Idyllic Chalet in Høydalsmo: Your Perfect Second Home by the Lake

Step outside on a July morning at Nordsivegen 266 and you'll hear it before you see it — the quiet lap of the Trondheimsfjord against the shoreline, birdsong threading through the pines, and absolutely nothing else. That silence isn't emptiness. It's the sound of a place that hasn't been overdeveloped, overcrowded, or overpriced. Not yet. This two-bedroom chalet in Kjønstadmarka sits just 3.5 kilometres from the centre of Levanger, a small Norwegian city on the southern shore of one of Europe's longest fjords. The drive into town takes under ten minutes. The feeling of being properly out in nature? That's instant, the moment you pull up to the property. The chalet was thoroughly overhauled in 2022 — not a cosmetic refresh, but a ground-up renovation that touched essentially everything. New roof, new cladding, new wind barrier and insulation. Every window and every door replaced. The electrical and plumbing systems brought fully up to modern Norwegian standards. Municipal water and sewage connected (summer supply). What that means in practice is a holiday home where you arrive, drop your bags, and get on with the holiday. There's no list of jobs waiting for you on the kitchen table. Inside, the living room earns its place as the heart of the chalet. High ceilings and large windows pull the outside in — on clear days you get uninterrupted views across the cultural landscape toward the fjord. The room is flooded with light in the long Norwegian summer, when the sun barely sets and evenings stretch golden and slow past ten o'clock. The wood-burning stove in the corner — a newly installed one, with a renovated fireplace surround — shifts the atmosphere entirely come autumn. There's something about that combination, wool bl ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's early July, the Norwegian sun is still above the horizon at nine in the evening, and you're sitting on a fifty-square-meter timber terrace with a cold glass of something local in hand, watching a fishing boat cut a slow white line across the Trondheimsleia strait. The smell of salt air drifts up the slope. Somewhere behind the cabin, a trail winds up into Sundfjellet. Nobody is in a hurry. This is Sundlandet — and it gets under your skin quickly. The chalet at Snillfjordsveien 4530 sits on a generous 1,206-square-meter plot in the coastal reaches of Trøndelag, about a hundred meters back from the water's edge. It's not a new build trying to imitate tradition — it's a cabin that's actually been lived in, cared for, and gradually improved since it first went up in 1980. A thoughtful modernization in 2006, a new bathroom fitted in 2018, a replacement hot water tank in 2023, a new washing machine in 2024: the kind of rolling, sensible upgrades that signal an owner who used the place properly and respected it. The result is a property in good condition, move-in ready, and comfortable in all four seasons. At 80 square meters across three bedrooms, the main cabin is compact without feeling cramped. The living room — around 24 square meters — carries large windows that track the sun east to west throughout the day, pulling Trondheimsleia's shifting light right into the room. Morning, the water is steel-grey and calm. Afternoon, it can turn a deep greenish-blue. Evening, on a clear day, there's a particular gold that comes off the fjord that you simply won't find anywhere else. A wood-burning stove sits at the heart of the room, and in October — when the birch trees have turned amber and the air bites — it ea ... click here to read more

Step onto the 40-square-metre south-facing terrace at Sundmyr 21 on a July morning and you'll understand immediately why people keep coming back to this corner of Rogaland. The light here is extraordinary — long and golden, bouncing off the water below, warming the timber decking by eight in the morning. You've got a coffee in your hand, the hills are doing that thing where they shift from blue to green as the clouds move, and the only sound is a woodpecker somewhere in the birch trees behind the plot. That's the life this chalet sells. Everything else is just detail. Built in 2010, this 82-square-metre cabin at Sundmyr 21 in Hovsherad sits in the Sætra recreational area of Rogaland, a part of Norway that doesn't always make it onto the international radar — which is precisely its strength. This isn't the overcrowded fjord circuit. The landscape is wilder, quieter, more honest. Rolling terrain, clear fishing lakes, marked trails that wind through heather and past rocky outcrops with views you'll want to photograph badly and experience properly. The cabin is in good condition throughout, with nothing dramatic required of a new owner beyond turning the key and deciding which trail to take first. The layout is practical in the way that good Norwegian cabin design always is — nothing wasted, nothing missing. You walk in through an entrance hall that doubles as a proper mudroom, which matters enormously when you're coming in from a wet autumn hike or a snowy February ski. From there, the open-plan living room and kitchen takes up the heart of the property, with high ceilings and large windows pulling in the southern light. The fireplace against the wall isn't decorative. On a January evening, when the temperature outside dr ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning at Svartbekken 37 and the ski tracks are already lit up by a low winter sun, less than a hundred meters from your front door. You click into your bindings, push off, and within thirty seconds you're gliding through birch forest with nothing but the sound of