Description
Step outside on a January morning at Plassæterveien 111 and the silence hits you first. Not city-quiet—actually quiet. The kind where you can hear the snow settling on the spruce trees beyond the terrace, and a woodpecker working somewhere deeper in the forest. Then you light the wood-burning stove, the smell of birchwood smoke fills the cabin, and the whole rhythm of your day rearranges itself around something slower, better.
This is Kvikne. And once you've spent a weekend here, it's very hard to go back to treating it as just a dot on the map of Innlandet.
The chalet at Plassæterveien 111 was originally built in 1978, but don't let that date fool you into expecting tired and dated. The 2018 extension changed things significantly—a proper tiled bathroom with underfloor heating came in, a new wood-burning stove was fitted alongside the existing open fireplace, and the whole property got a new lease of life. The east-facing cladding was replaced in 2022. Large new windows in the dining area, also fitted in 2022, mean the morning light comes pouring in across the table while you're nursing your first coffee and watching the hills shift colour as the sun climbs. In good condition and genuinely move-in ready, this is a cabin that's been cared for, not just inherited and ignored.
The layout across 67 square metres of internal space works harder than you'd expect. Two bedrooms in the main cabin, plus an alcove that handles overflow when friends or older kids come along. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area has that easy sociability that makes cabin holidays actually feel like holidays—everyone ends up in the same room, someone's cooking, someone's playing cards, nobody's staring at a screen. The kitchen cabinetry has profiled solid-wood fronts and there's room for freestanding appliances; it's practical rather than precious, which suits the lifestyle here perfectly. Treated timber paneling runs along the walls and ceilings throughout, and the sloped ceilings in the bedrooms give the space that tucked-in feeling that makes sleep come easily after a day on the trails.
Then there's the annex. A separate outbuilding with a generous room that doubles as a bedroom or a sitting room depending on who's visiting, a storage room, and an outdoor toilet. The annex terrace was expanded in 2020 and now offers a proper sheltered spot for late-evening gatherings when the main terrace catches too much wind. The main terrace itself is 23 square metres—big enough for a table, chairs, and a long lunch that stretches into the afternoon.
The plot is 1,438 square metres in total. That's a serious amount of outdoor space: enough to feel like you own a piece of the Norwegian countryside rather than just borrowing it for two weeks a year. There's no mains water connection, but a water tank with a pump handles daily needs without hassle—a normal and practical setup for properties in this part of Norway, and not something that affects daily comfort in any meaningful way. Heating runs on both electricity and wood, giving you flexibility across seasons.
And the seasons here are worth talking about. Winter in Kvikne is the kind that Scandinavian tourism boards try to photograph but rarely quite capture. The cross-country ski tracks open up across the surrounding landscape, and you can be out on them within minutes of locking the cabin door. The light in February—low, golden, cutting sideways across snow-covered fields—is something most people only see on a calendar. Summer is the flip side: long days that barely get dark, the Kvikne hills turning green, hiking routes threading up through birch forest toward open plateau terrain where you can walk for hours without seeing a road. The area sits in the Folldal valley region, and trails connect through to Dovrefjell-Sunndalsfjella National Park—one of Norway's great wild landscapes, home to musk oxen and some of the most dramatic high-country walking in Scandinavia.
The drive from Oslo takes roughly three hours via the E6 north, which makes this viable as a long-weekend destination rather than a once-a-year pilgrimage. Røros—the UNESCO-listed copper mining town with its wooden 18th-century streetscape, regular outdoor markets, and one of Norway's best winter festivals, Rørosmartnan—is around an hour's drive southeast. For provisions, Alvdal is the nearest service town, about 25 kilometres away, with a grocery store, fuel, and the basics you need stocked before you head up to the cabin.
Owning a freehold holiday property in rural Norway as an international buyer is a relatively straightforward process compared to many European markets. Norway has no restrictions on foreign nationals purchasing real estate, and second-home ownership in mountain and rural areas carries a mature, well-understood legal framework. Property taxes are modest, and the rental market for well-located Norwegian cabins—particularly those with ski access—is active and growing, with platforms catering specifically to the domestic and Scandinavian holiday market. A property like this, priced at NOK 75,300, sits at a remarkably accessible entry point for Norwegian real estate, making it an interesting prospect for buyers looking to establish a foothold in the Scandinavian countryside market.

If you've been thinking about buying a second home in Norway and waiting for the right combination of price, condition, and location to line up—this is worth a serious look. Properties in this condition, on a plot this size, with this kind of access to the outdoors, don't sit on the market for long in Kvikne.
