Description

On a still morning, you step out onto the south-facing terrace with a coffee in hand and the entire surface of Hansemakerkilen is flat as glass, broken only by a cormorant cutting low across the water. The smell of pine and salt. Not a car in earshot. This is what sixty-odd square meters and 2,261 square meters of landscaped coastal plot can do for a person. And you're just over an hour from downtown Oslo.

Grimsøya is one of those places that regulars are quietly glad hasn't been discovered by everyone. The island sits in the Hvaler-adjacent archipelago of Østfold, tucked into the Oslofjord's eastern reaches near Skjeberg — and its particular combination of sheltered inlets, open-sky meadows, and genuine quiet is hard to replicate anywhere closer to the capital. Grimsøyveien 343 sits right at the edge of that world.

The chalet itself was built in 1964, which means it has bones. Real ones. Over the decades it's been steadily updated without losing the compact Nordic cabin logic that makes these properties work: every square meter earns its place, storage is thought through, and the orientation — south-facing terrace, large windows in the living area — means you're chasing light rather than hiding from it. The triple-glazed wooden windows with aluminum exterior cladding were replaced more recently, and the difference in both warmth retention and visual crispness is immediate. A wood-burning stove installed in 2013 sits as the room's focal point through autumn and into May, when the fjord evenings still carry a proper chill.

The kitchen is open to the living space and fitted with profiled cabinetry, solid wood countertops, and all the appliances you'd actually need for a week's worth of cooking without a supermarket run. Fifty meters from the water means the catch-of-the-day scenario is less fantasy than genuine weekend plan. The bedroom is a proper room. There's also a sleeping alcove that works well for a child or a guest who doesn't mind cozy quarters.

Outside is where this property really makes its case. The plot is generous — over 2,200 square meters — and it manages to feel both maintained and natural at the same time: grassy areas that get sun most of the afternoon, mature trees providing wind cover from the north, and direct access to Hansemakerkilen's shoreline without crossing anyone else's land. The inlet itself is calm and warm enough for swimming by late June, and the combination of sheltered water and low boat traffic makes it ideal for kayaking or paddleboarding out toward the open archipelago. The large terrace is fitted with a modern awning, so a sudden July drizzle doesn't interrupt a long lunch.

There are two annexes on the property — one at 10 square meters, one at 13 — that function as overflow sleeping space, a hobby room, or straightforward storage. Worth knowing: the expansion of these structures hasn't been formally approved by the municipality, which is not uncommon for older leisure properties in Norway and something to factor into due diligence before purchase. The main cabin, however, is connected to both the municipal water and sewage systems — a real practical advantage over many comparable cabins in the region that still rely on private wells and outhouse arrangements. Fiber broadband is live on the property, which matters for anyone who wants to stretch a Friday-to-Tuesday visit into a working week.

Car access right to the cabin is genuinely rare in this part of the coast, where plenty of island plots require a short walk from a shared parking area. Here, there's a dedicated parking spot with electricity and lighting alongside the property. Grimsøy Marina is within walking distance and offers the possibility of renting a boat slip by the season — which opens up the entire outer archipelago, including runs across to the Swedish islands of Kosterfjord on a calm day.

Speaking of Sweden: Halden is about fifteen minutes by car. The Fredriksten Fortress there is one of the best-preserved military fortifications in Scandinavia, and the town has developed a genuinely good food scene around Brekkerøa — worth a dinner out mid-week. The border crossing at Svinesund is only a few kilometers further, making a Swedish supermarket run or a day exploring Strömstad an easy add-on.

Dusa beach, a local favorite with a sandy bottom and clear water, is close enough for a morning walk before breakfast. The nature reserve adjacent to Grimsøya offers marked trails through coastal forest — not epic ridge-walks, but the kind of hour-long circuits that reset the nervous system without requiring hiking poles. Spring brings wood anemones through the understory and oystercatchers back to the rocks. Late summer, the light stays until nearly ten o'clock and the archipelago turns amber.

For international buyers evaluating a second home in Norway, the practical picture is favorable. Norway has no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing property, and the Norwegian leisure property market — particularly within 90 minutes of Oslo — has demonstrated consistent demand. Cabins at this price point in coastal Østfold represent accessible entry into a market where supply of water-adjacent properties with car access, full utilities, and this much outdoor space is genuinely limited. The property's rental appeal is also real: Oslo-based families looking for summer week rentals in the Oslofjord region book early, and a property with fiber, parking, and waterfront proximity commands solid short-term rates through platforms operating in the Norwegian market.

