2-Bed Coastal Chalet + 2 Annexes in Follese – Sea Views & 2,499m² Plot Near Bergen

This chalet for sale in Telemark sits near Gautefall ski area, with four bedrooms, 92 m² of living space and a 1,103 m² plot in Nissedal. Built in 2010 and kept in good condition, it is a cabin that works the way Norwegian mountain homes should: boots by the door, a wood stove for the evenings, and snow or trail access close by. It is a practical choice if you want a second home in Norway that you can use every season, rather than only in July. ### The Chalet: 92 m² Built in 2010 The main living area is open-plan. Living room, dining space and kitchen share one room, and the large windows pull in plenty of light and look out over the surrounding nature. There is enough floor space for both a sofa group and a proper dining table, so a full house of guests does not mean eating in shifts. The kitchen has profiled fronts painted a deep red, a bit of colour in a room that otherwise leans on the view. There are four bedrooms, which is the real strength here. Two families can share it, or you can keep a room free for friends who always turn up on ski weekends. The single bathroom has a tiled floor with underfloor heating, panelled walls and ceiling, a vanity with upper and lower cabinets, a shower cabin and a toilet. Underfloor heating matters when you come in from a cross-country loop at minus ten. A fireplace or wood stove gives the main room its winter heart. Beyond that you get a technical room and a separate storage room (bod) for skis, bikes and tools. The cabin is connected to public water and sewage and has electricity, so there is no off-grid fuss to manage. ### The Plot and Setting at 534 Metres The 1,103 m² plot has a garden and a balcony/terrace, ideal for morning coffee while the light moves across the trees ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom log cabin for sale in Honningsvåg, Finnmark, comes with a 30 m² detached annex on a freehold 2,000 m² plot. The cabin is built from solid timber, has 95 m² of indoor space plus a loft, and sits at 459 metres above sea level, with cross-country ski tracks just 150 metres away. It is in good condition, and the current rental arrangement can be continued by the new owner if they wish. For anyone looking for a holiday home in Finnmark, the appeal here is simple: a proper timber cabin, a second building for guests or income, and snow-season trails practically on the doorstep. ### The Log Cabin: 95 m² of Solid Timber The main building is a traditional log cabin with wooden interiors throughout. The living room has large windows facing the surrounding mountains and forest, so the light stays with you for most of the day. There is a fireplace for the evenings and a door straight onto the terrace, which is where you will end up for coffee as soon as the weather allows. The kitchen is open to the dining area, which suits long meals with a full table. There are three bedrooms and one bathroom. Above them is a loft (hems) that works as extra sleeping space when friends or grandchildren arrive, or as a play room for children. The data lists the property as being in good condition, so this is a cabin to use now, not a renovation project. ### The 30 m² Annex and Rental Potential The detached annex measures about 30 m² and is positioned to give guests privacy while staying close to the main cabin. Owners can use it as guest accommodation, a home office or a separate rental unit. That flexibility is what sets this log cabin apart from a standard mountain cabin with one building. The seller states that the existing r ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Myrkdalen, Vestland, stands about 300 metres from the Storhaug Express ski lift, so the slopes are practically your front garden. It is a 1966 mountain cabin with two bedrooms, a wood-burning stove and new windows, on a 691 m² plot at roughly 468 metres above sea level. At 58 m² it is compact on purpose: easy to heat, quick to open up on a Friday night and simple to close again on Sunday. If you are looking for a holiday home in Vestland that works in ski season and in summer, this cabin is built around exactly that rhythm. ### The Chalet: 58 m² of Traditional Cabin Living The lounge and kitchen share one open room, and the wood-burning stove is its centre. After a day on the hill, that is where everyone ends up. Large windows face the surrounding mountains and forest, and the recently replaced windows help keep the warmth in. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom. The entrance area is roomy enough for coats, boots and wet gear, which in a ski cabin matters more than an extra armchair. Storage is built into the layout rather than added as an afterthought. Outside you get a separate outbuilding (uthus) for skis, bikes and tools, plus a parking space or garage. The garden is low-maintenance and blends into the natural terrain, so there is no lawn to keep up between visits. The condition is good, and the 1966 cabin character has been kept rather than renovated away. ### Skiing and Hiking Around Myrkdalen Myrkdalen is a well-known ski area in western Norway, and the Storhaug Express lift is about 300 metres from the door. The seller describes the cabin as ski-in from the lift, so ask to walk the winter route