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

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.

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
