Djävulsön 1 - Älmsta/Väddö - Norrtälje

Djävulsön, a private island with a bridge connection to the mainland.

In the heart of Roslagen's living archipelago, surrounded by glittering water and greenery, lies this private island with its own car bridge to the mainland. Here you live on your own island, while still being within walking distance of Älmsta's range of services with shops, restaurants, a health centre, pharmacy and good transport links to Stockholm. Djävulsön comprises approximately 1,900 sqm of land and as much as 8,850 sqm of private water area. Already as you drive across the bridge, the feeling of having left everyday life behind sets in. It is a place that offers calm, freedom and privacy, while remaining easily accessible all year round. The house is connected to municipal water and sewerage as well as fibre broadband.

The plot is beautifully grown and carefully landscaped with open lawns, blooming lilac hedges, fruit trees and several natural spots for socialising and relaxation. Along the shoreline, both a sandy beach and a stone-cist jetty await, where morning swims, boat trips and long summer evenings become a natural part of life. The water is approx. 1.70 m deep at the jetty.

The main building underwent an extensive renovation in 2022, in which the house's archipelago character was preserved while comfort was raised to a modern standard. The result is a home with a warm atmosphere and well-considered material choices. Soaped wooden floors, horizontal panelling, beautiful wallpaper and tasteful details create an inviting environment where every room feels carefully crafted.

The generous glass verandas on both floors blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, letting the changing seasons become part of the home. Two bedrooms with the possibility of creating a third next to the glass veranda on the upper floor. In the island's best westerly position, the large terrace spreads out with an outdoor spa and a view that changes from hour to hour. Here family and friends gather for dinners in the evening sun while the sky is coloured in gold, pink and deep blue tones over the water. For guests, there are two separate guest houses that together provide generous overnight accommodation. The larger guest house offers three guest rooms as well as a sauna, relaxation area, shower and WC – a small spa section of its own by the water. The smaller guest house works equally well as extra sleeping space, a home office or a creative studio.

The property is complemented by a garage with a cast slab and an electric car charger, as well as a charming greenhouse that extends the season and creates yet another place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. But what makes Djävulsön truly special cannot be measured in square metres. The island carries a history that stretches far back in time. Already at the end of the 19th century, the place was well known in the area. According to local tales, an illegal tavern was run here during the 1870s, where moonshine was made and card games went on late into the night. Over the years, the island has had a number of colourful owners and residents who have all left their mark and contributed to its distinctive character. Djävulsön is not just a property. It is a place with soul, history and an almost unique way of life.

The opportunity to acquire a private island with a car road, its own water area, modern standard and full services within walking distance is among the absolute exceptions on the market.
