Nestled in the serene countryside of Singö in the Norrtälje area of Sweden, this country home offers the quintessential Scandinavian experience. As a busy global real estate agent, I know that properties like this don't come along every day, especially with such potential for both a tranquil lifestyle and future investment. Just a short distance from Grisslehamn's quaint community, this property offers the blend of seclusion and connection that many buyers from overseas are looking for.
Let's start with the home itself. Built in 1969 and thoughtfully updated over the years, this country home features a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for small families or those looking to downsize and simplify life. With three bedrooms, it offers enough space for a family to spread out, or couples seeking weekend guests. Sitting cozily at 48 square meters, it may sound modest, but the intelligent layout maximizes every inch, making the home feel much larger than it appears on paper.
Key features include:
- Three good-sized bedrooms
- An open-plan kitchen and living area
- Bright interiors with wooden floors
- Airy open-ceiling design
- Expansive deck for outdoor living
- Two additional guest cottages
- Natural landscaping with minimal upkeep
- Outbuilding with extra storage and a toilet
- An easy 270-meter stroll to the water, perfect for boating enthusiasts
The outdoor area is unlike anything else. The property is wrapped in a natural landscape that's easy to maintain, highlighting scenic views and ensuring you have the charm of the wildly beautiful Swedish countryside right at your doorstep. A large deck serves as the centerpiece where you can savor long summer days bathed in sunlight, thanks to its southern and western exposure.
Located at Stavsövägen 78, this property is set on a 2,119 square meter plot, ensuring ample space between neighbors, nurturing a sense of privacy that's increasingly hard to find. Despite the calm and seclusion, you're not isolated. A bus stop only 900 meters away provides regular service to the regional hub of Norrtälje and the bustling city of Stockholm, connecting you effortlessly to urban amenities and conveniences.
Living in Grisslehamn means embracing a slower pace of life, where the community values nature, sustainability, and quality of life. If you're coming from the bustling streets of a city, this locale offers an inviting respite with its quiet roads and access to nature. The proximity to the sea will appeal to water enthusiasts, promising weekends full of kayaking, sailing, or just soaking up the lapping waves against the dock.
The climate in this region is another draw. Sweden offers crisp, invigorating winters and warm, balmy summers, giving the promise of snowy landscapes as well as sun-drenched days both equally enjoyed from the comfy deck or a boat on the water.
The surrounding area is great for exploration as well. Nature trails abounding, Singö is ideal for hiking and biking. As a resident, you'll enjoy leisurely strolls by the water, fishing trips, or day-long excursions to the rich cultural spots in Norrtälje. You'll find local eateries offering the catch of the day, and a grocery store just a brief drive, at 5.5 kilometers away. Plus, with the opening of a new seaside restaurant at Singö camping in 2025, there'll be a new spot to enjoy fine food with great views.
If you're looking for a property with rental potential, consider the two guest cottages on-site. These small dwellings could serve as Airbnb rentals or long-term accommodations, providing a steady income stream and capitalising on Sweden's stable tourist market.
So, whether you're a family looking for a holiday retreat, expats craving a home that offers the best of Scandinavian living, or just someone yearning for a slice of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle, this place could be a perfect match.
Balancing home, investment, and lifestyle, this country home in Grisslehamn offers an opportunity too enticing to overlook. Make the move, embrace the Scandinavian countryside, and turn this life-filled property in Grisslehamn into your new home base with effortless grace. Don't let this opportunity pass you by.
