On a still July morning in Herräng, you crack the upstairs balcony door and the air comes in cool and pine-sharp, carrying the faint sound of someone rowing out past the rocks below. The apple trees in the garden are heavy. Coffee is already on. This is what owning a second home in Roslagen actually feels like — and Norra Kallbodavägen 82 is one of those rare finds that delivers it without compromise. Built in 1930 and thoroughly renovated to a standard that leaves nothing to the imagination, this two-bedroom country home sits on a private, elevated plot of 3,841 square meters in Bredsund, just outside Herräng village. The renovation was not cosmetic. Everything was addressed: roof, façade, electrical systems, plumbing, bathroom, kitchen, and interior surfaces. What remains is the original soul of a Swedish country house — its proportions, its timber character, its relationship to the land — now wrapped in a level of comfort you can move into without a single weekend of DIY. The kitchen was finished in a soft sage green and has real workspace, not just the illusion of it. There's room for a proper dining table, which matters when you're feeding guests after a long day on the water. The bathroom next door is fully tiled, fitted with a shower, and plumbed for a washing machine — practical details that international owners especially appreciate. Upstairs, the house opens into a central living area that connects the two bedrooms, both capable of fitting double beds, with a wood-burning stove anchoring the whole floor. On cold October weekends, when the birch trees outside turn and the archipelago empties out, that stove earns its place. The balcony off the upper level faces the sun through most of the day. In June, that m ... click here to read more

