dining area open directly into the living room, which is the social engine of the place. A wood-burning stove anchors that room. On grey November afternoons when the archipelago goes pewter and still, that stove earns its keep more than any other feature in the building. The windows are large enough that the garden and the stand of trees beyond it feel continuous with the interior. Step outside onto the timber deck and the plot opens up: 2,78 ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in late June, the kind where the Baltic light hits the water at a low angle and turns everything gold. You've walked four minutes from your front door, untied your boat from your own private mooring, and you're out on the Åland Sea before the rest of the world has poured its first coffee. That's not a fantasy — that's a Tuesday at Havsvägen 17. Set in Hammarskogen, a tight-knit coastal community along Roslagen's famously rugged shoreline in Norrtälje municipality, this three-bedroom holiday home sits on a genuinely generous 2,003 square metre plot. It's the kind of property that feels increasingly rare along this stretch of the Swedish coast: fully winterized, move-in ready, with its own guest house, a terrace that runs almost the full length of the building, and direct access to a shared marina where your boat mooring comes with the house. Not rented. Not shared. Yours. The main house, built in 1991 and maintained in solid condition throughout, is laid out on a single level — practical for families with young kids or guests who don't want to navigate a Swedish staircase at midnight. Step inside and you get a welcoming hallway, three proper bedrooms, and a bathroom done in a clean, unfussy colour palette that doesn't scream "1990s summer cabin." The open kitchen and living room flow into each other in a way that makes the 74 square metres feel lived-in rather than cramped. On long evenings when you've pulled mackerel or perch from the water and want to cook while still being in the conversation, this layout earns its keep. What sets this property apart from the average Roslagen stuga is the infrastructure. Air-source heat pump. Vacuum toilet connected to the community sewage system ... click here to read more

The wood-burning stove is already crackling by the time you pull off your ski boots. Outside the south-facing terrace windows, the last of the afternoon light turns the Funäsdalen peaks a deep copper-rose. This is a Tuesday in January, and it feels nothing like ordinary life. Slalomvägen 8 sits on the Baggården ridge in Messlingen, a small community folded into Härjedalen's high country — one of Sweden's least-crowded and most underrated mountain districts. The cabin occupies a generous 1,716 square metres of natural plot, elevated just enough above the surrounding terrain that the view over the lake and the range beyond it is wide open and unobstructed. You don't have to look for the scenery here. It finds you. The log structure itself has been renovated with real care. That word gets thrown around a lot in property listings, but you'll see the difference the moment you walk in. The work was done to preserve the character of the original building — the warm tones of the timber, the low ceilings that make rooms feel like they're actually holding you — while adding a kitchen and bathroom that don't require apology. Three bedrooms sleep a family comfortably, or a group of friends who don't mind being cosy. The bathroom has a proper shower. The kitchen has counter space and a sensible layout, which matters more than it sounds when you're feeding six people after a full day on the trails. The living room is the heart of it. Open plan, connected to the kitchen, with the stove sitting in the corner like it owns the place — which, honestly, it does. In the evenings, after dinner, this is where everyone ends up. Someone brings a bottle of something. The fire does the rest. Step through the glass doors onto the south-facing t ... click here to read more

You wake up to the sound of nothing. Not the traffic kind of nothing, but the real kind — a woodpecker somewhere deep in the pines, water lapping at the shore fifty meters down the slope, and the faint creak of the house settling in the morning air. You put the coffee on in the kitchen, glance through the wide window at the lake below, and wonder, not for the first time, why it took you so long to find this place. Götuddevägen 39 sits on a generous 2,396-square-meter plot on the edge of Göten, a small lakeside community tucked into the heart of Östergötland County in central Sweden. It's the kind of address that doesn't come up often — elevated, private, with an uninterrupted water view and no neighbors close enough to interrupt the quiet. The main house, 58 square meters built in 1993, is compact but genuinely livable. Large windows pull the lake view right into the living room, so even on a grey November afternoon you feel connected to the landscape outside. The kitchen is practical without being spartan. The bedroom handles a double bed with room to spare. Everything works, everything is maintained, and nothing demands immediate attention — this is move-in ready, not a project. What makes the property genuinely unusual is the second residential building on the same plot. This isn't a garden shed. It's a proper additional structure with real utility — guest accommodation for summer visitors, a workspace for anyone who takes remote work seriously, or a hobby studio that keeps the mess out of the main house. And there's a guest cottage beyond that. Three separate structures, one plot, one price. That kind of flexibility in a rural Swedish setting at this price point is rare enough to stop and pay attention. The plot i ... click here to read more

