2-Bed Coastal Chalet 100m from the Sea in Sandstad, Hitra – Vacation Home

The first thing you notice on a July morning at Gluggevannsveien 157 is the quiet. Not the artificial quiet of noise-cancelling headphones, but the real kind — birdsong, the distant lap of water, the occasional creak of pine in the breeze. You step out onto the 48-square-meter terrace with your coffee, the garden stretching out in front of you across a full 1,000 square meters of private land, and you think: this is what a Norwegian summer is supposed to feel like. Lyngdal sits in Vest-Agder county, tucked into the southwestern corner of Norway where the landscape softens compared to the dramatic fjords further north. This is the Sørlandskysten — the so-called Norwegian Riviera — and the region earns that nickname honestly. Summer temperatures regularly hit the high twenties. The light lasts until almost midnight in June and July. The coastline along this stretch of southern Norway is dotted with white-painted fishing villages, sheltered coves, and the kind of beaches that genuinely surprise first-time visitors. Fevik and Mandal are both within easy striking distance, and Mandal's Sjøsanden beach is widely considered the finest sandy beach in the entire country — a long, dune-backed arc of white sand that draws swimmers from across Scandinavia every August. This hytte sits in an established holiday home area just outside the town center, close enough to Gluggevannet lake and the Lygna river to make water-based days the default rather than the exception. Fishing the Lygna is a serious local pursuit — it's one of the more productive salmon rivers in southern Norway, and you don't need to travel far to find a productive stretch. The lake is calmer, perfect for a morning paddle or an afternoon swimming with kids. Bring a c ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the lake is completely still. The mountains on the far shore are mirrored so perfectly in Eimhjellevatnet that you'd be forgiven for thinking the world had doubled overnight. That's what Eimhjellevegen 55 gives you — not a view from a distance, but a front-row seat on the actual shoreline, with your own stretch of water to swim in, fish from, or just sit beside until the day makes more sense. Hyen is a small village tucked into the Sunnfjord region of western Norway, where the fjords push inland and the landscape gets quietly dramatic. This is the kind of place where people come to properly disconnect — no white noise, no traffic, no obligation to be anywhere. The chalet sits on a 1,372 square metre plot that dips directly to the lake's edge, and the property even includes a sliver of ownership extending into the water itself. It's a practical detail that carries real weight: your privacy on the shoreline is genuinely protected. The chalet was built in 1974 and spans 48 square metres of interior living space across a sensible, unfussy floor plan. Two bedrooms. One bathroom. A wood-burning stove in the main living area that earns its place every single autumn weekend when the birch trees turn gold and the evenings get sharp. Large windows frame the lake and the mountains beyond — you're not reaching for the view here, it comes to you. The kitchen is functional and bright, set up for real cooking whether that means a simple dinner of fresh-caught trout or feeding a full group after a day on the trails. The bathroom includes a shower and an incineration toilet, along with the water pump for the property — a sensible setup for a cabin of this type in this part of Norway. ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in late January, and the northern lights are still doing their thing above the Lyngen Alps across the fjord. The coffee is hot. The stove clicked to life twenty minutes ago. Through the big windows of this single-bedroom chalet on Vannøya, the sea sits maybe sixty meters away—grey-green, absolutely still. No traffic. No neighbors visible. Just the low whistle of an Arctic wind and the occasional cry of an eider duck cutting across the inlet at Vannavalen. This is what €111,000 buys you in Northern Norway. The chalet itself sits on Nord-Fugløyveien in the township of Vannøya, a rugged island in Troms county that most international buyers have never heard of—which is precisely the point. Vannøya isn't Lofoten, which has become overrun with Instagram hikers. This island operates on its own rhythm. Fishermen still leave before dawn. The ferry crossing to the mainland at Brensholmen carries locals, not tour groups. That authenticity is increasingly rare, and increasingly valuable. The 41-square-meter cabin was renovated between 2017 and 2018, and the work shows. Light-toned walls, modern surface finishes, smooth-front kitchen cabinetry—the interior punches above its square footage because it's been thought through. The kitchen comes equipped with