The CoS forum is full of enquiries about buying property in Sweden. Which got me thinking...
If you're looking for something quietly located, with sea views, a low-maintenance garden and a main residence built by local craftsmen with the finest materials, this might just be the place.
Ingmar Bergman's sublime home on Fårö off the northern tip of Gotland is now for sale, through Christie's Great Estates in London.
Imagine sitting in your own private cinema, where Bergman himself watched films on a daily basis. Daunting. Are you up to it? Have you got the guts to watch 'Dumb and Dumber' there?
Think about it for a day, then talk to your personal banker. If you're in a 'strong financial position', this must be the ultimate - especially if you love your flicks. But rumour has it the entire property is a popcorn-free zone. Sega råttor (literally 'chewy rats', a Swedish sweet) are fine, according to Bergman's last wishes.

I suggest we pool our resources and make an offer on one of the pine trees.
