This charming family cabin, built in 1987, is beautifully situated in an established area at Slåkå in Sauland, right next to the Heksfjell area. The property offers breathtaking views of Slåkåvatnet lake and the surrounding mountains, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The area is renowned for its stunning nature and numerous mountain peaks, providing endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and exploring the Norwegian wilderness.
The cabin itself is a delightful family getaway, featuring a well-thought-out floor plan and attractive, consistent finishes throughout. Most of the interior boasts wooden floors and paneled walls, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room is particularly cozy, with ample ceiling height and large windows that frame the spectacular views. A fireplace with an insert and a Wallas diesel heater (serviced in 2024) ensure comfort during colder months, while the open layout allows for multiple seating areas and a dedicated dining space adjacent to the kitchen.
The kitchen is both functional and stylish, equipped with tall cabinetry, profiled fronts, a laminate countertop, and protective panels above the work surfaces. There is designated space for a refrigerator and stove, making meal preparation convenient for family gatherings or entertaining guests.
The cabin offers four comfortable bedrooms, each designed to maximize space and comfort. The main bedroom and three additional bedrooms provide ample sleeping arrangements for family and friends, making this property suitable for both small and large groups. The bathroom is modern and well-appointed, featuring a countertop sink, under-sink cabinets with profiled fronts, mirrored upper cabinets, and a Cinderella incineration toilet installed in 2021 (serviced in 2023). In 2021, a well was drilled to provide water, and a water tap is conveniently located on the veranda railing.
The entrance hall offers plenty of space for shoes and outerwear, with access to two practical storage rooms for additional belongings. An external storage room is also available, perfect for storing outdoor equipment, tools, or seasonal items.
One of the standout features of this property is the expansive veranda, which offers 45 square meters of outdoor living space. The original covered section is 14 square meters, and in 2015, the veranda was extended by an additional 34 square meters, providing plenty of room for multiple outdoor seating zones. The veranda is accessible from both the entrance and the living room, making it an ideal spot for relaxing, dining, or simply enjoying the panoramic views. In front of the veranda, a stone-paved outdoor area and a terrace along one of the short walls further enhance the outdoor experience.
The property sits on a generous 1,028 square meter lot, characterized by natural vegetation and a sense of privacy. A gravel path leads from the veranda down to the parking area, which is conveniently located below the cabin along the Slåkånuten road. This ensures easy year-round access, a significant advantage for both summer and winter visits.