At 235,000 euros, this is a vacation home that makes arithmetic sense as well as emotional sense.

At half past ten on a midsummer evening, the sun is still high above the Lofoten skyline, burning copper across the water. You're sitting on the west-facing terrace at Kjerringøyveien 542 with a cup of coffee and nowhere to be. The fjord is right there — close enough that you can hear the faint slap of waves and, if the wind is right, the cry of Arctic terns returning to the shoreline across the road. This is Kjerringøy. Not a resort, not a holiday park — a real peninsula on the Nordland coast, where the light in summer defies logic and the silence in winter feels almost sacred. Built in 2008 and kept in genuinely good condition, this three-bedroom chalet sits on a 1,011-square-metre plot that the owners have owned outright — no leasehold complications, no shared title headaches. For international buyers used to navigating fractional ownership or ground rent clauses, that's worth pausing on. The land is yours. All 1,011 square metres of it, with multiple beach access points literally across the road. The cabin itself runs to 70 square metres of well-organised interior. Step through the front door and a sliding-wardrobe entrance hall takes the chaos of outdoor living — hiking boots, waterproof trousers, fishing gear — and makes it disappear before you reach the main living space. The open-plan kitchen and living room is where the 2008 build quality really shows. Large windows face west and pull in the last light of the evening, framing the fjord and the mountain ridgeline beyond like a painting that changes every hour. There's a wood-burning stove in the corner, the kind that becomes the gravitational centre of the room on November evenings when the temperature drops and the Aurora Borealis starts making appearances abo ... click here to read more

Wake up to the sound of water lapping against the shore and nothing else. No traffic. No alarms. Just the low call of a great northern diver drifting across Tyrifjorden at 6am while the morning light turns the fjord surface into hammered copper. That's a Tuesday at Tangenveien 50. This 1959 timber chalet sits directly on the water's edge at Kroksund, one of the narrowest and most dramatic pinch-points along Tyrifjorden — a lake so large it creates its own weather, so clear in summer you can see three meters down from a rowboat. The plot stretches across 1,199 square meters of leased land, giving the property a generous natural buffer from the rest of the world. The terrace — 20 square meters of sun-drenched outdoor living — faces the fjord dead-on. Sit there long enough with a coffee and you'll start rethinking your entire relationship with city life. At 43 square meters, the main cabin is compact the way a well-designed sailboat is compact: every centimeter works. The living room runs on natural light thanks to large windows aligned directly with the water view — in the late afternoon, the sun drops over the Krokskogen ridge behind you and the light on the fjord turns amber, then pink, then gone. The kitchen keeps things simple and functional: smooth-fronted cabinetry, a solid wood worktop, a stainless steel sink, and an externally vented hood — the kind of practical detail that matters when you're cooking fresh perch you pulled out of the fjord two hours earlier. A wood stove anchors the living space, and on September evenings when the air sharpens and the birch trees along the shore start turning yellow, you'll be very glad it's there. Three bedrooms across the main cabin, an annex, and a playhouse. That last sente ... click here to read more

The boat engine cuts off. Suddenly it's just the sound of water lapping against the hull, a pair of oystercatchers calling from somewhere along the shoreline, and the faint creak of the old wooden pier as you step ashore. That's your pier. That's your lake. And that's the moment most owners say they knew this was the one. Sitting directly on the water's edge of Regnarvatnet at 327 metres above sea level, this 62-square-metre chalet is the kind of place that genuinely does not come up often. Forty-six metres of private shoreline. Solar power. Water drawn directly from the lake wall. No road noise, no neighbours in sight, just the Norwegian wilderness doing what it does — putting on a quiet, relentless show from sunrise to well past nine in the evening during July. The cabin itself dates to the 1950s, expanded in the 1990s and renovated steadily since. It shows. Whitewashed timber surfaces, large windows replaced in 2016 that frame wide views across the water, and an open-plan kitchen and living area that feels genuinely social rather than cramped. On summer mornings, the light comes through those windows at an angle that turns the wooden floors amber. You'll stop noticing the kitchen is running on gas after about day two — it works, it's efficient, and it suits the rhythm of a place like this perfectly. Two ground-floor bedrooms cover the basics: a proper master room and a second bedroom with a family bunk setup, ideal for kids or extra guests. The loft above adds two further rooms with built-in beds — low ceilings, yes, but the kind of cosy that children absolutely love and adults secretly do too. In total, this chalet sleeps a full family group without anyone feeling squeezed. The bathroom setup is honest: a storage ... click here to read more

Welcome to Regnarvatnet 42 - Photo by Robin Malm.

