Four beautiful homes in the Nordics
From the Sweden's rolling countryside to Iceland's dramatic landscapes, we explore remarkable homes for sale in this enchanting region.
Synonymous with breathtaking landscapes, charming towns and striking architecture, the enchanting allure of the Nordics is, for many, unrivaled. This week heralds the launch of Knight Frank’s partnership with Croisette, a leader in real estate in the region with 25 residential locations across Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.
The alliance comes at a time when international buyers are increasingly turning their gaze to Sweden's property market. New research from Knight Frank reveals that foreign ownership of second homes in Sweden increased 6.3% in 2022 compared to before the pandemic. Beyond the draw of recent price adjustments, a weakened Krona and enticing tax benefits, Sweden's reputation for safety, privacy and outstanding quality of life emerges as a magnet for overseas buyers.
Here, we present a selection of superb properties for sale in the Nordics. From a historically rich Swedish manor to a secluded retreat admist Iceland's captivating landscapes, these homes capture the distinctive charm of this breathtaking region.
