Description

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 some privacy. If you ever think about hosting paying guests, two separate buildings give you flexibility, though you should check local rules and demand first.

The 2,222 m² Plot and Outbuildings



The land is a mix of natural landscape and garden, with space for children to play, a flower bed or a vegetable patch, or simply a lot of lawn between you and the neighbours. A single outbuilding holds a tool shed with electricity, an outdoor toilet and a woodshed. Useful for a place with a fireplace to feed and a garden to look after.

Boat Mooring and Access from Spillersboda



The boat mooring is 125 metres from the house, close enough to carry a fishing rod down before breakfast. You can swim from the rocks, fish, or take a boat out through the archipelago. The property also has sea views. On the mainland, the owners have access to a boat and a parking space at Spillersboda, which makes arrivals and departures easier.

Living on Stomnarö, Close to Norrtälje



Stomnarö is a quiet island of forest, sea and small-scale farmland, with fields, meadows, stone walls and pastures. It belongs to Roslagen, the coastal stretch of Uppland where Swedes have spent summers for generations. The island is known for its community and for being a place where you spend most of the day outdoors.

Norrtälje, the main town of the area, has shops, restaurants and cultural events. You can live at island pace most days and drive to town when you need supplies or a night out.

Getting There: Stockholm and Arlanda



Norrtälje is roughly an hour by road from central Stockholm, and Stockholm Arlanda Airport is the natural gateway, about 45 minutes from the town by car. That makes this a realistic second home in Sweden for international owners who want to fly in for a long weekend. Timing the final stretch from Norrtälje and the Spillersboda crossing is worth testing yourself on a viewing trip.

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

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

New

This country home for sale in Oxelösund sits about 150 metres from Vivestabadet beach, with a 27 m² guest house on a 1,343 m² plot. It is a small place and doesn't pretend otherwise: a 1947 cottage of 32 m² with one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a glazed conservatory. What makes it work is everything around those walls: the garden, the deck, the second building and the short walk down to the Baltic. At 235,000 EUR it suits a buyer who wants a base on the Södermanland coast without taking on a big house. ### The Cottage and Its Conservatory The main house dates from 1947 and has the proportions of its era: compact, practical, easy to heat and easy to keep. Inside you get a living room with large windows facing the garden, an adjoining kitchen and a bedroom. The listing describes the condition as good, and the previous owners have updated it over the years rather than leaving it frozen in the forties. The glazed conservatory is the room you will probably use most. It gives you a seat outdoors on a grey day, with a coffee and a view of the trees. Next to it is an open wooden deck, which is where the barbecue goes once the evening sun arrives. The plot is elevated, so the afternoon and evening light reaches the terrace well. ### Guest House and Garden on 1,343 m² The separate guest house measures about 27 m² and has its own shower, toilet and a small kitchenette. That changes how a 32 m² cottage lives. Friends or grandparents get their own door and bathroom, and you keep your own space. If you ever wanted to let it to holiday guests, the building is already set up for it, though you should check local rules and registration requirements before counting on rental income. The garden is well kept and framed by mat ... click here to read more

This country home for sale in Östergötland sits on 5,613 m² near Gryt, with a stable, a paddock and a boat berth about 2 km away. The house stands on a rise above open farmland, so the view from the windows runs across fields instead of neighbouring roofs. It was built in 1940, has 145 m² of living space plus about 25 m² of secondary area, and is in good condition. Two bedrooms and one bathroom keep it easy to look after, which suits a second home in Sweden as well as a year-round base. ### The House and Its 5,613 m² Plot The living room has wooden floors and is large enough to hold both a sofa corner and a dining table. The kitchen is generously sized, with plenty of worktop and storage. That makes it a real working kitchen, not just a place to boil the kettle. Upstairs you find a family room with an open fireplace, the obvious spot for dark evenings, along with the two bedrooms and the bathroom. Outside, the garden is framed by greenery and open fields. There is room for vegetables, a lawn, a fire pit or all three, and nobody is looking over the fence. ### Stable, Barn and Paddock for Horses or Small-Scale Farming This is where the property stands apart from most house for sale in Sweden listings at this price. The stable has several stalls, a tack room and good storage. Next to the house is a fenced paddock. There is also an older barn with plenty of character, which could become a workshop, a studio or simply dry storage for machinery and hay. Several more outbuildings sit on the plot. If you want more grazing or a bit of cultivation, there is the possibility to lease additional land nearby. Ask about terms and availability before you plan numbers for animals. ### Boat Berth and the Swedish Archipelago A ber ... click here to read more