Step off the dock at six in the morning, coffee in hand, and watch the mist lift off the water. That's a Tuesday in Vätö. The Stockholm archipelago has a way of recalibrating your sense of time, and this two-bedroom house on Gösens väg 7 sits right at the heart of it — quiet cul-de-sac, mature pines, 2,128 square meters of your own land, and a boat berth included. It's the kind of setup that makes you wonder why you ever waited. Vätö is one of those islands that Stockholmers talk about among themselves but rarely broadcast widely. Part of Norrtälje municipality, roughly 90 minutes north of the city by car via the E18 and Route 76, it sits in the northern reaches of the Upplandskusten archipelago — a region of granite outcrops, glassy inlets, and fishing villages where the pace of life is genuinely different. Not postcard-different. Actually different. The ferry from Simpnäs runs regularly, and that short crossing over the water has a way of drawing a clean line between your city life and your island life. The house itself was built in 1973 and has been kept in solid condition by its current owners. Sixty-three square meters of main living space, which sounds compact until you step inside and realize how efficiently it's been laid out. The living room pulls in natural light through large windows — on summer mornings the effect is almost theatrical, the sun cutting across the wooden floor before the day gets going. The kitchen is functional and properly equipped, arranged so that whoever's cooking doesn't end up isolated from the rest of the room. That matters when you've got friends coming up from the city for midsommar and everyone gravitates toward the kitchen anyway. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and quiet, tu ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and you're standing barefoot on the covered patio at Vreta 17, coffee in hand, watching the midsummer light filter through birch leaves so green they almost hurt to look at. The garden smells of damp earth and wild strawberries. Somewhere across the field, a cuckoo is at it again. You're fifty minutes from Stockholm, but you might as well be on another planet. That's the daily reality of owning this two-bedroom house in Hölö — a small, quietly compelling village in Södertälje municipality, south of the capital. This isn't a property that screams for attention. It earns it slowly, the way good places do. The house was built in 1972 and sits on a generous 2,730 square meters of land. Eighty-two square meters of living space doesn't sound massive on paper, but the layout is thoughtful enough that nothing feels squeezed. You walk in through what's currently used as a dining room — a flexible space that could just as naturally become an entry hall or a quiet work-from-wherever corner. The kitchen follows: wooden cabinet fronts, the smell of old pine, a stove and oven setup that handles everything from quick pasta to a slow Sunday baking session. The extractor fan hums. Bread rises on the counter. It works the way a kitchen should. The living room is the heart of this place, and the fireplace is the heart of the living room. Come October, when the birches outside turn amber and the nights close in fast, that fire becomes less of a feature and more of a necessity. Pull a chair close, crack a book, let the logs do their thing. A wooden staircase off the main room climbs up to a loft — not a grand space, but a genuinely useful one. An extra bed for a visiting friend, a readin ... click here to read more

