Traditonal Swedish wooden house from 1881, with private beach on the Baltic Sea only 25 minutes from downtown Stockholm with beds for 9 persons.

Located on a forested pensinsula right on the Baltic Sea, with a private beach. 25 minutes by car from central Stockholm. View an aerial video of our house and peninsula by clicking on the link below:

Built in 1881 in traditional Swedish style, 200 m2 on two floors, this wooden house has 3 bedrooms, computer with free internet, and two cozy fireplaces. There are two large living rooms, one with a TV room with a 52 inchTV and the other a sitting room for socializing. Next to the main house is a guest house which is 35m2, accomodates two people, with shower and toilet. There is a third tiny house of 10m2 with a double bed.

In a separate house there is a sauna, with shower and fireplace. There is a large trampolin, a field for playing "boules", and a playing field for soccer. There is a 40 m2 stone-laid patio overlooking the sea, with a BBQ.

Four bikes are available. We are open to exchanging cars, but this is not a must, just a possibility. We can provide a Cirtoen C5 sedan or a Citroen C5 station wagon. Both cars are automatic shift. A ten minute bike ride from our house is a charming lake with a small sandy beach and good bathing for kids. There is a second lake 15 minutes by bike with high rocky cliffs and spectacularly clean water.

There is an 18 hole golf course 15 minutes away by car. You can play for a green fee.

When we have exchanged homes 10 times, and have always agreed upon mutual housekeeping: each family cleans their own home after the exchange.
We think that our house offers a perfect combination of country living just a short distance from the capital of Sweden.

About Our Family

My wife is a municipal Educational strategist and I am a photographer working for both the corporate world and for international aid and developement. We have three sons, 24, 29 and 40. All live in their own places in Stockholm. At times some of them join us on an exchange.

We have travelled very extensively around the world, and travel is our passion. We are curious about new cultures, foods, and meeting new people. We see Intervac as a way to deepen our knowledge and understanding of local communities. All our exchanges have been great!

We are open to either long weekend (4-6 days) in various cities in Europe such as Vienna, Athens, Rome, Oporto, Paris. Normally with 4 beds. One or two week summer exchanges in Italy, Spain, Portugal or Greece, June or August are also of interest. We are looking for a house with 8-10 beds, either by the sea or with a swimming pool.

We are also open to exchanges with North America. Of particular interest are Manhattan in New York and Newport Beach in California. Montreal, Canada is also of interest in particular the center of town or Westmount, Outremont.

Additional places of interest are the coastal New England States, or perhaps Montana or Wyoming. We are open to an exchange in Asia or in China or Melbourne, Australia.

Our traditional Swedish home, built in 1881 is totally modernized, is located on a charming peninsula with beachfront on the Baltic Sea. It accomodates 8-9 people. Relaxing, yet only 25 minutes by car to central Stockholm. We have often exchanged cars at the same time.

Looking forward to your suggestions,

Victor & Ann Brott
Stockholm, Sweden
