This expansive retreat on Gåsö island showcases stunning vistas of the Gullmarn Fjord and its nature reserve. Set in a secluded location, it boasts a private harbour, a swimming area with a sauna, a sandy beach, and even a private helipad.

The waterfront property is set against a backdrop of rocks and cliffs, with the main house built atop a jetty extending into the sea.

The Falu red home spans 180 sq m across two levels and sits directly on the sandy beach, its windows capturing expansive views. Inside, a soft Scandi country vibe pervades, with painted woodwork, a country kitchen and sitting area, and a bedroom overlooking the sea. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a living room feature west-facing windows for spectacular sunsets.

Designed for multi-generational living, the Swedish property features four guest houses, including a 20 sq m beachside guest house with its own sauna. Three 40 sq m guest houses are strategically positioned for optimal sun exposure, and there are four boathouses for ample storage.

A five-minute boat ride connects the island to the mainland, while a helipad atop the cliff adds extra convenience. Jonas Martinsson of Residence, Christie’s International Real Estate, is listing the island home for 39m KR (approximately €3.4m).