Step off the wooden porch on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the air already smells like pine resin and warm grass. The lake is a three-minute walk down Kallbodavägen — you can hear the kids from the bathing area before you even see the water through the treeline. That's the daily rhythm at this winterized holiday home in Gåsvik, a quiet corner of Väddö island that most Stockholmers haven't found yet, and the ones who have are fiercely reluctant to share. Väddö sits in the outer reaches of the Roslagen archipelago, roughly 100 kilometers north of Stockholm. The drive up from the city via the E18 and Route 76 takes about 90 minutes — close enough for a Friday-evening escape, far enough that the pace of life genuinely changes the moment you cross the Edeboleden bridge onto the island. This isn't the showy part of the Swedish coast. No boutique hotels, no Instagram crowds. Just dense spruce forest, winding gravel roads, and a shoreline that shifts between sandy lake beaches and the skerry-dotted Baltic coast depending on which direction you point your bicycle. The house itself sits on Kallbodavägen 11, on a 2,130-square-meter lot that gives you room to breathe in a way that most Swedish summer cottages simply don't. Built in 1986 and kept in good condition throughout, the 50-square-meter main building is compact but genuinely functional — the kind of floor plan where nothing is wasted. Large windows in the living room pull in southern light through most of the day, and in winter, when the garden turns white and the birches drop their leaves, the same windows frame a view that looks like a still from an Ingmar Bergman film. The fireplace does real work here from October through April, and it does it well. Two bedrooms ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday evening in late July, the kind where the sky over Norrtälje doesn't fully darken until well past ten. You've spent the afternoon swimming at Vattudalens beach, ten minutes on foot through the birch trees. Now you're sitting on the rocky outcrop at the back of the garden, a glass of something cold in hand, listening to absolutely nothing except wind through pine branches and the occasional splash from next door's dock. This is what Lännavägen 332 actually feels like to own. The house itself was built in 1966 and sits on a generous plot of 2,862 square meters — an uncommon amount of breathing room for this part of Norrtälje municipality. At 65 square meters of living space, the main house is compact but genuinely functional. Two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and one bathroom. Nothing oversized, nothing wasted. The kind of layout that Swedes have been getting right for decades: enough room for family life, small enough that someone who uses the place seasonally isn't drowning in upkeep. What sets this property apart isn't the square footage — it's the compound feel. A separate guest house sits on the plot, entirely independent from the main building. That means you can have your parents or a couple of friends staying without anyone compromising anyone else's routine. The guest house doubles well as a home office, a painting studio, or a teenage bolthole, depending on what phase of life you're in when you buy it. Then there's the sauna. Wood-fired, with a shower, and positioned far enough from the main house to feel like its own ritual. In Sweden, the sauna isn't an amenity — it's a social institution. You fire it up before dinner, not after. Guests arrive, everyone takes turns, conversa ... click here to read more

Main house and garden

Stand at the kitchen window on a Tuesday morning in late June, coffee in hand, and watch the light hit the water somewhere between Svanesund and the open Skagerrak. It doesn't get old. That particular shade of silver-blue the Swedish west coast does in the early hours — before the motorboats start crossing, before anyone's really awake — it's the kind of thing people drive four hours from Gothenburg or Stockholm to see, and here it's just the view from your kitchen. Kastet 711 sits on Stillingsön, a small island on Orust's northern edge connected by bridge to the mainland. Orust itself is Sweden's third-largest island, and the stretch of coast up here around Svanesund has stayed quieter than the more tourist-saturated southern parts. No souvenir shops. No queues for ice cream. Just saltwater, granite, and the particular rhythm of Swedish archipelago life — which, once you've experienced it, is genuinely hard to give up. The house is compact and honest. Built in 1957, it sits high on its plot with that unobstructed sea view as the architectural centrepiece. The single-level living space — 58 square metres — runs kitchen into dining into living room in a layout that always keeps you oriented toward the water. Big windows. Light in summer that goes on until 10 or 11 at night. The bedroom is quietly tucked away from the social end of the house, which matters more than people realise when you're hosting. One bathroom. Everything you need, nothing unnecessary. The basement level adds serious practical value: proper storage for kayaks, wetsuits, crab pots, bicycles, all the gear that accumulates when you actually use a place rather than just admire it. Some owners use it as a workshop. Others have set it up as a basic hobby r ... click here to read more

