At the tip of the Svensknabben peninsula, stretching out into the Kalmarsund just a few kilometers from Kalmar's city center, sits Ryttmästarvillan – an architectural masterpiece from the 1920s. As one of Kalmar's most distinctive residences, both historically and architecturally, this exclusive villa represents high quality and refined taste, leaving nothing to be desired. Welcome to a setting steeped in cultural heritage, in one of Kalmar's most prestigious locations.

The villa was built in 1920–1921 as the permanent residence for Birger Jeansson, son of industrial magnate John Jeansson, and his wife Hertha Norberg. The architect behind the building was Carl Bergsten – best known for the Liljevalchs Art Gallery in Stockholm – here combining national romantic elements with emerging 1920s classicism. The plastered façade, iron-clad chimneys bearing initials and dates, and extensive decorative painting testify to a time defined by artisanal craftsmanship.

Upon arrival, the villa makes a striking first impression with a blooming roundel framed by towering trees. The house rests on a foundation of cut granite, and the entrance is reached by a semicircular granite staircase leading to a paneled door with Rococo-inspired curves. The porch ceiling is adorned with painted decorations in harmonious patterns. Inside, the hallway draws your eye straight through the house to the sea. Daylight filters through the mullioned windows reflecting on the original painted ceilings, faux-marble finishes, and limestone flooring. The dining room and salon, with views of the strait, boast paneled wainscoting, coffered ceilings, and original tiled stoves – preserved artworks from the Oskarshamn tile factory. A charming sunroom extends the home toward the water.

A sweeping staircase with a contour-cut railing, inspired by baroque baluster shapes, leads to the private quarters on the upper floors. The first floor includes several bedrooms, bathrooms, and a library lounge with a painted ceiling featuring stylized plant motifs. The top floor, where exposed chimneys add authentic character, offers a master bedroom, walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom. Finally, the angled service wing houses a spa area with relaxation room, sauna, and access to the garden with a hot tub and padel court.

Here, culture and nature meet in perfect harmony, with uninterrupted views over Kalmarsund right at your doorstep. At the same time, the city's amenities are just minutes away – a location as exclusive as it is convenient.

The neighboring property, Svensknabbevägen 27 (a plot with padel court), is being sold simultaneously, offering the opportunity to acquire two adjoining estates.