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

This country home for sale in Örebro is an off-grid forest cottage on a 1,000 m² leasehold plot, with a glazed veranda and a berry garden. It is small and simple on purpose: 22 m² of living space, no electricity, no running water, and woodland all around. If you want a place where the evening is set by daylight instead of a screen, this delivers it. The condition is good, and the outbuildings you need are already on the plot. ### Country Home for Sale in Örebro: The Cottage and Its Glazed Veranda Inside, the main room is open and flexible. You decide whether it works as a sleeping corner, a dining table or a place to sit with a book. At 22 m², it rewards people who travel light and enjoy a bit of order. The glazed veranda is what makes the cottage livable for much of the year. It gives you a sheltered spot for meals and morning coffee, with the forest right there on the other side of the glass. When the weather turns, you can stay outside without really being outside. A woodshed stands on the plot, so ask the agent how the cottage is heated and what it is like in the colder months. ### The 1,000 m² Leasehold Plot and Outbuildings The garden is established and has a good selection of berry bushes. Summer and late summer mean picking your own fruit on the way to breakfast. Mature woodland surrounds the plot, which gives it privacy and a green backdrop. Four practical extras come with it. There is a woodshed for firewood, a separate storage building for tools and gear, a Separett composting toilet, and a small earth cellar for keeping food cool the traditional way. The plot is leasehold, so the land is not part of what you own. Before you commit, ask for the lease term, the annual fee and the renewal conditions, and ... click here to read more

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

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

Step outside on a January morning in Kringelfjorden and the silence hits you first. Not the absence of sound exactly, but something richer — the muffled hush of fresh snow on spruce branches, the distant crack of ice on the lake, the faint smell of woodsmoke drifting from your own chimney. That's the daily reality of owning this two-bedroom country home on Byggningvägen in Särna, where the Swedish wilderness isn't a backdrop — it's the whole point. Situated on a generous 1,125 square metre plot in Älvdalens kommun, Dalarna County, this 59-square-metre home punches well above its size. Built in 1985 and kept in good condition throughout, it was given a proper kitchen refresh in 2023. New cabinetry, quality appliances, real counter space — the kind of update that makes you actually want to cook, not just heat things up. The open layout means whoever's at the stove stays in the conversation, which matters when you've got family spread across the living area after a long day out on the trails. The living room earns its keep. Large windows frame the tree line directly, so on grey November afternoons the forest comes right into the room with you. Come July, the same view is all green and gold light until nearly midnight — Dalarna sits far enough north that summer evenings go on and on. Two bedrooms handle a family comfortably; both are quiet, with the kind of dark that actually lets you sleep. One bathroom keeps things simple. That's the whole house, and it's enough. The design is about efficiency, not excess. What makes this property genuinely interesting is everything outside the main structure. The private sauna is the social heart of the place — a proper Swedish bastu, heated with wood, where the ritual of warming up, s ... click here to read more

