High Quality Waterfront Residence On Smögen

On one of Old Smögen’s most sought-after streets, overlooking the sea and the dramatic granite coastline of Sweden’s West Coast, lies this exceptional residence, completed in 2013.

Designed with a strong sense of architectural integrity, the house combines the distinctive character of traditional Bohuslän with refined contemporary design. Across three generous levels, the property offers an abundance of space, exceptional craftsmanship and uninterrupted views towards the sea.

With a minimum of six bedrooms, four bathrooms and generous entertaining areas, the residence is equally suited to sophisticated family living, hosting guests or creating a private retreat by the sea. The proportions and layout provide a rare degree of flexibility, allowing the house to accommodate both intimate everyday life and larger gatherings.

The architecture is understated, elegant and timeless. Norwegian pine has been used extensively throughout the house, both internally and externally. The façade features horizontal timber cladding, while the interiors are characterised by knot-free, softly painted timber walls and ceilings, consistent 30 mm ash flooring and a carefully considered palette of natural tones.

Generous ceiling heights and carefully positioned windows and balconies ensure that the surrounding seascape becomes an integral part of the architecture. From virtually every room facing the water, the view extends across the sea and coastline, creating a remarkable sense of openness and connection with nature.

The lower level offers particularly versatile accommodation, with the possibility of a separate entrance and a self-contained arrangement including bedrooms, living space and a kitchen area. Towards the sea, a further room opens directly onto the outdoor areas and spa. A sauna, shower and separate WC create the possibility of a private wellness suite, gym or guest retreat.

A Private Outdoor Setting by the Sea

The grounds have been carefully designed to complement the natural character of the site. Beautifully laid stone meets exposed granite bedrock, creating a series of terraces and outdoor rooms at different levels.

A spacious spa pool, raised planting beds and a sheltered outdoor barbecue area provide several settings for relaxation and entertaining. The enclosing walls create a sense of privacy while retaining the dramatic relationship with the surrounding landscape.

From the lower part of the property, a few steps lead directly towards the bathing jetty. The sea is therefore not simply a view from the house, but an immediate part of everyday life – whether for an early morning swim, a summer evening by the water or simply enjoying the changing light across the coastline.

A generously glazed balcony extends the living spaces outdoors, while cedar-clad detailing adds warmth and a refined natural quality to the exterior. The entrance and front approach are beautifully paved and provide convenient parking.

Old Smögen

The setting is exceptional. Old Smögen is one of Sweden’s most celebrated coastal environments, known for its distinctive granite landscape, historic architecture, boating culture and proximity to the sea.

From the property, the coastline, bathing places and open sea are immediately accessible. Scenic paths follow the shoreline, while Smögen’s restaurants, cafés, harbour and renowned summer atmosphere can be reached on foot. Smögen Havsbad is also within easy walking distance.

For those who enjoy life on the water, a boat berth is available to offer.

A Distinctive Scandinavian Coastal Residence

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and exceptionally well-crafted residence in one of Sweden’s most desirable coastal locations.

Its combination of architectural quality, generous proportions, multiple sea-facing levels, private outdoor spaces and immediate access to the water creates a home of considerable distinction.

A residence where the timeless character of the Swedish west coast meets contemporary Scandinavian architecture – and where the sea is present from every perspective.

A truly exceptional private residence in one of Old Smögen’s most coveted locations.