Step outside on a February morning and the world is white and silent except for the crunch of your boots and the distant hiss of skis on groomed snow. The cross-country trails are literally 100 metres from your front door. You can smell coffee still brewing in the kitchen. This is what owning a mountain chalet in Eggedal actually feels like — and once you've had a taste of it, a standard hotel weekend never quite cuts it again. Sitting at 861 metres above sea level in the Haglebu recreational area of Numedal, this three-bedroom timber chalet at Nedre Åsseterlia 14 is the kind of property that gets passed down through families. The 80-square-metre layout is honest and unfussy — wooden-panelled walls, exposed ceiling beams, a cast-iron fireplace that does serious work on cold evenings. Nothing is trying too hard. It just works. The living room catches the mountain light in the afternoon, and the large windows frame views that shift with every season — deep pine green in July, flame-orange birch in September, and that particular blue-white silence of a Norwegian winter. The open-plan kitchen connects directly to the living space with a bar-counter setup, which means whoever's making the reindeer stew or the Saturday waffles doesn't miss the conversation. Pine cabinetry, solid wood countertops, a dishwasher — practical without being clinical. Three proper bedrooms give the place real versatility. The master fits a double bed comfortably, and the two additional rooms are set up with bunk beds — genuinely useful when you've got kids or a group of friends along for a ski weekend. Above the entrance hall, a loft accessed by a fixed ladder provides extra sleeping capacity, bringing the total to around eight people. The bathroo ... click here to read more

Welcome to Nedre Åsseterlia 14!

Step off the veranda at Skirød 9 and you're three paces from the water. Not a view of it from across a road, not a glimpse between neighboring plots — the actual shoreline of Vansjø, one of Norway's largest and cleanest inland lakes, right there at your feet. On a calm July morning, the surface is glassy enough to reflect the treeline on the far bank, and the only sounds are a woodpecker working at a birch somewhere behind the cabin and the soft knock of your rowboat against the mooring post. That boat mooring is one of those details that changes how a property actually feels to live in. On a whim, you can paddle out at dusk. You can fish for pike and perch without loading a car. Guests arriving at the annex can grab kayaks and be on open water before breakfast is even ready back at the main cabin. The cabin itself was built in 1974 and has that honest, no-fuss Nordic character that newer builds spend a lot of money trying to fake. The living room and kitchen share an open space anchored by a slate-clad wood-burning stove — the kind that radiates enough heat to make October evenings genuinely cozy rather than just tolerable. Large windows frame the lake rather than just acknowledging its existence, and in the long light of a Norwegian summer evening, the interior glows in a way that's hard to describe without sounding like a postcard. A new corrugated steel roof was fitted in 2022, so the big-ticket maintenance is already done. The 55-square-meter veranda wraps around the front of the cabin, partly covered so rain doesn't cancel outdoor dinners. This is where life at Skirød 9 really happens — coffee at the uncovered end in the morning sun, a long lunch in the shade, and then back out again as the evening light shifts ... click here to read more

Welcome to Skirød 9 - A cabin gem in scenic surroundings close to idyllic Vansjø!

On a clear July morning, you open the double balcony doors and the smell hits you first—salt air mixed with pine, drifting up from the Hjeltefjorden. The water below is mirror-flat. Somewhere down at Træet, a kid cannon-balls off the diving board into the natural seawater pool. You put the kettle on. This is not a fantasy. This is a Tuesday. Træsbrekkene 29 is a well-kept two-bedroom chalet in Follese, sitting on a genuinely flat, genuinely sunny 2,499-square-metre plot with direct sightlines across the fjord toward the archipelago between Askøy and Sotra. Two separate annexes, a wood-fired hot tub, 98 square metres of patios, and a carport round out a property that doesn't need reinventing—it just needs someone who wants to use it. The main cabin dates from 1964, built in that era of Norwegian leisure architecture when cabins were designed for real life rather than magazine shoots. At 40 square metres of internal living space it's compact, yes, but the ceiling height in the living room stops it from ever feeling cramped. A fireplace with a new insert and steel pipe—installed in 2020—anchors the room. Light walls, room for a proper sofa group and a dining table that seats the whole family. The double balcony doors swing out onto the main patio, so the boundary between inside and outside basically dissolves on warm evenings. The kitchen does what a cabin kitchen should: it works. Integrated appliances, real storage, no wasted corners. Cooking here on a Saturday night while guests spill out onto the terrace with glasses of aquavit is the kind of simple pleasure that gets harder to find the more money you spend on property. The two bedrooms are sensibly fitted out—the master has a custom-built bed and shelves, the second ... click here to read more

Welcome to beautiful Træsbrekkene 29. A lovely leisure property right by the sea.

