Description

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Swedish countryside, just outside the charming little town of Hjo, lies Kaggestorp Furulund, a quaint country home that beckons to those in search of tranquility and connection with nature. This lovely property offers a serene retreat for anyone yearning to escape the hustle and bustle. It stands amidst a sprawling 9-hectare estate, where the expanse of lush greenery lends itself to a truly pastoral lifestyle.

Imagine waking up to the sound of gentle rustling leaves and chirping birds, a uniquely peaceful experience one can only find in such a countryside haven. Kaggestorp Furulund boasts a 1 1/2-story residential building that seamlessly encapsulates cozy rural living, intertwined with the comforts of modern amenities. As you step inside, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms. For those with bigger family dreams, there is a possibility of converting spaces to create a third bedroom, offering flexibility for growing families or creative projects.

The property features not just one, but two well-maintained bathrooms, ensuring that comfort is always at the forefront. A recently renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, a space designed for catching up with loved ones over a hearty meal or experimenting with fresh local produce. The kitchen is not just functional but an inviting spot to test your culinary skills or simply unwind with a cup of Nordic coffee.

Stepping outside, the patio greets you with its inviting atmosphere, perfect for lazy afternoons and vibrant conversations as the sun sets on the horizon. Picture yourself lounging here, engulfed in the beauty of natural surroundings, with a refreshing drink in hand. The natural surroundings make it perfect for barbecues during the pleasant Swedish summer, characterized by long daylight hours and mild temperatures.

For the green thumbs among us, the garden plot offers a greenhouse, where you can flex your gardening skills or simply relish the joys of watching nature flourish. It’s an oasis for those who find contentment among blooming plants and tranquil greenery. There is also a woodshed with storage and a cozy guest room, offering the perfect spot to host family and friends who come to soak in the beauty of the Swedish countryside.

The property caters well to those who possess a penchant for animal husbandry or are simply in need of functional utility spaces. An impressive machine hall spans 128 square meters, providing ample space for machinery and storage needs. Nearby, a thoughtfully constructed stable includes four boxes, a tack room, and a technical room. This makes it an ideal setting for raising horses, with abundant land for them to graze and an environment that promotes their well-being. In addition, there's a spacious manure slab for efficient waste management.

Hjo, the charming town nearby, offers plenty to do for residents and visitors alike. Known for its historical wooden buildings and proximity to Lake Vättern, the town provides a variety of leisure activities. Explore local markets featuring fresh local produce or take a leisurely stroll through tree-lined parks. When the weather is favorable, which it often is during the summers here, the beaches of Lake Vättern become a popular family destination.

Living in this corner of Sweden is akin to stepping into a serene painting, where every season brings its unique palette. Winters are cozy and hearty with crisp snow while spring unveils a verdant landscape filled with life. As an expat, you’ll quickly find the local community to be welcoming and the pace of life refreshingly unhurried. The rural tranquility and a strong sense of community offer a perfect setting for families and individuals seeking a change from urban environments.

Whether you are planning to cultivate the land, nurture a budding family, or simply escape to a quieter lifestyle, this property provides the endless possibility of making that dream a reality.

If a slower, more peaceful way of life is what you seek, Kaggestorp Furulund awaits you. Don't let this chance pass by. Take it as a canvas, where you can sketch your ideas and paint your dreams, waiting for you to explore its generous offerings of land, tranquility, and the gentle embrace of nature.

The alarm doesn't go off here. You wake up because the light does — a low Arctic gold sliding across the water at 5am in July, spilling through the bedroom window of the main cottage while the rest of the island is still quiet. Grab a coffee, walk twenty steps to the dock, and watch a pike break the surface of Bäckfjärden. That's the morning. Every morning. This is an island property in the Skellefteå archipelago, about 40 kilometers from the city center, and it is one of the most complete turnkey holiday retreats you will find anywhere in northern Sweden. Complete is the right word — the boat is included, the furniture stays, and the mainland garage with a private dock is part of the deal. You arrive, you unpack, and you start living. The main cottage sits at roughly 90 square meters, used across most of the year rather than just a short summer window, which tells you something important about how it's built. A 2024 air-source heat pump handles the shoulder seasons efficiently, backed up by two wood-burning stoves that turn October evenings into something you actually look forward to. Radiators throughout mean you're not chasing warmth from room to room. The windows have been swapped out gradually over the past 15 years for maintenance-free units — small detail, big difference when you're an owner who isn't always on-site. Step outside and the property keeps going. A separate guest cottage of around 20 square meters has its own kitchenette and a south-facing terrace, which means visiting family members get genuine privacy rather than a fold-out sofa situation. Two insulated cabins — friggebodar in Swedish, each around 10 square meters and both wired for electricity — handle the overflow: a teenage kid who wants their ... click here to read more

