A Timeless Luxury Retreat by the Sea
Enjoy the very best of the Stockholm archipelago from this exceptional waterfront residence, where timeless charm meets modern comfort. Villa Solbacka 1911 is a beautifully restored estate offering a rare combination of privacy, space, and understated luxury — complete with a private dock and your own included motorboat to explore the surrounding islands with ease.
Set on the idyllic island of Skarpö, just outside Vaxholm, the villa is easily accessible by car via a short car ferry. The property is made for long summer days and slow evenings, surrounded by a magical natural garden and peaceful shoreline where the rhythm of the archipelago becomes part of your daily life.
With seven bedrooms spread across a main house and two guest houses, the estate is ideal for large families or groups of friends. Whether you’re gathering for a celebratory dinner, enjoying quiet mornings on the terrace, or heading out by boat for a seaside lunch, this is a home designed to be shared and enjoyed together.
Inside, the original architecture and character have been carefully preserved — from warm wooden floors to soft light through traditional windows — while every comfort of modern living has been added. Newly renovated bathrooms, a fully updated kitchen with high-end appliances, and stylish Scandinavian furnishings ensure both function and beauty throughout.

Explore the area
Villa Solbacka 1911 is located on the island of Skarpö, just outside Vaxholm. The island is known for its large, historic summer houses and quiet, winding roads — a perfect setting for peaceful walks or bike rides. With its untouched early 20th-century villas in arts and crafts style, Skarpö is considered a nationally significant area of cultural heritage. Though it feels secluded, it’s easily accessible by car via a short ferry ride, or by boat.
Nearby Vaxholm is one of the archipelago’s most iconic towns — home to colorful wooden houses, small boutiques, cafés, and the historic Vaxholm Fortress, which once protected Stockholm’s entrance from the sea. The area is steeped in maritime history and Swedish summer charm, and it’s only about 20 minutes away by car.
Some of our favorite destinations for dining or day trips include:
Artipelag – A modern art museum set in nature, offering exhibitions, walking trails, and a great restaurant. About 60 minutes by car.
Grinda Wärdshus – A classic island inn serving seasonal Swedish food in a peaceful setting. Around 30–35 minutes by boat.
Svartsö Krog – A relaxed and beautifully located archipelago restaurant. About 35–40 minutes by boat.