a refrigerator, stove, and inset sink, with enough table space to sit down to a proper dinner of fresh skrei cod you caught yourself that afternoon. The living room's large windows pull the landscape inside. On a clear February day, the light that bounces off the snow and the water is something you won't find further south. A wood-burning stove anchors the room; by evening, with the fire going and the darkness outside absolute, the space feels genu ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning at Storkjeldkanken 112 and the silence hits you first. Not the uncomfortable kind — the kind that makes your lungs feel bigger. The snow sits undisturbed on the spruce branches, the cross-country tracks cut fresh through the trees maybe thirty meters from the front door, and the whole of Trysilfjellet is waiting. That's what owning a holiday home at 772 meters above sea level in Norway's most celebrated ski destination actually feels like. This three-bedroom chalet sits on a generous freehold plot of 1,416 square meters in Trysil, a mountain village in Innlandet county that most Norwegians consider the country's premier winter sports destination — and for good reason. The property at Storkjeldkanken 112 gives you direct access to the cross-country trail network right from the garden gate, with Trysilfjellet's 70-plus alpine slopes just a short drive away. In summer, those same trails become mountain bike routes. The 18-hole Trysil Golf Club course sits within easy reach, and the surrounding Trysilvassdraget river system offers genuinely good trout fishing from late May through September. Inside the main cabin, the bones are classic Norwegian hytte: exposed timber beams, solid wood walls painted in warm whites and naturals, and a fireplace insert in the open-plan living and kitchen area that makes the whole space glow on a cold evening. The layout is honest and practical. The kitchen runs along one wall with solid wood-front cabinetry, painted wooden countertops, and a window above the sink that frames a strip of mountain forest — you'll find yourself just standing there sometimes, coffee in hand, watching a magpie work through the lower branches. The dining area flows naturally from th ... click here to read more

Stand on the quay at six in the morning, coffee in hand, watching the mist lift off Fanafjorden while a small fishing boat putters past the mouth of the cove. That's the kind of morning Mildevegen 171 deals in. This is a proper Norwegian cabin — three bedrooms, a boathouse with its own concrete quay, a garden that runs to over 2,100 square metres, and the Arboretum at Milde practically at the back fence. Twenty minutes from Bergen's Bryggen wharf by car. A world away in every other sense. The property sits in Hjellestad, a quiet coastal pocket on the southern edge of Bergen municipality where the Fanafjord cuts deep into the land and the shoreline is a patchwork of smooth rocks, small beaches, and private quays. Locals here have always known something that the rest of Bergen is slowly catching on to: this stretch of water, with its sheltered inlets and easy access to the outer archipelago, is one of the best spots in Hordaland for a life lived partly on the sea. The cabin itself covers 102 square metres and is in good, solid condition — the kind of place where previous owners clearly took care of things. Walk through the entrance hall (there's an old wood stove in the corner that gives the space a certain honesty, even if it hasn't been lit in years) and the layout opens up naturally into the living areas. The main living room is generous, with large windows pulling in the garden light and a direct connection to the terrace. On a July afternoon with the doors thrown open and the smell of cut grass drifting in, you'll understand immediately why Norwegians have always built their hytter this way — inside and outside refusing to be separated. The kitchen is functional and well-fitted, with integrated appliances and prope ... click here to read more

The first morning you spend here, you'll wake up to absolute silence. Not the muffled quiet of a city apartment with the windows shut — actual silence, broken only by wind moving through the birch trees outside and maybe, if the season is right, the distant call of a ptarmigan somewhere up the hillside. That's Dalsida. That's what you're buying into. Sitting on a 1,036-square-metre natural plot along Hådilivegen in Lesja, this two-bedroom off-grid chalet is the kind of place that recalibrates you. Built in 2009 and held in good condition, it's compact at 56 square metres — but the design is clever, and more importantly, you don't spend much time inside when you're here. The mountains are too close for that. Step through the front door and the hallway opens directly into a combined living room and kitchen that feels bigger than its footprint