A Private 1920s Riverside Property 2 Hours South of Stockholm

Set directly along the gently flowing Husbyån River, this 1920s property is rare and captivating in the heart of the Sörmland landscape, two hours south of Stockholm. With an extended private shoreline and your own bathing jetty, this is a home where water, light, and tranquility shape everyday life.

Here, the river opens toward Torpfjärden and continues through a remarkable network of waterways reaching Långhalsen, Lidsjön, Båven, and Nyköpingsån, an irresistible setting for anyone drawn to nature, paddling, and peaceful countryside living.

The main residence, originally built in 1923, has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated to meet modern standards while honoring its historic character.

Stepping inside through the insulated glass veranda is an experience in itself: morning light washes over the slate floor, and underfloor heating adds quiet comfort beneath your feet. From here, the home opens into warm, inviting interiors defined by solid wooden floors, heart-pine lattice windows, and exquisite carpentry, a true celebration of traditional craftsmanship.

The entrance floor is designed for social living. The kitchen, featuring marble countertops and custom-built original details, invites long dinners and shared moments with friends and family.

The living room looks out toward the garden, offering lush green views, while an adjacent bedroom, with its tiled stove, opens directly to the granite-paved steps and garden through elegant lattice double doors.

A tasteful extension introduces a contemporary layer to the home, finished in Gotland limestone and equipped with waterborne underfloor heating. Here you’ll find practical yet beautifully integrated spaces: a bathroom, laundry room, hall with cloakroom, and pantry, elements that seamlessly bring the house into the present and simplify everyday life.

A graceful staircase leads to the upper floor, where a serene living room awaits. With sweeping views over the river, this space feels made for quiet mornings, coffee in hand, and the calming presence of nature just beyond the windows. Two generously sized bedrooms are thoughtfully separated for privacy, and a toilet on the same floor adds convenience.

The 159 sq meter outbuilding is far more than a complement, it is a world of opportunity. On the ground floor are several storage rooms, a preserved office with a tiled stove, and functional spaces for everyday needs.

Upstairs, a striking party or family room takes center stage, complete with a fireplace and culturally painted walls. Flanked by two spacious bedrooms, perfect as guest rooms, studios, or creative retreats, this building offers flexibility for both everyday living and memorable gatherings. A garage provides space for a car, rounding out the practical features.

The garden envelops the buildings in lush greenery, offering multiple potential patios and peaceful corners to enjoy the surroundings. Beyond the property, the landscape opens into fields and meadows, with the beautiful Husby-Oppunda Church visible in the distance. Just a short walk away lies the Hopen bathing area, featuring a sandy beach, jetty, and barbecue facilities.

Kayaking routes, smooth bathing rocks, and small islands are all close at hand. Explore Eldberget with its Viking Age hillfort, hike through Ängbackens Nature Reserve, or forage for mushrooms in wildlife-rich forests. Nearby estates and farms, such as Torps Säteri, offer opportunities for hunting and fishing. Whether traveling by foot, bicycle, or paddle, every outing here becomes an experience in itself.

This property is not just a beautiful residence, it is a place rich in Swedish history. Once the miller’s home for Vads Kvarn, the original mill building still stands across the gravel road.

The property also gained cultural fame as “Lanthandeln i Hedeby” in the acclaimed Swedish TV series Hedebyborna, directed by Håkan Ersgård and based on novels by Sven Delblanc. The series aired between 1978 and 1982 and was later named the best Swedish TV series of all time.
