Description

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque area of Böda in the Borgholm Municipality, you'll find a unique opportunity awaiting you. This 6-room country home, located at Norrbygärdevägen 1, offers a chance to embrace the quintessential Swedish countryside living. But before diving into the home's details, let's take a moment to explore what makes this part of Sweden an alluring choice for international buyers.

Böda is a serene village known for its tranquil surroundings, lush landscapes, and a close-knit community vibe that makes you feel right at home. Living here, you’ll enjoy the true essence of Sweden with its long summer days where the sun hardly sets, and snowy, picturesque winters perfect for cozying up by a warm fire. The local climate is relatively mild thanks to its proximity to the sea, providing a gentle sea breeze in the summer and a shield from the harshest of winter chills.

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning and taking a leisurely stroll to the nearby grocery store, just a stone's throw away from your doorstep. On your way, you might pass by Böda Harbor, a hub of local activity where fishing boats come and go, and the fresh sea air fills your lungs. It's a community where neighbors know each other by name, offering a warm, inviting ambiance.

If you're looking for recreation, Böda offers plenty. Beyond its beautiful beaches and lush forests begging to be explored, the connectivity to larger towns like Borgholm and Kalmar via regular bus routes opens a world of possibilities. Whether it’s shopping, dining, or experiencing the rich history of Öland, there's always something to do.

Now, back to the property. This country home sprawls over a generous 144 square meters, and while it awaits a significant renovation, it holds fantastic potential to become a personalized haven. Picture the transformation as you breathe new life into its six spacious bedrooms—each room a blank canvas for your vision.

As daunting as a fixer-upper sounds, it's your chance to create a truly personalized retreat.

This property speaks volumes to those enamored by the idea of country living, where peace and quiet are in abundance, and the hustle and bustle of city life fades into serenity.

Step inside on a Tuesday morning in late June, when the light in Västra Götaland does something it only does in summer — it just stays, pale gold and horizontal, filtering through the old kitchen window at six in the morning and still hanging around past ten at night. The cast-iron wood stove ticks quietly. Outside, two hectares of open farmland stretch toward a treeline of birch and spruce. Nobody is coming down this road today unless they mean to. That's Holmen 2. A hundred-year-old Swedish country house sitting on just over three hectares of its own land, about ten minutes outside the small town of Högsäter in Färgelanda municipality. It's the kind of place that takes a minute to fully compute — the scale of it, the quiet, the way the barn's dark timber bulk anchors the yard like it's been there since before memory, because it essentially has. The house itself dates to 1920 and carries its age with confidence rather than apology. Inside the living room, the original log walls have been stripped back and left exposed — not as a design statement, but because whoever did it clearly understood that this is what the house actually is underneath. Run a hand across those logs and you're touching construction from a century ago, still solid. The wood-burning stove in the corner is the social center of the room in October when the first cold front rolls in from the Norwegian plateau. It makes the space feel earned, not decorated. The kitchen runs on a wood-fired stove too, and this isn't a gimmick. In a house this age, with this setting, cooking over wood makes complete sense — it heats the room, it slows down the morning, and it produces a smell that no gas burner ever will.

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

Step outside on a July morning and the stream is already running. You can hear it from the kitchen window — a low, steady rush that cuts through the silence before the coffee has even finished brewing. That's the rhythm of life at Gräsholma 4512, a traditional red-painted Swedish stuga sitting on over 4,400 square meters of land in Markaryds kommun, surrounded by forest and open meadow in the kind of quiet that most people only find by accident. This is southern Sweden at its most unhurried. Markaryd sits in Kronoberg County, close to the border with Skåne, roughly 50 kilometers north of Helsingborg and about 40 kilometers from Ljungby. The E4 motorway is nearby, making it far more accessible than its rural character suggests — you can be in Malmö in under 90 minutes, or catch a flight from Malmö Airport (Sturup) without an early-morning scramble. For buyers flying in from elsewhere in Europe, Copenhagen Airport is also a realistic option, roughly two hours by car. The point is: you don't have to sacrifice the world to get here. The cottage itself was built in 1922 and painted the deep Falun red that's become almost synonymous with the Swedish countryside. White window trim, a pitched roof, a garden that rolls into the tree line — it looks exactly like the image that forms in your mind when someone says "Swedish summer house." Inside, the living space runs to 44 square meters, compact but considered, with wooden floors, good natural light, and the kind of layout that pushes you outdoors rather than keeping you in. There's an additional 20 square meters of secondary space — currently used for storage — which could easily become a hobby room, a workshop, or a proper guest annexe with minimal effort. Three bedrooms sleep ... click here to read more

