Synonymous with breathtaking landscapes, charming towns and striking architecture, the enchanting allure of the Nordics is, for many, unrivaled. This week heralds the launch of Knight Frank’s partnership with Croisette, a leader in real estate in the region with 25 residential locations across Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.

The alliance comes at a time when international buyers are increasingly turning their gaze to Sweden's property market. New research from Knight Frank reveals that foreign ownership of second homes in Sweden increased 6.3% in 2022 compared to before the pandemic. Beyond the draw of recent price adjustments, a weakened Krona and enticing tax benefits, Sweden's reputation for safety, privacy and outstanding quality of life emerges as a magnet for overseas buyers.  

Here, we present a selection of superb properties for sale in the Nordics. From a historically rich Swedish manor to a secluded retreat admist Iceland's captivating landscapes, these homes capture the distinctive charm of this breathtaking region.
