Description

This house for sale in Trosa sits on a 4,584 m² natural plot on Öbolandet, with a guest cottage and a transferable boat dock. It is a 1964 year-round home with two bedrooms, so it works as a full-time base or as a second home on the Södermanland coast. The setting is forest and mature trees, with the centre of Trosa a short drive or bike ride away.

A 1964 Cottage Built for Year-Round Living



The house has 66 m² of living space across three rooms: two bedrooms and a living room. There is also a kitchen with its own dining area and one bathroom. Exposed ceiling beams and wooden floors give the interior the feel of a classic Swedish summer house, and large windows bring in plenty of light. The veranda is the obvious spot for the first coffee of the day, with the forest around you and no road noise to speak of.

The condition is good, so this is a house to move into rather than a project to plan around. As with any home from the 1960s, it is worth asking about heating, insulation and winter running costs at a viewing, particularly if you plan to use it outside the summer months.

The 4,584 m² Plot, Guest Cottage and Boat Dock



Land is what sets this property apart. At 4,584 m², the plot is large by any standard, and it is left mostly natural, with trees and greenery wrapped around the house. That gives you privacy from the start. If you want more structure, there is room for vegetable beds, a lawn for children or a fire pit. You can also leave it as it is and let the forest do the work.

A separate guest cottage stands on the grounds. Friends and family get their own space, and you keep yours. It could just as easily become a home office or a studio if you work remotely for part of the year.

Then there is the boat dock. Access to it can be transferred to the new owner, which is not something you find with every house near Trosa. The Baltic archipelago starts on your doorstep, with swimming, fishing and small-boat trips close by. Ask for the exact terms of the dock transfer during the purchase process.

Living in Trosa



Trosa is one of the best-known small coastal towns in Södermanland. The centre is built around the river and the guest harbour, with low wooden buildings, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Summer weekends bring visitors from Stockholm, but out on Öbolandet it stays quiet. You can cycle into town for groceries or lunch and be back among the trees within minutes.

The surrounding countryside suits walking and cycling, and there are nature reserves nearby for longer outings. For a second home in Sweden, that mix of a proper town close by and real seclusion at home is hard to beat.

Getting There: Airports and Drive Times



Stockholm is roughly an hour away by car, which makes weekend trips realistic. Stockholm Skavsta Airport near Nyköping is about 45 minutes from Trosa and is the most convenient airport for many European routes. Stockholm Arlanda is further north, around an hour and a half by road depending on traffic. Having both options keeps flights flexible.

Buying a Second Home in Sweden



Sweden does not generally restrict foreign buyers from purchasing a house, so international buyers can purchase here on much the same basis as residents. This property is described as suitable for year-round use, which means you can visit in autumn or winter as well as in summer. Use a local lawyer or advisor to check the title, the boat dock arrangement and any local rules before you commit.

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. The main house dates to the early 1900s and carries that era's architecture with authority: glass verandas on both the entrance level and the upper floor, pine floors that glow amber in afternoon light, wooden-paneled walls painted in the kind of pale, cool tones that make Swedish interiors feel both historic and completely liveable. Two full floors, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 96 square meters that feel larger than the number suggests—partly because the flow between rooms is good, and partly because the southwest-facing deck extends living space from May through September in a way that no interior room can replicate. That deck catches sun from mid-morning until the long Nordic evening fades. You won't want to leave it. But what makes this estate something well beyond a typical holiday house in Sweden is what s ... click here to read more

Main house and garden

Six o'clock on a July morning. You slide open the door to the deck and the lake is completely still—no wind, no sound except a lone loon somewhere in the reeds. The water reflects the tree line so perfectly that it's hard to tell where the forest ends and its mirror begins. Coffee in hand, barefoot on sun-warmed pine planks, you're standing on your own peninsula. Nobody else is out here. This is Sör-Älgen 272. Built in 2024 and designed for four-season living, this single-storey house sits at the very tip of a private peninsula on Lake Sör-Älgen in Bergslagen—a region of deep Swedish forest, iron heritage, and surprisingly refined food culture. The plot runs to 1,924 square metres of untouched lakeside terrain. You have water on three sides. The sunrise arrives early and stays long, painting the surface of the lake in amber and copper before the rest of the world is even awake. The house itself is compact and deliberate—84 square metres that feel spacious because every corner faces the landscape. Large windows pull the forest and water inside, meaning your morning views shift with the seasons: ice-blue and snow-bright from November through March, then riotously green from May onward, then blazing orange and rust through September and October. The open-plan living and kitchen area is light and genuinely airy, not the estate-agent version of airy where one small skylight does the heavy lifting. There's a proper bedroom with room to breathe, a fully equipped modern bathroom, and smart storage throughout. Heating and insulation meet Swedish year-round standards, so a February weekend here is as comfortable as August—different, but comfortable. The deck deserves its own paragraph. It's generous, south-facing, and connects ... click here to read more

