Everyone has a country or region of the world they fantasize about moving to or where they hope to own a second home. If Scandinavia intrigues you, a historic property in the southeast region Sweden could be your dream come true. Compared to the prices of the Hamptons, Los Angeles, and even Connecticut, the ask for the nearly 99-acre estate may surprise you. Kåseholm Castle, along with its sprawling grounds and stylish auxiliary buildings, is listed for approximately $4.6 million USD.

The romantic castle was originally built in 1650 by Johan Urne to sit on one level. It didn’t take too long for it to develop into something a bit more substantial, with the Thott family adding its second and third levels, as well as the stunning mansard roof, in the 18th century.

Today, the antique castle and its more modern surrounding buildings exude a captivating blend of centuries-old elegance and fashionable panache. There is a total of 45,951 square feet of interiors to utilize, with each building designed with different hosting moments in mind. The separate studio kitchen, for example, was created with two-star Michelin chef Daniel Berlin and encompasses a luxury kitchen that can hold 15 guests and a dining lounge that can entertain 50 guests. Other options for hosting include the “Black Gallery” with room for art exhibitions and 150 people, the Hey Barn with space to host 200, the Greenhouse with a fireplace, and the Gate House with three bedrooms for overnight guests.

Of course, staying at the castle would be the utmost privilege. The current owners took great care to keep as many of its original details in tact while also giving the magnificent home artful renovations. With this approach, its romantic spirit is thankfully preserved while eclectic artwork, sleek elements, and colorful touches give the spaces a fresh, globally-inspired feel. Though the castle is almost 400 years old, there is nothing tired or outdated about it.

Markus Hultman of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing, which could certainly tempt many with $4.6 million to spend.