your own skis on packed snow. That's not a weekend fantasy — that's a Tuesday here in Nerskogen. Sitting at 660 meters above sea level in the Rennebu municipality of Trøndelag, this three-bedroom chalet is the kind of Norwegian cabin property that rarely makes it onto the open market in this condition and at this price. Built in 2000 and well maintained ever since, the 61-square-meter home sits on a generous freehold plot of 1,025 square meters with open terrain on all sides. No feeling of being hemmed in. Just sky, mountain ridges, and that particular silence you only get at altitude. The 44-square-meter south-facing terrace is, honestly, the heart of this property. Norwegians have a word — friluftsliv — for the philosophy of living outdoors as a way of life, and this terrace is built for exactly that. It's wide enough for a proper dining table, a couple of sun loungers, and still space left over for the kids to move around. On a clear July afternoon, the sun hits it from mid-morning until well into the evening. Midsummer dinners out here, with the mountains turning gold and a cold Hansa on the table, are the kind of evenings that become family mythology. Inside, the layout is compact but genuinely functional — which is what you want in a mountain cabin. The open-plan living and kitchen area is the main gathering space, anchored by a wood-burning stove that transforms the room on cold evenings. Large windows pull the landscape in ... click here to read more

Step out onto the terrace at seven in the morning, coffee in hand, and the Eidangerfjord is right there — wide, silver, and catching the first light of the day. Not visible from a distance through a sliver between rooftops. Actually there. That view is what you'll think about every single morning you're not here. This three-bedroom chalet at Bergsbygdavegen 152C sits at Døvika, one of Porsgrunn municipality's most coveted fjordside pockets, on a hillside position that gives it full-day sun from the moment the sun clears the ridgeline to the last warm glow of a Norwegian summer evening. The elevated plot isn't just about the view — it means the outdoor spaces stay dry faster after rain, catch every degree of warmth, and feel genuinely private. Neighbors exist but don't intrude. That's a rarer thing than it sounds in this part of Telemark. The walk to the water takes under five minutes on a footpath that winds through the landscape. Bring towels. The swimming area at the bottom is the kind of spot locals guard jealously — calm, clean, sheltered from wind, with rocky ledges for jumping and shallow entry for kids. In July and August, when southern Norway warms up properly, this becomes the entire shape of a day: morning coffee on the terrace, a mid-morning swim, lunch back at the cabin, afternoon in a sun lounger, another swim before dinner. Repeat. It sounds simple because it is, and that's exactly the point. The chalet itself was first built around 1954, which gives it a certain solidity and character that newer recreational builds often lack. It's been substantially updated rather than cosmetically refreshed — and there's a meaningful difference. In 2012, water, sewage, and a fully fitted bathroom were installed. The e ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the silence hits you first. Then the cold — clean, sharp, the kind that makes you feel genuinely alive. The cross-country trail begins just 250 metres from the front door of this four-bedroom chalet on Persbuåsen, and by the time you've clipped into your skis and pushed off into the tree line, the rest of the world has completely ceased to exist. That's the daily reality of owning a second home in Vegglifjell, and this particular cabin makes it very easy to stay a little longer than planned. Built in 2005 and kept in genuinely good shape, the chalet sits at around 813 metres above sea level in the highlands of Numedal, about 170 kilometres northwest of Oslo via the E134. It covers 99 square metres across two floors, with four bedrooms, two separate living rooms, and a bathroom with a private sauna — the kind of layout that works equally well for a family of five as it does for two couples sharing costs on a winter weekend. The ground floor sets the tone immediately. You come in through a practical entrance hallway with room for all the boots, jackets, and ski poles that mountain life demands, and from there the main living space opens up around a wood-burning stove. On a cold evening, that stove is the heart of everything — people gravitate toward it without thinking, dragging blankets from sofas, filling glasses of akevitt, recounting the day's run down Norefjell or the afternoon's skate-ski loop through the Vegglifjell terrain. The kitchen sits in open connection with the dining and living areas, fitted with solid wood cabinetry and a wooden countertop that feels more cabin-honest than showroom-slick. A glazed door off the kitchen leads directly onto the main veranda — 31 square ... click here to read more