Step out onto the 80-square-metre terrace on a January morning and the world is white and perfectly silent, except for the low creak of frost-laden pine branches and the distant hiss of cross-country ski tracks being groomed just beyond the tree line. That's the kind of moment this chalet in Risdal delivers, not occasionally, but every single time you arrive. Sitting at Vervassheia hytte 3 in the peaceful Froland municipality of Aust-Agder, this four-bedroom year-round cabin is the real thing — a genuine Norwegian retreat built in the classic Buen-Aarak tradition, with solid bones, a warm interior, and enough outdoor space to actually live in rather than just admire from inside. At 100 square metres of interior space plus generous covered and open terracing, it punches well above its price point of NOK 158,000. The cabin was extensively upgraded in 2010, including a new roof and a well-considered rear extension that added meaningful living space without compromising the character of the original structure. The heat pump installed roughly two and a half years ago — a 7.2 kW unit still under manufacturer's warranty — keeps every room comfortable whether it's a sharp February night or a humid August afternoon. Backup warmth comes from a traditional fireplace and a wood-burning stove. On those evenings when you light both and settle in with a glass of something, the parquet floors and warm laminate surfaces absorb the light in a way that no forced-air system ever quite matches. Four proper bedrooms mean this is not a squeeze-in-the-sleeping-bags situation. Up to ten guests can sleep comfortably, making it genuinely viable for extended family visits, a group ski week, or simply having the cousins over every summer without ... click here to read more

Picture 1

Early on a July morning at Furukollen 26, the only sounds are pine needles shifting in a light breeze and the faint lap of water from the Oslofjord, maybe three minutes down the coastal path. The coffee is on the wood stove. The south-facing plot is already catching sun. This is what a Norwegian summer cabin is supposed to feel like. Hvitsten is one of those places that Norwegians have kept quietly to themselves for generations. Tucked along the western shore of the Oslofjord in Østfold, it's a village of red and white clapboard houses, sailboats moored at small docks, and locals who've been returning to the same stretch of shoreline since childhood. Artists discovered it over a century ago — the painter Christian Krogh was drawn here, and that tradition of people seeking something genuine and unhurried in Hvitsten hasn't really changed. The village sits roughly 55 kilometres south of Oslo, about an hour's drive down the E6 and then east through Vestby, or accessible by bus from Son with a stop just four minutes' walk from this property. It's close enough to the capital to feel connected, far enough to feel completely removed. The cabin at Furukollen 26 sits on a privately owned plot of approximately 1,877 square metres — a generous spread by any measure, and extraordinary for a waterside community where land this size rarely comes to market. The terrain is natural and rugged in the best sense: granite outcroppings push up through the soil, pine trees crowd the perimeter, and the whole site slopes and rises in ways that create natural pockets of shade and sun throughout the day. A plot like this doesn't just give you space. It gives you privacy in a way that cleared, fenced garden lots never quite manage. The main cab ... click here to read more

Front view of the cabin and annex

Picture a Friday afternoon in late June. You've just turned off the E6 and onto the quiet country road toward Vikhammer, windows down, and the air already smells different — pine resin, cut grass, and something earthy and green that doesn't exist in apartment stairwells. Twenty minutes from Trondheim's Solsiden waterfront, and yet you feel properly away. That shift is exactly what these funkis-style cabins at På Landet Kolonihage are built around. Functionalism — the architectural movement Norwegians shortened to "funkis" — is having a serious moment in Scandinavian leisure property. Clean horizontal lines, flat roofs turned into usable terraces, large windows that pull the outside in. These 24 new-build cabins wear that aesthetic with conviction, not nostalgia. At 59 square metres across two floors, every square centimetre is accounted for. The open-plan kitchen and living area on the ground floor stretches to 21.3 square metres — enough for a proper dining table, a deep sofa, and still room to breathe. Oak-look countertops, integrated appliances, and a decent extractor fan: the kitchen is set up for actual cooking, not just reheating takeaway. The main bedroom runs to 10.2 square metres, with wardrobe storage built in so suitcases don't colonise the floor on arrival weekend. The second bedroom at 6.1 square metres works for children, for a guest who wants their own door to close, or for a desk and bookshelf if you've decided this is where you do your best thinking. The tiled bathroom sits on the ground floor; a separate WC upstairs keeps morning queues from forming. Small detail, real difference. Then there's the roof terrace. Eighteen square metres up top, and on a Norwegian summer evening — when the sky barely dar ... click here to read more

Welcome to Funkisfritid – a fantastic opportunity to own a top modern cabin in funkis style. Illustration.

