Description
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 darkens before midnight and the temperature sits at a comfortable 18 or 19 degrees — that terrace becomes the whole point. Outdoor chairs, a gas grill, cold Dahls Pils from a cooler, and the soft sounds of the countryside below. The terrace faces outward over the project's green surroundings, not down into someone else's plot.
Each cabin comes with its own garden plot of roughly 250 square metres. This is the kolonihage part — the Norwegian tradition of the colony garden, where city-dwellers get their hands in real soil. Grow tomatoes in the greenhouse, plant strawberries along the south-facing edge, put in a row of dahlias just because you feel like it. A practical storage shed is included for the spades, the hose reel, and the folding table you'll use more than you expect. The shared clubhouse and swimming pool give the development a social backbone — somewhere to meet neighbours on a warm Saturday rather than staying strangers.
The location rewards curiosity. Herjuvatnet lake is a short walk away, and the trail network around Middagshaugen and Jonsvatnet opens up from there into proper Nordic hiking country — rocky outcrops, birch forest, the occasional view over the Trondheimsfjord. In winter, the Ranheim Ski Club maintains groomed cross-country tracks close by, and when the snow falls on the fields around Stall C riding centre next door, this corner of Trøndelag turns genuinely quiet and genuinely beautiful. Two kilometres up the road at Kuset, Jonsvatnet lake gets used hard all year — boats in summer, ice fishing when it freezes, trout runs in between.
For hunting, the terrain around Vikhammer is considered some of the better small-game country in the region. Rype, hare, forest birds. If that's your thing, the cabin pays for itself in proximity alone.
Trondheim itself is 20 kilometres away, roughly 25 minutes on a clear run. Nidaros Cathedral — the northernmost medieval cathedral in the world and still arguably the most impressive Gothic building in Norway — is a reason to go into the city even if you live there. The Bymarka forest reserve on the city's western edge is worth an afternoon. Torget market on a Saturday morning has fish, vegetables, and the kind of strong coffee that justifies the drive. Trondheim Airport Værnes is about 30 kilometres east, with direct routes to Oslo, Bergen, Copenhagen, and London, which matters considerably for international buyers treating this as a European second home.
The cabins are built to Norwegian construction standards, which are not modest. Water and sewage run via private lines; the full infrastructure cost is included in the purchase price. Each unit has a dedicated outdoor parking space with electric vehicle charging provision. Three exterior light points handle outdoor illumination. Handover is expected 4–6 months after contract signing, with sales opening in September 2025 and construction rolling from there.
For international buyers, Norway operates a relatively open property market — EU and non-EU citizens can generally purchase without restrictions, though it's worth engaging a Norwegian solicitor familiar with the bustad purchase process and the associated documentation around the prospectus and the sameige structure common in developments like this. The price of 199,960 EUR positions this firmly in the accessible end of the Norwegian leisure property market, particularly given the proximity to a city of Trondheim's size and the quality of the build specification.
Rental demand for short-stay cabins near Trondheim has grown alongside domestic travel trends in Norway, where more families are choosing active staycations over long-haul flights. A well-managed funkis cabin with a roof terrace and a garden plot, 20 minutes from a city of 200,000, is a genuinely strong proposition in that market.