Step out onto the terrace on a clear July morning, coffee in hand, and the whole of Byglandsfjorden opens up in front of you — that deep, glacier-carved water catching the early light, a rowing boat cutting silently across the surface somewhere below. This is the daily reality at Hagenes 25. Not a view you admire once and forget. One that keeps changing, keeps pulling you back outside. Built in 2008 and sitting on a gently elevated plot at Hagenesodden in Bygland municipality, this two-bedroom cabin is the kind of place southern Norway does better than almost anywhere in Europe. It's solid, thoughtfully put together, and in genuinely good condition — no renovation projects lurking beneath the surface. Just a well-kept retreat ready to be lived in from the first weekend you own it. The setting is what stops you. At roughly 220 meters above sea level, the cabin looks out over Byglandsfjorden — one of Norway's great inland fjords, stretching nearly 40 kilometers through the Setesdal valley. Down at the waterline, a short walk from the front door, there's a private dock. You can moor a boat there, cast a line for pike or perch at dusk, or simply sit with your feet over the edge and let the silence do its work. In summer, the water is warm enough to swim. That detail surprises most visitors who arrive expecting Norwegian waters to be freezing — Byglandsfjorden's sheltered position means swimming from mid-June through August is genuinely pleasant. Inside, the layout is sensibly designed — everything on a single level, which matters more than you'd think once you've spent a full day hiking and don't fancy stairs. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright, with high ceilings and large windows framing the fjord on one si ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in February, the kind where the air has that sharp, clean bite that wakes you up faster than coffee. You pull on your ski boots at the front door of your own cabin at Bekkekollhellinga 16, clip into your cross-country skis, and glide straight onto the groomed trail that runs less than 50 meters below the property. No shuttle. No parking lot. No queue. Just you, the pines, and about a thousand square meters of Norwegian mountain silence surrounding you. That's the daily reality at this 65-square-meter chalet sitting at roughly 600 meters above sea level in the Blefjell/Åslandseter area — a well-established mountain retreat zone in Numedal, Telemark, about two hours south of Oslo. Lampeland sits at the foot of this plateau, and from the cabin you're positioned centrally between Blestølen and Blestua, which puts you within easy reach of virtually everything this region offers while keeping the property itself tucked away and genuinely private. The south-facing exposure is one of the first things you notice. On clear days — and there are many, especially in spring and early autumn — the terrace catches sun from mid-morning until evening. The 25-square-meter outdoor deck is partially covered, so a light rain doesn't send you inside. There's a custom-built outdoor fireplace out here too, which extends the usable season considerably. Come September, when the birch trees turn gold and the nights cool fast, you can still sit outside long after dark with a fire going and a glass of something warm. That's the kind of detail that turns a holiday cabin into a proper second home. Inside, the layout is open and sensible. The living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together without feeling cram ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning and the entire valley is white, dead quiet except for the faint scrape of your own skis. Gaustatoppen sits right there across the ridge, its pyramid silhouette sharp against a pale Nordic sky. From the veranda of this cabin at Finntoppvegen 48, that view is yours every single day you're here. Not a postcard. The real thing. Skirvedalen is one of those corners of Telemark that Norwegians guard a little jealously. The valley sits inside Tinn municipality, tucked into the highland plateau at roughly 878 meters above sea level, and it has none of the overbuilt, après-ski busyness you'd find closer to Rauland or Geilo. What it has instead is 109 kilometers of groomed cross-country trails threading through birch and pine, almost total quiet on weekday mornings, and the kind of air that makes you feel like you've been doing something wrong by breathing city air for so long. This chalet was built in 1998 and has been properly refreshed in 2024 — new bathroom, updated laundry and technical room, fixtures that don't feel like an afterthought. The overall condition is good throughout. It's 54 square meters of interior space, which sounds compact until you're actually inside and realize the open-plan layout between the living area and kitchen makes the whole main floor feel generous and social. Big windows pull the landscape in. On a clear afternoon the light off Gaustatoppen pours through and pools across the wooden floor in a way that genuinely stops you mid-conversation. The fireplace is the heart of winter evenings here. Get back from a few hours on the trails — the groomed cross-country network starts just 178 meters from the front door, which in practice means you click into your skis on th ... click here to read more

You wake up to silence. Not the muffled, negotiated silence of a city apartment with double glazing — actual silence, broken only by the creak of log walls contracting in the cold and the faint whisper of wind moving through spruce trees. Pull back the curtain and there's a metre of fresh snow on the sod roof, the ski trail groomed and waiting less than fifty metres from your front door. That's the morning this cabin offers, over and over again. Sitting at 652 metres above sea level in the Nøklåkjølen area of Rendalen, this compact, well-built log chalet has a clarity of purpose that a lot of mountain properties lack. It was built to be used hard, to feel warm the moment you step inside, and to send you back outdoors recharged. At 58 square metres across the main cabin, with a separate annex and a timber outbuilding on a 926 m² freehold plot, it delivers on all three counts. The construction is solid log — not a decorative finish, actual stacked log walls that date to 2011 — topped with a traditional sod roof that