Lakefront view of Sör-Älgen 272

Early July on Fårö, the light doesn't really set. By ten in the evening it's still this warm amber glow through the pine trees, and if you're sitting on the grass with a glass of something cold, the silence is so complete you can hear the limestone crunch under a passing bike on the lane outside. That's the particular magic of this island — and this four-bedroom house at Fårö Friggars 2443 puts you right in the middle of it, on a 1,538 square meter plot that feels like it belongs to another era entirely. Fårö is not Gotland's main island, which already tells you something. To get here, you take the small free ferry from Fårösund — a ten-minute crossing that most tourists never bother with. The ones who do make that crossing tend to come back every year. The island has maybe a thousand permanent residents, a handful of year-round shops, and a landscape that has been quietly captivating people since Ingmar Bergman decided he never wanted to leave. His grave is here. His old screening room still stands in Hammars. In August, the Bergman Week festival draws film lovers from across Europe for outdoor screenings and talks, and in the weeks either side of it, the island is animated without ever feeling overrun. The house itself is a classic 1981 plastered construction — the kind of solid, no-nonsense Swedish summer house that was built to be used, not photographed. Around 110 square meters across two floors, it's in good condition and genuinely functional for a family or a group of friends who want space without the complications of a renovation project. Four bedrooms. Two bathrooms. A kitchen that actually has room to cook in. This isn't a weekend cabin that sleeps four in a tangle of fold-out beds. It's a proper house.

Exterior view of the house and garden

Stand on the upper floor on a calm July morning and you can see the light doing something unusual over Lake Mälaren — it splinters across the bays of Stallarholmen in a way that makes the water look like hammered silver. The windows are original hand-blown glass from the 1800s, so the view has a very slight wobble to it, like looking through old eyes. That detail alone tells you what kind of house this is. Toresunds Backe 4 in Stallarholmen started its life in 1753 as a soldier's cottage in Mariefred. It was part of the Ekeby estate, a piece of the Norra Ekeby historical landscape, and it has been standing — in one form or another — through Swedish winters and summers for nearly three centuries. In 2024, the house was carefully relocated to a brand-new 1,122 square metre plot and is undergoing complete reconstruction, due for full completion in 2026. New foundation, new installations throughout, every system modern and fresh. But the original 18th-century timber frame? Still there. Still load-bearing. Still the soul of the thing. This is genuinely rare. You don't often get to own a house with a documented provenance stretching to the mid-1700s, combined with the practical comfort of a newly built home. No compromises on insulation. No aging electrics. No worrying about what's behind the walls — because what's behind the walls is brand new, wrapped around centuries-old timber that craftsmen have gone to extraordinary lengths to preserve. The entrance porch — the so-called punsch veranda, a classic feature of 19th-century Swedish summer house culture — is fitted with that hand-blown glass, casting warped, amber-edged light into the hallway when the afternoon sun hits from the southwest. The kitchen is hand-painted and d ... click here to read more