Step outside on a July morning and the air carries salt, pine resin, and something faintly smoky from a neighbor's fire pit two plots over. The water at Rubbestadneset sits barely a hundred meters from your front terrace — flat, grey-green, and almost completely still at that hour. This is the kind of quiet that city people drive three hours to find. You won't have to drive far at all. Rubbestadneset is a small coastal community on Bømlo island, tucked into the western fjord landscape of Hordaland county between Bergen and Stavanger. Not a tourist trap. Not a postcard village selling itself to outsiders. Just a genuine Norwegian coastal settlement where families have kept holiday cabins for generations, where the neighbors actually wave, and where the sea is accessible not as a backdrop but as a daily fact of life. The E39 connects you to Bergen in roughly two and a half hours, and Stavanger is a similar drive southward — making this a legitimately usable second home for people based in either city, or for international buyers flying into Bergen Airport Flesland who want somewhere real rather than somewhere staged. The chalet at Bråtanesvegen 30 sits on its own freehold plot of 1,647 square meters. That number matters here because space at the water in western Norway is finite and rarely comes with car access all the way to the door. This one does. The driveway runs directly to the cabin, which means unloading the car after a long week in the city doesn't involve dragging bags down a gravel path in the rain. A small thing until you've done it twenty times. The main structure dates from 1978 but tells you nothing about what it was in 1978 — it's been extended in 1980, 2007, 2013, and 2017, and the result is a cabin tha ... click here to read more

Front view of the holiday home

At six in the morning, before the rest of southern Norway has stirred, you can step off the terrace at Øytangveien 338 and walk fifty meters to the edge of the Skagerrak. The water is glassy, the sky is already light—this is July in the Aust-Agder archipelago—and your boat is tied at the private jetty below, rocking gently. That moment is yours every single morning if you own this place. Set at the outermost tip of Tverrdalsøya, this three-bedroom timber chalet is the kind of coastal property that rarely surfaces in the Norwegian market. Not because it's large or lavish—65 square meters of honest, well-kept cabin living—but because it has the combination that serious buyers know is almost impossible to find together: a south-facing sunny plot, a private jetty, a registered boat space in the shared marina established in 2018, and genuine seclusion. Properties with all four of those things on the Arendal coastline don't sit on the market long. The cabin dates from 1972 and has been maintained with real care. You can see it in the details: the fireplace in the living room that still draws cleanly on autumn evenings, the large windows that frame the rocky outcrops and open sea beyond, the terrace that wraps around much of the building and catches sun from late morning until the long Scandinavian dusk. The interior living area of 51 square meters is tight by city standards, but that's never the point at a place like this. You're outside most of the time. The kitchen is functional and open to the living space, which means whoever is cooking a pan of fresh-caught mackerel doesn't miss the conversation happening on the terrace two steps away. Three bedrooms means you can bring the whole family or fill the place with friends w ... click here to read more

