Description
Welcome to Øvrevoll, nestled in the picturesque setting of Ringsåsvegen 88, Hernes. As a busy real estate agent with a global reach, I'm delighted to guide you through this unique opportunity in the heart of Norway's serene landscape, designed especially for those dreaming of a personal retreat. This traditional chalet, with its historical roots tracing back to the 1800s, is not merely a building; it's a canvas for crafting your haven amidst beautiful surroundings.
The chalet is a well-preserved piece of history. This is a handcrafted wonder, echoing the craftsmanship of the past and presenting a quintessential mountain retreat. Spread across an expansive 100 square meters, Øvrevoll offers two bedrooms, accommodating both intimate gatherings and larger families seeking solace in the mountains. However, potential buyers should note that, as is common with properties with such historical value, there is a backlog of maintenance, hinting that some renovation work is required. But fret not, as each brushstroke of renovation offers a chance to restore and modernize this classic structure, adding your personal touch to its storied construction.
Living in Hernes offers an unmatched experience where every day feels like a breath of fresh mountain air. As an agent who often juggles schedules from different time zones, I can attest to Hernes being an oasis from the bustle of everyday life. The climate here is characterized by distinct seasons, with winters cloaked in snow and summers providing clear blue skies and lush greenery. This allows for a multitude of activities all year round. In the winter, the snow-clad landscapes are perfect for skiing and sledding, while the summers welcome hiking, fishing, and cycling. It's a community that values nature and outdoor pursuits, ensuring that residents who love exploration and adventure always have something on their to-do list.
The property consists not only of the chalet but also an annex and an outbuilding. While these additional structures also exhibit signs of wear and require thoughtful renovation, they offer excellent potential. Imagine transforming them into guest quarters, a workshop, or a studio, enhancing both functionality and allure. The charm of living in a chalet like Øvrevoll lies in the cozy, warm atmosphere that such properties naturally cultivate. With a connective space like this, storytelling by the fireplace with family becomes a cherished tradition.
Life in the local area is characterized by tranquility and close-knit communal living. Hernes is small but boasts a rich local culture that respects and celebrates its environment. The town's events, though understated, are heartfelt, with community gatherings often centered around seasonal changes and local artisan fairs.
For those wondering about amenities, Hernes does not disappoint despite being a retreat from urban life. Here are a few highlights from the property and the area:

To be upfront, a bit of elbow grease is necessary to ensure the chalet's optimal condition, but the potential to craft an extraordinary mountain getaway awaits. The property, much like the community of Hernes itself, offers a promise of serenity and an opportunity to slow down and savor each moment.