Front view of the historic house

Stand at the top of Björnbärsvägen 12B on a clear September morning and you will understand immediately why plots like this almost never come to market. The water of Erstaviken spreads out below you in a wide, silver sheet, broken only by the occasional sailboat making its way toward the outer archipelago. The air smells of pine resin and salt. This is the kind of view people drive an hour from Stockholm to photograph. You would wake up to it every single day. Tyresö Strand is one of those places that feels genuinely discovered rather than developed. The roads here are narrow and lined with mature birch and oak. The houses sit well apart from each other on generous plots, and on summer evenings you can hear families gathering on their terraces, the clink of glasses, the distant hum of an outboard motor heading home before dark. It is residential in the quietest, most earned sense of the word — a neighbourhood built by people who chose it carefully, not one that happened by default. This particular plot sits elevated above the surrounding area, which matters enormously on Erstaviken. The water views here are unobstructed and panoramic, sweeping across the bay in a way that lower-lying plots simply cannot offer. Because the land rises naturally, future construction can be oriented to take full advantage of the outlook — a south-facing living room, a terrace cantilevered toward the bay, floor-to-ceiling glass that makes the water feel like part of your interior. The zoning plan is already in place and allows for a two-storey main building of up to 160 square metres (or up to 200 sqm for a single-storey build), plus outbuildings or a garage of up to 40 square metres. The framework for your vision is already drawn. You brin ... click here to read more

Main view of the property with sea and nature

At around seven in the evening in late June, the sun is still two fists above the horizon, dropping slowly toward the water in shades of amber and coral. You're sitting on the decking above the jetty with a cold glass of something local, bare feet on warm timber, watching a small boat cut a white line across the inlet. The birch trees behind you hold the last of the warmth. There is no traffic. No city noise. Just the soft lap of water and the occasional call of a common tern from somewhere out in the bay. This is what an evening at Svartsö Träskö 11 actually feels like, and it's not something you forget quickly. The property sits on the island of Träskö in Mellanskärgården, the middle archipelago east of Stockholm, within Värmdö municipality. Träskö is a genuine island, not a peninsula, not a suburb with water views, but a real Swedish skärgård island with forest paths, granite outcrops, and a pace of life that makes the city feel genuinely far away. The plot faces west, which matters enormously here. West-facing waterfront in the Stockholm archipelago is the orientation everyone wants because it catches afternoon sun and those long Nordic summer evenings run right until midnight. The cottage itself was originally built in 1957 and has been adapted over time into a winterized, year-round boathouse. At 20 square metres it's compact and honest about that. A wood-fired sauna. An enclosed veranda. A kitchenette with its own entrance. A living area with a table, chairs, and a sleeping space. It's not trying to be a villa. It's a place to arrive at on a Friday afternoon, get the sauna going, jump off the jetty, and immediately decompress. It does that job extremely well. But the real story here is the land, the water front ... click here to read more

Seaside cottage and jetty

The first thing you notice on a July morning at Skälviksvägen 42 is the light. It comes off the Kattegat at a low, golden angle, slices through the large glass panels, and lands across the kitchen floor before you've even put the coffee on. That's the rhythm here. Sea, light, silence — and then the kettle. Villshärad is one of those small coastal communities along Sweden's Halland coast that people from Göteborg and Malmö have been quietly passing down through families for generations. It sits south of Halmstad on the E6, tucked between Kattegat shoreline and flat, open farmland — the kind of landscape where old granite stone walls run between plots and the wind shapes the coastal pines into permanent lean. Skälviksvägen is one of the roads that dead-ends at the water, which is exactly why it matters. This property at number 42 has direct path access to the beach. Not a five-minute drive, not a pleasant walk through town — a path. From the garden gate to salt water in under two minutes. The house itself covers 80 square metres on a single level, and whoever renovated it understood that the sea outside was already doing most of the decorating. The interior is clean and considered, with a neutral palette that lets the changing light do the work throughout the day. In the mornings the living spaces are bright and airy; by late afternoon, when the sun drops toward the water, everything turns amber. Three bedrooms sit quietly at the back, each one simple and restful in the way that only Swedish coastal homes manage — no clutter, good proportions, the kind of rooms where you actually sleep. The kitchen is modern and properly equipped, which matters more than people think when you're cooking for a family after a day on the b ... click here to read more

