Description
This charming and furnished cabin at Skardstølen 18 is now for sale, offering a unique opportunity to own a peaceful retreat in the scenic Fresvikåsen area, located in Fresvik, Vik municipality, Sogn, within the UNESCO World Heritage area of Nærøyfjorden. The property is perfectly situated for those seeking tranquility, direct access to nature, and a true cabin experience, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cabin enjoys a sunny location by Skardstjernet, surrounded by beautiful mountain landscapes and pristine wilderness.
The cabin itself is designed for simplicity and comfort, with a classic Norwegian cabin feel. It features a living room with a kitchen nook and dining area, two bedrooms, two loft sleeping areas (hems), and an entrance hall. The property also includes an outbuilding with a traditional outdoor toilet and a woodshed/tool room. The cabin is sold furnished, making it ready for immediate use and enjoyment.
The living room is cozy and inviting, with a wood-burning stove that provides warmth and ambiance during chilly evenings. The kitchen is equipped with a handcrafted interior, a sink with greywater drainage, a gas stove, and a gas refrigerator. Water for washing can be fetched from a well approximately 50 meters from the cabin. There is no running water, which adds to the authentic, rustic experience. The dining area offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, making every meal a special occasion.
Sleeping arrangements are flexible and practical. There are two dedicated bedrooms, each providing comfortable sleeping space. In addition, there are two lofts (hems), each with room for four mattresses, making the cabin suitable for larger families or groups of friends. The lofts are accessible via fold-down ladders and are located above both the old and new sections of the cabin. The total indoor living area is 52 square meters, with an additional 8 square meters of external usable space and a 10 square meter balcony/terrace.
The cabin has been upgraded and expanded over time. Notably, in 2011, an extension was added, providing a larger living room and kitchen nook, new windows, insulated exterior walls, and a new loft above the extension. The roof is new and well-insulated, ensuring the cabin remains warm and comfortable throughout the year. The outbuilding was constructed in 1999, and the cabin was painted externally in 2022. Heating is provided by both a wood-burning stove and a gas heater, with a red stone chimney that serves as an excellent heat reservoir. The cabin is well-insulated, except for the floor and the north wall in the old section, which have not been retrofitted. There is a minor subsidence in the northwest corner, which is noted for transparency.
The property sits on a leased plot, with an annual lease fee of 800 NOK. The total property tax is 1,430 NOK per year. The cabin is located at an elevation of 690 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking views and a true mountain atmosphere. Access to the cabin is via a 300-meter trail from the nearest road, ensuring privacy and a sense of seclusion while still being accessible.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find this location ideal, with direct access to hiking trails, ski terrain, and numerous opportunities for outdoor activities year-round. The area is renowned for its natural beauty, with many scenic hikes in the surrounding Nærøyfjorden World Heritage area. Notable excursions include trips to Middagshaugen, offering panoramic views over Fresvikbygda (about an hour's walk from the cabin), Skomakarnipa with its dramatic vistas over Nærøyfjorden (about two hours' walk), and Legdaskar, which provides views of Jotunheimen (about an hour's walk and 900 meters above sea level).
The cabin's facilities include a balcony/terrace, fireplace/wood stove, proximity to hiking terrain, and stunning views. A gasoline generator is included, providing electricity when needed, and there is an external gas cabinet with space for two containers. The property is ideal for those seeking a simple, nature-oriented lifestyle, whether for summer or winter use.