when you view. Alpine skiing is the obvious draw, and the surrounding terrain also su ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Bjorli is a new three-bedroom mountain cabin a short walk from the train station, with ski trails and the lift nearby. It is still being built in the Bøvermoen cabin area, on the lower side of Romsdalsvegen (E136), and handover is planned for July 2026. That timing matters. You are not buying a finished cabin with someone else's furniture and wear. You are buying a clean slate in Innlandet, with winters on skis and summers by the river already within reach. ### The Chalet and Its 646 m² Plot The cabin has about 81 m² of internal living space (80.5 m² BRA-i) on a single plan. You come in through an entrance hall, where boots and wet jackets can stay out of the living room. The kitchen and living room share one open space, so whoever is cooking is still part of the conversation. There are three bedrooms, one bathroom and a separate laundry room, which helps when you are drying ski clothes for a long weekend. A balcony or terrace faces the surrounding mountains and works for breakfast or an evening meal outdoors. A fireplace or wood stove gives the living area a real heart on cold nights. There is also a 6.3 m² sports storage room for skis, bikes and poles, so gear does not end up in the bedrooms. The plot is around 646 m². The builder will lay a gravel driveway with a dedicated parking space, and the rest of the land stays as natural mountain ground. That means little to mow or maintain between visits, which suits a holiday home in Bjorli that may sit empty for a few weeks at a time. ### Skiing, Swimming and Hiking Around Bjorli In winter, groomed cross-country trails and the Bjorli ski lift are a short distance away, so you can plan a ski day without a long drive first. The cabin sits at rou ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Hemsedal sits at about 955 metres with three bedrooms, a 2018/19 upgrade and 3,045 m² of open mountain plot. It is a ready-to-use mountain cabin, not a project, and the hiking and ski routes start close to the door. Built in 1978 and substantially modernised and extended in 2018/19, the cabin has 88 m² of internal living area. It suits a family that wants a base for mountain weekends, or two couples sharing a holiday home in Buskerud. The condition is good, so you can spend your first week walking rather than calling tradespeople. ### The Chalet: Upgraded in 2018/19 You come in through an entrance hall and a roomy hallway, which is where boots, jackets and wet gear will end up. The living room is the centre of the house. It has space for a large sofa group and a fireplace, and wood and exposed ceiling beams give the room a warm, traditional feel. The dining area opens onto the living room, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The kitchen was upgraded in 2018. It has profiled lacquered fronts, generous worktops, integrated appliances and tiling between the counter and the wall cabinets. It sits right next to the dining area, which makes serving a full table of hungry hikers straightforward. There are three bedrooms. The main bedroom has a double bed and storage, and the other two can be arranged as the group needs, whether that means children, guests or a mix. The single bathroom has a vanity with good storage, a shower corner with folding glass doors and room for a washing machine, which is not included. A technical room completes the layout. ### Terrace, Outbuilding and 3,045 m² of Plot A 29 m² terrace faces the surrounding mountains and is where the morning coffee will go ... click here to read more

This three-bedroom chalet for sale in Rogaland sits on a 601 m² freehold plot in Sokndal, with a 36 m² terrace and a view toward Åsvolltjødna lake. Built in 2006 and in good condition, it has 69 m² of living space, one bathroom and a wood-burning stove under a vaulted ceiling. It stands at roughly 380 metres above sea level in the Åsvoll area, a quiet corner of southern Norway with lakes and forest on the doorstep. If you want a cabin in Norway that you can use on any weekend of the year, this one is ready to move into. ### Inside the Chalet: 69 m² Under a Vaulted Ceiling The living room is the heart of the house. The ceiling rises high, the windows are large, and on a bright day the whole room fills with daylight and a wide view of the surroundings. The wood-burning stove sits in this room, so winter evenings can be spent beside a real fire. The living room opens straight into the kitchen. There are smooth-fronted cabinets, a solid wood countertop and a modern extractor above the stove. With one open space for cooking, eating and talking, a full table of guests never leaves the cook in a separate room. There are three bedrooms, enough for a family or two couples sharing a week by the lake. The bathroom is tiled on floor and walls, with a vanity unit and a glass-enclosed shower corner. A separate toilet means the morning queue is shorter than you might fear. A heat pump handles day-to-day heating alongside the stove. ### Terrace, Garden and Lake Views From the living room you step directly onto a terrace of about 36 m². That is room for a proper outdoor table, a couple of loungers and a grill. The terrace is surrounded by greenery, which