Main house and garden

Close your eyes and picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and golden light is already streaming through the conservatory glass at half past five. You're holding a mug of coffee, watching a roe deer pick its way across the meadow at the edge of the garden. The birch trees are doing that thing they do in a Swedish summer — practically glowing. This is Norrhenninge 47, a three-bedroom country home on a 2,566 square metre plot in Edsbro, and mornings like that one come with the keys. Edsbro sits in Norrtälje municipality, deep in the Roslagen coastal region northeast of Stockholm — an area that Stockholmers have been escaping to for well over a century. And with good reason. The landscape here is classic uppland: rolling farmland, pine and birch forest stitched together, glittering lakes never more than a few kilometres away. It doesn't shout for attention. It just quietly holds you. The house itself was built in 1977 and sits on elevated ground, which gives the whole property a sense of openness you don't often find at this price. Sixty-one square metres inside is compact but genuinely well-planned — the kind of layout where nothing feels wasted. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room, both practically and emotionally. Light a fire on a grey October evening, pour something from a local Roslagen brewery, and you'll understand immediately why Swedes talk about the concept of mys with such conviction. It's not hygge's Swedish cousin — it's its own thing entirely, and this house was built for it. The conservatory is the real seasonal wildcard. Enclosed and glass-fronted, it extends the usable living space for a much longer stretch of the year than you'd expect. In May, when the mornings are still sharp bu ... click here to read more

61 m² Holiday Home at Norrhenninge 47 Edsbro Norrtälje municipality - image 1

At five in the morning in late June, the Gulf of Bothnia goes completely still. The light at Kalvarsskatan doesn't arrive so much as it reveals itself — a slow amber spill across the water that starts around 3am and just keeps going. Standing on the private jetty at this 1-bedroom holiday home in Hörnefors, coffee in hand, you realize this is a kind of quiet that most people only read about. This is Västerbotten, and it earns every superlative Swedes save for their most beloved places. The property at Kalvarsskatan 5 sits directly by the sea on a freehold plot of 1,478 square meters, with the treeline of the boreal forest pressing in close behind the house and open water stretching out in front. The main house — compact, practical, built in 1970 and kept in good condition by careful owners — measures 38 square meters of honest living space. One bedroom, one bathroom, and an open kitchen that flows into the living room without pretense. The layout isn't grand. It doesn't need to be. The large windows do most of the work, pulling the sea inside and making the room feel three times its size on a bright Norrland summer day. The terrace off the main house is where mornings actually happen. Birch pollen on the breeze in May, the smell of pine warming up in July sun, frost-crisped air and aurora discussions over a late October schnapps. The terrace faces the water and gets the kind of exposure that means you're outside more than you planned every single visit. The guest cottage is separate — genuinely useful, not a marketing afterthought. It gives visiting family actual privacy, or frees up the main house for a couple while children pile into their own space. Some buyers will use it as a studio or a gear room for kayaks, fi ... click here to read more

