In Sweden, assuming that $125k of that disappears in taxes, it’d leave you with 1.2M SEK. There are currently ~650 properties on Hemnet between 1M and 1.25M. I’d suggest maybe this one in Ödeshög at 1.1M SEK? https://www.hemnet.se/bostad/villa-3rum-odeshog-odeshogs-kom... Not the biggest, but it’s reasonably well done up, comes with 2/3rds of an acre of land, is near a main motorway to get to places, and near the shore of the biggest lake in the country. If you want to take a train then it’s 30 minutes drive to the nearest station on the Stockholm-Copenhagen line.
Ödeshög is like “Abandoned Pile”, not inspiring.
Still cool that you can get a house so cheap in Sweden.
I mean, take your pick! Here’s the listing page for all 1M-1.25M SEK houses: https://www.hemnet.se/bostader?price_max=1250000&price_min=1...
This price level won’t get you close to a major city, but being within a quick drive or a bus of a reasonably sized town should be doable. (And now I’ve just seen this slice of the late 60s, wow: https://www.hemnet.se/bostad/villa-5rum-centralt-hedemora-he...)
