luxury house with pool for sale Vellinge, Sweden

Situated directly on the shores of the Öresund, beside Sofiero Palace, Hovmarskalksvillan is far more than an exceptional waterfront residence. It is a rare piece of Swedish royal history, combining documented provenance, distinguished architecture and a setting of remarkable beauty. The villa was built in 1897 as the summer residence of Consul August Wingårdh, one of Helsingborg’s leading industrialists, and designed by renowned architect Ola Anderson. Originally named Villa Ekeliden, the red-brick, turreted residence was crowned by a tall tower and elegant spire, forming a distinctive silhouette along the Sound. In 1905, Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf, later King Gustaf VI Adolf, and Crown Princess Margaret acquired the property and incorporated it into the Sofiero estate. The upper section of the tower was subsequently removed, reportedly because it interrupted the view from Sofiero towards Kronborg Castle on the Danish coast. In the decades that followed, the villa served as a residence for the Marshal of the Court and other senior members of the Royal Household, giving rise to its present name, Hovmarskalksvillan – “The Court Marshal’s Villa”. After King Gustaf VI Adolf’s death in 1973, Sofiero was donated to the City of Helsingborg, while Hovmarskalksvillan remained in private ownership. The present owner acquired the estate in 2005 and has since used it exclusively for corporate representation, executive education and board meetings, rather than as a conventional family home. Between 2005 and 2008, the estate underwent an exceptionally comprehensive and sensitive restoration. The original floor plan and architectural character were preserved, while materials, details and craftsmanship were restored or recreated to the highest standard. The tower and its distinctive spire were reconstructed according to the original drawings, returning the villa to its historic silhouette for the first time in almost a century. Arranged over four floors, the main residence offers six generously proportioned bedrooms with adjoining bathrooms, together with elegant reception rooms, dining room, drawing room and office. The basement includes storage, laundry and technical facilities, a sauna and wine cellar. Expansive terraces and the upper floors enjoy uninterrupted views across the Öresund. The estate also includes a heated 8 × 14 metre swimming pool with pool house and a separate annex comprising a triple garage, basement storage and a fully equipped guest apartment. The approximately 3,900-square-metre grounds extend to a newly constructed seawall and wave-breaking quay, preserving both the gardens and the immediate connection to the water. With Sofiero Palace as its neighbour and views towards Kronborg Castle, the location is among the most distinguished on the Swedish side of the Öresund. Central Helsingborg and the ferry connection to Denmark are approximately 6 kilometres away, Copenhagen and its international airport about one hour by car, and Ängelholm Airport around 25 minutes – offering exceptional accessibility, including for owners arriving by private aircraft. Properties with documented royal connections rarely reach the open market. Hovmarskalksvillan brings together historic provenance, architectural distinction, meticulous restoration, waterfront living and outstanding international accessibility in one singular estate.

A home it’s easy to fall in love with. Designed with finesse to captivate even the most discerning property seeker. Surrounded by seemingly endless meadows, yet within comfortable social distance to the nearest neighbors. The grounds are so expansive that a previous owner even laid out a nine-hole golf course on them. Surely followed by a refreshing dip in the private pool. Life is meant to be enjoyed!

In one of Brantevik’s most sought-after coastal locations, with uninterrupted views over the Baltic Sea, stands a building that unmistakably leaves its own mark on the surrounding landscape. Constructed by Skanska in the late 1990s with a solid lightweight concrete block (Leca) structure, the house offers an architectural composition with a strong identity and an uncommon sense of scale. The distinctive glass gables and uninterrupted sightlines create a direct connection to the sea throughout the house. Large black steel-framed windows meet corten steel and rendered volumes in warm earth tones, a meeting of the industrial and the organic that makes the house impossible to confuse with anything else. The volumes are generous, and the floor plan provides the conditions for both private living and commercial use within the same structure. For a period, the property has been used for both purposes, offering a buyer the opportunity to adapt and further develop the house according to their own needs and ambitions. There is a clear foundation to build upon, whether the intention is a purely residential home or an integrated live/work solution. A business has been operated here throughout the years, and the possibility of acquiring the company is available. The entrance and kitchen form a central part of the overall composition. The kitchen is a Jacob Jensen kitchen equipped with Gaggenau appliances, developed under the project management of the renowned Ola Silved, where influences from Japanese design are reflected in both the choice of materials and the design language. From the dining area, you look directly out over the sea through floor-to-ceiling windows—an experience that is repeated from room to room. The bedrooms and attic spaces on the upper floor follow the dramatic geometry of the roof, where timber-clad vaults and sculptural panelling create a spatial atmosphere entirely their own. Several bedrooms have the horizon as their backdrop. The architect-designed garden is inspired by Japanese architecture, where levels, waterfalls, pathways, and materials interact with the house’s architectural expression. A landscaped pond with reeds and stone lies directly adjacent to the house and can be experienced from several rooms. The swimming pool was installed in 2000 and was recently fitted with new pool lining in 2025. The house has stood in its place for nearly three decades and bears the marks of the time that has passed. It is a property for someone who appreciates originality and wants to leave their own mark on its next chapter, with architecture, location, and history as the natural starting point.
