Many homes hold memories – this one holds centuries
A house that stands proudly atop a rocky hill, in a timeless landscape where history whispers from every log wall. This isn’t just a place to live – it’s a place where a story is lived, a story that began back in the 15th century. The roots of this land trace back to the 1400s. It was owned by the Swedish crown and by Sten Sture the Elder, and gifted to the Naantali Catholic Monastery in 1490. After the Reformation, the property came under the ownership of the Lutheran Church. Here, the gentle warmth of the baking oven, birdsong in the garden, and a green sea of treetops outside the window soothe even the busiest of minds. This is a place where time slows down – and the heart speeds up.
The main building dates back to the 18th–19th centuries and exudes both history and care. Bright rooms, high ceilings, and the warmth of seven tiled stoves bring celebration to everyday life. The modern kitchen beautifully merges tradition with practicality – Bosch appliances meet a wood-burning stove and a traditional baking oven. From the kitchen, a door leads directly outside – straight into lush greenery.
This home is more than just square meters – it has a library, a study, bedrooms, scenic views from the balcony, and a bathroom and sauna that offer everyday indulgence. Every room is part of a whole that feels like home the moment you step inside.
The courtyard is like a little world of its own:
A large barn housing a sauna and vaulted cellar from 1903
A playhouse from the 1700s
A natural stone-based swimming pool where summer can last forever
Garden, plantings, lighting, and stonework – all thoughtfully designed
Nearly 2.3 hectares of peace and privacy
