The author shows that every torsion-free virtually poly-\(\mathbb Z\) group of Hirsch length 4 arises as the fundamental group of a closed 4-manifold with a geometry of solvable Lie type. Earlier results due to [\textit{K. Dekimpe}, Almost-Bieberbach groups: affine and polynomial structures. Lecture Notes in Mathematics. 1639. Berlin: Springer (1996; Zbl 0865.20001)] dealt with the virtually nilpotent case. The paper deals with the non-virtually nilpotent case, and gives explicit representations of the possible fundamental groups as lattices in the appropriate isometry groups. The author also gives an ad hoc low dimensional argument in most cases that the group determines the manifold up to diffeomorphism.