Close your eyes and picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in late June. You've just made coffee and you're carrying it out to the south-facing terrace in bare feet, the wooden planks still cool beneath you. The air smells faintly of salt and pine resin. Somewhere down the hill, past the juniper scrub, there's a swimming cove where the water goes from translucent green to deep blue about twenty metres from shore. You're not in a rush. You don't have to be. That's the daily reality of owning a holiday home on Mjörn, the small island off the western edge of Tjörn in Bohuslän—Sweden's most beloved stretch of coastline, and arguably the least hyped. While Marstrand draws the sailing crowds and Gothenburg pulls the weekend breakers, this corner of Tjörns kommun stays quiet on purpose. The roads narrow to single tracks between pink granite outcrops. Neighbours wave when they drive past. The pace here is genuinely slow, not performatively so. This two-bedroom house at Trankoket 51 sits on 778 square metres of its own land, tucked into the rocky, heather-covered landscape that defines the archipelago's interior. Built in 1996 by the current owners, the place has aged the way good Swedish summer houses do: honestly. Solid construction, maintained with real care, no shortcuts. At 65 square metres of living space across the main floor, it's compact and considered—every room earns its keep. The kind of house where you quickly figure out what you actually need and realise it isn't much. Step inside and the layout makes immediate sense. A welcoming hallway leads into a bright living room that opens directly onto the terrace—so in summer the boundary between inside and outside becomes almost theoretical. You'll eat breakfast out there ... click here to read more

Early on a July morning, the light in central Sweden does something you don't expect the first time you see it. By six o'clock it's already golden, cutting through the birch trees at the edge of the garden and landing flat across the water. From the terrace at Sättervägen 33, with coffee in hand and not another soul in sight, Lake Tisaren sits just a few hundred meters away — glassy, quiet, entirely yours to walk to whenever you feel like it. That's the daily reality of this place. This is a two-bedroom, single-story house in Tisarstrand, a small lakeside community within Hallsbergs kommun in Örebro County. At 88 square meters, it's compact enough to be genuinely low-maintenance, but the 2,592-square-meter garden around it gives the whole property a sense of scale and openness that the square footage alone doesn't capture. You're not living on top of your neighbors here. You've got space to breathe. The house dates from 1960 and has been well cared for. The single-story layout is practical in the Swedish countryside way — no stairs, no wasted space, everything where you need it. Three rooms and a kitchen arranged sensibly, with a living area that draws in natural light through generous windows facing the garden. In summer, the greenery outside those windows is so close and so dense it shifts the whole color of the room. In winter, you can watch snow accumulate on the birch branches without leaving the couch. The kitchen is functional and honest — good worktop space, adequate storage, and a layout that makes it easy to cook a proper meal after a day out on the lake. It connects naturally to the living and dining areas, which matters when you have friends staying and everyone gravitates toward food. The two bedrooms are ... click here to read more

Step out onto the dock at six in the morning, coffee in hand, and the Gulf of Bothnia is completely yours. The water is glass-flat, the sky already pale gold — this far north in summer, the sun barely bothers to set — and your boat bobs quietly against the jetty planks. That's Frevisören 138 on a Tuesday in July. Nothing extraordinary about it. Just another morning that feels like a gift. Positioned front-row on the water in Frevisören, a small coastal settlement that sits within the broader Kalix archipelago along Sweden's northeastern shoreline, this two-bedroom holiday home is the kind of place that Swedish families pass down through generations. When one comes to market, people notice. The 1,476-square-meter lot drops straight to the sea, and the private jetty — a genuine working dock, not a decorative platform — gives you immediate, no-fuss access to some of the most rewarding boating waters in northern Sweden. You can be out among the islands within minutes of leaving the house. The main house, 55 square meters built in 1963 and thoughtfully updated since, doesn't try to be something it isn't. It's a proper Swedish summer house — compact, well-organized, bright. Large windows in the living room pull the sea view inside, so even when you're on the sofa reading, you're aware of the water shifting and glinting outside. The kitchen is modern and practical: good storage, enough counter space, and a layout that actually works when you're frying fresh perch and someone else is making salad at the same time. The dining area sits just off the kitchen and looks out over the lot and the waterfront beyond. Meals there have a tendency to last longer than planned. Both bedrooms are quiet and comfortable — enough room for a pr ... click here to read more