Six o'clock on a July evening. The sun is still high enough to throw long gold stripes across the southwest-facing terrace, your glass is cold, and the only sound drifting over the farmland is a distant tractor and the swallows cutting arcs above the garden. That's the rhythm of Utvedavägen 152 — and once you've felt it, city life stops making as much sense. Vätö is one of those places that Stockholmers have quietly kept to themselves for decades. The island sits within the greater Stockholm archipelago, connected to the mainland by the Vätö Bridge, close enough to the capital that a Friday afternoon drive gets you here before dinner, far enough that you genuinely leave the week behind. The community of Utveda, where this property sits, is the kind of place where the roads are narrow on purpose and the neighbors actually know each other. The house itself was built in 1973 and has been kept in good condition — solid, practical, honest Swedish construction that doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. Seventy-six square meters spread across three bedrooms and a full living-dining-kitchen setup. The layout is sensible rather than showy: a proper hallway that keeps the mud outside, a kitchen fully kitted with dishwasher, oven, stove, fridge, and a dedicated dining area big enough for a family gathering, and a bathroom with shower and WC that handles the realities of summer living without complaint. This is not a renovation project. Move in, open the windows, start living. What makes the property is the land around it. The corner plot runs to 2,229 square meters — in Swedish archipelago terms, that's genuinely generous. The garden opens out toward surrounding farmland, giving you sightlines that feel much bigger than the b ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a June morning at Skogsta 15 is the light. It hits the south-facing slope around five in the morning, floods through the glazed veranda, and turns the whole kitchen amber before anyone else in Hudiksvall is awake. The wood-burning stove is still warm from the night before. The coffee is on. Outside, the chickens in the old barn have started their morning racket. That's the kind of life this place makes possible. Set on 2.2 hectares of gently sloping land just six kilometres from central Hudiksvall in Sweden's Gävleborg County, this three-bedroom country home from 1940 sits on elevated ground surrounded by birch forest, open grass, and a working barn that's earned its keep through the decades. It's priced at €192,000 — a rare entry point for this much land and this much sky in coastal central Sweden. The house itself is 125 square metres across two floors, and it reads exactly as it should: solid, cared-for, practical without being cold. Walk through the front door and you land in a generous hallway — the kind where muddy boots and winter coats have their place. The kitchen has a proper island, a wood-burning stove for damp autumn days, and a full set of modern appliances including a dishwasher, oven, and extractor fan. It's not a kitchen you renovate; it's a kitchen you cook in. The living room on the ground floor has its own wood-burner and enough floor space for a real dining table, not an afterthought. A shower room with toilet and washbasin sits conveniently off the entrance level, and laundry facilities mean you don't have to choose between the countryside lifestyle and basic convenience. Upstairs, two bedrooms — one currently doing duty as a walk-in wardrobe — sit alongside an unfin ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the pine trees are already warm. The air smells like resin and salt — that particular mix you only get this close to the Swedish coast — and the path down to the water is a four-minute walk through the kind of quiet that cities cannot manufacture. This is Hammarskogsvägen 25 in Hammarskogen, a well-kept Swedish country home sitting on a generous 1,943 square metre plot in Norrtälje municipality, about 115 kilometres north of Stockholm. At 249,500 SEK, it is one of the more accessible entry points into the Swedish second home market. But the price is almost beside the point once you've spent a weekend here. The house itself was built in 1982, covers 70 square metres across two bedrooms and one bathroom, and carries its age well. The layout is honest and unpretentious — a living room with windows that pull in the afternoon light from the west, an open connection through to the kitchen that makes cooking feel like part of the social fabric of the home rather than a chore done in isolation. The kitchen has been updated with functional modern appliances and storage that actually works. Nothing about this space is overworked or fussy. It does what a Swedish summer house should do: it gets out of the way and lets the outdoors in. The master bedroom fits a double bed with room to spare. The second bedroom is versatile — it has served as a children's room, a reading room, a space for visiting friends — and there is something satisfying about a room that doesn't insist on being one thing. The bathroom is clean and practical, with a shower, toilet, and sink. Not glamorous. Perfectly sufficient. What really sets this property apart is the land. Nearly 2,000 square metres in Hammarskogen, dotted ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and the light in Södermanland at 6am is already golden and warm. You step out through the old wooden door of a 1909 torp, coffee in hand, and the only sounds are birdsong and a light wind moving through the birch trees at the edge of your land. The barn across the gravel road still has bunting from last night's midsommar party. That's the kind of morning this property delivers—not occasionally, but every time you show up. Mellösa-Näs Björktorp is a rare find in the Swedish countryside south of Flen, a genuine piece of rural Södermanland with soul intact. The main house is a classic Swedish torp dating from 1909, and it's been looked after the right way. Not ripped apart and modernized into something soulless—kept. Original pine floors, vintage hand-printed wallpapers, a tiled kakelugn in the sitting room, and a wood-burning stove that makes winter evenings here genuinely cozy rather than performatively rustic. Five rooms across 65 square metres: tight, yes, but Swedes have been doing a lot with compact spaces for centuries, and this layout is thoughtful. What sets this property apart from every other Swedish cottage listing, though, is the barn. Fully renovated, insulated, with solid flooring and oil radiators that make it usable in October just as comfortably as in July. The interior has been fitted with a proper dance floor and guest sleeping quarters—finished to a real standard, not a rough-and-ready conversion. Swedes who grow up in the countryside understand what this space means: it's where the crayfish parties run late into the August night, where a cousin's wedding happens under paper lanterns, where the neighbours come on a Friday in December for glögg and pi ... click here to read more

Early morning in Yxtaholm, the air smells like pine resin and cold lake water. You pull on a sweater, step off the wooden porch, and walk three minutes through a birch-lined path to Mellösasjön. Nobody else is there. The water is dark and clear. This is what you came for. Set on Kvarnmovägen in the well-loved recreational enclave of Yxtaholm, this 1970s Swedish sommarstuga sits on a generous 1,698 square metre plot in the heart of Södermanland — a region of glittering lakes, quiet forests, and red-painted farmhouses that feels like it exists slightly outside of time. At 109,500 SEK, this is a genuinely accessible entry point into the classic Swedish summer cottage lifestyle, the kind that Swedes have guarded jealously for generations. The cottage itself was built in 1975 and spans 48 square metres. That's not a limitation — it's a design philosophy. Swedish summer homes are meant to push you outside, and this one does exactly that. Inside, the layout is efficient and warm: a combined living room and kitchen that catches morning light through large windows overlooking the garden, one quiet bedroom tucked away from the main space, and a bathroom with shower. The kitchen has what you need to cook a proper meal — a crayfish dinner in August, a pot of soup on a rainy September afternoon — without the excess of a city apartment. A small guest cottage sits alongside the main house. Solid enough for a friend to sleep in, or useful as a tool store and overflow space for the kayak paddles and fishing rods that will inevitably accumulate. Practical Swedish pragmatism in a small wooden structure. The garden is the real story here. Nearly 1,700 square metres of it, mature trees throwing long shadows across mown grass in the late ... click here to read more

