Islands for Sale in Sweden

Latest listing added: May, 2023

It comes as no surprise that islands are integral to Sweden’s national image, given that the country’s capital itself is an archipelago. Yet, the 14 isles that comprise Stockholm are but a small fraction of Sweden’s island population. 

The Nordic nation has nearly 270,000 islands, with over a third located within the surrounding coastal waters. Though, fewer than 1000 of the country’s islands are inhabited. 

Nonetheless, investors continue to set their sights on Swedish property – tempted by thick groves of pine trees, jagged shorelines, remote cabins, and abundant wildlife. 

All the market’s islands (and island parcels) are sold as freehold properties, granting buyers full ownership rights to the land. Still, given the competitive nature of Sweden’s island market, it’s best to pay close attention to all movements and details – islands are frequently listed below €1M and any interest should be registered with haste.

While successful investors will enjoy a largely temperate climate in Sweden, there is a significant variance in temperatures between the north and south. Given their proximity to the Arctic, the country’s northernmost regions experience long, bitter winters and short summers. Central and southern Sweden, on the other hand, experiences milder winters followed by warm and sunny summers.
