A Swedish archipelago retreat offers unrivalled views

The Gåsö island home comes with a private beach, harbour and sauna, plus four guest houses for family and friends

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).
