Hejsan! How was your weekend?
As long-term readers will know, I live in Skåne, in southern Sweden, and this time of year it really comes into its own. Have you been here in summer? The fields are glowing, the beaches fill with life, and the little cafés and farm shops buzz just enough to feel alive, but never rushed.
Tucked into the rolling landscape of Österlen is Hagestad Nygård, a farmstead with over a hundred years of history. Built with care by Esbjörn Persson, it still carries that sense of craftsmanship and calm. And since 2020, it has been cared for with a lovely blend of preservation and gentle modern updates.
The property comprises three separate buildings, which serve as separate dwellings and also a relaxation area, complete with a small, lush indoor pool. And outside, a saltwater pool awaits on warmer days.
The interiors are warm and expressive, with earthy tones, bold accents, and just the right amount of dramatic flair. And each room feels thoughtful, but never staged. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger—throw open a window, make a coffee, and stay awhile.
Oh, and the sea is just a short bike ride away, and villages like Kåseberga and Löderup are nearby, full of character and that Österlen summer energy I always find hard to put into words.
Did I mention this place is actually for sale via Christies? Your new home, perhaps? Take the tour and see for yourself. You might just fall in love.
Such an incredible property! I love the sense of drama in those walls with their rich, time-worn patina.
Lately, I’ve been dreaming of a sunken bath that feels like a little pool. We definitely don’t have the space (or budget) for one—but a girl can dream, right?
What stands out to you most about Hagestad Nygård? Tempted to make it your home? It would be a big life change… but such a good one, don’t you think? You can read more about it and see more pictures here.
How about a lovely, slow start to the week and a peek at a few more Skånegårds today?

Such a lovely dwelling place. The patina'd walls are spectacular....and the tree in the inside pool room is genius. I notice that there are plants and flowers everywhere in the house which brings the outdoors inside. I am sure that anything for sale by Christies is beyond my means, but being able to use ideas from this home to give my own that sense of calm is hopefully obtainable. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home. : > )
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the sunroom with yellow, orange and red flowers. Maybe Time stood still. Love the blue patina and antique furniture, not so fond of the patina in the bedroom, but the fabrics in it are beautiful. Another soft spot is the relaxation area, with concrete walls and greenery, then the pergola. Reminds me of Gotland. Must come with huge acreage.