Exterior view of Skälviksvägen 42

Step out onto the deck just after seven in the morning, coffee in hand, and watch a cargo ship slide silently through the shipping lane below while a pair of eider ducks ride the wake. This is Uvmarö on Norra Finnö — a small island in the Sankt Anna archipelago where the Baltic light hits the water at an angle that photographers drive hours to catch, and where your boat berth sits waiting at the dock like a key to a hundred uninhabited islands. The house itself was built in 2005 and sits elevated on a rocky knoll, which does two things: it keeps you above the tree line for uninterrupted views across Sanden toward Lagnö, and it gives the whole property a sense of arrival, a feeling that you've genuinely reached somewhere. Single-storey with a finished loft above, the layout is more generous than the 115 square metres suggests. Soaring ceilings in the main living area pull the eye upward while the oversized windows pull it outward — you're almost never not looking at water. The open kitchen and living room is where this house earns its reputation as a gathering place. On a Friday evening in July, you'll have a pot of kräftor on the stove, the wood-burning stove crackling not because you need it but because it smells right, and eight people spilling between the kitchen island and the deck without anyone feeling crowded. The kitchen is modern and properly equipped — not the kind that looks good in photos but fails you when you're cooking a serious meal. The loft overhead adds a useful private bunk or reading retreat away from the noise below. Three bedrooms handle a family or a group of friends with ease. The main bathroom is fully tiled, includes a laundry area, and — crucially for this latitude — has a proper sauna. Aft ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and garden

Step out of the front door in the early morning, coffee in hand, and the Baltic Sea is already right there — maybe forty meters away, maybe less. The water shifts color depending on the hour: slate grey before sunrise, then suddenly copper-gold, then the particular blue-green that Öland seems to reserve for itself. Church swallows cut low over the coastal meadow below the garden. That's the daily reality of this three-bedroom house at Össby 251, and it's one of those rare situations where the property genuinely delivers on every inch of its promise. Össby is a small village on the southeastern tip of Öland, the long narrow island off Sweden's Baltic coast that stretches between Kalmar in the north and the Ottenby nature reserve at its southern tip. This isn't a tourist village in any commercial sense. There's a local restaurant and not much else in the way of retail, which is precisely the point. The nearest grocery run takes you eight kilometers north to Grönhögen — a short drive past windmills and limestone alvar — where you'll find a supermarket, a couple of restaurants, an ice cream café that gets genuinely busy in July, and a golf course that sits above the sea with views that golfers tend to photograph more than they play. Grönhögen also has the old Neptuni åkrar limestone quarry, a shallow natural swimming hole etched into ancient rock where Swedes have been cooling off for generations. The Ottenby Bird Observatory, one of Scandinavia's most important ornithological stations, is just a few kilometers south. Spring and autumn migration here is extraordinary — raptors, waders, and songbirds funnel through Öland's southern tip in numbers that attract serious birdwatchers from across Europe. But you don't need to be ... click here to read more

Seaside villa exterior with sea view

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in July, the kind that only happens in the Swedish archipelago. You've got the kitchen window cracked open, coffee brewing, and across the water you can see a handful of wooden sailboats drifting past the islands. Nobody is honking. Nobody is rushing. The light out here—that long, gold, Baltic summer light—hits the water at an angle that makes you feel like you're living inside a painting. That's Trappviksstigen 10 on a normal morning. Set on the Jogersö peninsula just outside central Oxelösund in Södermanland, this two-bedroom holiday home sits on a generous 2,084-square-metre plot with the kind of sea outlook that makes you rethink everything you thought you needed from a property. At 108 square metres inside, it's not enormous—but it's all the right size. Compact enough to feel genuinely cosy, spacious enough to host family for two weeks without anyone stepping on each other's nerves. The house has been steadily improved since 2005, and it shows. Not in a showy, over-renovated way, but in the way a well-loved home shows its care—tile floors with underfloor heating in the bathroom, a kitchen with bright cabinetry and just enough room for a proper breakfast table by the window, a wood-burning stove in the living area that earns its keep from September through April. The open-plan living and dining space gets real water views through large windows. On grey November afternoons, you'll light the stove, pour something warm, and feel genuinely glad you own this instead of a city flat. The two bedrooms are tucked away from the main living areas—a thoughtful layout detail that matters enormously when you've got kids crashing early and adults wanting to linger over dinner. The bathroom i ... click here to read more