Waterfront view and main house

The first morning you wake up here, the sound you hear isn't traffic or neighbours. It's the knock of a wooden boat hull against the dock, and the low call of a loon somewhere out on Lake Ljugaren. Open the window and you catch pine resin on the breeze. That's the daily opening scene at Born Sjögatan 11 — a two-bedroom holiday house in Born, a hamlet so quiet and so green that it takes roughly a day before your shoulders drop back to where they should be. Born sits about 15 minutes by car from Rättvik in the heart of Dalarna, arguably the most Swedish of all Sweden's provinces. Rättvik is the town on the southern tip of Lake Siljan that hosts Music at Lake Siljan every July — one of Scandinavia's biggest folk and classical music festivals, drawing tens of thousands of visitors to its open-air stages along the water. You're far enough from that summer buzz to sleep through it, and close enough to cycle in for an evening concert and still be back before dark. The house itself was built in 1945 and covers 60 square metres across three rooms and a kitchen. It's in good condition — not a project, not a gut renovation. The layout is tight in the best Nordic sense: nothing wasted, everything considered. Large windows face the garden and draw in long Dalarna light, the kind that in June stays golden until 10 at night and makes you push dinner later and later just to stay in it. The kitchen is practical and honest, ready to handle a midsommar feast or a simple plate of gravlax and crispbread. Below the main floor, there's a basement of around 55 square metres — currently unfinished, which is the interesting part. That space could become a proper guest bedroom and bathroom, a workshop for anyone who does woodworking or boat mai ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January evening, lid off the spa, steam rising against the dark Swedish sky, and you'll immediately understand why properties like this one at Glindran Solliden are so hard to let go of. The cold bites your cheeks while the water holds you warm, and somewhere beyond the treeline, nothing moves. Complete quiet. This is the Swedish countryside at its most honest. Built in 1952 and sitting on a 4,121-square-metre plot just outside Björkvik in Katrineholms kommun, the house has the kind of solidity you don't often find in newer builds. Thick walls, thoughtful updates, and a layout shaped by generations of practical Scandinavian living. At 122 square metres of main living space plus an additional 15 square metres of secondary area, it doesn't feel oversized or unwieldy — it feels exactly right for a family of four, or for a couple who want room to breathe. Walk in through the front door and the first thing that hits you is light. Large windows pull in the southern exposure across the main living areas, and on a clear winter afternoon the low Nordic sun throws long amber rectangles across the timber floor. The fireplace in the living room is open — a proper one, not a decorative insert — and on colder evenings it becomes the gravitational centre of the whole house. The kitchen adjoins the living space without any awkward formality. Oak cabinetry, generous worktop space, and enough storage that someone who genuinely cooks here could do so without compromise. The proportions feel generous but never cavernous. The fully glazed conservatory running off the main ground floor is genuinely one of the property's best features, and not in an abstract sense. In Sweden, shoulder-season living is everything. Mid-May w ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home

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.

3 rooms Winterized holiday home at Dovhjortstigen 4 Djurön Norrköpings kommun

Picture a Saturday morning in late June. The Swedish sun has been up since four, and by the time you pull on your jacket and step onto the wrap-around terrace with a mug of coffee, the birch forest at the edge of the garden is already doing that thing it does in Södermanland summers — throwing long gold light through the leaves while the air smells faintly of pine resin and damp earth. Lake Långhalsen is a four-minute walk down the path. Nobody else is awake yet. This is Utterspåret 11. It's a compact, honest house — 57 square meters built in 1979, maintained with genuine care, and set on a 1,620 square meter plot that gives you the kind of breathing room that's increasingly hard to find at this price point in Sweden. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen that works, and a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove that you'll use far more than you expect once October settles over Nyköping and the lake mist starts rolling in each morning. The stove isn't decorative. Come winter, it's the heart of the house. The terrace wraps the exterior and has both open and covered sections — a deliberate design that Swedes know well. You want sun in May when the temperature is still erratic. You want shade in July when it isn't. You want cover in August when the afternoon rain passes through. The terrace handles all of it, and it's large enough for a proper outdoor table, a couple of sun loungers, and whatever outdoor project you get absorbed in over a long weekend. The plot itself borders forest on one side, with no immediate neighbours on that flank. The garden is flat, open, and generous — room for a vegetable patch, a trampoline, a fire pit, a hammock between the birches. The side building currently runs as a small workshop a ... click here to read more
