Summary:
Experience an exclusive lakeside getaway with sauna, jacuzzi, motorboats, firepit dinners, pizza nights and BBQ by the water. Step from the terrace to your private dock and spend the day boating, swimming and relaxing by one of Sweden’s largest lakes. The estate accommodates up to 14 guests with panoramic lake views, sunset evenings and everything prepared for a seamless stay.
The Space:
Perched on a private lakeside headland, The Nabbe offers a rare combination of privacy, nature and lakefront living. Surrounded by water and connected to a calm lake, it feels like your own private retreat.
Spend your days boating, swimming from the beach, relaxing in the lakeside sauna, or unwinding in the jacuzzi overlooking the water. Gather around the fire pit, enjoy pizza nights by the lake, or cook together in the outdoor kitchen while watching the sunset.
Inside, the villa combines Scandinavian design with generous social spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame panoramic lake views, while the living room with fireplace and six-metre-high ceiling creates a warm gathering place throughout the year.
The dining area comfortably seats large groups, and the fully equipped kitchen is designed for shared meals and long evenings together.
With six bedrooms, two bathrooms and space for up to 12 guests, The Villa Nabben is ideal for families, friends and memorable lakeside getaways.
