Nordkapsvägen 22 - Furusund - Norrtälje

Villa Lido. One of the most exclusive private waterfront estates in the Stockholm archipelago.

Some properties you buy. Others become part of the family's history.

Villa Lido, also known as Ryssvillan, is one of the most distinctive and magnificent private villas in Roslagen, a National Romantic gem that brings to mind the splendid merchant villas of Djursholm rather than traditional archipelago architecture. With its elevated, unobstructed position above the sea, its broad shoreline and the monumental stone staircase leading down to the water, this is a seaside property of rare caliber.

The property comprises two contiguous properties totaling approximately 11,600 sqm of land (approx. 1.1 hectares). The built-up property, Nordkapsvägen 22, comprises 5,311 sqm, while the undeveloped neighboring property, Nordkapsvägen 24, adds a further 6,290 sqm. Together they create an unusually large and private waterfront estate with generous development potential and a sense of exclusive seclusion.

The stately main building offers close to 450 sqm of living space, distributed across generous reception rooms and many bedrooms. Here you will find a rare combination of impressive volumes and preserved original details, beautiful wooden floors, several fireplaces, unique tiled stoves and a solid structure that gives the next owner the opportunity to carefully refine a home of the very highest class. The standard is dated, but the quality and potential are virtually unlimited.

From the villa's reception rooms and terraces, the sea is ever present. The broad stone staircase leads down through the garden to the shoreline and becomes a natural gathering point for all of summer's occasions. Here it is easy to imagine grand dinners, weddings, family celebrations and long summer nights.

The history is as fascinating as the architecture. Villa Lido was built by a Swedish-Russian industrialist with a fortune from the Russian oil investments of that era. In the early 20th century, Russia was one of Sweden's most important trading partners, and many Swedish entrepreneurs built considerable fortunes before the Russian Revolution changed everything.

Municipal water and sewerage are connected, making the historic residence practical.

Villa Lido is more than a villa. It is a piece of Swedish cultural history, an archipelago icon and one of Furusund's most impressive waterfront properties. A place where architecture, history and the sea meet in a setting rarely offered on the market – the property is as magnificent today as when it was built over a hundred years ago.

This property is sold exclusively on the off-market via Magnusson Mäkleri. Contact the responsible agent to book a viewing. Viewings are possible from the end of August.