suggests. High ceilings do a lot of the heavy lifting, and the large windows pull in light from the surrounding landscape through most of the day. The wood-burning stove anchors the space — this is genuinely the heart of the cabin, the thing you'll be thinking about in October when you're back in your regular life, already planning the next visit. The kitchen runs along one wall with pine cabinetry, profiled fronts, and a solid wood worktop that's functional and honest about what this place is. There's no pretence here. It's a mountain cabin, and it knows it. The two bedrooms sleep four comfortably — one room with two single beds, the other with bunks — making it a natural fit for families with young kids, or a small group of friends who share a love of being outdoors. The toilet room covers the essentials. No running water from the mains, but the solar panel system with battery st ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the valley is completely silent. Not the polite quiet of a countryside weekend—actual silence, broken only by the creak of snow settling on the roof and the distant whistle of wind curling around Resfjellet's ridgeline. The thermometer reads minus twelve and you don't care, because the wood stove in the living room has been going since six, the coffee is ready, and through the south-facing windows the mountain is turning pale gold. That's the daily reality at Svartbekkveien 117. This is a four-bedroom mountain chalet in Jerpstad, deep in Resdalen valley in Trøndelag, priced at 141,000 EUR. It sits on 1,119 square metres of freehold land at an elevation that puts Trollhetta, Resfjellet, and Raufjellet practically on your doorstep. The main cabin measures 99 square metres internally, and the property comes with a separate annex and an outdoor storage shed—meaning you can sleep sixteen people across the whole estate comfortably. For families who gather in numbers, or owners who want rental flexibility, that matters enormously. Built between 2006 and 2009 and kept in genuinely good condition, the chalet doesn't need work before you move in. The layout is sensible and well-thought-out: a proper hallway leads into a toilet room, a sitting room, and then an open-plan kitchen and living area where most of life happens. Four bedrooms branch off from there. The bathroom has a shower. Simple, functional, Norwegian practical—nothing fussy, nothing wasted. The unfinished basement below adds 30 square metres of external storage space that could become a proper ski room, workshop, or utility area over time. What elevates this property beyond the standard mountain cabin is the 52-square-metre ter ... click here to read more

Picture this: a Tuesday morning in July, coffee in hand, bare feet on sun-warmed timber boards, and the only sound for miles is a woodpecker working through a pine somewhere behind the tree line. That's the rhythm of life at Hedrumveien 866 in Kvelde — a two-bedroom chalet perched on an elevated, south-facing plot in the forests of Vestfold, with a private bathing jetty and a rowing boat waiting for you down at Åsrumvannet. This isn't a glossy holiday complex or a converted apartment with a mountain view slapped on the brochure. It's a genuine Norwegian hytte — the kind Norwegians guard jealously and rarely let go of. The chalet sits at the end of a forest road, surrounded on three sides by dense spruce and pine, which means the nearest neighbour is heard only occasionally and seen almost never. The elevated position gives the main living space a wide-open outlook southeast toward Åsrumvannet, and on clear days the lake glitters through the trees like broken glass. In autumn, that same view turns copper and amber. In winter, with snow on the branches and the wood stove crackling, the silence is almost theatrical. Speaking of the stove — a brand-new Contura unit was installed in 2022, and it transforms the open-plan living area into something genuinely warm and lived-in on cool evenings. The high ceiling and oversized windows keep things light even on grey September afternoons, and the layout means you're never really indoors and outdoors at the same time; the two feel continuous. Direct access from the lounge leads out to a partially covered south-facing terrace, which was substantially expanded in 2022 and 2023. There's a built-in bench, plenty of room for a long dining table, and enough sheltered space to sit outsid ... click here to read more

