Property Description
An incredible opportunity to take a captain's farm featuring four wings in a prime location, right in the heart of Österlen, to the next level! Majestically positioned, this residence overlooks the harbour entrance, just as it has for hundreds of years.
A unique chance to acquire a captain's farm featuring four wings in a prime location in the very heart of Österlen!
The current owner purchased the estate a few years ago and, through their dedication—greatly benefiting the entire harbour environment—managed to save the property. With plenty of love and passion, they began a process that involved first stripping away the additions made over the years, as well as addressing the wear and tear of time. The buildings were cleared out to assess the need for fundamental renovations. The work of restoring the estate has now reached a stage where all buildings are secured with newly renovated (or new) roofs and structures. The natural stone foundation and the outer wall facing the sea is a story on its own. With its impressive height and weight, the wall and foundation have been meticulously reinforced to provide stability. This ensures it can support the planned veranda (see below) and the modified load-bearing beams and roof trusses internally. A significant amount of work has been completed, and the structural foundation is now in place—ready for an exciting phase to begin!
The estate is now at the thrilling stage where decisions can be made regarding how the living spaces will be arranged. At this point, the current owner has chosen to step back, leaving the final stages to new hands to bring the property to completion. An existing building permit outlines a specific plan. If any modifications are desired, discussions with the building committee will be necessary to determine the impact on the permit.
This presents the perfect opportunity for a new owner to step in without having to go through the time-consuming process of transforming a deteriorating structure into a gem. One major advantage of reaching this stage is that unforeseen costs often arise earlier in the process. In its completed structural phase, the estate allows for an accurate calculation of the remaining work and ensures the budget remains intact. Municipal water and sewage are already in place. Preparations for geothermal heating have been made, with four boreholes ready for use. Additionally, 22 custom-made windows from Kulturfönster are securely stored and ready for installation.
The captain's farm is now ready for you—whether you choose to complete it according to the current owner's vision or create something entirely your own. (See previous notes regarding the building permit.) Whatever path you take, this will ultimately become a spectacular residence. Note that the blueprints on which the building permit is based include a veranda that has not yet been approved. Should you wish to realise this feature, a new discussion with the building committee will be required.
The buildings enclose this stunning estate in an exceptionally beautiful way. The newly added dormers on the wing facing the village blend seamlessly with the historic farm setting. From these dormers, you can enjoy an unobstructed 180-degree view of the sea! In fact, nearly every window (except those facing Gamla Baskevägen) offers breathtaking sea views, with Stenshuvud as a backdrop.
Review the complete blueprint documentation, showing that the living spaces are currently divided into Residences A and B. However, nothing prevents the creation of Residences A, B, C, and D—the space and resources exist within the existing walls. According to the plans, the small guest room (formerly the old carriage house—the sunken section on the left-hand side of the "sea façade") is designated as an additional bedroom for Residence A. This section could quickly become a fully independent apartment for rental purposes, featuring a private outdoor space facing the sea and a charming loft. Whoever lives there could take the narrow passage straight to their morning swim! The barn is also included in the plans, though its intended use has been left open until Residences A and B are completed. This means there is significant potential for another stunning living space in that section. Vast spaces! One exciting idea is the possibility of an indoor pool in the wing facing the village—something entirely feasible within the current framework. What are your thoughts? As mentioned, any modifications or additions will require an updated building permit.
Less than a five-minute drive to Simrishamn, where you'll find most essential services. Train connections to Malmö/Lund and Kastrup/Copenhagen. Additionally, the area offers numerous farm shops selling berries, fruits, vegetables, meat, and more.