Seaside cabin with fantastic views

The first thing you notice on a clear July morning at Lauvåsvågen 113 is the light. It arrives early this far north, slanting gold across the Gandsfjord and bouncing off the water straight through the cabin's front windows before you've even put the kettle on. By the time you carry your coffee out to the front terrace — twenty-one meters from the shoreline, close enough to hear the soft lap of the fjord against the rocks — you start to understand why people who buy cabins in Hommersåk tend to keep them for generations. This is a proper Norwegian fritidsbolig. Built in 1956, the cabin sits on a 781-square-meter plot that feels far larger than its numbers suggest, partly because of the way the land opens toward the water, and partly because of the small wooden bridge over the creek at the entrance — a detail that gives the whole place a storybook quality without trying too hard. The plot is south-facing, sheltered from the coastal winds by mature vegetation, and developers of the surrounding area haven't crept in to crowd it. That's increasingly rare this close to Stavanger. Inside, the 39-square-meter interior is compact but considered. The open-plan kitchen and living room is the social heart of the cabin, and the large windows do the heavy lifting on the design side — when the view outside is the Gandsfjord stretching toward Stavanger, you don't need much else on the walls. A wood-burning stove anchors one corner of the living room, and on the grey autumn weekends that Rogaland is famous for, it earns its place immediately. The kitchen is practical, with a window above the sink that frames the garden and lets in the salt-tinged breeze when you crack it open. A bar-style dining area keeps meals casual and convivial, th ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the water of Lomtjønn is so still it mirrors the spruce treeline perfectly. You're standing on the upper terrace with a coffee, the only sounds a woodpecker working somewhere up the hillside and the faint creak of the hot tub cover lifting in the breeze. That's the rhythm this place sets. Not a frantic ski-resort pace, not a tourist-packed coastal summer — something slower, quieter, and frankly harder to find anywhere in Europe at this price point. Svimbilvegen 38 sits in the Heia district of Hovin i Telemark, roughly 10 kilometers from Austbygde and about 20 minutes' drive from the village center of Sandvatn. The address might not mean much if you've never spent time in Telemark, but locals know this corner of Norway as a genuinely uncrowded patch of mountain and lake country. No queues. No overpriced harbor-front restaurants. Just forest trails, cold clear water, and a landscape that stays interesting across all four seasons. The chalet itself — a main cabin plus a separate annex — sits on a 1,128 square meter plot with full sun from sunrise to sunset. That matters more than it sounds. Norwegian summer evenings stretch impossibly long, and having sun on your terraces until 9 or 10pm transforms how you use the outdoor space. There are multiple terrace levels here, adding up to 115 square meters of external deck and balcony combined, so whether you want morning light over breakfast or a shaded corner in the afternoon, you can have both without moving far. Inside the main cabin, the living room has the kind of atmosphere that takes years to develop — stained wooden wall panels, high ceilings that keep the space from feeling boxed in, and a wood-burning stove with a glass door that tur ... click here to read more

You wake up to the sound of water. Not the distant kind—the close kind, the kind that tells you the lake is right there, just past the pines, eighty meters from your front door. By the time the coffee is ready, someone has already grabbed a towel and headed down to the dock. That's the rhythm Følingen Hyttefelt 15 puts you in. And once you've had it for a weekend, you'll find it very hard to go back. Aremark sits in the far southeast of Norway, tucked into Østfold county right up against the Swedish border—a part of the country that doesn't get the postcard attention of the fjords, but rewards the people who find it with something arguably better: genuine quiet, real forest, and lakes that haven't been overrun. Aremarksjøen is the main body of water here, and it's the kind of lake where you can actually hear the surface when it's calm. Paddleboats, kayaks, small motorboats—all of it works. The fishing is serious too. Perch and pike are common pulls, and on an early July morning with mist still sitting on the water, it's the sort of scene that makes you wonder why you ever needed a flight to get somewhere meaningful. The cabin itself is 67 square metres of solid Norwegian timber construction, and it's in good condition—maintained rather than neglected, which matters more than most buyers initially realize. Walk in and the first thing you notice is the smell of wood, the kind that comes from panelled walls and solid timber flooring that have absorbed years of evening fires. The living room is genuinely liveable, not a tight squeeze: there's room for a proper sofa group and a dining table without anyone bumping elbows, which makes the difference on a rainy August afternoon when five people are inside playing cards. Both ... click here to read more

Welcome to Følingen hyttefelt 15!

You step off the boat and the engine dies. Suddenly it's just wind through pine needles, the soft lap of water against the dock, and the distant call of a great northern diver somewhere across Lake Toke. That's the moment you understand why people fall hard for Fjordøy and never quite let go. This three-bedroom timber chalet sits on its own 1,233 square metre island plot in the middle of Lake Toke, in Telemark's Drangedal municipality — one of the quieter corners of inland Norway that Norwegians have been quietly hoarding as a summer secret for decades. The cabin was built in 1964, and while it's been well maintained, it hasn't been sanitised into something generic. The low ceilings, the knotted pine walls, the south-facing terrace worn smooth by summers of bare feet — it feels like a place that has actually been lived in and loved. At 42 square metres internally, it's compact but genuinely functional. The living and dining room catches southern light for most of the day, and the direct door onto the covered terrace means meals blur between inside and outside from June right through to early September. The kitchen is simple and honest. Three bedrooms sleep a family or a group of friends without anyone having to argue over sleeping arrangements. A separate utility area of 13 square metres — attached but external — holds a storage room and a toilet, which is the kind of practical Norwegian cabin thinking that makes a property actually usable rather than just photogenic. The private shoreline and wooden boat dock are the heart of the place. Lake Toke is a serious lake — around 15 kilometres long, clear enough to swim in with confidence, deep enough to hold good-sized perch and pike. On a calm morning, you can fish from t ... click here to read more

Welcome to Fjordøy!