keeps the interior at a remarkably even temperature year-round. Inside, the open-plan living room and kitchen is anchored by a fireplace that does real work. After a long day on the trails, you come in, peel off your layers in the entrance hall (dimmable spotlights, generous boot storage), and within twenty minutes you're horizontal on the sofa with the fire going and steam rising off your coffee. The kitchen is fitted with aged-painted fronts, a solid wood worktop, and gas-powered appliances — practical, unhurried, exactly right for the setting. The dining area sits beside it, with space for a proper long table where everyone can eat together at the end of a day. Two bedrooms handle the sleeping arrangement ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the fjord is already catching the light. The hills across the water are still half in shadow. A wooden terrace stretches out ahead of you — 103 square metres of it — and the only sound is wind through birch trees and the faint lap of water somewhere below. This is what you drove to Norway for. This is what you actually own. Lybergsviksvegen 58 sits in the Ottestad cabin area at Rødven, a cluster of leisure properties above the Romsdalsfjord in Rauma municipality — a region that serious hikers and outdoor people have known about for decades, but that still hasn't been overrun. The chalet itself was built in 2008 and covers 101 square metres of interior living space, with an additional outbuilding with carport and a total lot of 3,462 square metres. That includes an undeveloped neighbouring plot of 1,406 square metres — blank canvas for whatever comes next. Inside, the main floor opens through a proper hallway into a generous living room. Big windows pull the landscape indoors; on clear days you can see across to the mountains that ring this part of the Romsdal valley. A wood-burning stove sits at the heart of the room, and on an October afternoon when the temperature drops sharply and the first dusting of snow appears on the ridgelines, you will be very glad it's there. The kitchen is practical and well-fitted — nothing fussy, everything functional. Two bedrooms sit off the main floor, along with a bathroom, a separate toilet, a storage room, and — genuinely one of the property's highlights — a sauna. A proper sauna, not an afterthought. Come back from a day on the Romsdalseggen ridge trail, which stretches 10 kilometres between Åndalsnes and Vengedalen with views that ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning, clip into your cross-country skis right at the edge of the property, and push off into a white plateau that stretches further than you can see. No shuttle bus. No queue. Just you, the track, and the particular hush that only falls on a Norwegian mountain when fresh snow has settled overnight. That's the daily reality at Nørdre Einarsetlie 9 — a well-kept mountain chalet on Golsfjellet that has been quietly doing its job for decades, and doing it well. Gol sits in Hallingdal, a valley that Norwegians have been escaping to for generations. It's not a secret, exactly, but it's far enough from Oslo's orbit — about two and a half hours by car along the E16 — that it retains the unhurried rhythm that makes a proper mountain retreat worth having. The Golsfjellet plateau above the town is where the cabin culture thrives, and Nørdre Einarsetlie is one of its most established addresses. Neighbouring cabins are spread apart generously. You hear wind and birds, not neighbours. The chalet itself was originally built in 1973. Fifty-plus years is a long life for a mountain building, and this one has earned it — updated progressively over the years rather than left to quietly deteriorate. The result is a structure that feels honest and lived-in rather than a showroom renovation. Thick walls, a fireplace, a wood-burning stove that you'll want lit by late afternoon even in September. When the stove is going and the large living-area windows have gone dark with evening, there's a particular quality of warmth in here that newer builds tend to miss. The layout across the 72 square metres is practical without feeling cramped. An entrance hall handles the wet gear — boots, skis, poles, all of it — before ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a crisp October morning at Bjørkestubben 24 is the silence. Not the uncomfortable kind — the rare, earned kind that only arrives when you're sitting at 920 metres above sea level, wrapped in a wool blanket, watching mist lift off the Hallingdal valley below while a birch log crackles in the stove behind you. That's the daily reality of this place. Not a simulation of Norwegian mountain life, but the genuine article. This is a Hallingstue — a traditional timber log structure rooted in the architecture of the Hallingdal region — built in 1913 and originally part of the fabric of Robru before being carefully relocated to Sjauset in the early 1970s. The annex arrived later, moved piece by piece from Vestre Gausdal in 2000, itself a former retirement home with its own quiet history. Two buildings, two stories, one remarkable property sitting on 1,000 square metres of freehold mountain land just outside Gol in the heart of Numedal and Hallingdal's most celebrated outdoor country. The logs are dark with age in the best possible way. Inside the main cabin, the walls tell you immediately that this is not a flat-pack weekend house. Exposed timber, low beams, and a fireplace that dominates the living room create a warmth that central heating simply can't replicate. Upstairs via a narrow wooden staircase, a loft opens into sleeping spaces that feel tucked away from the world — perfect for