Alright, let me give you a detailed rundown, as I would for any of my international clients–even if we all know how busy things can get in today’s market! This country home out in Linderöd, Bjärahallsvägen 41, is the kind of place I get a lot of questions about, especially from expats or foreign buyers looking to enjoy Swedish nature without being too far from the essentials. I’ll try to give you the most complete picture possible so you can make an informed decision, but I won’t sugar-coat it either; I know how important transparency is when you're buying property from overseas. So let’s start with the basics. Out here in Linderöd, Kristianstads kommun, in Skåne county, you’re looking at not just one but two separate houses on a huge lot (6,644 sqm). I know some buyers look for bigger main homes, these ones aren’t massive palaces–main house is 97 sqm and the second one is a little smaller, but you get the flexibility of having guest space, or even a unit for rental if you want a little extra income when you’re not in Sweden. Great option for multi-generational families, or just if you want your own space as a writer or working remote in peace. I’d say the overall condition is “good” – the houses have been used as holiday homes, so expect them to be practical rather than fancy. Not everything is new, but you won’t need to start from scratch. If you wanted to refresh the interiors, maybe you’d want to put in a new kitchen or paint some walls, but you’re not dealing with a full-on fixer. Solid bones, loads of daylight, and pretty smart layouts for the size. Electric heating, basic kitchen setups, standard bathroom (just one, but there’s room to get creative with the extra building), and ample bedrooms. Features: - Total ... click here to read more

Alright folks, here's a great oportunity. I've been runnig around showing homes left right and centre but honestly, country homes in Sweden like this hardly pop up and they always get snatched up fairly quickley, especially by those of you searching internationally for that dream summer escape in the Swedish countryside. I get lots of enquires from foreign buyers looking for something with space, a bit of privacy, and that proper countryside vibe – Svedlunds väg 1 near Lake Tisaren really hits those boxes for a good price, so let me lay it out for you while I'm between calls. So, this property is situated just outside Hallsberg, in the little area of Tisarbaden, very close to Lake Tisaren. Sweden itself is obviously known for beutiful forests and clean nature, but this area is kind of hidden away, so it’s not swarmed with tourists—you can actually enjoy some peace and quiet. Local life here is quite relaxed, you’ve got friendly neighbours but not too close, and there's a real mix of holiday cottages and permanent residents. People here keep to themselves but are always happy to lend a hand if you need to borrow a tool or need tips about fishing in the lake. The lake is a huge draw, just around 150 meters from the house, so honestly if you love swimming, paddleboarding, kayakking or just want to lounge by the water during the long Swedish summer days, this is really the perfect spot. For the fishing fans, there’s even fishing rights—including crayfish if you like those (just need to follow local regs). The boat mooring is included, which is quite handy, as gliding out on the mirror-calm lake early mornings is what owning a place like this is all about. Let me walk you through the property itself. It's not a big house – ... click here to read more

Alright, I’ll try to squeeze this in between all my other showings today! If you’re searching for a country home in Sweden, I’ve got something interesting here in Bräcke, Gällö area—Dalhem 166 to be exact. I work with buyers from all over so I’ll try to give you a real idea of what it’s like to live in the middle of the Swedish countryside (honestly, you can’t call yourself a global agency agent if you haven’t seen all kinds of properties in all sorts of conditions, but this one’s nice, no need for too much daydreaming). Let’s start with the basics: You’re looking at a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home at around 58 square meters. The price? 48,100 euros, which is almost impossible to beat for a spot in Sweden with this much land (almost 3,000 sqm, seriously!). This house was built in the ’70s and is in good condition—no major fixes needed, but if you want shiny new kitchens and all that, you may want to put your own mark on it with some updates. For what it is, the place is tidy, dry and super usable as a “brukshus” (as Swedes call it—a practical cottage for living). You’ll find lots of those iconic wooden finishes here. As you step in, you’ll notice it has that open layout that makes it easy for the family to gather, but remember, this is a Swedish countryside house so don’t expect endless designer open-plan space—what you get is cozy and manageable. The main room is where you’ll likely spend your time in the chilly months; there’s a wood fireplace, and yes, it does heat up the space well. Sweden has real winter—don’t underestimate that! The bathroom is compact, simple, but works fine. The kitchen’s got all the essentials, nothing extravagant, but all in order and ready for daily use. There are 2 bedrooms, both with enough ... 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

Ok, let me tell you a bit about this country home I’ve just got in my books recently here in Almåsa, Malmö – address Cyklamengatan 11. I’ll try to be quick since I got a few showings lined up for later today, but if you got questions, just reach out. I do a lot of deals with expats and people moving from abroad, so I’ll explain some good local info too – always important when buying in an area you don’t know. Let me paint you a picture of the property. It’s actually a nice, ready-to-live-in countryside cottage (not too big, just around 50m2), that’s been fixed up so you don’t have to tackle big renovations after moving in. That’s a relief considering how busy everyone is these days. There isn’t anything major left to do unless you want to personalize the space, which lots of buyers like to do anyway. The home dates back to ’69 so it has that genuine Swedish countryside feel but it’s been updated nicely, so it won’t feel like a time capsule. What I’m seeing more and more with buyers from other countries is the wish for authentic style but without broken pipes or drafty windows – I can say this place ticks those boxes, it’s what I’d call ‘good condition’ for Sweden. The guesthouse is a brilliant idea, whether you want the space for visitors or maybe an office, or just somewhere for teenagers to hang out away from you for a change. Here’s a quick list of what the property’s got (not everything, but the main things): - 3 bedrooms (including the separate guest cottage) - 1 bathroom with updated fixtures - Open plan living-dining-kitchen - Kitchen with basic appliances, ready to use - Renovated interior, bright and easy to maintain - Good natural light (big windows really make a difference) - Well-kept private garden, abou ... click here to read more