On a clear July morning at Solfältsvägen 2, the first thing you hear is water. Not traffic, not neighbors — water, and the occasional low horn of an Åland ferry carving its way through the Stockholm archipelago somewhere out beyond the treeline. You're sitting on a wide timber deck with coffee going cold in your hand because you keep getting distracted. That's Dyvik. It does that to people. This single-story country home sits on a genuinely generous 2,730-square-meter plot in Dyvik, within Österåkers kommun — one of the few remaining pockets of the Stockholm archipelago where you can still find a freehold property at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage on your first home. The house itself is compact at 25 square meters of living space, but the way it's been used is clever. A hallway that doubles as a sleeping nook, an open-plan kitchen and living room that draws light from multiple windows, and a ceiling that runs all the way up to the roof ridge — making the interior feel considerably larger than the floor plan suggests. The fireplace insert is the kind of feature that earns its keep in early September, when the Swedish archipelago does that particular trick of dropping ten degrees between lunchtime and sundown. Light it at six, and by the time dinner's ready the whole room has that amber, wood-smoke warmth that's basically impossible to replicate any other way. The kitchen runs alongside it — fridge, freezer, dishwasher, gas stove — plus a wood-burning stove that sits in the corner and makes the whole cooking experience feel like something out of a Carl Larsson painting, but without the inconvenience of living in one. Outside is where this property really opens up. The deck is large enough to hold a full ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells like pine resin and salt water. The meadow at the edge of the plot is still damp with dew, a heron stands motionless somewhere beyond the treeline, and the only sound is the soft creak of the conservatory door as it swings open. This is what owning a holiday home in the Sankt Anna archipelago actually feels like—and once you've had it, a city apartment never quite satisfies again. Built in 2009 on a generous corner plot of 2,352 square meters just outside Valdemarsvik in Sweden's Östergötland county, this two-bedroom country home is the kind of place that rewards you differently in every season. The address is Varphagen Ermedal 5, and it sits at the quiet inland edge of one of Scandinavia's most celebrated coastal wilderness areas. Priced at 169,500 EUR, it's a realistic entry point into a corner of Sweden that still feels genuinely unspoiled. The interior is compact but well thought out. At 70 square meters, the house doesn't waste a single square meter. The open-plan living room and kitchen anchors the ground floor with a soaring ceiling that pulls light down from above and makes the space feel far larger than the footprint suggests. A wood-burning stove sits at the center of it all—come September, when the archipelago evenings cool down fast, you'll understand exactly why it was put there. Large glass sections open the living room directly onto the terrace, so in summer the line between inside and outside simply dissolves. You cook with the door open. You eat outside until ten at night because the Swedish summer light won't let the sky go dark. The glazed conservatory is a serious bonus. It adds usable space across almost the full shoulder seasons—May, August, late ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home

Step outside on a Saturday morning in Sättra By and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not an uncomfortable silence — the kind that actually has texture. Wind moving through birch trees. A woodpecker somewhere in the treeline. The faint crackle of a fire you're about to light in the pizza oven before lunch. This is Roslagen, a stretch of Swedish countryside northeast of Stockholm that Swedes themselves quietly consider one of the most liveable corners of the country. And this three-bedroom country home on Saxenvägen 75 sits right in the middle of it. The property dates to 1965 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — not flipped and photographed, but actually cared for. At 67 square metres, it's compact in the best sense: every room earns its place, nothing is wasted, and the layout flows naturally between the open living and dining area, the functional kitchen, and the three bedrooms tucked away from the main living spaces. Large windows face the garden, which means the inside of the house is full of green light most of the day. In summer, the boundary between indoors and out practically dissolves. The wood-fired sauna is one of those features that sounds like a nice extra until you've actually used it in late October, when the air outside has that particular sharp coldness and the birches have gone gold. Panoramic windows face the forest — you're not staring at a fence, you're watching the trees. After a long drive up from the city, or an afternoon of paddling on one of the nearby lakes, this is where the week resets itself. Right beside it sits the custom-built pizza oven, which sounds indulgent until you realize it becomes the social core of every weekend gathering. Friends arrive Friday evening, som ... click here to read more

You wake up to absolute quiet. Not the muffled silence of a city apartment with double glazing doing its best — actual quiet, broken only by a wood pigeon somewhere in the birches and the distant smell of salt air drifting in from the Baltic. That's the morning at Orranäs 443. It takes about thirty seconds to remember why you bought this place. Set on a generous 1,535-square-meter plot along the coastal stretch between Torhamn and Kristianopel in Sweden's Blekinge county, this 1935-built country home has been thoughtfully updated into something genuinely liveable across all four seasons. It's a proper house — 104 square meters over two floors, three bedrooms, a modernised bathroom, a real kitchen — not a summer shack with a camp stove and a prayer. The winterisation is done right, which matters more than people realise until their first November in coastal Sweden. The ground floor sets the tone immediately. A wide kitchen with a dedicated dining area runs along the back of the house, large windows pulling in the light that Blekinge gets in abundance from May through September. You can sit at the table with a cup of coffee and look out over the open fields while someone else starts breakfast. That kind of morning becomes a habit fast. The kitchen has modern appliances and storage that actually works — no squeezing condiments into impossible corners. The adjacent living room is the kind of space that earns its square footage, comfortable enough for a rainy Tuesday in October and sociable enough for eight people with wine glasses on a midsummer Saturday. The bathroom on the ground floor was recently renovated and shows it: clean lines, modern fixtures, no compromises. Upstairs, three bedrooms each look out over countrysi ... click here to read more

