Description
Wake up on a Saturday morning in October and the valley below Eggedal is filling with low cloud, the kind that sits in the hollows between ridges and turns everything golden at the edges. You pull on a sweater, start the wood stove, and stand at the living room window with your coffee while the mountains do their thing. No traffic. No notifications. Just the occasional thud of snow sliding off a pine branch somewhere up the slope. This is what owning a cabin at Tempelseterveien 211 actually feels like.
Perched on the hillside above Eggedal village, this two-bedroom Norwegian mountain chalet sits on a fully owned 570-square-metre plot with views straight across the valley to the ridgelines beyond. Built in 1970 in the sturdy, no-nonsense tradition of classic Norwegian hytter, it has been kept in good condition and carries all the honest character you want from a mountain retreat — wood-panelled walls, a fireplace with an insert, a separate wood-burning stove, and windows sized generously enough to make the landscape feel like part of the room. At 42 square metres total, the footprint is tight but considered. Everything has a purpose. Nothing is wasted.
The two bedrooms sleep a family or a group of friends comfortably. The main living area is where you'll spend most of your time regardless — playing cards at the table after a long hike, or simply doing nothing productive in the best possible way. A five-square-metre balcony extends off the main space, south-facing enough to catch afternoon sun in summer, and positioned so you get the full sweep of the valley without anything man-made interrupting the sightline. Electricity runs throughout the cabin, and summer water comes from a shared well just outside — a perfectly practical Norwegian setup that keeps things simple and maintenance light. The bathroom is fitted with a composting toilet accessible from the entrance. There is no indoor shower, which is entirely normal for a cabin of this era and price point, and for most buyers at this level it is simply part of the deal.
A private parking area sits directly at the property, accessible by a maintained road year-round. No hiking in with your groceries. No seasonal access headaches. You can pull up, unload, and be inside with the stove lit inside of twenty minutes from the E134.
Eggedal itself is a small valley community in Numedal, Viken county, about two hours by car from Oslo via the E134 and Route 40. It has a quiet, unhurried rhythm — a local shop, a fuel station, a few places to eat — but it is the surrounding landscape that draws people back year after year. The Norefjell massif rises to the west. Tempelseter, a popular starting point for long-distance mountain walks and a well-known destination in its own right, is about a twelve-minute drive up the valley road. In July and August, the trails around here are carpeted in cloudberries and crowberries, and the light at eight in the evening is something you have to experience to believe — long, horizontal, amber, the kind that makes you stay outside an hour longer than planned.
Winter is arguably the stronger season for this location. Norefjell Ski Center, with its 23 slopes and reliable snow record, is roughly 20 minutes away by car, making this chalet a genuinely practical ski base rather than a romantic-sounding one. Cross-country tracks maintained by the local sports club run directly through the Eggedal area, and the cabin's elevation means decent snowfall most years from December through March. On a clear February day, the view from the balcony across a snow-covered valley to the lit slopes of Norefjell is the kind of thing that makes the two-hour drive from Oslo feel like the best decision you've made all week.
For international buyers considering a second home in Norway, Eggedal represents one of the more accessible entry points into the Norwegian cabin market. The asking price of NOK 57,500 — roughly €5,000 at current exchange rates — is transparent and realistic for a property of this type, age, and specification. Norway has no restrictions on EU or EEA citizens purchasing property, and the process for non-residents is generally straightforward with a local solicitor. The lot is freehold, not leasehold, which matters considerably for long-term value and flexibility.
Cabins at this price point in accessible Norwegian mountain areas tend to move quickly when listed openly. The Norwegian hytte culture is deeply embedded — roughly one in five Norwegians owns a cabin — and domestic demand for entry-level mountain properties in areas with good ski and hiking access is consistent and strong. As a holiday rental, a cabin like this in Norefjell country can generate meaningful short-term income through platforms popular with Norwegian families seeking weekend escapes, covering costs between your own visits.

A cabin like this doesn't ask much of you. It just asks that you show up — in July when the meadows above the treeline are full of reindeer lichen and the air smells like cold water, or in January when the ski tracks are freshly groomed and the stove is doing its job and the valley below is completely, gloriously quiet. If that version of a European second home appeals to you, this property in Eggedal is worth a serious look.
