From the agent: "On the quiet island of Tierra Verde, a home suspended in time and originally designed and built in Swedish Longhouse style for the iconic band ABBA has come to the market for the first time in almost four decades. Imagine the band members arriving at the home under the grand porte cochere and beginning their time away from London in this home, custom designed for relaxation and fun. The small island community of Tierra Verde is a very desirable place to live, and Fort De Soto is a short car or boat ride away."

At the home’s entry, a lush front lawn peppered with mature trees extends a warm welcome.