Step out onto the deck at seven in the morning, coffee in hand, and the only sounds are birdsong and the faint lap of water from Lake Fåsjön through the trees. That's the daily reality at Boviksvägen 5 — a winterized country home in Sweden's Bergslagen region that earns its keep in every season, not just the postcard ones. Nora Municipality sits about 190 kilometers west of Stockholm, deep in the forested heartland of Örebro County. People who discover this pocket of Sweden tend to stay loyal to it. The landscape is classic Swedish countryside — mixed pine and birch forest, mirror-flat lakes, red timber houses glimpsed along gravel roads — but Nora itself punches above its weight. The wooden town center is one of the best-preserved in the country, with cobbled lanes, 19th-century merchant houses, and the kind of ice cream parlor (Noras GB Glassbar, if you're asking) that generates genuine local debate about flavor rankings. It's about a 20-minute drive from the property. The house sits on Boviksvägen, a quiet road that hugs the eastern shore of Lake Fåsjön. At 68 square meters, the main building is honest about what it is: a well-planned single-story retreat where the hallway, living room, and kitchen flow into one another without fuss. Built in 1990 and kept in good condition since, it reads airy rather than small, largely because the windows are generous and positioned to pull in the surrounding green. Two bedrooms sit toward the rear — calm, properly sized rooms suited for sleeping deeply in a way that town apartments rarely allow. The bathroom is shared, which is standard for a house this size, and it works. Beyond the interiors, a glazed veranda extends the livable space into the colder shoulder months, letting yo ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first — pine resin warming in the morning sun, a faint trace of lake water carried on the breeze from Mälaren. You're standing on the south-facing patio at Gäddvägen 35, coffee in hand, watching light fracture across the water through the birch trees, and it takes about four minutes to feel like you've been here your whole life. That's the kind of place Märsön is. Märsön is a small island just outside Enköping, roughly 75 kilometres west of Stockholm. Not famous, not overrun with summer tourists, not the subject of glossy weekend magazine spreads. That's exactly the point. The people who find their way here tend to come back year after year, eventually buying a little red house with a garden, a rowboat, and a long list of nothing urgent to do. This two-bedroom holiday home on Gäddvägen is the kind of property those people fight over when it finally comes to market. The plot itself covers 1,575 square metres — a genuinely generous footprint on an island where land this size doesn't come up often. There's a mature garden with room to grow tomatoes, set up a badminton net, or simply leave as the slightly wild green sanctuary it already is. The patio catches sun from mid-morning right through to evening, which in Swedish summer means you're outside until past nine o'clock, long after the light turns that particular shade of gold that makes everyone reach for their phone cameras. Inside, the 67-square-metre main house is single-storey and well laid out. Four rooms — living area, two bedrooms, and a flexible fourth space that works as a home office, a bunk room for kids, or a proper guest room depending on the week's visitors. The kitchen was renovated in 2017 and still feels fresh: clean cabinetry, funct ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in late June, and you're sitting on the south-facing patio at Långedal 18 with a cup of coffee going cold because you keep getting distracted by the way the light moves across the granite outcrops in the distance. No agenda. The nearest sound is birdsong and, faintly, the buzz of a lawnmower two plots over. The Swedish west coast has this particular quality of stillness that people who've experienced it never stop talking about — and this property sits right inside it. Långedal 18 is a two-bedroom country home on a generous 1,981 square meter plot in Tanums kommun, roughly five and a half kilometers from the center of Fjällbacka. It's in good condition throughout and genuinely move-in ready, with a practical layout that makes sense for both short summer stays and longer stretches when you don't want to leave. The main house covers 86 square meters across three rooms and a kitchen — two proper bedrooms, an open living and dining space that pulls in light through wide windows, and a sleeping alcove off the living area that works brilliantly as overflow for guests, a reading corner, or a spot for kids who refuse to go to sleep before the midnight sun does. The kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living space, which is the right call for a property like this. Summer on the Bohuslän coast is social. People drift in and out, someone's always cooking, someone else is opening wine. You want a space that handles that without feeling cramped, and this one does. Outside is where Långedal 18 really earns its place. The plot is expansive by any standard — nearly 2,000 square meters of garden, with multiple patios positioned to catch the sun at different points through the day. Morning c ... click here to read more