Front view of the holiday home

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in July, and you're sitting on a sun-warmed deck with a cup of coffee, watching a cormorant dry its wings on a rock twenty metres offshore. No road noise. No neighbours cutting their grass. Just the faint slap of water against the jetty below and the smell of pine warming up in the morning sun. That's what owning Risö 58 actually feels like. Getting here is part of the ritual. You drive down to Maltbacken — about fifteen minutes from Nyköping's centre — pull into your own reserved parking spot, hook up the car to the electric charger, and then step into the boat. A short crossing through the inner archipelago and you're tying up at your own dock. Every time. It never gets old. The property is made up of three separate structures arranged around a large south-facing deck that acts as the social hub of the whole place. The main cottage anchors everything — compact, efficient, with big windows on nearly every wall that track the light from morning to evening. A wood-burning stove sits in the living room and earns its keep from late August onwards, when the evenings start to cool and the archipelago takes on that particular golden-hour quality that photographers chase. The kitchen opens directly onto the deck, so whoever's cooking doesn't miss a thing — the conversation, the sunset, the kids jumping off the rocks below. Sleep eight to twelve people comfortably across the main cottage (which has a sleeping loft) and the two standalone guest cabins. The cabins are positioned with real thought — enough distance from the main building that guests get genuine privacy, and both are fitted with air-source heat pumps for heating and cooling. Light colours, simple finishes, and waking up to wat ... click here to read more

Main house and deck with sea view

Step off the boat and onto your own dock. The Bothnian Bay stretches out ahead of you, flat and silver in the morning light, and the only sounds are the cry of a common tern and the soft knock of your hull against the jetty. This is Finskören — a small island in the Nyborg archipelago just outside Kalix in northern Sweden — and once you've spent a weekend here, it's genuinely hard to leave. What makes this offering so rare is the scale of it. You're not buying a cabin. You're acquiring two separate houses on a 2,778-square-metre plot with a private marina, multiple outbuildings, and your own freshwater well — all on an island that feels a world away from everything, yet sits within comfortable reach of the E4 motorway and Luleå Airport, roughly 90 kilometres south. The main house, built in 1998, covers 65 square metres and was designed with the view firmly in mind. The open kitchen and living area faces the sea, and the windows are large enough that you track weather systems moving across the bay without stepping outside. Three bedrooms make it workable for a family; the layout is sensible rather than fussy, which is exactly what you want in a place where you'll spend more time outdoors than in. On a clear July evening — and northern Sweden gets a lot of those, with daylight that barely quits between May and August — the light through those windows turns the pine floors the colour of honey. The first guest cottage is 60 square metres and positioned close to the marina. It has a living room, a bedroom, a shower, and a traditional Swedish bastu. That sauna matters more than it might sound. Spending a September afternoon out on the water, then sweating it out in the bastu before a cold plunge off the dock — that's the rh ... click here to read more