Alright, so thanks for your patience, I’m just quickly typing this up between showings—if you’re looking at this property and thinking about making Sweden your home, or just want a little escape in the countryside, let me walk you through what we’ve actually got here at Österäng Mickelstorp 1, right outside of Götene. I work with international buyers all the time and I totally get it, relocating to another country means you wanna know what kind of area you’re buying into, what the house REALLY needs, and whether the lifestyle fits. So, let’s get into it. We’re looking at a traditional Swedish country home, a real countryside cottage (the locals would call it a “torp”), standing since 1882, and honestly, it wears its history in a good way. The house is not huge—just 51 square meters, you’ve got basically one bedroom and one bathroom—but it’s perfect for someone (or a couple) wanting a manageable spot, maybe for holidays or even as a creative retreat if work-from-home is your thing. If you’re a small family, there’s possibility to sleep more in the living area (people make it work here, trust me). The property’s in good condition, not ultra-posh or anything, but you don’t walk in and think you need to rip everything out. The original wooden floors are solid, there’s that Falu red paint outside so you get the picture-postcard look, and both the kitchen and living room have fireplaces that still get used when it’s chilly—which it can be, Sweden isn’t the Mediterranean, right? Let me paint you a little picture on daily living: mornings in summer, you can open up the veranda doors, have your coffee on the wooden deck and maybe watch a neighbor’s cows in the next field. There’s a robotic lawnmower doing its job in the backg ... 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

Hi and thanks for clicking through! As a real estate agent constantly on the go, working with buyers from across the globe, I know how important it is to find that right property, especially if you're searching for a true getaway in Sweden's countryside. Let me tell you about this unique opportunity in Enhörna—I've had a ton of international clients ask about these kinds of homes lately, and this one really offers the best of both worlds. So, let’s set the scene—a genuine country_home/cottage, tucked away at Fågelsjön 23 in the leafy outskirts of Enhörna, which falls under Södertälje municipality. You’re looking at roughly a 30 square meter home, classic design, originally built in the 1960s. No bathroom or bedroom defined, but it’s a single room open-plan, so it really gives you flexibility for refurbishing the interior the way you want (people usually bring in compost toilets, or set up a simple wetroom in these kinds of summer cottages). The plot itself is actually pretty large by Swedish summer cottage standards, right around 1,000 square meters, and it’s a real mix of woods and clearings. There’s a bit of garden, couple of tall pines, birch—looks lovely in both summer and autumn, honestly, but it still needs a bit of work if you want to take it to that next level. Kids, pets, or anyone who likes a big open space to play or garden will appreciate it. I find international buyers are always surprised by just how peaceful these spots are—here you get total privacy, you’re not right on top of the neighbors (Swedes really like their own space). Even during holiday season it’s usually calm and quiet. The climate out here in Enhörna—Swedish summers are mild, around 20-25 degrees Celsius, long daylight hours (can still be ... click here to read more

Here’s my rewrite as a busy global real estate agent, focusing on overseas buyers, reflecting the property’s condition, lifestyle, and the local area, with purposeful minor errors in grammar and spelling, and using a story-like flow: ------------------------------------------------------- As a real estate agent working with buyers from all over the world, I want to give you a straightforward preview of this country home at Ryttarstigen 203, here in Långsand – just outside Skutskär, Sweden. I’ll be honest, I’m juggling a lot of clients these days, but this property really stand outs for buyers searching for that Swedish get-away – especially if you’re an expat or coming from overseas. The house is ready to move in but sure, it has some rooms to update, nothing too crazy though. Let me walk you through the lifestyle here and what the area’s all about, which is really important if you don’t know Sweden or this region yet. First off, Långsand is part of Älvkarleby kommun, about 10 min drive to Skutskär, pretty close to Gävle and an hour twenty-five to Stockholm for quick city visits. The area feels quiet but not remote, and is best for people who don’t mind a slower pace and appreciate a coastal feeling. This is a good choice if you want that country home atmosphere but don’t want to totally isolate yourself. The climate here is what you'd expect up north, with real seasons – snowy winters (nice for cross-country skiing and sauna life), pretty crisp spring and autumn, and summers that get a bit warm but not roasting, usually somewhere around 18-22 degrees C in July, and the long daylight is amazing in summer. Winters, again, get dark and colder (-5 or even lower sometimes), but Swedish houses are built for it. The prope ... click here to read more
