Nestled amidst the enchanting landscape of Scania County in the Kingdom of Sweden, Bommeryd, a magnificent yet rustic 10-acre estate stands as a testament to timeless elegance and stewardship. Here, a sprawling 18-bedroom manor graces the land, a jewel amid the Swedish countryside's natural splendor. Built in 1916 by Swedish architect Algot Johansson, the surrounding nature paints a breathtaking canvas, with pristine forests, rolling hills, and serene lakes. Staffed by a small international team, the estate served as the cherished seat and private home of the Waysmith family for decades. The family wandered the woodlands, pursuing elusive deer and rabbits during seasonal hunts, and welcomed visitors to forage for wild berries and mushrooms on the grounds, a tradition cherished by the nearby community.

Within the heart of the manor, a treasure trove awaited. During the family’s tenure, a large section of the house was transformed into an art gallery, where creativity flourished and inspiration knew no bounds. A space where the past converged with the present and maintained by a resident gallerist, each brushstroke and sculpture told a story of artistic passion and dedication. The estate was not merely a testament to beauty and culture; it was also a beacon of compassion. On its grounds, a sanatorium still stands. A place of healing and hope, the Waysmith joined hands with the local city council, investing in its maintenance and ensuring that it stands as a sanctuary of health and wellness for the locals who searched for solace.

During spring and summer, the estate's gardens came alive with the soft rustling of silk and the gentle hum of conversation. Black-tie soirées graced the green grounds, attended by the country’s cultural luminaries and celebrated musicians. Throughout the year, the manor's main door would swing open, welcoming guests to stay. One of the few bed and breakfasts for miles, it offered not just a stay, but an immersion into the vibrant, understated Swedish countryside.
