Cheap houses for sale in Kalmar, Sweden

Kalmar County runs along Sweden's south-east coast and inland into the forests of Småland. It includes the island of Öland, the town of Kalmar with its castle, and inland municipalities such as Vimmerby, the birthplace of Astrid Lindgren, and Hultsfred. Inland, the landscape is classic Småland: spruce and pine forest, small lakes, stone walls and red houses in clearings.

Our listings in Kalmar County are inland, where houses are much cheaper than on the coast or on Öland. Expect timber houses in forest clearings and single-storey villas with big plots, close enough to small towns for everyday shopping but far enough out to be quiet. The region is a popular choice for Dutch, German and Danish buyers looking for a house in nature within driving distance of home.

Before buying, check whether the house is on municipal water and sewage or has its own well and septic system, and whether the broker has a recent inspection. Our Sweden buying guide explains the buyer's duty to inspect and the costs of registering ownership. Also see the neighbouring Småland county of Kronoberg.