Step off the dock at Vansjö 13 on a July morning—water so still it mirrors the pine trees, a coffee going cold on the table behind you, a pike rippling the surface twenty meters out. That's what owning this place actually feels like. Not a postcard version of Swedish summer. The real thing. Sitting directly on the shores of Vansjön in Avesta kommun, this two-bedroom winterized home occupies a 1,585 square meter lot with its own private beach, wooden jetty, lakeside guest cottage, traditional sauna, and wood-fired hot tub. Properties with this kind of water access in Dalarna simply don't come up often. When they do, they go fast. The house itself was originally built in the 1950s—that solid, unfussy postwar Swedish construction that was built to last—and received a substantial renovation and extension in 2017. The result is 84 square meters of well-considered living space that manages to feel both genuinely cozy and entirely functional. The kitchen added during the renovation is the kind you actually want to cook in: full-sized appliances, proper counter space, room to move around when you've got guests. The original kitchen space was converted into a wet room handling laundry and utility storage, which frees up the rest of the house for living rather than logistics. The living room anchors the home with a traditional Swedish fireplace—a kakelugn-style setup that radiates a deep, even heat that no electric radiator ever quite replicates. On a February afternoon when the temperature outside is sitting at minus fifteen and the lake is frozen solid, this room becomes the entire world. Two bedrooms handle family configurations or the classic Swedish summer scenario: parents in one room, kids in the other, grandparents inst ... click here to read more

Front view of Vansjö 13, lakeside house

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in late June, coffee in hand, and the Baltic light is already doing something extraordinary — bouncing off Korsfjärden in long silver ribbons that reach right through the south-facing windows of the living room. The nearest beach is a two-minute walk. There are no traffic sounds. Just birdsong, the faint creak of a boat somewhere in the channel, and the smell of warm pine from the garden. This is what daily life at Sandenvägen 30 actually feels like. Sankt Anna is one of those places that Swedes have quietly kept to themselves for generations. Tucked into the Östergötland archipelago south of Söderköping, it comprises around 6,000 islands, islets, and skerries — and unlike the more crowded Stockholms skärgård to the north, it still has that unhurried, genuinely local feel. Sanden itself is a small village with real character: a tennis court, beach volleyball courts, a playground, and walking trails that wind through coastal woodland down to the water. The grocery store and a handful of restaurants are close enough to reach by bike, which is exactly how most people get around here in summer. The house sits on a 2,122-square-meter plot between two of the area's best swimming beaches. One faces west toward Lagnöströmmen — a sheltered stretch that stays reliably clear of algae throughout the season. The other faces south toward Korsfjärden, which means sun from mid-morning until the long Scandinavian evenings fade into a pink-orange dusk sometime after 10pm in July. That south-facing beach is the one you'll find yourself walking to most mornings. It becomes yours very quickly. Built in 1986 and architect-designed from the ground up, the house spans 173 square meters of living space with a ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first — salt air and pine, drifting through an open window on a July morning while the harbor down the hill is already busy with fishing boats heading out toward the Kosterfjord. That's what mornings look like from Hovslagargatan 3. Coffee on the terrace, the conservatory catching the early light, and absolutely nothing demanding your attention until you're ready. Grebbestad sits on Sweden's Bohuslän coast, a stretch of coastline that West Coast Swedes guard like a family secret. The town has a real working harbor — lobster and oysters pulled straight from those cold, clean waters — and yet it never turns into the kind of place that forgets itself for the sake of summer crowds. The main street runs to the water's edge. There are maybe four or five restaurants worth returning to, a bakery that opens early enough to catch the sunrise crowd, and kayak rentals at the dock if you feel like paddling out to the skerries before lunch. In late August, the Smögen and Grebbestad area fills with Swedish families doing what Swedes do best: slow evenings, open boats, crayfish parties on granite rocks by the sea. November brings a different kind of quiet. Fog and moody skies. The kind of weather that makes you glad you've got a hot tub. This property at Hovslagargatan 3 sits at the end of a residential street — far enough from the summer foot traffic to feel private, close enough to the harbor that you're never hunting for parking. It's a substantial house. 115 square metres of main living space, good condition throughout, and a basement apartment that effectively gives you a second home within the property. That last part matters more than people initially expect. The main floor opens wide. Living room and kitche ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and garden