Friday afternoon, the car is packed, and ninety minutes out of Oslo you're turning off the main road into the quiet pines of Buerskogen. By the time the engine goes off, the only sounds are wind through the spruce trees and maybe a woodpecker somewhere in the distance. That's the pace this cabin runs on — and once you've had a weekend of it, the city feels very far away indeed. Buerskogen 92 sits in one of Halden municipality's more unhurried holiday pockets, a sparsely developed woodland area where plots are spread out and neighbours are close enough to wave to but far enough to forget about. The cabin dates to 1976 and has been looked after properly over the decades — not over-renovated, not neglected. It's got the kind of honest solidity that older Norwegian timber construction tends to produce, updated where it matters: public water and sewage connection, a newer wood stove, a heat pump for the shoulder seasons, and a kitchen fitted in 2021 that's functional without pretending to be anything else. At 57 square metres total, the layout is compact and sensible. Entrance hall, storage room, bathroom, three separate bedrooms, and an open living area where the kitchen flows directly into the lounge. Three bedrooms in a 57-square-metre cabin means rooms that are cosy rather than cavernous — exactly right for a place where you're mostly outside anyway. The wood stove anchors the living space; on a wet October evening with the fire going and rain hitting the windows, you'll understand exactly why Norwegians are so attached to their hytter. The 42-square-metre terrace out front is the real extension of the living space through the warmer months. Coffee in the morning with forest stretching out in front of you. Dinner outsi ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a January morning at Håvegen 122 is the silence. Not the hollow silence of an empty room, but that particular Nordic quiet where snow sits heavy on the spruce branches and the only sound is the crackle from the wood stove working its way through a birch log. You pull on your boots, step out onto the 55-square-metre terrace, and the Trøndelag hills stretch out in every direction. The groomed cross-country ski trail is maybe a ten-minute walk. You didn't have to book anything. You didn't have to drive anywhere. This is just Tuesday. Ålen sits in the Holtålen municipality of Trøndelag county, about 80 kilometres south of Trondheim along the E6 and then inland through the Gauldalen valley. It's not a resort town in the manufactured sense — no ski-lift queues, no overpriced après-ski bars. What it has instead is the real thing: a working Norwegian mountain community surrounded by terrain that people travel from across Scandinavia to experience. The Gaula River, running just below the village, is one of Norway's premier salmon rivers. In June and July, fly fishermen from the UK, Denmark and Germany stand in its pools at midnight under a sky that never quite goes dark, chasing Atlantic salmon that can top 10 kilograms. The river's reputation is earned. Licences are limited, which makes proximity to the water genuinely valuable. The chalet on Håvegen was built in 1999 and sits on a freehold plot of 1,000 square metres. It's been kept in good condition throughout — the exterior was re-stained in 2024, so the timber is tight and protected against the freeze-thaw cycles that do the most damage to Norwegian cabins over time. At 73 square metres of internal living space, the layout is honest and practi ... click here to read more

The lake is completely still at six in the morning. You can hear a woodpecker somewhere up the ridge, and the smell of pine resin drifts through the window you left cracked open the night before. This is what you drove here for—or more precisely, what you flew into Skien, then drove the winding E134 west through Telemark for. The chalet at Fjellheimvegen 57 sits above Birtevatn in Øvre Birtedalen, and on mornings like this, you understand immediately why people in Oslo and Bergen buy second homes here and then spend the rest of the year counting down to the next visit. Fyresdal is one of those corners of inland Norway that hasn't been overrun. There's no ski resort marketing machine behind it, no Instagram queue for a famous waterfall. What it has is something rarer: genuine, working Norwegian outdoor culture—the kind where locals actually hike Rjupeto on a Tuesday, where kids grow up knowing how to row across a lake before they can drive. Owning a holiday property here means buying into that culture, not just the scenery. The chalet itself was built in 1973, and you can feel its history—the kind of solidity that Norwegian timber construction acquires over decades of hard winters and hot summers. The floor plan is practical in the way that Scandinavian cabin design tends to be: nothing wasted, nothing superfluous. Step through the entrance hall into the living room and you'll notice the ceiling height immediately. It's generous for a property of this era, and the large windows push light deep into the interior even on overcast autumn days. There's a fireplace with a wood stove in the corner that does more than heat the room—it changes the entire atmosphere. Come November, when the birch trees outside have dropped their ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's February, the lake is frozen solid, and you're standing on a 48-square-metre sun terrace with a coffee in hand, watching your kids drag a sledge down toward Frilsjøen while the birch trees around you carry a full load of fresh snow. The cabin behind you is warm — the fireplace has been going since 7am, and the whole place smells of woodsmoke and pine. This is not a marketing fantasy. This is a Tuesday morning at Gunnarhåggån 9. Set right on the edge of Frilsjøen in Løkken Verk, Trøndelag, this 58-square-metre Norwegian chalet is the kind of property that people in this region quietly pass between families for generations. Three bedrooms, a fully connected electricity supply, year-round running water from a private well literally a step outside the door, and car access straight to the entrance — practical details that sound small until you're hauling ski gear and groceries in January and they suddenly matter enormously. At 61,900, it sits at a price point that makes genuine financial sense as a holiday home or second residence, particularly for international buyers looking to establish a foothold in the Scandinavian outdoor lifestyle market. The chalet is built in a form that Norwegians call the classic hytte style — timber-framed, warm-toned wooden interiors, low ceilings that hold heat, and windows positioned to catch every angle of available light across the day. The living room is centred around a traditional fireplace, and it genuinely earns that central position. It divides the room into a lounge side and a dining side without any partition wall, which keeps the space feeling open and social. Large windows face out toward the surrounding landscape, and in late June, when the sun barely sets this ... click here to read more

Step off the trail, push open the red-painted door, and let the smell of pine wood and woodsmoke do its work. That first moment inside this cabin at Skardstølen 18 — elevation 690 metres, views stretching out over Fresvikåsen toward Jotunheimen on a clear day — has a way of making every problem you carried up the mountain feel very, very small. This is a proper Norwegian mountain cabin. Not a renovated lifestyle project with underfloor heating and a mood board aesthetic. A real one. Wood-burning stove, gas cooker, water fetched from a well 50 metres up the slope, and a sky full of stars because there's no light pollution for miles. If that sounds like your kind of escape, keep reading. Fresvik itself sits along the Sognefjord, the longest and deepest fjord in Norway, in Vik municipality in the heart of Sogn. The surrounding Nærøyfjorden area carries UNESCO World Heritage status — the same recognition as the Grand Canyon and the Great Barrier Reef — and it's not hard to see why. The landscape here is almost violently dramatic: narrow fjord arms, waterfalls dropping hundreds of metres, and mountain ridges that seem to belong to another age entirely. The cabin at Skardstølen 18 sits within easy reach of all of it, yet tucked far enough up that the summer tourist crowds along the fjord floor feel like something happening in a different world. Getting here is part of the experience. A 300-metre trail from the nearest road — roughly a five-minute walk — separates the cabin from the outside. No car noise. No neighbours revving engines at 7am. Just the wind through the birch trees and, in spring, the sound of snowmelt rushing somewhere below you. The cabin covers 52 square metres of indoor living space, extended and improved ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a January morning is the silence. Not the absence of sound exactly, but a particular Norwegian quiet — the kind that sits between snowfall and frozen pines, broken only by the low crack of a log splitting in the fireplace. Step inside Bergsetvegen 54, pour coffee from whatever you brought up from the city, and feel the timber walls do what timber walls have done in these forests for centuries: hold the cold out and the warmth in. This is Søre Osen, a small lakeside community in Trysil municipality, Innlandet county, sitting in one of inland Norway's most quietly compelling valleys. It doesn't get the same Instagram crowds as the fjord towns further west, and that's precisely the point. The people who have cabins here — and they've often had them for generations — aren't looking for a scene. They're looking for Osensjøen. The lake is the beating heart of this corner of Norway. At roughly 53 square kilometers, Osensjøen is large enough to feel genuinely wild, with wooded shorelines that stretch for miles and water cold enough in June to make you gasp and grin simultaneously. In summer, locals launch their boats from the Osen marina and disappear for hours — fishing for pike and perch, paddling into quiet bays by kayak, or simply anchoring somewhere remote for a swim. The lake