Description

Nestled amidst the idyllic landscapes of Sweden, the property at Skravelbacken 3, Norrtälje kommun is a lovely country home that promises a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Norrtälje itself is a tranquil locality situated in the heart of Sweden’s stunning archipelago, a place where nature’s call is always within earshot. This peaceful town is around an hour's drive from Stockholm, offering an ideal balance between seclusion and accessibility.

Picture this: After a scenic boat ride to Stomnarö island, you dock at a shared pier where clear waters lap gently against the shore. A brief walk along quaint woodland paths or an ATV-accessible road takes you to your new retreat. It’s here, where the dense green of a natural plot stretches out before you, that two inviting dwellings offer the opportunity for a relaxed and flexible living arrangement.

HOUSE 1

Your main living space spans approximately 60 square meters and welcomes you with a thoughtfully renovated kitchen, replete with modern conveniences and an open floor plan. This setup invites wholesome family meals and gatherings with friends, enhanced by the ambiance created by the wood-burning stove. From the living room, French doors open onto a terrace, partially sheltered and beckoning summer lunches al fresco. Comprising three bedrooms, the house accommodates a family comfortably, though they may benefit from some redecoration to suit your personal tastes. A shower room awaits your creative touch to transform it into a spa-like sanctuary.

HOUSE 2

The secondary house, perhaps perfect for guests or extended family, boasts a large, light-filled living area thanks to expansive windows. Its compact yet efficient kitchen, a spacious bedroom with a bunk bed, and a serviceable shower room ensure practicality. The storeroom and outhouse nearby enhance its utility.

Living in Norrtälje offers you more than just a home; it delivers a lifestyle intertwined with vibrant Swedish culture. The climate, typical of maritime influences, brings warm summers that are ideal for boating or picnicking and cold, picturesque winters. Locals cherish the distinct four seasons, each bringing unique beauty to the landscape. Summer days are for savoring the archipelago with its endless islands and skerries, while winter invites you to cozy up by the fire with a good book.

Beyond your doorstep, the modest population on Stomnarö creates a friendly community where seasonal events and gatherings are common, fostering a welcoming atmosphere for new residents. Living here, you have the privilege of accessing coveted island life coupled with essential conveniences. Spillersboda, just a short boat ride away, has all the amenities one needs – a charming service store, a helpful boatyard, and even a building trade shop. The community features a municipal swimming area, ideal for a refreshing dip during those hot summer months.

For travel further afield, public transportation in Spillersboda is conveniently accessible, connecting directly to the greater Norrtälje and even Stockholm, making it suitable for commuting professionals or explorers eager to enjoy urban delights without losing their tranquil home base.

Envision this property not just as a house, but as a versatile abode that meets the needs of the contemporary family, perhaps seeking a summer home or even a permanent residence amidst natural beauty. The potential for personalization in House 1, combined with the fully-renovated layout of House 2, renders it perfect for multi-generational living or hosting extended stays for dear friends from overseas.

From taking leisurely strolls through pine-scented trails or organizing a family BBQ with a view of the sea peeking through the trees, to working from a light-filled home office with nature just outside your window – this is your sanctuary. Move here to embrace a slower pace, yet one that is enriched by the community, the surroundings, and the simple joy of living close to the land and sea.

If you are dreaming of a harmonious blend of peaceful island life with the vibrance of Swedish cultural heritage, then Skravelbacken 3 presents the perfect opportunity to experience life at its uncomplicated best.

Alright, so I’ll try to give you a clear picture of this country house out in Gröttnäs, Årjäng. I’m handling a lot of interest over here, especially from buyers abroad these days, so I’ll get to the point but also try to give you enough info since I know moving or buying in Sweden can be a big step, especially if you’re an expat or looking for a country retreat. My main aim is to make sure you get a proper insight about the house, the local area, and what it’s truly like to live here—not just a glossy image. Firstly, about the house. We're looking at a Swedish country home from early last century, 1909 to be exact, and it’s sitting on a sprawling plot of just over 5 hectares – that’s big enough for plenty of privacy and gives you the real countryside feeling that people come to Sweden for. The house itself is 57 square meters, so it’s not massive, more of a cozy size—you’ll find two bedrooms, a living room, a functional kitchen (not huge, but gets the job done), plus you get an extra 25 sqm of auxiliary space. Think utility, storage, or even a teenage hangout if you like, but don’t expect those giant open-plan spaces you see in magazines. This home is more about practicality and comfort rather than showing off. Condition wise, its good—renovated to a comfortable standard, though of course, as always with places like this, you might want to add your own touches over time. Nothing really in need of serious renovation unless you dream of putting in a new kitchen or modernizing a bit more to your taste. The important stuff’s taken care of and you can move in without major worries. Living on over 5 hectares really makes a difference to daily life, especially for those coming from bigger cities or other countries where land ... click here to read more