Main house and guest cottages with sea view

Picture yourself on a sun-drenched terrace, coffee in hand, watching morning mist lift from the surrounding forest as birdsong fills the air. The scent of pine drifts through the garden while children play safely on the sprawling lawn, their laughter echoing across 4,500 square meters of private, tree-lined grounds. This is the reality of owning a vacation home in Hässelmara, a coveted corner of the Stockholm archipelago where modern life slows to the rhythm of nature, yet the capital's energy remains just 50 minutes away. This 70-square-meter single-story country home from 1950 embodies the essence of Swedish summer living that international buyers seek when searching for authentic Scandinavian holiday properties. Set at the end of a quiet road in Värmdö, the property combines the independence of island living with practical mainland accessibility, creating the perfect second home for families who crave both adventure and convenience. The Stockholm archipelago, with its 30,000 islands, skerries, and islets, represents one of Europe's most distinctive coastal landscapes, and this property positions you at the gateway to exploring this maritime wonderland. The main residence welcomes you with an open floor plan designed for the communal living that defines Swedish holiday culture. The country kitchen serves as the social hub, where long summer dinners stretch into midnight under the never-setting sun of Nordic June. Large windows frame views of the mature garden, bringing the outdoors in and flooding rooms with natural light during the extended daylight hours of Swedish summers. The connected dining area accommodates gatherings of eight or more, perfect for hosting fellow travelers, local friends, or extended family who ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping out onto a covered terrace as dawn breaks over Lake Borkasjön, coffee in hand, watching morning mist rise from the water just 100 meters away. The silence is profound, broken only by birdsong from the surrounding spruce and birch forest. This is your new reality in Borkan, Kittelfjäll—a 4-bedroom country home perched in Swedish Lapland's most sought-after mountain region, where 2,030 square meters of private forest land becomes your personal gateway to Scandinavia's outdoor paradise. Nestled at the edge of wilderness yet just 10 minutes from Kittelfjäll's renowned ski slopes, this mountain retreat solves the classic vacation home dilemma: complete seclusion without sacrificing accessibility. The property comprises a main 62-square-meter cabin plus a separate guest house, collectively sleeping 12-14 people—making it the rare Swedish mountain property that accommodates extended family gatherings, friend reunions, or generates substantial rental income during peak ski season when Kittelfjäll becomes one of Northern Europe's most desirable winter destinations. The heart of this vacation home is its light-filled living room, where vaulted ceilings and windows facing three directions flood the space with that distinctive Nordic brightness that makes even February afternoons feel welcoming. The wood-burning stove anchors the room—not merely decorative but a functional heating source that transforms cold evenings into cozy gatherings where everyone naturally gravitates toward its warmth. The integrated kitchen design means the chef never misses conversation, a crucial detail for vacation properties where cooking becomes communal entertainment rather than solitary work. But the property's true showsto ... click here to read more

Allright, so let’s walk you through this place, I have to say, as a busy estate agent, I come across a lot of properties in Uppsala, but this one here at Bellisvägen 238 in Tunabackar stands out if you're looking to try life in Sweden, especially if you're an overseas buyer or an expat dreaming about that little house with a big garden. And before I get too busy with my next viewing, here’s the real story about this cottage: what you see is what you get, no extra polish, no glamour, but loads of genuine Swedish allotment-living potential. So, this is a cozy allotment house, about 30 square meters, so we're not talking about a large villa, but a snug place maybe for a single person, a couple, or even someone with a young child who wants that proper garden life. It's not a modern city flat; it's a real house, built in 1948, has its years, but it's been kept up by people who cared for it. The price, SEK 69,500, reflects both the unique lifestyle and the fact you’re buying into a community and a bit of Swedish summer life, not just four walls. When you first enter, you walk up a traditional veranda—a Swedish "punch veranda", small but enough that you want to kick off your boots and leave the worries of the city behind. It gets good sunlight through the windows, which is always a big plus here when winter sometimes seems a bit too long. Inside, you've got a living room that doesn’t try to pretend it’s grander than it is. It’s open, with a fireplace—a really nice touch, but you'll need to get that inspected if you want to use it. I’ve got to be honest, this isn’t a place for big dinner parties, but it’s just right for quiet evenings in. The kitchen is pretty functional, with a fridge/freezer, stove, oven, good cabinets.