is only a few kilometers from the chalet. On a clear morning, when the mist sits just above the water surface, you can see it from the upper terrace. The chalet itself covers 63 square meters of thoughtfully arranged living space across a practical, unfussy floor plan. Walk through the entrance hallway and the living room opens in front of you — timber on the walls, timber on the ceiling, and a fireplace that earns its ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the silence hits you first. No traffic, no neighbors' lawnmowers, nothing — just the soft creak of snow-laden spruce trees and the faint hiss of wind coming off the Gauldalen valley. The thermometer reads minus eight, but inside, the wood stove at Drøyvollvegen 125 has been going since seven, and the whole cabin smells like birch smoke and coffee. That's the daily reality of owning this two-bedroom mountain chalet in Haltdalen, a small community in Trøndelag that most Norwegians quietly regard as one of the most liveable and underrated highland retreats in central Norway. At 325 meters above sea level, the property sits high enough to catch serious sun — the original listing wasn't exaggerating about that — and the south-facing 37-square-meter terrace soaks up every hour of it from late spring through early autumn. Built in 2002 and kept in genuinely good condition, the chalet covers 53 square metres of indoor space across an open-plan living room and kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a hallway, and a loft accessed by ladder. Fifty-three square metres sounds compact, and it is — but the layout is honest and efficient in the way that good Scandinavian cabin design tends to be. Nothing is wasted. The living area opens directly onto the terrace through wide glass doors, which effectively doubles your usable space every time the weather cooperates. And in Haltdalen's long, sun-drenched summers, the weather cooperates often. The large windows in the main living space pull in light from mid-morning until well into the evening during peak season. Sit at the kitchen table and you're looking out at open highland terrain, the kind of rolling, tree-fringed landscape that makes you understa ... click here to read more

Step outside at seven in the morning and the air hits you — cool, salt-edged, carrying the faint smell of seaweed and pine from the hillside above Øyaveien. A herring gull cuts a lazy arc over the water. The fjord is mirror-flat. This is what a Tuesday feels like in Melandsjø. Hitra is not one of those Norwegian islands that gets overrun in July. It stays quiet in a way that's increasingly rare. The island sits roughly an hour and a half southwest of Trondheim, connected to the mainland via a pair of subsea tunnels — no ferry schedule to chase, no weather window to pray for. You drive in whenever you feel like it. That accessibility, combined with a landscape that feels genuinely untouched, is what makes a holiday property here such a find. The fishing alone draws people from across Scandinavia and Northern Europe. Sea trout, cod, and coalfish are there year-round if you know where to cast, and from this address you're a short walk to the shoreline and a ten-minute drive to Hopsjøbrygga, the brygge that becomes the social heart of the island every July when Hopsjødagene takes over — live music, local food stalls, boats moored three deep, the whole community spilling outdoors. Øyaveien 16 is a white-painted timber chalet that has been on this plot since 1937. The exterior cladding was replaced in 1996 and it wears its age lightly — there's genuine character here without the cold drafts and crumbling sills that word usually implies. The building is in good condition and properly connected: public water, public sewage, mains electricity. No off-grid compromises. Just bring your bags. The layout is compact and logical at 56 square meters across two floors, arranged for the kind of real use a holiday home actually gets. Do ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a July morning at Lillehuset Tufta is the light. At this latitude on Ibestad island, the midnight sun barely dips below the horizon, and by the time you step out the front door with your coffee, the fjord is already shimmering silver and the pines are throwing long gold shadows across the grass. This isn't the Norway of postcards — it's quieter, rawer, and far more yours. Sitting on Bygdaveien 1126 in the hamlet of Selvågen on Nord-Rollnes, this compact 1940s cabin sits just 100 metres from the water's edge on the Andfjorden coast. A short walk through low coastal scrub and you're standing on a shore that most of the world has never heard of, let alone visited. That's exactly the point. Hamnvik and its surrounding communities in Ibestad municipality draw visitors who have moved past the usual tourist circuit — people who'd rather watch an