We partner with over 1000 Sotheby’s real estate offices in 71 countries. Each month we showcase a home from one of these partners. Our feature home this month is located in Fjällbacka, Sweden.
Situated on the west coast of Sweden, Fjällbacka is a photogenic fishing village that attracts many visitors, especially during the months of milder weather. Ingrid Bergman spent over 20 summers here with her children and referred to this quiet seaside town as paradise on earth. It is also the hometown of crime writer, Camilla Lackberg, and the intriguing setting for her popular murder mystery novels. For centuries, Fjällbacka’s primary industry was fishing. During the mid-1900s, tourism began to take over as the fishing trade relocated to ports large enough to accommodate the new, larger vessels. Now the town, with fewer than 900 residents, is a popular destination for those who appreciate its stunning physical beauty and the ample outdoor recreational opportunities.
While most homes in Fjällbacka are of traditional, modest Swedish design, Vetteberget 7 is a beautiful example of Postmodern Swedish architecture. This home was intelligently designed with innovative and elegantly simple solutions. Expert craftsmanship, top-quality building materials, and high-end finishes can be seen throughout. This unique and exclusive home occupies a high, unobstructed location on Vetteberget Hill, and looks out over islets and skerries, Fjällbacka town and continues out to the horizon. From the porch, the roof terrace and the living room, you and your guests can enjoy a magnificent views of the archipelago.
In addition, this impressive property offers a variety of indoor areas that are also equally wonderful for entertaining. The open living area, filled with natural light and dramatic eye-catching angles, is shared by the living room, dining room and kitchen. This section also has sliding doors leading to the terrace for an even greater sense of openness on warm days. When the weather is cold, enjoy the cozy heat of a fireplace, as well sub-floor heating throughout the house. Three bedrooms and over 2,000 sq. ft. provide ample room for you and your guests.