Step outside on a February morning and the groomed ski trail is already there, right at the edge of the plot, cutting through the snow-heavy pines of Vikerfjell. You clip into your skis before the coffee has even finished brewing. That's the particular kind of morning this cabin at Skåpmyrveien 8 makes possible — and once you've had it, it's hard to imagine spending winter any other way. Set in the Tosseviksetra area of Vikerfjell, roughly 800 metres above the valley floor and about an hour's drive from Oslo, this three-bedroom chalet with an approved separate annex is the kind of Norwegian mountain property that rarely comes onto the market at this price point. At 221,000 EUR with 86 square metres in the main cabin plus the annex, and with electricity already installed, it sits in a genuinely accessible bracket for international buyers looking for a second home in Scandinavia. The plot is leased rather than freehold, which is completely standard practice in Norwegian recreational property areas and is precisely what keeps the entry price realistic. The cabin itself is in good condition. Walk through the door and you get the open-plan living room and kitchen that Norwegians have been perfecting for generations — practical, warm, nothing wasted. The fireplace sits at the heart of it, and on a cold evening with the snow piling up outside, that cast iron heat source does things no underfloor heating system ever quite replicates. The kitchen is straightforward and honest: a traditional hytte standard that's built for actual cooking after long days outdoors, not for Instagram. Two of the three bedrooms have bunk beds, one has a double, and the whole setup handles up to 13 people across the main cabin and the annex. Big fami ... click here to read more

Front view of the cabin

The sun is still up at nine in the evening. You're sitting on the veranda at Prestenga 30, a cold glass in hand, watching the light turn the water below into something between silver and gold. The fjord doesn't move much at this hour. Neither do you. That's the point. This two-bedroom cabin in Halden's Prestenga area sits on a west-facing plot that catches the sun from mid-morning all the way through those impossibly long Norwegian summer evenings. At 54 square metres, it's compact and deliberate — every square metre pulls its weight. The interior has been completely redone in recent years: new flooring throughout, upgraded walls and ceilings, a fresh kitchen, and three double terrace doors installed along the facade that throw afternoon light deep into the living space. From almost every spot inside, you have a clear line of sight to the water. The open-plan living and kitchen area is the heart of the cabin. It works. The kitchen comes fitted with integrated appliances — all included in the sale — and there's genuine storage space rather than the token cupboards you often find in leisure properties of this size. The layout flows naturally out onto the large veranda through those terrace doors, so summer mornings tend to blur pleasantly between inside and outside. Coffee at the kitchen counter, then coffee on the veranda. Same view, better air. Both bedrooms carry the same clean, modern finish as the rest of the property. The main bedroom looks out over the water — waking up to that on a still August morning, with the smell of pine drifting in through a cracked window, is the kind of thing that makes you stop checking your phone. The second bedroom works perfectly as a children's room or guest space. The cabin sleeps ... click here to read more

Welcome to Prestenga 30!

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in July, the smell of pine and lake water drifting through a half-open window, a cup of coffee going cold on the terrace railing because you got distracted watching a pair of grebes glide across Randsfjorden. That's the specific kind of morning this cabin at Steinhusveien 5 makes possible. Not a fantasy — just a Tuesday for the people who own it. Randsfjorden is Norway's fourth-largest lake, and it gets far less tourist traffic than the bigger-name fjords to the west. The locals know this and they're not particularly eager to share it. The water is clear enough to see the bottom from a rowing boat, the fishing for pike and perch is genuinely good, and on a calm summer evening the light sits on the surface in a way that makes it almost impossible to go back inside. The chalet has its own boat mooring right below the property — not a shared dock, not a slip you have to reserve. Yours. Drop in a kayak, take out the rowing boat, or just sit on the edge with a fishing line. The lake is that close. The cabin itself was built in 1963 and it carries that era well. At 85 square metres across a 1,420-square-metre plot, it's not trying to be a hotel. It's a proper Norwegian fritidsbolig — a leisure home — designed around the idea that the outdoors is the real living room, and the indoor space is where you come in when the weather turns. Two living rooms, both with fireplaces, give the place a layered, flexible quality. Light a fire in the main room while the kids claim the second one. The large windows pull the fjord right into the space; in winter, when the lake occasionally ices over, it's a view that makes the whole idea of staying indoors feel worthwhile. There are two bedrooms. The ma ... click here to read more

With approximately 38 meters of beachfront, you can enjoy the view over the sea.