keeps it private. The plot measures about 601 m² and is laid out as a lawn, ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom chalet for sale in Voss stands at Bulko, close to Granvin in Vestland, with a 60 m² terrace and an annex built in 2024. It is a Norwegian mountain cabin that has been looked after and added to for decades. The original part dates from 1975. Since then the owners have fitted a new kitchen, built a large terrace and put up a separate annex. The plot is 1,200 m² of owned land, and the cabin is ready to use, so you can arrive with a bag of groceries and settle in. ### The Cabin: 81 m² and Four Bedrooms You enter through a hallway that leads to three of the four bedrooms and the bathroom. That layout suits families, because the children's rooms sit together and the adults are not far away. The fourth bedroom, the largest, opens straight off the TV lounge and looks out over the surrounding landscape. The living room is open-plan and has a fireplace. Big windows face the mountains, so you can have a coffee with a view and then light the fire in the evening. The kitchen was installed in 2024, which means you won't be dealing with an outdated one. There is room to set up separate areas for dining and sitting without crowding the space. The bathroom was renovated in 2006 and has slate floor tiles, a shower niche and a modern washbasin. It has a composting toilet, a common choice for Norwegian mountain cabins. Water and electricity are connected. With a single bathroom and 81 m² of living space, this is a cabin for a family or two couples, not a big group. ### Terrace, Annex and Garden The terrace is about 60 m², so it works as an extra living room in summer. Breakfast, a barbecue and a long evening outside all fit comfortably, and it is built to be used through much of the year. The annex from 2024 is the ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Valdres stands at 960 metres near Leira, with 1.8 hectares of private land and wide mountain views. It is a 103 m² log cabin from 1950 with two bedrooms, a later extension and two annexes. Groomed cross-country ski trails begin 800 metres away, and a year-round road runs right to the cabin. ### The Cabin: Log Walls from 1950, Extension from 2013 The original building is traditional Norwegian lafted timber, and you notice it as soon as you step in. The living room has solid wood floors, a high ceiling, wood-panelled walls and exposed beams. Big windows face the mountains, so the view is there even when you are sitting on the sofa. A wood-burning stove handles the cold evenings. The kitchen is in the 1950s part of the house. It was refitted with solid wood cabinets painted blue and has a gas stove, a gas fridge and an inset sink. Next to it is a dining room with space for a large table and a built-in fireplace with an insert. In 2013 the cabin was extended, and the bathroom sits in this newer section, with tiled floors, wood panelling and a shower cabin with a proper drain. There are two bedrooms with two single beds each, so four sleeping places in the main building. The cabin is in good condition and is sold partially furnished. You could realistically arrive with bags and groceries rather than a removal van. ### Two Terraces, Morning Sun and Evening Sun The living room opens onto an east-facing terrace, which suits the first coffee of the day. The dining room leads to a west-facing terrace for the late sun. Together the two terraces add up to 30 m², enough for a dining table and a few chairs. Most mountain cabins have one orientation to live with, and this one gives you both. ### Power, Wa ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Venabygd stands at about 947 metres on Venabygdsfjellet, with groomed ski trails and hiking paths right on hand. It is a single-level mountain cabin of 121 m² with three bedrooms, two living rooms and a 46 m² southwest-facing terrace. The freehold plot of 1,397 m² gives you room to park, garden and spread out. It is in good condition, with a fireplace, a wood-burning stove and a heat pump already installed. ### The Chalet: One Level, Two Living Rooms Everything sits on one floor, which makes this an easy cabin to live in. That suits small children, older relatives and anyone arriving with skis and heavy bags. You step into an entrance hall that leads to two separate living rooms. Both have exposed timber walls and solid wood floors, and the large windows face the mountain landscape. The kitchen opens onto the living area, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. It was updated in 2010 with new cabinet fronts and a tiled backsplash, and it has integrated appliances. A wood-burning stove stands in the kitchen too, which is a welcome thing on a January morning. The sleeping wing is reached along a panelled hallway with a wooden floor. All three bedrooms have solid wood floors and panelled surfaces, and each is large enough for a double bed. One is laid out to hold a double bed and a bunk bed together, so a family of five or six can sleep here without anyone on the sofa. The single bathroom has a curved shower wall, a vanity with storage underneath and a vinyl floor that is easy to keep clean. The 200-litre water heater dates from 2010. ### Heating, Upgrades and Condition At this altitude, heating decides how comfortable the cabin is. This one has three sources: a traditional open f ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Rauland, Telemark, sits at 926 metres with panoramic views over Møsvatn lake and the mountains. Built in 2013 and in good condition, it has three bedrooms, 81 m² of living space, a fireplace and a large terrace that catches the sun through the day. It suits people who want water and mountains outside the window more than a road outside the door. ### The Chalet and Its 1,018 m² Plot The living room has high ceilings and big windows aimed straight at the lake. Open-plan kitchen and living space share the fireplace, so on a cold evening the whole room is one warm area. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. The main bedroom is just off the kitchen, with two more bedrooms beyond it, and a loft (hems) gives extra sleeping space for children or guests. The loft is not counted in the measured area because of the ceiling height. Both the bathroom and the entrance hall are tiled with underfloor heating. After a day on the fells, that is where you will be glad of it: wet boots and cold feet are dealt with before you reach the sofa. The measured living area is 81 m² (BRA-i), with 99 m² of usable area in total. Outside, the large terrace opens from the living area and is the obvious place for breakfast and dinner in summer. The 1,018 m² plot is owned, and there is a garden, a boat dock and an annex/storage building for gear, firewood or future plans. ### Getting to the Cabin: Snowmobile in Winter, Boat in Summer Access shapes how you use this cabin, so it deserves a clear explanation. In winter you reach it by snowmobile, and a scooter permit has already been granted. In summer and autumn you cross Møsvatn by boat from the Møsstrond side. The seller has indicated that a boat and a snowmobile can be bo ... click here to read more

This three-bedroom chalet for sale in Eggedal sits at 960 metres above sea level, with sun from morning to evening and open views over Kvelvsavatnet. It stands at Sandvasseter on the highland plateau between Tempelseter and Haglebu, on a freehold plot of 1,155 m². Built in 1969 and extended in 1996, the 74 m² cabin is in good condition and ready to use as a mountain base. ### The Chalet and Its Freehold Plot The plot is surrounded by natural vegetation and mountain forest, so the cabin feels private without being cut off. Because the land is freehold, you own the ground under the building. Many Norwegian mountain cabins stand on leased land, so this is worth noting. As always, have a local lawyer confirm the title during the purchase. A large wooden terrace runs from the entrance and has room for a full set of outdoor furniture. Morning coffee here means sunlight on the plateau and the lake in front of you. Later in the day the sun is still on the terrace. A fire pit has been set up in the terrain next to the cabin for cool evenings. There is also a freestanding outhouse on the property. ### Inside: Fireplace, Three Bedrooms and a Loft The entrance hall has paneled walls, wooden floors and plenty of space for boots and outerwear. Beyond it, the kitchen and living room share one open-plan space. Large windows face the mountains and the lake, and there is room for a dining table by the window. Heating is traditional. The living room has a brick open fireplace and a separate wood-burning stove, and the kitchen has its own fireplace oven. The kitchen has profiled cabinetry and a wooden countertop. A staircase from the kitchen leads to a loft with extra sleeping places and windows in the gable wall. The loft is not appr ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom chalet for sale in Geilo sits at 852 metres with open valley views, a 36 m² terrace and car access right to the door. Built in 1975 and kept in good condition, it has 116 m² of living space, two bathrooms and a 941 m² freehold plot of natural terrain. At this altitude you get reliable snow in winter and cooler air in summer. The listing states that you can drive up in any season, which matters a great deal for a mountain home. ### The Chalet: Layout and Light The living room is the heart of the house. Large windows face the valley, the ceilings are high, and a wood-burning stove takes the edge off cold evenings. Next to it, the open-plan kitchen and dining area has a fireplace of its own, so family dinners after a day on skis happen in a warm room. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a storage room, a hallway and an entrance area where wet boots and jackets can stay. Up in the loft (hems) there are extra sleeping spaces. It is not officially approved as a bedroom, so think of it as overflow space for children or visiting friends rather than a fourth bedroom. A garage or parking space, electricity and water are all in place. ### Terrace, Plot and Setting The 36 m² terrace is where mornings start: coffee, the valley below, and nobody else in sight. The plot is 941 m² of freehold land with a garden and natural ground around it. You can lay out a lawn and a play area, or leave the slope as it is. The position is secluded, yet the road reaches the front door. ### Skiing and Hiking Around Geilo In winter you can be on skis within minutes. Groomed cross-country trails