luxury house with reception room for sale Ystad, Sweden

Amid the open landscapes of Söderslätt, where the sky meets gently rolling fields and historic avenues still tell stories of a bygone era, stands this extraordinary Art Nouveau villa, built in 1906 and imbued with the grandeur of a manor house. Commissioned by one of the region’s most successful businessmen during an era defined by optimism, craftsmanship and architectural ambition, the property remains one of the area’s most impressive private residences to this day. This is a house that is not merely beautiful – it was designed to impress. Every detail still conveys the same sense of quality, confidence and craftsmanship that defined the property when it was built more than a century ago. More than a substantial residence of just over 800 square metres of total floor area, this is a lifestyle estate steeped in history, character and an almost manor-like atmosphere. The combination of stately architecture, park-like gardens, a tennis court, apple orchard, greenhouse, party barn and an almost fairytale-like leafy bower creates an ensemble that is exceptionally difficult to find – not only in Vellinge Municipality, but anywhere in southern Sweden. Properties of this calibre rarely come to market. For those seeking something truly exceptional, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Söderslätt’s genuine landmarks, while creating the next chapter in a story that began in 1906. A unique opportunity to own a piece of Skåne’s cultural heritage – preserved, cherished and ready to be carried forward by the next generation.

In the heart of Falsterbo’s most exclusive and historically significant quarter stands this truly unique half-timbered villa—a property where centuries of history are seamlessly combined with timeless and sophisticated living. Set on a rare and exceptionally generous plot of approximately 2,700 sq m, the estate is framed by mature greenery and an enchanting boxwood maze. The atmosphere is peaceful and almost storybook-like—a home where time seems to move just a little more slowly.

Behind the black-painted wrought-iron fence at Michael Löfmans gata 1 stands one of Tågaborg’s most beautiful villas—a stately stone residence dating from 1924, distinguished by its steep gable, newly laid red-tiled roof, and a classical elegance that has only grown more refined with time. Between 2023 and 2025, the property underwent one of the area’s most extensive and meticulously executed renovations. The soul of the house has been carefully preserved—its proportions, decorative cornices, curved balcony balustrades, and the characteristic round windows overlooking the kitchen remain intact—while every surface, installation, and detail has been thoughtfully and consistently brought into the present day. The result is a home where everything has been completed and renewed, allowing its next owners to focus on what matters most: enjoying life within it. Michael Löfmans gata borders Vikingsbergsparken, one of Helsingborg’s most cherished green spaces, and from the upper-floor balconies the sea can be glimpsed through the treetops. From here, one can walk to schools, the beach, Pålsjö Forest, and the city’s cafés and restaurants before returning home through the lockable gates to a private garden that surrounds the house on all sides. The 624 sqm plot is mature and beautifully landscaped, having recently undergone a comprehensive redesign. Tall hedges, newly laid granite setts and cobblestones, and carefully selected plantings of rhododendrons, hydrangeas, and peonies ensure that the garden remains in bloom from early spring until late autumn. At the rear of the property, a raised 60 sqm terrace facing northwest provides the perfect setting for long dinners in the evening sun. At the front, there is parking for four vehicles, two installed Tesla charging stations, and a garage for one car. A custom-built stone staircase leads to a black entrance door, opening into a generous entrance hall that immediately sets the tone. Limestone flooring from Stiltje, light oak parquet flooring from Bjelin, a gracefully curved staircase clad in sisal carpet, and a sense of understated symmetry create an elegant flow throughout the home. The living room connects naturally to a bespoke library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. A fireplace forms the heart of the space, while windows facing three directions allow natural light to move beautifully through the room throughout the day. Beyond lies the dining room and the open-plan Kvik kitchen, installed in 2024, featuring composite worktops, marble splashbacks, and integrated Siemens appliances. The distinctive round windows—one of the home’s original architectural signatures—are positioned above both the sink and the cooker. The dining room opens directly onto the terrace, while a fully tiled bathroom completed in 2024 is conveniently located by the side entrance. The upper floor serves as the home’s private retreat. Here, a principal bedroom is accompanied by a walk-in wardrobe, alongside an additional bedroom and a room equally suited as a study or children’s bedroom. A bright family room opens onto a balcony, while a spacious bathroom with double washbasins also enjoys balcony access. Bjelin parquet flooring extends throughout the floor, complemented by elegant marble window sills. Beneath the vaulted dormer ceilings, a private attic level offers two large rooms and a walk-in wardrobe. This sophisticated space is ideal as a teenager’s suite, guest accommodation, or additional living quarters, with views across Tågaborg’s sea of red-tiled rooftops and glimpses of the Øresund shimmering between the trees. The former basement has been transformed into a fully integrated additional floor of 103 sqm. Underfloor-heated ceramic tile flooring unifies the various spaces, which include a spacious laundry room with double Electrolux washer and dryer sets and a drying cabinet, a billiard room, gym, sauna with shower, wine and food cellar, separate WC, and several practical storage rooms.