Early Saturday morning, the Korterødkilen inlet is flat and silver. You step out onto the terrace with a coffee, the Norwegian coastal air still cool from the night, and the only sound is birdsong and the distant creak of a small boat on its mooring. That's the texture of life at Korterødveien 89. Sponvika sits at the very southern tip of Norway, tucked along the western shore of the Iddefjord where the coastline starts to feel almost secret — the kind of place people who grew up here talk about with a certain possessiveness, not quite ready to share it with the wider world. The cabin areas along Korterødveien have been established for generations, and plots here don't change hands often. Getting access to this particular stretch of the Norwegian coast, with its established community, direct sea access, and sun-drenched aspect, is genuinely uncommon. The chalet itself is compact and considered. Sixty-five square metres in the main building, which means no wasted space and no rooms you'll never use. The living and dining area does the heavy lifting — big windows pulling in light and framing the view across Korterødkilen, enough floor space that six people around the dinner table won't feel like a squeeze. The kitchen was fully fitted in 2020 and it shows: clean lines, proper worktop space, storage that actually makes sense. Cooking here isn't a chore. On a summer evening, you'll have the terrace door propped open and the smell of grilled mackerel drifting back through the kitchen window while everyone's still outside. That terrace. Thirty-nine square metres of south-facing decking, large enough for a proper outdoor dining set, sun loungers, and still room for the kids to sprawl. For a chalet of this size, it's a genero ... click here to read more

Step outside on a late June evening at Bybakken 41, and the Oslofjord is doing that thing it does in summer — turning copper and pink at the edges while the water goes almost flat calm. The heated jacuzzi on the sun terrace is already running. Somewhere down the hill, a neighbor is grilling. That's the moment you'll think: yes, this is why we bought it. Sponvika sits at the southern tip of Østfold county, tucked along the western shore of the Iddefjord where Norway and Sweden share a border you can almost wade across. It's not a place that appears in glossy travel magazines. Locals from Halden — a proper Norwegian town of 30,000 people, just 8 kilometers up the road — have been keeping it quietly to themselves for decades. The village has the kind of unhurried pace that's increasingly rare this close to a major transport corridor: the E6 motorway puts you in Oslo in under two hours, and the train station at Halden runs direct services to the capital in roughly 90 minutes. For a second home that doubles as a weekend escape from city life, the geography is almost unreasonably convenient. The house itself sits on a freehold plot of 1,051 square meters on Bybakken — the name translates loosely as "the town's hill" — and the elevation is exactly what earns the sea views. From the open-plan living room on the first floor, the large windows frame the fjord like a painting that changes hourly. Morning light comes in silver and quiet. By afternoon in August it's all glare and sparkle. Even on grey November days there's a drama to it, low cloud sitting on the Swedish hills across the water. Inside, 211 square meters are spread across three levels. The heart of the home is that first-floor living space: an open kitchen fitted wi ... click here to read more

Set amidst nature's finest, with sunny beaches nearby and plenty of adventures waiting just outside your door, you’ll find these cabins are more than just places to stay—they're destinations in themselves.

PrivatMegleren Sarpsborg ved Odd Martin Heltorp har gleden av å presentere Høysandlia 15 og 17!

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Karlsøyveien 145 is the smell — pine resin warming in the sun, salt air drifting up from the water just eighty-one meters away, coffee brewing on a solid wood countertop while light cuts through the trees and lands on the parquet floor. This is coastal Norway at its most honest. Not curated, not performed. Just the sea, the rocks, the forest, and a cabin that has had sixty-five years to figure out exactly what it wants to be. Skjeberg sits in the Østfold region of southeastern Norway, tucked between the cities of Sarpsborg and Fredrikstad, and it is the kind of place that locals quietly love and rarely talk about too loudly. The coastline here is classic Oslofjord — granite outcrops polished smooth by ten thousand winters, shallow bays that warm up faster than you'd expect by July, and a horizon broken only by the occasional sailboat heading south toward Kosterfjord. The property on Karlsøyveien sits right in the middle of all of it, on a 1,660-square-meter natural plot where the garden doesn't try too hard: cultivated lawn near the cabin, then pine trees, then bare rock, then water. The chalet itself was originally built in 1959 — the year Norway first broadcast national television — and there's something in the bones of it that reflects that era's straightforward confidence in timber and craftsmanship. The 2004 extension added breathing room without disturbing the original character, and the result is 71 square meters of thoughtfully arranged interior living space that feels larger than the numbers suggest. Partially open-plan between the living room and kitchen, the layout draws people together naturally. The wood-burning stove sits at the centre of the living room l ... click here to read more
