This charming log cabin, originally built in 1975, is nestled in a small cluster of holiday homes on Blefjell, surrounded by breathtaking natural landscapes and offering direct access to some of Norway’s most beautiful hiking terrain. The property is set on a generous, privately owned plot of 1,969 square meters, providing both privacy and ample space for outdoor activities. The cabin is accompanied by a traditional storehouse (stabbur) and a practical outbuilding, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquility, nature, and authentic Norwegian mountain living.
The main cabin has undergone several thoughtful upgrades over the years, ensuring comfort while preserving its rustic charm. Notable improvements include new windows installed between 1999 and 2006, roof shingles replaced in 1999, a new front door in 2001, and a veranda door added in 2014. In 2018, new gutters were installed, and all buildings were freshly painted externally in 2022, ensuring the property is well-maintained and visually appealing.
The cabin is equipped with a solar panel system installed in 2018, providing reliable electricity for lighting, TV, and charging devices. The kitchen and several wall-mounted heaters operate on a shared gas system, while a wood-burning stove from 1999 in the living room adds warmth and a cozy atmosphere. The kitchen, updated in 2000, features profiled cabinetry, a solid wood countertop, a charcoal filter ventilator, and provisions for a gas stove and refrigerator. White goods are included in the sale. Water is supplied from a tank with a pump controlled from the tap, and there is a gray water outlet. The property has summer water to the wall and a composting toilet (snurredo) installed in 2005, with heating provided by gas.
The interior layout of the cabin is both practical and inviting. It comprises an entrance hall, hallway, open-plan living room and kitchen, two bedrooms, and a utility room. The living area boasts high ceilings and an open kitchen solution, creating a spacious and welcoming environment. From the living room/kitchen, there is direct access to a veranda that enjoys afternoon sun, perfect for relaxing or entertaining guests. The entrance hall is equipped with a wardrobe and a separate nook for shoes and outerwear. The utility room features a sink with water from a tank and a pump, though it is not constructed as a wet room due to the lack of permanent water installation.
The property also includes a storehouse (stabbur) built in 1976, measuring 5 square meters, which contains a guest room with two built-in beds (though it is primarily intended for storage). The outbuilding, constructed in 1974 and spanning 17 square meters, houses a workshop with a shower cabin, a toilet room, and two storage rooms. The outbuilding’s roof shingles were replaced in 2011, and the storehouse received new roof shingles and an exterior door around 1999, with a window added in 2004. At the entrance to the outbuilding, there is summer water with a pump from a private well. The workshop includes a shower with water supplied by a canister and a gray water outlet. The storage rooms in the outbuilding contain various tools, some of which may be included in the sale.
Outdoor living is a highlight of this property, with several delightful seating areas totaling 71 square meters, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day. The entrance area features a covered porch with stairs leading down to a beautiful outdoor space, where new roof shingles were added in 2021. The outdoor areas have been developed over time, with the space between the cabin and the outbuilding constructed in 2007 and the deck added in 2015. The property’s sloping terrain is landscaped with a lawn, natural stone retaining walls, and native vegetation, creating a harmonious blend with the surrounding environment.
Access to the property is convenient, with a gravel road and parking for several cars established in 2019, leading directly to the plot and a footpath up to the cabin. The location on Blefjell offers a peaceful and secluded setting, yet it is easily accessible by car, making it suitable for year-round use.
The surrounding area is renowned for its outdoor recreational opportunities. Right outside your door, you’ll find extensive hiking trails, cross-country skiing routes, and several mountain lakes ideal for swimming and fishing. The region is also rich in wild berries, particularly blueberries, making it a paradise for foragers. Approximately 1 km from the property is Sigurdsbu, a DNT (Norwegian Trekking Association) cabin staffed with a kiosk and snowmobile access during winter and Easter holidays. Sigurdsbu, situated at 1,180 meters above sea level, serves as an excellent starting point for further adventures northward on Blefjell. For alpine skiing enthusiasts, Kongsberg Ski Center is about 40 km away, offering multiple lifts and slopes.
The cabin is being sold partially furnished, with some movable items to be removed. The property is ideal for families, couples, or individuals seeking a genuine mountain cabin experience with modern conveniences, surrounded by pristine nature and endless possibilities for outdoor activities. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat, a base for hiking and skiing, or a place to gather with friends and family, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Norwegian mountain paradise.