eagle circle above a headland than queue for a gondola. The cabin itself is what Norwegians call a hytte in spirit even if it functions as a fritidsbolig — a weekend home with real bones. Built in 1940 and substantially renovated in 2010 with a new roof, chimney, and fresh exterior cladding, it has the kind of worn-in character that can't be manufactured. Thick timber walls. A small living room that smells faintly of woodsmoke even in summer. A fireplace that earns its keep the moment October rolls around and the archipelago starts pulling on its autumn colours — ochre birch leaves against dark spruce, the sea going the colour of gunmetal, the air suddenly carrying the salt-sweet edge of the coming winter. The cabin is sold fully furnished, so you arrive and you're already home. The layout is compact and honest. Ground floor: an entrance hall with a sepa ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the first thing you hear is the brook. Not traffic, not neighbors — just the steady murmur of water over smooth stone, birdsong somewhere above the treeline, and the soft creak of the wooden terrace under your feet. That's what daily life at Brandlistuguvegen 41 actually sounds like, and it's the kind of quiet you don't fully appreciate until you've had it. This three-bedroom chalet sits on a generous private estate of around 5,090 square meters in Lesjaskog, a small, unhurried community in Norway's Innlandet region, roughly halfway between Åndalsnes and Dombås. At 641 meters above sea level, the air has that faint sharpness to it even in August. The surrounding landscape — mixed forest giving way to open mountain terrain — puts on a full seasonal performance: the pale green flush of birch leaves in May, the long amber evenings of midsummer, the first proper snowfall that turns the entire valley white sometime in October or November. The chalet itself was built in 1970, with a practical single-storey layout that got a sensible extension in 1997, adding all three bedrooms and a storage room. The result is 64 square meters of usable living space that feels lived-in and honest rather than staged. Pine floors, exposed roof beams, double-glazed wooden windows — it all adds up to something that looks exactly like a Norwegian mountain cabin should. In 2024, a new wood-burning stove and insulated steel chimney were installed in the living room. Light the stove on a cold October afternoon and the whole space warms up fast. The visible beamwork above catches the flickering light in a way that no recessed LED fixture ever could. The living room handles double duty as a dining area, with room fo ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's early July, the Norwegian sun is still above the horizon at nine in the evening, and you're sitting on a fifty-square-meter timber terrace with a cold glass of something local in hand, watching a fishing boat cut a slow white line across the Trondheimsleia strait. The smell of salt air drifts up the slope. Somewhere behind the cabin, a trail winds up into Sundfjellet. Nobody is in a hurry. This is Sundlandet — and it gets under your skin quickly. The chalet at Snillfjordsveien 4530 sits on a generous 1,206-square-meter plot in the coastal reaches of Trøndelag, about a hundred meters back from the water's edge. It's not a new build trying to imitate tradition — it's a cabin that's actually been lived in, cared for, and gradually improved since it first went up in 1980. A thoughtful modernization in 2006, a new bathroom fitted in 2018, a replacement hot water tank in 2023, a new washing machine in 2024: the kind of rolling, sensible upgrades that signal an owner who used the place properly and respected it. The result is a property in good condition, move-in ready, and comfortable in all four seasons. At 80 square meters across three bedrooms, the main cabin is compact without feeling cramped. The living room — around 24 square meters — carries large windows that track the sun east to west throughout the day, pulling Trondheimsleia's shifting light right into the room. Morning, the water is steel-grey and calm. Afternoon, it can turn a deep greenish-blue. Evening, on a clear day, there's a particular gold that comes off the fjord that you simply won't find anywhere else. A wood-burning stove sits at the heart of the room, and in October — when the birch trees have turned amber and the air bites — it ea ... click here to read more