Early July morning in Dalarna. You pour coffee in the kitchen, push open the window, and hear nothing but birdsong and the soft creak of pine trees. Somewhere down the trail, Lake Amungen is still glassy and cool. By noon, your cousins will arrive and fill the guest cottages; by evening, someone will have caught a perch worth bragging about. This is the rhythm that Dalstuga Björnstigen 7 makes possible — a rare Swedish country property with a main cottage, four separate sleeping cabins, a boathouse share, and nearly 2,000 square meters of open land tucked into Rättviks kommun, one of Dalarna's most quietly celebrated corners. The main cottage clocks in at 57 square meters — compact, yes, but genuinely well-used space. A wide hallway leads into a shower room, and then the living room opens up around a fireplace that earns its keep on October evenings when the forest goes amber and the temperature drops fast. The family room adjoining it has built-in bunk beds, which means kids have their own territory and you don't have to negotiate sleeping arrangements at 11pm. The kitchen is practical, with real counter space — the kind of kitchen where you actually cook, not just heat things up. What makes this place exceptional, though, is the compound quality. Four additional sleeping cottages of varying sizes each have their own electricity connection, so family groups or friends can come and go with some independence. Add a storage barn, an outdoor toilet, and several outbuildings, and you have a property that handles large gatherings without anyone feeling crowded. It also connects to the main electricity grid and draws summer water through an easement arrangement with a neighboring property. The sewage system is the property's ... click here to read more

Stand at the edge of the plot on a June morning and the only sounds are birdsong, the distant hum of a tractor somewhere beyond the tree line, and the soft creak of the old barn settling in the warmth. That's Ytternäs in Edsbro — a corner of Uppland that most Swedes know only as a blur of pine forest glimpsed from a car window, but those who stop here tend to stay a long time. Sparrtorpsvägen 26 is not a turnkey property. It's something more interesting than that. Two residential houses, a 1930s barn built from timber that was already old when your grandparents were young, and 3,769 square metres of open Swedish countryside — all sold as a single holding. If you've ever sketched out plans for a small family compound, a weekend retreat that could actually grow into something over the years, or a rural base in Scandinavia that gives you room to breathe and the freedom to build something on your own terms, this is worth a serious look. The second house — the one in usable condition right now — has a room and kitchen on the entry level, both warmed by a wood-burning stove, and a summer room upstairs that catches the long northern light beautifully from around May through September. It's simple. Honestly, very simple. But simplicity up here isn't a deficiency; it's the point. The bones are honest, the proportions are liveable, and a buyer with a clear vision and some patience will find it responsive to careful renovation. The interiors are a blank slate — no ornamental distractions, just space and possibility. The first house is older — likely late 19th or very early 20th century — with three rooms and a kitchen, including a traditional tiled kakelugn on the upper floor that adds real character. The roof has suffered from ... click here to read more

The fly line rolls out over the Laisälven at six in the morning and the grayling are already rising. You're standing on your own deck, coffee cooling on the railing behind you, and the only sounds are the river sliding past and a single curlew somewhere upstream. This is what ownership at Laisviken 144 actually feels like — not a concept, but a Tuesday morning in July. Sorsele sits deep in Swedish Lapland, about an hour's drive south of the Arctic Circle along the E45 — the same road locals call the "Wilderness Road" or Vildmarksvägen. It's not a place people stumble across. You come here on purpose, because you know what's here: one of the most intact river systems in all of Europe, forests that stretch unbroken for hundreds of kilometres, and a quality of silence that most of Europe has simply run out of. The property itself is a classic Swedish log cabin, hand-built in the style that has kept Lapland families warm through centuries of hard winters. Fifty square meters, one bedroom, a bright main living space with windows that face directly onto the river, and a glass-enclosed veranda that makes the outside feel like inside for roughly nine months of the year. The log walls — thick, honey-coloured, fragrant on warm days — do more than just look the part. They keep the cold out in February and the heat comfortable in the high summer light when the sun barely sets. That veranda deserves its own mention. On a mid-August evening when the light goes gold around ten o'clock and the Laisälven is mirror-flat, it becomes the best room in the house. A card game, a bottle of Riesling, friends who've driven up from Stockholm — you'll find nobody wants to go to bed. The glass panels mean you're still sitting in that same spot wh ... click here to read more

