The perfect Xmas gift: A Swedish village?

A Christmas shopper could essentially own a Swedish village where a ski resort and two hotels are selling for $45.6 million, a real estate official says.

Real estate agent Lennart Ekdahl said for those who have everything, more than 11 square miles of land is being sold in the Swedish village of Storlien along with an attached ski resort and two hotels, The Local reported Thursday.

Ekdahl said as an added bonus for any potential suitors for the property there is the fact that the Swedish royal family has a vacation home in the area.

That adds a touch of class to the whole thing. The buyer could christen the village 'Royal Storlien,' the agent said. It's fun having something that is just a bit different.

Storlien businessman Lars Nilsson says the village is not officially up for sale, but admits a generous offer would prompt a hard decision, the Local reported.

In actuality, Storlien isn't for sale. But if someone comes by and wants to pay 360 million kronor ($45 million) and doesn't want to haggle, then I can imagine selling, he said.