Ok, so let me tell you a bit about this place – I’ll be honest, in my line of work, you get to see a lot, but spots like this come up not very often. I’m always running around, showing places all over the region and sometimes all over Europe, but this one here in Snillfjord – it stands out for its land size and its location. So what we have here at Flesvikveien 288 is a proper Norwegian farmhouse, situated right by the sea. The property covers over 630,000 square meters (yes, you read that right, that's hectares of land!), which is honestly great for anyone who's dreaming about space – whether you want to do a bit of small-scale farming, have some animals, or just need all of that nature and privacy, you get it here. Let me walk you through the property a bit, and I’ll try not to get too distracted, but there’s quite a bit to cover. The main house is not brand new, and you can tell it's seen some years, but it’s solid and totally usable as it is. If you want something super fancy with gleaming surfaces, you’ll probably want to do some updates, which you can really do in your own style. There’s a lot of history in the walls and with a bit of vision, you could definitely bring it up a notch, but nothing feels neglected or falling apart. I’d call it good condition overall, just expect a bit of modernizing here and there. Let’s talk spaces. The main house is over two floors: - Three bedrooms (not enormous, but they’re practical) - One bathroom (it’s basic, but gets the job done) - Two living rooms (good for family or guests) - Usable kitchen – space for the basics, cooker, fridge/freeze etc - Lots of daylight, these windows just soak it up - Wood-burning fireplace in the living area – always a plus in Norway’s winters - C ... click here to read more

Let me just say, it’s a real treat to get to present a property like this, especially to my overseas clients and expats who might not know much about this corner of Norway, but are looking for something really special and authentic. I’m a pretty busy agent but I always try to give that extra local insight, so I want you to imagine yourself arriving by boat at Flesvikveien 286, right here in beautiful Snillfjord. This is one of those cabins—a chalet, really—that doesn’t come around often, and its story and location are definitely worth hearing about. Let’s start with the location, because for many buyers from abroad, the setting is what Norway’s all about. Snillfjord is in Trøndelag, which isn’t the most famous region in Norway, but that means it’s less crowded and still really pure, with a lot of wild landscape everywhere you look. The cabin is on a little peninsula, so you’re completely surrounded by the fjord and forest, just water and sky out the windows. It’s a calm, private place but friendly for families or anyone who loves hiking, boating or fishing. The only way to get here is by boat—a lot of Norwegian cabins are like that—which makes arriving at your place feel like the start of a real adventure, every single time. Now, to be honest, this chalet isn’t huge. It’s about 32 square meters, so you’re not hosting massive parties inside, but that’s not what most people want from a Norwegian cabin anyway. Usually, you’re spending half your time outdoors—there’s a terrace here that’s almost double the size of the inside, about 61 square meters, partly covered so you’re good in any weather. The terrace looks straight onto the fjord and the hills, and honestly, it sort of becomes your outdoor living room. Imagine taking ... click here to read more

Stand at the living room window on a still September morning and the fjord is right there — flat, silver, absolutely silent except for a single eider duck crossing the water's surface. That's what Røssvikbukta feels like at this hour. The old schoolhouse at Snillfjordsveien 4115 has been watching this bay since 1918, and it still holds its ground on the hillside like it was planted there on purpose. Locally, everyone calls it "Skolestua." The name stuck long after the last lesson was taught, and there's something quietly compelling about that — a building with a century of stories baked into its walls, sitting on a leased lot above the Snillfjord in coastal Trøndelag, waiting for someone with vision and a few weekends to spare. This isn't a turnkey weekend cabin. It's a renovation project in the truest sense, and that is exactly the point. The main building measures 51 square metres, which sounds modest until you step inside the living room. Twenty-nine square metres, ceiling height that opens the space up in a way you don't expect, and windows that frame the sea like paintings on all sides. The proportions work. That generous ceiling height isn't just an architectural quirk either — it creates a genuine opportunity to build a sleeping loft, the kind you see in restored hytte conversions across Møre og Romsdal, where a simple mezzanine platform doubles the utility of a small footprint without touching the exterior envelope. A builder familiar with Norwegian timber structures could make this room extraordinary. Off the living room, the kitchen runs to 7 square metres. Functional for a work weekend, but yes, it needs updating — new units, a proper worktop, potentially a small island if you knock back the partition sligh ... click here to read more
