This fantastic seaside property at Harry Martinsons väg 1 in Stockholm County, just outside of Gnesta, is less than an hour’s drive from Stockholm.

The estate features a main residence with a total area of 200 square meters, along with a guest cottage, farm buildings, stables, a garage, a boathouse, and other buildings, combining to about 210 square meters.

Originally built in 1920, the property was once owned by the Swedish Nobel laureate in literature, author Harry Martinson and his family. The architect-designed buildings retain a sense of old building techniques and architectural style, with many original details beautifully preserved. The large garden plot of 14,883 square meters includes surrounding wooded hills and fine grassy areas leading down to the water. The location is harmonious, free from dense development or visible neighbors. The shoreline is shared by the few farms surrounding the lake. The estate includes two guest houses, a boathouse, a garage, a stable, and a carriage shed, all with installed electricity. The main house, offering 175 square meters of living space over two floors, features several lovely outdoor spaces facing the water and is heated with geothermal energy.