start only about 0.6 km away and join the network that runs across the whole Hol municipality. For downhill skiing and snowboa ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Telemark sits at 662 metres in Høydalsmo, with a 43 m² terrace facing the water and prepared ski trails 300 metres away. It is a 75 m² timber cabin with three bedrooms, a stone-clad wood-burning stove and a small annex, on a freehold plot of about 899 m² near Øyfjell. The road runs right up to the door, so you can reach it in winter as easily as in summer. Picture a cold February morning: skis waxed by the door, the stove already going, coffee on the table by a big window with a view over the lake and the forest beyond. That is the everyday rhythm this cabin is built for. It is a classic Norwegian hytte, and it has been looked after. ### Inside the Cabin: Three Bedrooms, Stove and Loft Everything inside is wood. The walls and ceilings are panelled, the floor in the living room is continuous pine, and the ceilings are high enough to make the open-plan living and kitchen area feel bigger than 75 m² on paper. The living room takes a sofa group and a dining table without crowding. A natural-stone stove stands in the middle of the room and doubles as a divider between living and kitchen. The seller says it heats the whole living area efficiently. The kitchen dates from 2004 and has been updated piece by piece: an induction cooktop from 2016 and a refrigerator from 2022. The bathroom was renovated in 2017 with underfloor heating, a shower cabin, a vanity unit and a connection for a washing machine. There are three bedrooms. One sits in the 2012 extension and opens straight onto a terrace with steps down to the garden. Another has a bunk bed, and the third has space for a double bed and storage. Up an internal staircase from the living room there is a 10 m² loft. Its ceiling height and escape condit ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Veggli sits about 30 metres from a groomed ski trail on Vegglifjell, with three bedrooms, two loft rooms and a sauna. Built in 2020 and in good condition, it is a second home you can start using straight away rather than one you have to fix up first. Step out the door in February, clip into your skis and you are on prepared cross-country tracks within a minute or two. The Vegglifjell ski center is about a five-minute drive, and the cabin stands at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac around 830 metres above sea level, in the Buskerud mountains of Norway. ### Inside the Chalet: Three Bedrooms, Two Loft Rooms, Sleeping for 10 The cabin has 97 m² of internal living area (101 m² built in total). The three bedrooms are on the main floor, each with a double bed and built-in storage. Upstairs, under the sloped roof, you get two more rooms and a loft lounge. In all there are ten sleeping places, so a big family or two couples with children will not be fighting over beds. The living room and kitchen share one open space with high, sloping ceilings and large windows. A wood-burning stove with a steel chimney is the heart of the room on cold evenings. The kitchen has IKEA cabinets with dark, profiled fronts, a laminate worktop and integrated cooktop, oven, fridge and dishwasher. There is space for a large dining table, which you will want after a day on the trails. Both bathrooms are tiled and have underfloor heating. One opens onto a custom-built sauna with wood panelling, benches and an electric heater. Heat after skiing, then a hot shower, without leaving the house. ### Terraces and a 1,310 m² Freehold Plot A wooden terrace of about 44 m² wraps around the cabin, with several seating spots, benches and a f ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Valdres sits at 960 metres with Jotunheimen views, a wood-fired hot tub and cross-country ski trails about 100 metres away. Built in 1975 and in good condition, it has three bedrooms, 65 m² of living space and a 4,455 m² plot. It is a ready-to-use cabin in Innlandet rather than a project, and it works as a holiday home in Valdres from the first weekend. ### Inside the Cabin: 65 m² Made for Mountain Weekends The cabin dates from 1975 and has been upgraded over the years. The living and dining area is open-plan, with high ceilings in the living room and large windows that face the mountains and the forest. A wood-burning stove gives the room its centre on cold evenings. A heat pump takes care of everyday heating, which helps when you arrive to a cold house in February. The kitchen has been updated with classic cabinetry and generous worktops, and its window lets in daylight and looks over the plot. Next to it is a dining area big enough for family meals. There are three bedrooms in warm, natural tones and one bathroom with shower and toilet indoors. That is not something every mountain cabin can offer. Outside the main building you will find a technical room with its own external entrance, a storage shed, and a traditional outdoor toilet in the outbuilding. Electricity and a water system are installed, and there are charging facilities for an electric car. ### Terrace, Fire Pit and Wood-Fired Hot Tub The 29 m² terrace connects directly to the living room. This is where morning coffee comes with the Jotunheimen skyline in front of you. A fire pit area on the plot is made for long evenings outside. The wood-fired hot tub is the obvious reward after a day on skis or on the trail. The plot covers ... click here to read more

