Clifftop Swedish Retreat

Perched atop a cliff, this spectacular Swedish retreat is up for grabs. Located just about an hour south of Stockholm, the cantilevered house seems to float, offering gorgeous views of the island-dotted ocean stretching out before it. The gravity-defying house was designed by Trigueiros Architects, it sits on stilts treading as lightly as possible on the natural stony terrain. Clad in Siberian larch, the minimalist house is adorned with a sprawling wraparound balcony, and is composed of expansive walls of glass for stunning views all around. It also has direct access to the beach, as well as its very own pier and private sauna.