Step out onto the back terrace on a Friday evening in July. The light on Värmdö doesn't fade so much as it lingers — that long, amber Scandinavian glow that makes everything feel unhurried. You can hear the water. The sea is 350 meters away, close enough that a morning swim before coffee is a completely reasonable life choice. That's not a weekend treat here. That's Tuesday. Evlinge is one of those corners of Värmdö that locals tend to keep quiet about. The island sits just east of Stockholm, connected by road through the leafy arc of the archipelago — about 35 to 40 minutes from the capital, depending on where you're headed. It doesn't have the same postcard fame as Sandhamn or Vaxholm, and that's precisely why it works. No tour buses on Betesvägen. Just a quiet residential street, generous plots, and the kind of birch-and-pine silence that Stockholm residents pay considerable sums to access on weekends. This house, built in 1970 and kept in good condition over the decades, sits on a 2,596 square meter plot. That number deserves a moment. Nearly 2,600 square meters means actual land — room for a kitchen garden, a hammock between the trees, a snowman in February that the kids can build without running out of space. The footprint of the house itself is 70 square meters of living area spread across two floors, which keeps maintenance manageable without feeling cramped. Two wood-burning stoves. That detail matters more than any spec sheet can convey. On a November afternoon when the temperature drops and the first snow settles on the garden, both stoves earn their place — one on each floor, each one pulling the room inward and making it feel smaller in the best possible way. The upper-floor stove sits in the main living ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and garden

Stand on the wooden deck at six in the morning, coffee in hand, and watch a sea eagle glide low over the water while the inlet below your plot sits completely still. No traffic noise. No neighbours in your sightline. Just the occasional creak of a boat at the shared dock and the smell of Swedish summer — sun-warmed pine, salt air, wild strawberries growing somewhere in the grass behind you. This is Vaden 125, sitting at the very tip of Söderön island in Östhammar Municipality, and mornings here genuinely feel like the world kept a secret just for you. The house was built in 1992 and has been in the same family's hands ever since — the kind of place that accumulates decades of careful attention rather than neglect. You can feel it in the condition of the property: maintained properly, updated where it mattered, left alone where it didn't need changing. The main house runs to 135 square metres of living space across nine rooms, seven of which are bedrooms. Five of those bedrooms face the water. Waking up to an ever-shifting view of the Swedish archipelago isn't something you get used to quickly, which is rather the point. The open-plan kitchen and living room is the gravitational centre of the house. Large windows run the length of the water-facing wall, and the light that comes through them changes completely with the seasons — the pale gold of late-summer evenings, the hard winter brightness bouncing off snow-covered rocks, the flat grey of an October storm that somehow makes the inside feel even warmer. The wraparound timber deck connects to this space directly, and in July it becomes an outdoor dining room, a sunbathing terrace, a stage for long evenings that drift past midnight. The guesthouse — the original buildi ... click here to read more

Main house with sea view

Step outside on a July morning in Fide and the air already carries warmth before nine o'clock. The limestone fields stretch out behind the garden, a pair of lapwings call from somewhere beyond the stone wall, and the smell of sun-warmed grass drifts through the open kitchen window. This is southern Gotland — unhurried, specific, and unlike anywhere else in Sweden. This two-bedroom stone house in Fide Österby is the kind of place that makes you stop checking your phone. Built in 2016 in the island's traditional plastered stone style, the house sits on a quiet plot in Fide parish, one of the southernmost corners of Gotland. The island is at its narrowest here, which means you're genuinely a short bike ride from both the east and west coasts simultaneously. That geographical quirk is one of the quiet pleasures of this location — you can catch a sunrise over the Baltic at Grynge algerna one morning and watch the sun drop into the sea from Hoburgen's dramatic cliffs the next evening, all without getting in a car. The building itself is compact and considered. Seventy-four square meters sounds modest until you step inside and notice the ceiling height, the way light moves through the large glass panels throughout the day, and how the open kitchen and living room feel genuinely social rather than squeezed. The fireplace with its insert draws the eye immediately — a five-meter chimney rising through the roof, solid and well-proportioned. On a grey November afternoon, that fire changes everything about the mood of the room. Underfloor heating runs throughout, fed by a ground-source heat pump, so the warmth is even and quiet and costs far less to run than you might expect.

