Viby Gård – Historic estate with residence, agriculture, forest, and hunting

Viby Gård is an exceptionally beautiful and completely private estate located in the rolling cultural landscape of Vallentuna, in the parish of Markim. The grounds cover over 217 hectares of contiguous land and are strategically situated on a hill with wide views over its own fields, meadows, and forest. The farm center forms the heart of the estate and lies centrally between the rational arable land to the south and the productive, well-developed forest area to the north.

The estate has a long and rich history, with traces dating back to the Late Bronze Age. The farm is first mentioned in writing in 1288 and has been owned by the same family since 1922. Now Viby Gård is being handed over to a new owner who can further develop and manage the business and the estate.

At the center is the representative manor house from 1872, with many preserved original details, high ceilings, and a classic layout. In addition, there are several residential buildings, including a carefully renovated tenant house, a guest house, and a former workers' house. The farm is complemented by a large number of agricultural buildings, barns, halls, and workshops, suitable for various forms of agriculture and storage.

The arable and pasture land is currently leased and provides stable income. The forest area of about 116 hectares of productive forest has a current forestry plan with good growth, a diverse tree species distribution, and considerable timber stock. Conservation values exist in the form of registered biotopes and areas of high ecological value.

Thanks to the combination of open fields and forest, the estate offers excellent hunting opportunities, including small game, wild boar, and moose. Viby Gård is thus a rare and complete property that uniquely combines representative living, agricultural entrepreneurship, forestry, nature, and hunting.