On a still August evening, the smell of woodsmoke drifts through an open window while the bells of Lohärad Church — standing just across the lane since the 1200s — ring out across open farmland. That's your Tuesday. That's just a Tuesday here. This three-bedroom country cottage on Lohäradsvägen, set along a quiet rural road about 15 minutes outside Norrtälje and roughly 50 minutes from central Stockholm, is the kind of place that rewires your relationship with time. It's compact at 35 sqm of registered living space — the low ceiling height on the upper floor accounts for that number, while the actual floor area is meaningfully larger — but the property itself sprawls across a 3,040 sqm flat plot filled with apple trees, raspberry thickets, a 15 sqm greenhouse on a timber deck, an earth cellar, a carpenter's workshop, and a newly completed guest house. Small footprint. Big life. The main cottage, known locally as a torp, traces its roots to the early 1800s, and the current owner has renovated it with the kind of attention that most people only talk about: period-appropriate materials, historically sourced pigments, a new wood-burning stove from Josef Davidssons Idun fitted into the traditional kitchen. The fireplace insert in the living room draws you in on grey October afternoons. Upstairs, two bedrooms sit under sloping ceilings that give the whole upper floor the feeling of sleeping inside a ship's hull — not cramped, just close. A chamber off the living room works as a third sleeping space or a quiet reading room. The veranda at the front catches the morning sun. One of the genuinely rare features of this property: private fishing rights over a 560 sqm stretch of Lake Erken. Crayfish fishing. In Sweden, that is not ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Bölsnäs 59 is the light. It comes off Lake Möckeln in long, flat ribbons, cuts straight through those big south-facing windows, and lands on the wooden floor before you've even made coffee. By 7am, if you pull on a jacket and walk the 200 meters down to the sandy beach, the water is still glassy. No motorboats yet. Just a heron standing at the edge of the pier, doing what herons do. That's the kind of place this is. This small, single-storey cottage in Liatorp sits on a 1,006-square-meter plot with Lake Möckeln practically in the backyard. The house itself is 20 square meters — tight, yes, but cleverly planned. The main room does everything: sitting, sleeping, sheltering you from the rain while the south-facing patio outside handles the rest of life in warmer months. Large windows keep the interior from ever feeling closed in. The covered terrace at the entrance means your morning coffee routine stays intact even on the grey, drizzly August days that occasionally roll through Småland. On the gable end, the south-facing patio is where summer actually happens. It catches the afternoon sun fully, and with Lake Möckeln framing the view, it's the sort of spot where a meal that was supposed to take an hour stretches into three. The 1,006-square-meter plot gives you room to work with — a vegetable patch, a hammock strung between two birches, a fire pit for the evenings when the temperature drops and the sky turns the colour of a bruised plum. A separate outbuilding fitted with a composting (Separett) toilet keeps things practical without cluttering the main space. It works. The property was built in 1948 and has been kept in good condition throughout — move in the same weeke ... click here to read more

Picture waking up on a frost-sharp October morning, the tiled stove already ticking with warmth, steam rising from a mug of coffee as you look out through the glazed conservatory at the still water of the Ljungan River catching the first pale Scandinavian light. The horses are already at the fence. This is not a weekend fantasy — it is a Tuesday in Nedansjö, and it can be yours. Hemgraven 128 sits in the Ljungan valley about 25 minutes west of Sundsvall, in a corner of central Sweden that most international buyers haven't discovered yet — which is precisely why it matters. The property is large, genuinely versatile, and soaked in the kind of regional history that no developer can manufacture. It started life as the steward's house on the estate built by industrialist Bünsow in the late 19th century, the same man who financed the railway between Sundsvall and Torpshammar, established an ironworks and a pulp mill at Hemgraven, and essentially built an entire self-sustaining community from scratch, complete with shops, workers' housing, and even a toy factory. The area was enclosed — outsiders had to ask permission to enter. Today that same sense of a world unto itself is what makes the property so compelling. At 146 square metres, the main house gives you five rooms and a kitchen arranged with the practical logic that Swedish country homes developed over generations. Two classic tiled stoves — kakelugnar, if you want the Swedish word — anchor the principal rooms. They work. They radiate a dry, even heat that a radiator simply cannot replicate, and they look the way old things should look: solid, slightly imposing, quietly beautiful. The geothermal heat pump handles the bulk of winter heating with minimal running costs, s ... click here to read more