You step off the small motorboat, tie the line to your own dock, and the only sound is water lapping against the hull and a pair of oystercatchers arguing somewhere in the reeds. That's your arrival. Every time. Toharen Island, tucked inside the Gävle archipelago roughly five minutes by boat from the mainland at Sikvik, operates on its own rhythm — and after one summer here, you'll wonder how you ever unwound anywhere else. This is a genuine Swedish island holiday property: compact, honest, and surrounded by more sky and water than most people see in a year. The main cabin sits on a freehold plot of 1,340 square meters, and at 25 square meters it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is — a place to sleep well, eat simply, and spend the rest of your waking hours outside. One bedroom, a living room with large windows that pull the birch canopy and the water's glitter directly into the room, a kitchenette for morning coffee and late-night snacks after a long day on the water. The layout is tight but considered. Nothing wasted. What the numbers don't tell you is the feeling of those windows on a midsummer morning when the light arrives around 3am and fills the room long before you're ready to wake up. Or the way the dock planks warm up fast in June so you can sit with bare feet dangling over the water before breakfast. Summers in Gävle run warm and long — July averages hover around 20°C, and the archipelago catches enough sun to make the swimming genuinely good from late June through August. The water here isn't the glacial shock people expect. It's brackish, calm in the sheltered coves, and by July it reaches temperatures that make you want to stay in. Beyond the main house, the property gives you real flexi ... click here to read more

Main house and garden view

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

At five in the morning in July, the sun hasn't gone down since yesterday. It hangs low and amber over the Gulf of Bothnia, throwing copper light through the birch trees at the edge of the garden, and you're already awake — not because you have to be, but because Seskarö does something to your sleep cycle. You stop fighting time up here. You start living by light instead. That's the pull of Bladviken 5. A two-bedroom country home on one of northern Sweden's quieter islands, sitting on a 1,975 square metre plot just a hundred metres from the shoreline. The water is right there — you can smell it through the kitchen window in the morning, that cold, clean salt-and-pine combination that doesn't exist anywhere further south. The house itself is 63 square metres of honest, practical Scandinavian living. Wooden walls, natural light coming in at all angles, and a floor plan that doesn't waste a centimetre. It's not enormous, but it's thoughtfully arranged — the kind of layout where you always know where everyone is, where conversations drift naturally from the kitchen to the living room without anyone having to raise their voice. Two bedrooms handle a couple or a small family comfortably. The single bathroom is functional. The kitchen is set up for actual cooking, not just reheating things — and when you're coming back from a morning on the water with fresh-caught perch or Baltic herring, that matters. What extends the property's real usefulness is everything outside the main house. Multiple outbuildings sit across the generous plot, and they're the kind of practical structures that Swedish island life actually calls for. There's room for a proper sauna setup — this is Norrbotten, after all, and a summer evening without a sau ... click here to read more

Front view of the main house and garden

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

Front view of the house and garden

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

Exterior view of Gäddvägen 35

Step off the gravel path and onto the covered porch of Rumma Ekenberg on a late July evening, and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not an uncomfortable silence — the kind that has texture. Wind moving through birch trees. A wood pigeon somewhere to the east. The faint smell of pine resin warming in the last of the day's sun. If you've been chasing that particular kind of quiet for years, you've just found it. This 19th-century Swedish torp sits in the village of Rumma, tucked into the rural heart of Östergötland — a county that Swedes themselves talk about with a certain reverence. Three bedrooms, one bathroom, 96 square metres of winterized living space, and just over 1,000 square metres of land that backs toward open fields and forest. At €87,000, it's the kind of property that makes you do the math twice. The house is old in the best possible way. Original wide-plank wooden floors run through the living room, their grain darkened and worn smooth by well over a century of use. Three windows on three different walls mean the room catches the light at almost every hour — gold in the morning from the east, bright and even through the afternoon, and that long, horizontal Scandinavian evening light that doesn't quit until past ten in summer. The open fireplace anchors the space. Come October, when the first frosts push in across the fields, you'll be very glad it's there. The kitchen was renovated in 2006, and whoever did the work had good taste. Masur birch cabinetry — a figured, almost burl-like birch that's genuinely striking up close — gives the room a quiet distinctiveness that off-the-shelf Ikea kitchens simply can't replicate. Black-and-white stone-effect flooring, decent appliances including a dishwashe ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the country cottage