This chalet for sale in Snillfjord sits 100 metres from the sea in Trøndelag, with a sea-view living room and a 90 m² terrace. Built in 2006, the cabin has 64 m² of living space, two bedrooms and one bathroom. It stands on a 1,557 m² plot inside the Terningan cabin area, with an annex, an outbuilding and a woodshed. It is a compact, low-fuss holiday home in Trøndelag, built for time outdoors rather than time indoors. ### The Cabin and Its 1,557 m² Plot The large windows in the living room face the water. Morning coffee here comes with the sea in front of you, and the light reaches deep into the room. The IKEA kitchen is modern and has plenty of cupboard space, and a separate storage room next to it takes boots, fishing gear and everything else that tends to pile up at a cabin. The two bedrooms are small, at roughly 6 m² and 4.8 m². They suit a couple, or a family with children. The 9 m² annex gives you extra room for guests, a hobby corner or storage. The bathroom has a washbasin, a toilet and a shower cabin, and it is simple and practical. Outside is where the property gains its space. A 90 m² terrace faces the sun, which means long evenings on the deck when the weather allows. The garden is well kept, and the plot is big enough for a fire pit, a vegetable bed or a game of football. The woodshed and outbuilding are already there, so you won't need to build storage for firewood, tools or a kayak. ### Outdoor Life Around Snillfjord The sea is about 100 metres away, so a swim, a paddle or an evening of fishing needs no planning. The development has a small boat harbour, which is useful if you want to get out on the fjord. Trails nearby run through the forest and along the coast, and the area has both freshwater and ... click here to read more

This furnished chalet for sale in Rogaland sits just outside Helleland, with a south-facing deck and a bathing spot a five-minute walk away. It was built in 2014 at Rødland and is sold furnished, as shown at the viewing, so you can take over straight away. The chalet has 85 m² of living space on two floors, two bedrooms downstairs and sleeping places for eight. Norwegians would call it a hytte. For a buyer from abroad, it works as a low-fuss holiday home in Rogaland, close to lakes, hiking terrain and fishing water. ### The Chalet: Layout and Finish You come in through a roomy hallway that leads to the two ground-floor bedrooms. One has a sliding-door wardrobe, which helps when guests stay for more than a weekend. The bathroom is modern, with a tiled floor, underfloor heating and connections for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The living room is the main space. It is large enough for a sofa area and a proper dining table, and the big south-facing windows bring in light for most of the day. A wood-burning stove stands between the living room and the kitchen and is visible from both. On a cold evening it heats the whole room, and it also works as a divider between the two areas. The kitchen has an island, an integrated fridge/freezer, an oven, a microwave and a dishwasher. Cooking for a full house will not be a struggle. Upstairs there are two furnished rooms, one set up as a loft lounge with extra beds and the other as a bedroom. This floor is not approved for permanent habitation, so think of it as space for children, teenagers or visiting friends rather than as year-round living area. ### Deck, Garden and the 608 m² Plot From the living room you step straight onto a large deck that catches the sun and ... click here to read more

This two-bedroom chalet for sale in Fredrikstad sits on a 1,200 m² natural plot at Stensvikfjellet, five to six minutes from the beach. It is a 62 m² holiday home with a separate annex, two terraces and a registered right to a boat berth at Stensvik. The forest starts at the edge of the plot, the water is a short walk away, and Oslo is just over an hour by car. That makes Friday-evening arrivals realistic, which is what a second home in Norway needs to be. ### The Chalet and Its 1,200 m² Plot The chalet is compact: two bedrooms, one bathroom and 62 m² of living area. That is a size that is easy to heat, easy to keep tidy and easy to lock up on a Sunday evening. The living room is arranged around a wood-burning stove, with large windows facing the trees. The kitchen is practical and equipped for everyday cooking. A separate annex gives you flexibility. Use it for extra guests, as a hobby room or simply as storage. Outside there are two terraces, so you can choose between a quiet morning coffee and a summer barbecue with friends. The garden is maintained and runs gradually into the natural landscape. There is open ground for children to play and quieter corners further back. The plot is about 1,200 m² and privately owned. A storage shed holds bikes and outdoor gear, and there is parking on the property. A private road gives year-round access. Water and sewer are installed, and the cabin is connected to electricity. The condition is listed as good. ### Beach, Boat Berth and Forest at Stensvikfjellet Stensvik beach is about five to six minutes from the door.