Alright, thanks for your patience – as you can perheps imagine, it’s been a busy day with showings and quick phone calls, but Im glad to give you a deeper insight into this property for you as an overseas buyer looking for a chance to make a mark in Sweden, on beautiful Gotland, just outside of Visby. You’re looking at a classic countryside opportunity—a real fixer-upper with loads of potential. The property stands on Hejdeby Suderbys 236, which sits about a 10 min drive east of Visby, in the heart of Gotland, Sweden. This house is definitely one for someone not shy of a renovation project, maybe someone with a bit of imagination who wants to bring some history back to life and create a unique home for family, or as a creative retreat, or maybe even as a base for letting out to others who want to experience rural Swedish lifestyle. This property, built way back in 1900, was constructed in the traditional Gotlandic style, with a plastered facade that’s seen a lot over the years. You’ll see the bones are solid, the house has character and authenticity, but it’s clear when you walk in that it’s time for an update. The house hasn’t had extensive modernisation, so plan some work with tools—and maybe a little patience, too. The upside to this is you’re not inheriting someone else’s rushed DIY jobs throughout, so you can properly plan and make it your own from scratch. This is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom country home, 76 sqm living space and actually with an extra 92 sqm of secondary buildings or “bonus space”, so for those with ideas for workshops, home offices, or even maybe a guest studio, there’s a bit more here to play with than you might expect at first. But, let’s be realistic – the spaces are in need of renovation, s ... click here to read more

Alright, so I’m putting this together for all you international buyers, expats and anyone looking for that quiet Swedish life not too far from Stockholm – but without all the city noise. Honestly, I’ve barely got a moment to sit and write this out because the Swedish market for country homes with real land is super busy right now, but I know how important it is for foreign buyers to really understand what this kind of life offers. So, let’s get straight to it. I want to talk about what it’s honestly like to move out here, especially for those of you coming in from warmer climates or big cities. Swedish country homes are a lot about fresh air, quiet, wooded privacy, and a bit of that simple life. This property, Brunnsåkersvägen 52 near Strängnäs, is a solid example of that classic “sommarstuga” kind of place – but unlike a lot, it’s definitely in liveable, good shape. Yes, not a big mansion or anything, but it gives you a great blank canvas without being a complete fixer-upper. If you’re thinking of relocating or having a getaway outside Stockholm, you’ll want to know the area has lakes everywhere—seriously, Sweden is full of them, and Mälaren is one of the most famous. The weather here does get all four seasons. Winters can be a bit tough if you’re not used to the cold, but I find people love the snowy landscapes, and summers are usually mild and full of long daylight hours. Expect to be outdoors a lot, whether you’re hiking, picking wild berries, or fishing out on the lake. Personally, after working all week with clients from everywhere, I sometimes wish I had more weekends free to take out a rowboat just down from this kind of property. Strängnäs itself is a medium-sized Swedish town known for that beautiful old cat ... click here to read more

Alright, so this country home really offers a chance for buyers—especailly expats and international folks—to have that classic Swedish west coast summer life, but with a straightforward, no nonsense approach. I get a lot of questions from buyers about what it’s actually like to live here or own a country place, so I’m going to break things down for you. I’m an agent based localy, but also working with a lot of global clients, so I know the type of info you’ll need before making a decision, especailly if you’re coming in from abroad. The property is located at Ängsliden 3, in Härnäset, part of the Lysekil municipality (for those who haven’t been here, it’s on Sweden’s famous Bohuslän coast, which is on the west side facing Norway). I’ve been super busy this season, and honestly, good places like this don’t last long—so if you’re considering a Swedish getaway or a home for the whole family, it’s worth a look. Let me start by talking about the house itself. The main home is about 70 square meters, so it’s compact, but well arranged for summer or year-round living (some folks do live here all year, but it’s more common as a summer place). You get three bedrooms, which makes it good for a family, or if you’re having guests over, which I know is always important for overseas buyers that want to host friends or family from back home. The bathroom setup is typical for these properties, with one toilet inside the house, and the shower accessed from the outside—yes, it feels a little bit different at first, but most owners end up loving it, say it’s practical for after a swim, or washing off after hiking or playing outside. Story-wise, picture arriving in Sweden after a flight, and just a short drive from Gothenburg—maybe an ho ... click here to read more

Alright – let me take a moment in between showings and write you up an honest, detailed story about this special place I have out in the Swedish countryside. I’m often showing properties all over, but this one grabbed my attention for a few reasons, and it’s got that right mix for someone looking for a private home in Sweden that’s still not too far from things. I know my overseas clients have a lot of questions about area and climate, so I’ll break it all down. Let’s start with the basics and I’ll weave in my observations along the way. Located up in the north of Sweden, just outside the small but growing town of Kåge (around 10 min to Skellefteå by car), you’ll find this cottage-style country home sitting on Övägen 107. This is solid country living, but you’re not totally isolated; you get those woods and the peacful setting, but if you need milk or want a coffee out, it’s not a huge drive or hike to town. First off, the cottage isn’t massive at 48 square meters, it’s more designed for either a single or a couple, or maybe as a peaceful little retreat for someone who wants an escape from the city chaos – though you could use it as your full-time home if you like that way of life. There’s just one bedroom, but it’s roomy, and then there’s 1 bathroom that’s been updated recently. I’ve seen people convert sleepy cottages like this into a full-time home with no trouble, maybe use the upper floor for guests – it works if you want the basics plus some comfort, and don’t need extra luxury. There’s also a proper sized plot – 1,964 square meters, so if you dream of a garden (or maybe keep chickens, classic country stuff), you’ve got the space. Let’s talk features and layout, quick bullet-point style: - Approx 48 sqm interio ... click here to read more