Early morning on Tjurkö, the Baltic air carries a faint smell of salt and pine resin through the bedroom window, and the only sound is a pair of oystercatchers working the shoreline 500 meters down the path. That's your morning. No traffic, no neighbors in sight, just the particular quiet that belongs to the Swedish archipelago in the hours before breakfast. Kyskens väg 8 sits at the end of a winding gravel-and-grass track on one of Blekinge's most unhurried islands, set back in a small glade with a single neighbor and a 2,650-square-meter plot that's framed on three sides by old stone walls. The kind of walls that took generations to build, stone by stone, pulled from the same granite bedrock that shapes this coastline. The land is level and open—big enough for a game of kubb at dusk, a proper kitchen garden, or a hammock strung between two old trees with a book and a thermos of coffee. The house itself was built in 1967 and still carries the honest bones of a classic Swedish sommarstuga. Original wooden floors, a functional iron stove, a kitchen that has fed a lot of families over a lot of summers. It doesn't try to be something it isn't. The 52 square meters are arranged with the kind of practical logic that Scandinavian builders understood instinctively—kitchen and dining together at around 21 square meters, generous enough for a crowded table on a rainy August afternoon, two bedrooms of 9 and 11 square meters respectively, and a bathroom with shower. Four separate exits mean kids can circuit the house without ever coming back through the kitchen, which anyone who's spent a week at a Swedish summer cottage will know is quietly essential. Out the back, a covered terrace extends the living space into something close ... click here to read more

Front view of the holiday home

You wake up, the morning is quiet except for the sound of birdsong filtering through the pine trees, and you walk barefoot across dewy grass to rinse off under the open-air shower while the sky above turns from pale grey to gold. That's the rhythm here at Bengtsgård 80. Not a performance of countryside living — the real thing. This 45-square-metre holiday home sits on a generous 1,500 m² leasehold plot in Bengtsgård, just outside Kristinehamn in Sweden's beloved Värmland region. At around €70,000, it's one of those properties that makes you do a double take. Lake Vänern — Europe's third-largest lake — is a short walk down the road. The Bengtsgård bathing area, with its clean sandy shore and calm swimming waters, is practically your front yard. And yet the place feels genuinely tucked away, surrounded by mature trees that screen you from the world without making you feel cut off from it. The house itself was built in 1970 and renovated in 2019, and the kitchen-living area is the real heart of it. Open-plan, bright, with large windows pulling in natural light that shifts dramatically through the seasons — it's the kind of space where Sunday mornings stretch out over long breakfasts and nowhere-to-be afternoons. The kitchen has been modernised properly: real storage, working appliances, finishes that don't feel temporary. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, and on those September evenings when the air turns cool and the lake mist rolls in, it earns its place completely. One bedroom, thoughtfully arranged for genuine rest. There's also a separate utility room with an incineration toilet — a practical, low-footprint solution that's standard in Swedish off-grid holiday properties and entirely in keeping with t ... 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

Stand on the south-facing terrace at Törnbotten 113 on a late June morning and you'll understand immediately why Öland has been pulling people across the Kalmar Strait for centuries. The meadows ahead of you stretch all the way to the treeline of Mittlandsskogen, Sweden's largest contiguous deciduous forest. Swallows cut low over the grass. The only sound is wind moving through the stone wall that borders your plot. It's 7am and you're already outside, coffee in hand, with nowhere to be. This is a genuinely rare find. An architect-designed, newly built home on a Swedish island that gets more sunshine hours than almost anywhere else in the country — and it's priced as a vacation home purchase, not a mainland city premium. The house at Törnbotten 113 sits in Färjestaden on the island of Öland, connected to the mainland city of Kalmar by the 6km Öland Bridge — one of the longest bridges in Europe and, frankly, one of the more satisfying drives you'll ever make, with the Baltic spreading out on both sides. The architect behind this home is M. Rutensköld, winner of both the Red Dot Award and the Swedish Design Award. That pedigree shows in every decision made here, from the passage between the two building volumes — a direct nod to the traditional rad byar, the row villages that define Öland's historic landscape — to the vitriol-treated wood facade that will weather gradually to a soft silver-grey, the way old Öland barns do. This isn't a house trying to look Scandinavian. It actually is. Inside, the ceilings climb to five metres at their peak. Natural light doesn't just enter the house — it moves through it, shifting from the south-facing living areas in the morning to the north and east-facing loft windows by afternoon. ... click here to read more
