Description
This chalet for sale in Agder sits on a 1,161 m² freehold plot by Store Reiårsvatn, with a private borehole, a sauna and a wood-burning stove. It is a simple 1978 cabin at about 530 metres above sea level, in a cabin area used for walking, swimming and skiing through the seasons. The veranda looks out over forested hills. Standards are basic and some renovation is needed, which is reflected in the price. For anyone who wants a cabin in Norway to use this summer and improve at their own pace, it deserves a look.
The Cabin and Its 1,161 m² Plot
Inside, the 67 m² layout is straightforward. The living room has a wood-burning stove and a heat pump, plus large windows that bring in the light and frame the forest. The dining area sits in front of a row of windows and opens directly to the kitchen, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation. The kitchen has pine cabinets, a laminate worktop and a stainless steel sink.
There are two bedrooms. One holds a double bed and a bunk bed, so a family of four can sleep there without fuss. The other has room for single beds and looks out toward the entrance. You also get a sauna, two storage rooms, a hallway and a separate toilet room. From the living room you step straight onto the veranda, which is where the morning coffee will happen.
Outside, the plot is owned outright and has garden space for children, a fire pit or a vegetable bed. There is a woodshed for the winter supply and a detached annex with a covered entrance, which could serve as storage or, with some work, extra sleeping space. Furnishings and items currently in the cabin and on the plot are included in the sale, so you can arrive with little more than a bag of food.
Water, Heating and Renovation: What to Expect
This is an off-grid-style cabin with mains electricity, and buyers should know exactly what that means. There is no indoor plumbing and no sewage connection. Water comes from a private borehole drilled in 2023 and is drawn with a manual hand pump. The toilet room has a composting toilet beneath the floor.
The weatherproofing is in better shape than the interior. New roofing, chimney flashing and gutters were completed in 2024, which covers the costly jobs that matter most at this altitude. The interior is dated and would benefit from fresh surfaces and your own taste.
One point to check with your own adviser: the glazed veranda joining the main cabin to the extension has not been officially approved. Ask a local lawyer or the municipality what that means for permits before you commit.
A Second Home in Agder Built Around the Outdoors
Store Reiårsvatn is known locally for swimming and fishing, and the cabin area around it is quiet and child-friendly. Marked trails suit every level of walker. When winter arrives, the same hills turn to cross-country skiing, and children get their sledding. At roughly 530 metres, you can expect a proper Nordic season rather than the milder weather of the coast.
The cabin belongs to an established cabin community, so neighbours keep an eye on each other's places between visits. That helps if you plan to use it as a holiday home in Agder rather than a base you visit every week. Groceries and public transport are about eight minutes away by car, which means a forgotten item is never a crisis. The wider region is Setesdal country, with Bygland as the nearest community.
Getting There: Kristiansand and Drive Times
Kristiansand is about 120 kilometres away, and the drive takes roughly two hours in winter conditions, a little less in summer. Kristiansand is southern Norway's main city, with an airport and a ferry link to Denmark, which makes this a realistic second home in Norway for buyers coming from northern Europe. Plan your first winter visit with local advice on road conditions at this altitude.

No. Water comes from a borehole with a hand pump, and the toilet is a composting model. Anyone wanting a full bathroom would need to plan and budget for upgrades.