You wake up before anyone else in the house. The sun is already high — it's July, and this far north of the Arctic Circle, it barely dips below the horizon. You pull on a fleece, step outside onto the lot, and walk the forty-odd meters down to the edge of Lake Kusträsket. The water is glass. A pike rolls near the reeds. You have nowhere to be. That's the reality of owning a place at Kusträsk 34. This 60-square-meter timber holiday home sits on a generous 2,190 square meter plot in the Boden municipality of Norrbotten County, built in 2007 from solid log construction that keeps the interior cool in summer and retainable-warm through the brutally cold Swedish winters. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate hygiene cottage with a traditional sauna, and fiber-optic broadband that runs fast enough to handle a video call or a Netflix evening when the weather turns. It's the kind of property that covers every real need without overcomplicating anything. The open-plan living and dining area is the social core of the cabin. Wide windows face the forest and the lake — not a curated view through a narrow frame, but a proper wide look at the spruce canopy and the water beyond. The natural pine interior does something good to the light in here; everything takes on a warm amber tone by late afternoon. Cook, eat, play cards at the table, watch the weather roll in across the lake. The kitchen is set up for proper cooking, not just reheating — and after a morning out on the water pulling in perch, that matters. Local anglers smoke their catch over alder wood, a tradition worth learning quickly. The sauna is the detail that separates a Swedish cabin from every other rural property in Europe. This one sits in its own separate structure ... click here to read more

Early on a Saturday morning in late August, you step outside with a coffee and the air smells of pine resin and wet grass. The fruit trees at the far end of the garden are heavy with apples. Nobody else is awake yet. That's the kind of quiet that Sunnersbol 72 delivers — not the forced stillness of a spa weekend, but the genuine, unhurried pace of Swedish countryside life. Sitting in Uppsala kommun, roughly halfway between the university city of Uppsala and the small market town of Alunda, this 1976-built country home sits on a plot of nearly 3,000 square meters — almost three-quarters of an acre — that gives you room to breathe in a way that most European second homes simply can't match at this price point. At 149,500 SEK, this is one of the more accessible entry points into Swedish rural property ownership you'll find, and the combination of move-in condition, outbuildings with genuine conversion potential, and that sweeping plot makes it worth a very serious look. The house itself is compact and honest — 50 square meters of classic Swedish timber construction, painted in the kind of deep, earthy tones you see on farmhouses all across Uppland. Wooden floors run through the main rooms, the kitchen is functional and well-maintained, and large windows pull in light from multiple angles throughout the day. In a building this size, light matters enormously, and whoever designed this one got that right. The flexible internal layout — three to four rooms plus kitchen — means a couple can spread out comfortably, or a small family can make it work through the summer months with the bedrooms and living space reconfigured to suit. What makes this property genuinely interesting, though, is what sits outside the main house. Ther ... click here to read more

On a still July morning in Långvreten, the first thing you notice is the silence. Not the absence of sound, but the right kind of sound — wood pigeons in the birch canopy, a distant lawnmower two plots over, the soft creak of a garden chair. By eight o'clock, the sun has already been up for hours. That's the Swedish summer for you. Jädravägen 10 sits on a 2,828-square-metre plot in Bro, Upplands-Bro municipality, about 40 kilometres northwest of Stockholm. It's a 1969 timber cottage that one family has quietly looked after for over five decades. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, 48 square metres of living space inside — and then a vast, tree-lined garden that does most of the real living for you. This is the kind of Swedish vacation home that doesn't exist in brochures because families hold onto them for generations. When one finally comes available, you pay attention. The interior keeps its original bones intact. Low ceilings. Wood-panel walls in that particular warm ochre that 1960s Swedish cottages seem to own. A fireplace in the living room that becomes the social centre of the house the moment September arrives and the evenings cool fast. The kitchen is compact and functional — there's a rhythm to cooking here, the way you plan meals around what's at the local shop in Kungsängen rather than having everything delivered to your door. It changes how you eat, and usually for the better. Three bedrooms means room for kids, grandparents, or that one friend who always lingers into the following week. A note worth knowing upfront: the bathroom currently has a composting toilet and no running water connection to the mains. This is common in older Swedish fritidshus and entirely manageable as a warm-season property, which is p ... click here to read more