Step out onto the wraparound deck on a July morning and count the sailboats threading between the islands. The water catches the early light in that particular Baltic way — sharp, almost silver — and the only sound is birdsong and the distant put-put of an outboard motor heading out toward Nämdöfjärden. This is Hässelmara, Värmdö, and it gets under your skin fast. Åkerblomsvägen 14 sits on a 4,140-square-metre plot that feels genuinely private. Mature pines and birch trees ring the boundary, which means you're not staring into a neighbor's living room — you're looking at forest. For buyers used to European plots measured in the hundreds of square metres, this kind of space reads almost absurdly generous. Children can tear around the garden all afternoon. You can grow tomatoes and courgettes in raised beds on the south-facing side. There's room to do nothing at all, which is sometimes the entire point of a second home. The house itself was built in 1992 but tells very little of that story today. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2023 — proper high-spec work, new appliances, clean cabinetry with serious storage — and it opens through to a living area where large windows pull in light from multiple angles. On grey November days, that light matters. On long midsummer evenings when the sun barely drops below the horizon, the whole room glows in a way that makes you want to open every window and cook something slow on the stove. The flooring throughout is fresh, the tones are neutral without being boring, and everything is genuinely move-in ready. No punch list waiting for you. The bathroom was redone in 2022 with underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, and tiling that doesn't apologise for itself. Small detail, but underflo ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the only sounds are birdsong and the faint ripple of Ensjön Lake through the pines. That's the daily reality at Gåsörtsvägen 10 — a compact, move-in ready holiday cottage sitting on a generous 1,060-square-metre plot in one of Norrköping's most quietly sought-after summer communities. At 495,000 SEK, this is a rare entry point into Swedish lakeside living, the kind of place that gets passed between families for generations. The cottage itself is 30 square metres — small by year-round standards, but that's entirely the point. Swedish summer house culture isn't about square footage; it's about the garden, the water, the fire pit on a still August evening. The layout is tight and well-considered, with a glazed veranda at the front that functions as a proper extra room from May through September. Sit there on a rainy afternoon and you get all the green of the garden and none of the wet. It's a genuinely good space, more liveable than it sounds on paper. Inside, the kitchen handles everything you'd want from a summer kitchen — adequate storage, functional appliances, enough bench space to prep a proper meal after a morning of picking your own tomatoes from the greenhouse out back. The living area doubles as a dining room, which keeps things sociable when family arrives. The single bedroom fits a double bed easily and has that particular cosiness that only small Swedish cottages seem to manage. You sleep deeply here. What really sets this property apart is what's outside. Two outbuildings of meaningful size anchor the plot — one currently used for storage but with obvious potential as a guesthouse conversion, ideal if you want to host friends without anyone sleeping on a f ... click here to read more

1 room vacation home at Kråkvik Ankaret 1 Trosa Trosa municipality

Early on a Saturday morning at Pålsundet 13, the only sounds are water lapping against the shared jetty and the occasional creak of a rowing boat shifting in the current. Stockholm feels very far away. It's actually 45 minutes by car. That contrast — the immediacy of real Swedish island life against the backdrop of a capital city just down the E4 — is what makes this place unusual. Mörkö isn't a resort. It's a working island with grazing cattle, gravel roads flanked by wildflowers in June, and a cultural landscape that locals have been quietly protecting for generations. Buying a holiday home here means buying into something genuine, not a sanitised version of rural Scandinavia. The property sits on Pålsundet, the strait that separates Mörkö from the mainland to the west. From the large windows of the living and dining area, the water is always in frame — the light shifting from silver-grey in April to a warm copper at midsummer sunset. You won't get bored of the view. It changes by the hour. The main house covers 65 square metres across three bedrooms, a practical kitchen, and that light-filled living space. The layout is efficient in the way that Swedish country homes often are — nothing wasted, everything considered. Three bedrooms means the house works for a family, a couple with regular guests, or two friends splitting a purchase. The kitchen is equipped with stove, oven, and refrigerator, and there's generous storage throughout, which matters when you're planning stays of more than a long weekend. The 1,500 square metre plot gives the house room to breathe, with mature trees and natural vegetation that means you're not looking directly into a neighbour's kitchen. But it's the outbuildings that really make this ... click here to read more

Main house and sea view

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 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