While it has been well cared for, some enhancements could bring it to modern standards, giving you the perfect playground for personalization.

Stand on that west-facing balcony on a clear evening and you'll understand immediately. The fjord catches the last of the light somewhere beyond the treeline, the air smells faintly of pine and salt, and Bergen's city hum is far enough away to be completely irrelevant. This is Godvik. Fifteen minutes from one of Scandinavia's most visited cities, and it feels like a different world entirely. Janahaugen 3 is a two-bedroom chalet sitting on a 2,700 square metre freehold plot in the Drotningsvik area of Godvik — and that plot is the headline. Zoned for detached small house development, this is the kind of land holding that simply doesn't come up often this close to Bergen. You can settle in and enjoy what's already here, or you can think bigger. Both are entirely valid. The infrastructure groundwork is already done: a newly established road into the property, plus water and sewage connections already in place. That's not a small thing. It strips away months of preliminary work and significant cost if you ever decide to build. The cabin itself dates to 1955, but don't let that mislead you. The important things have been updated. A full kitchen renovation in 2022 brought in modern integrated appliances — oven, cooktop, dishwasher, a ventilator tucked into the upper cabinetry — all laid out in an open-plan arrangement with the living room. The space is brighter than you'd expect for a building of this age, partly because of generous window placement that pulls in light from the west and gives you those sea glimpses even from inside. On grey Norwegian mornings, which you will get plenty of, that light matters. The fireplace in the living room is not decorative. Come October, when the temperature drops and the birch trees out ... click here to read more

Step out onto the terrace at Holmavegen 30 on a clear July morning. The fjord is flat and silver, the archipelago spreads out in front of you like a handful of green islands dropped into the water, and the only sound is the rope on the dock tapping against the boathouse wall. Coffee in hand, you realize the boat is right there, ten steps down the rock, and Bergen is forty minutes away by car. This is what Norwegian coastal life actually feels like. Hauglandshella sits on Askøy island, connected to Bergen by the Askøy Bridge — one of the longest suspension bridges in Norway — which makes the commute into the city effortless while the setting feels completely remote. This stretch of the island's eastern shoreline is quiet, unpretentious, and genuinely beautiful in a way that photographs never quite capture. The light in late spring, when the sun barely sets and the rocks stay warm until midnight, is something else entirely. The chalet itself was built in 1981 and sits on a generous 4,792 square meter plot that rolls down to its own private shoreline. Ninety square meters of interior living space sounds modest until you're standing under the 3.5-meter ceiling in the living room, looking through the large windows at an unobstructed stretch of open water. That ceiling height changes everything. The stone fireplace anchors the room — and come October, when the Norwegian autumn arrives in earnest, you'll be glad it's there. The open kitchen sits alongside the dining and living areas, and whoever's cooking has a direct sightline to the sea. That's a design decision you only appreciate once you've done the dishes while watching a boat drift past in the dusk. Two bedrooms on the main floor handle the basics comfortably, each wi ... click here to read more
