Description
This chalet for sale in Drangedal, Telemark, sits about seven minutes by car from the Gautefall ski resort, on a 995 m² plot that is owned outright.
Built in 1980 and in good condition, it is a one-storey cabin with three bedrooms and a deliberately simple setup: mains electricity, a wood stove, a composting toilet, and no running water or sewage. That is the trade-off, and it is also why the fixed costs stay low. If you want a cabin you can open on Friday evening and lock again on Sunday without a long checklist, this one is built for that rhythm.
The Chalet: 65 m² on One Level
You enter through a windbreak, the small porch that keeps boots, snow and wind out of the living space. Beside it are a laundry room and a toilet room with the composting toilet. The main room combines living area, kitchen and dining table in one open space, which suits a family cooking and talking at the same time.
The wood-burning stove is the centre of the room. Its flat top can be used to heat water, so a kettle on the stove is how the day starts. A hallway leads to the three bedrooms, enough for a family with children or two couples sharing a weekend.
The internal living area is 65 m². Add the 18 m² external storage room and the total usable area comes to 83 m².
Terrace, Garden and Outbuildings
A door from the living room opens straight onto a large terrace that catches good sun through the summer. It has room for both a seating group and a dining table, and an outdoor fireplace keeps the evenings going after the sun drops behind the trees.
The 995 m² plot is a garden you can actually use, with space for children to play and for adults to do very little. You can drive right up and park on the plot. A detached, insulated storage shed holds skis, bikes, fishing gear and tools, so none of it ends up in the cabin itself.
The cabin stands at roughly 299 metres above sea level, which means cooler air in summer and a proper winter.
Outdoor Life Around Gautefall
The reason to look at a cabin on Hellehei is what lies around it. The Gautefall ski resort is about 7 minutes away by car, and well-kept cross-country trails run through the surrounding landscape in winter.
In summer the same area works for hiking and cycling on marked routes. Gautefallheia, close by, is known for its smooth rock outcrops, forest and open viewpoints. Himmelriket is one of the most popular hiking destinations here. Local lakes and rivers hold trout and other freshwater fish, so a rod is worth packing.
For daily needs, the nearest grocery store is about 12 minutes by car. A bus stop is roughly 11 minutes away on foot.
Buying a Second Home in Norway
A cabin like this is part of Norwegian cabin culture: simple, close to nature and cheap to run. A second home in Norway often means exactly this kind of place, with a wood stove, a terrace and trails starting nearby. Drangedal is a quiet inland municipality in Telemark. The archipelago town of Kragerø is the best-known coastal town in this part of the county, and Oslo and its Gardermoen airport are about three hours away by road.
Be realistic about the setup. With no running water, the cabin suits weekends, holidays and outdoor trips better than long stays. If that is the kind of cabin you want, the price of around €112,900 leaves a lot of room in the budget for skis, bikes and a good first season.