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

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in late June and the only sounds are a woodpecker working through a birch trunk somewhere behind the garden, and the faint lap of Lake Bolmen against the reeds a short walk down the track. No traffic. No neighbors visible. Just 2,899 square meters of your own grass, trees, and sky on one of Småland's most sought-after island retreats — and a house that was actually built for year-round living. Bolmsö is a proper island, connected to the mainland by a single bridge over Lake Bolmen, and that bridge does something psychological the moment you cross it. The pace drops. The shoulders drop with it. The lake itself is Sweden's fifth largest, stretching across parts of both Kronoberg and Jönköping counties, and Bolmsö sits right in the middle of it — surrounded by some of the clearest freshwater you'll find anywhere in southern Sweden. The house dates to 2015, which matters more than it might sound. You're not buying someone else's 1970s renovation project with surprises inside the walls. The construction meets contemporary Swedish energy standards, heating costs stay manageable through the long winters, and nothing needs urgent attention when you arrive for your first weekend. Move in, light the fireplace, open the wine. That fireplace, positioned in the open living and dining area, earns its place on every trip from October through April. The floor plan flows openly from the kitchen — centered on a practical island that makes cooking for eight people actually pleasant — through the dining space and into the sitting area without any awkward corridors breaking the momentum. Three separate doors lead directly from these living spaces out to the garden, so on warm July evenings the line betwee ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells like pine resin and lake water. The birds are loud — genuinely loud — and the light comes through the trees at that low Scandinavian angle that makes everything look like it was painted rather than real. This is Hölö, a quiet corner of Södertälje Municipality that most Stockholmers drive past on their way somewhere else. Their loss. Built in 2022, this compact country home on Stavsnäsvägen 10 is one of those rare finds that doesn't try to be more than it is. Twenty-seven square metres of carefully considered space on a 2,431 square metre private plot — that contrast tells you everything. The building is modest. The land is generous. And that balance is exactly what makes it work as a vacation home, a second home, or a weekend escape from the city. The house itself sits elevated on the plot, which matters more than you'd think. You get sun. Real sun. From midday right through to the long Swedish evening, the orientation means the terrace — or wherever you choose to build one — catches warmth while the surrounding birch and spruce provide enough shelter to make it feel private. The neighbouring plots give you space rather than proximity. It rarely feels like anyone is nearby. Inside, the open fireplace pulls all the weight during shoulder season. April and October in this part of Sweden can go either way — a log fire at dusk with the windows fogged and a glass of something warming on the side is not a marketing cliché here, it's just Tuesday. The open-plan layout with large windows keeps things feeling bigger than the floor plan suggests, and the natural materials used throughout — untreated wood, simple finishes — age well and need almost no upkeep. The kitchen is fitte ... click here to read more

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

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.

Main house and deck

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

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.

Step outside on a July morning and walk 300 meters through the trees in your bathrobe. That's how close Lake Kolmaren is. The water is clear, the dock is quiet, and you're back at the kitchen table with coffee before anyone else in the house has stirred. This is the kind of thing that happens when you own a place on Boängsvägen in Spillersboda — and it happens every single day you're here. The house sits at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Frötuna-Spillersboda area of Norrtälje municipality, roughly an hour north of Stockholm by car or SL bus. It borders a public green area on one side, which means no future neighbor crowding in. The plot runs to 2,262 square meters — a generous spread by any measure — and it moves through the property in layers: a southwest-facing terrace catching afternoon sun, flat grass wide enough for a proper game of kubb or badminton, then rocky outcrops that push up through the ground and form natural sheltered spots where you can sit with a book without anyone finding you. The apple trees are old and reliable. Currant bushes produce more than any one family can eat. In August, you'll find wild blueberries and lingonberries along the forest edge without walking more than a few minutes. Come September, the same forest throws up kantareller — chanterelles — in quantities that make you wish you'd brought a bigger basket. Lilacs bloom hard in May and fill the downstairs rooms with scent when you leave the windows open. Inside, the house is 64 square meters across three bedrooms, which is compact but genuinely well-used. The living room has a soapstone wood-burning stove — not a decorative one, a real working heat source that makes late-October weekends here entirely viable. Large windows look out ov ... click here to read more

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

Late July. The southwest deck is warm from six hours of sun, someone's grilling mackerel inside, and through the pine trees you can just make out the glint of Blidösund. That's what mornings—and honestly most afternoons—feel like at Lilla Furusundsvägen 4. This is a place that earns its hold on you slowly, then completely. Yxlan is one of those Stockholm archipelago islands that hasn't been packaged and sold to death. Reachable via the bridge at Skarmsund, it still moves at a pace that most of coastal Sweden has quietly forgotten. Kids ride bikes down gravel tracks. Neighbors know each other's boats by name. The archipelago smell—salt, pine resin, sun-warmed wood—hits you the moment you step out of the car, and it doesn't leave. The property itself sits on a generous plot on Lilla Furusundsvägen, roughly 300 meters from open water, and it's genuinely unlike anything else in this price range on the island.