Front view of the holiday home

The ferry from Näsbyviken takes about four minutes. Four minutes, and the mainland's noise is already somewhere else — behind you, irrelevant. You step onto Ringsö carrying nothing but a bag of groceries and whatever you couldn't leave at the office, and by the time you've walked the pine-lined path up to the red-painted house at Ringsöringen 175, the second thing has already dissolved too. That's the honest sell for this place. Not the square footage, not the buzzwords. It's that specific, almost unfair feeling of arriving somewhere that immediately makes your shoulders drop. Ringsö sits in Lake Mälaren, Sweden's third-largest lake and one of Scandinavia's most underrated waterways. The island belongs to Strängnäs municipality, and if you're approaching from Stockholm, you're looking at roughly an hour by car — take the E20 west and follow signs toward Strängnäs, then wind down through Stallarholmen to catch the water crossing. Strängnäs itself is worth knowing: a cathedral town with roots in the Viking age, a medieval old quarter, and the kind of weekly Saturday market on Rådhustorget where you can stock up on fresh-smoked fish, cloudberry jam, and sourdough before heading back to the island. The town is genuinely liveable, not just a tourist backdrop. The property sits on a 2,252 square metre plot — generous by any measure for an island setting. The main house comes in at 36 square metres on the ground floor, which sounds compact until you're inside and realise how well the space has been thought through. A proper kitchen, a living room with windows that pull in long Swedish afternoon light, one bedroom, a bathroom with shower and an eco-friendly Separett composting toilet. Above, a sleeping loft adds another 10 sq ... click here to read more

Wake up to the sound of nothing. Not silence exactly — there's the soft lap of water against the shore fifty metres away, a woodpecker somewhere in the birches, and if it's early enough on a summer morning, the mist still sitting low over Mungasjön. That's the first thing you notice at this 1800s log cabin in Munga, a small community just outside Västerås where people still leave their doors unlocked and wave at strangers on the gravel road. This is a genuine country home vacation property in Sweden, not a weekend renovation project or a lifestyle concept. The main cabin, roughly 75 square metres, started life in Dalarna — the heartland of Swedish rural architecture — and was relocated to this woodland plot in 1965. The logs have had sixty years to settle into the land. They look like they grew here. Step inside and the floors are solid pine, wide-planked and warm underfoot even in autumn. The ceiling beams are exposed and chunky. The open fireplace isn't decorative; it's where everyone ends up after a long day of swimming or foraging in the forest behind the property. The kitchen has its own wood-burning stove, which means two independent heat sources before you've even thought about the covered terrace — which has its own fireplace too, facing the lake. Three fires for a 75-square-metre house. That tells you something about the priorities of whoever built this place. The modernisation has been done without apology or excess. Fibre-optic internet was installed because working remotely from a lakeside cabin in Sweden is, frankly, a legitimate life choice. The bathroom and shower were renovated tastefully, the laundry room updated between 2018 and 2019. These aren't things you'll need to budget for. The house is move-i ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home by the river

The first thing you notice when you step onto the boathouse terrace is the silence. Not the absence of sound—more like a different kind of sound entirely. Lake Vättern stretches out in front of you, Sweden's second-largest lake, and on a still morning the water is so clear you can see several meters down to the pale sandy bottom. A pair of oystercatchers call from somewhere along the shoreline. The birch trees behind the house are just catching the early light. You haven't checked your phone yet. You probably won't for a while. This is a vacation home and second property opportunity that doesn't come around often. The house at Norra Bäckebo Sjungarns 1 sits on the western shore of Lake Vättern, outside the small municipality of Habo in Västra Götaland County, and the setting is about as private as private gets in Sweden. Your nearest neighbor is a few hundred meters away through the trees. The plot is 1,100 square meters of genuine lakefront, and the water is yours to use directly—swim from the dock, moor your boat in the boathouse, or just sit and watch the weather move across the lake in the afternoons. The house itself was built in 1874 and still carries the bones of that era. Thick walls. Low ceilings in the original rooms. A kitchen with the kind of character that newer builds never quite achieve no matter how hard they try. At 50 square meters the footprint is compact, two rooms and that distinctive kitchen, but the additional 20 square meters of auxiliary space gives you practical breathing room for storage or a workshop. This is not a property you buy because you need square footage. You buy it because you want a base for a different kind of life, and the boathouse terrace at dusk in July earns its keep a thous ... click here to read more