children or guests who want their own corner of the mountain. The main bedroom is proper-sized, grounded, comfortable. The kitchen is one of those rooms you want to cook in: solid wood cabinetry painted in a deep, slightly weathered blue, a chunky wood countertop, a freestanding induction hob, and a wood-burning stov ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning and the whole valley is yours. Cloudberries glowing orange in the low sun, the outline of Gaustatoppen sharp against a pale sky, the smell of birch and cold air coming off the plateau. That's the daily reality at this timber chalet on Kultanvegen, sitting at 681 meters above sea level in Tuddal — one of Telemark's most quietly rewarding mountain communities, and still a genuine secret compared to the more trafficked Norwegian ski resorts further north. Built in 2009 by Norsk Fjellhus, a builder with a long reputation for getting the Norwegian mountain cabin right, this 98-square-meter property wears its credentials lightly. Turf roof. Solid timber walls that take on a deeper warmth as the years go by. The kind of construction that isn't trying to look like a traditional Norwegian hytte — it simply is one, without the affectation. Pull open the front door and the main living space opens up immediately. The kitchen and living area share one connected room, framed by exposed ceiling beams and warmed by a two-way fireplace you can watch from the sofa or the dining table. After the kitchen was extended in 2021, there's now real counter space — induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer all integrated — without the cramped, make-do feel of so many mountain kitchens. The large windows above the dining area frame Gaustatoppen, Gaustaknea, and Bonsnos like a painting that changes with every season. In January, those peaks are white and severe. In July, they turn green-grey under long evening light that barely fades. Everything in the chalet sits on a single level, which makes it genuinely practical for families. No stairs to navigate after a 20-kilometer ski loop or a long day picki ... click here to read more

Stand on the stone-paved terrace on a late June evening, the sky still pale gold at ten o'clock, a low fire crackling in the outdoor fireplace, and the smell of salt air drifting up from Dreggavik marina just down the path. That's the rhythm of life at this cabin on Dreggjavikveien 12. Not a fantasy — a Tuesday. Sandnes sits on the edge of the Gandsfjord in Rogaland, a county that Norwegians have quietly kept to themselves for decades while the rest of Europe chased Lofoten headlines. The Bersagel shoreline here is the kind of place where families have been launching rowboats and lighting grill fires for generations. The cabin itself carries that same unhurried quality — pine-planked floors worn just enough to feel honest, wood-paneled walls that hold warmth the way only timber does, a wood-burning stove that becomes the gravitational center of the room the moment October arrives. The living space is more generous than you'd expect for 69 square meters. Large windows pull in southern light for most of the day, and the open arrangement means the kitchen, dining nook, and sitting area all flow together rather than feeling chopped up. There's a proper spot by the window to eat breakfast while watching the birch trees move in the morning breeze — one of those small domestic pleasures that ends up mattering more than any feature list ever could. The kitchen has profiled cabinet fronts and enough counter space to actually cook, not just reheat. The main bedroom fits a double bed comfortably and shares that same close-grained timber cladding that runs through the rest of the interior. Off it, a practical alcove provides sleeping space for two more — grandkids, friends, whoever shows up for the July crab season. The bathroom ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the world is completely white and completely quiet. The cross-country trail runs just 120 meters from the front door — you can hear the sound of your own skis cutting through fresh snow before the rest of the valley is even awake. This is Fetlia, a small cluster of cabins sitting at 395 meters above sea level in the Sunnmøre Alps, and this particular chalet has been holding its own here for years with a kind of unpretentious confidence that's hard to fake. The setting hits you first. Large windows across the main living space look straight out at Nysætervatnet, the lake below shifting color through the day — silver in the morning light, deep blue-green by afternoon, then a flat pewter grey as the peaks catch the last of the sun. The vaulted ceiling climbs nearly five meters overhead, which sounds like a detail on a spec sheet until you're actually standing in it and realize how rarely Norwegian mountain cabins feel this open. There's no sense of compression, no low beams making you duck. Just space, light, and a fireplace in the corner that does exactly what a fireplace should: takes the edge off a cold evening and gives everyone a reason to sit still. The kitchen is the work of Mørekjøkken — a local craftsman workshop out of the region — built in a classic L-shape from solid wood that has aged into itself rather than against itself. Integrated oven, cooktop, provisions for a washing machine. It's not a showpiece kitchen designed to be photographed; it's one designed to be used, and there's a meaningful difference. The dining area sits right alongside it, open to the living room so conversation carries easily from the stove to the sofa. Up to twelve people can sleep comfortably he ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and within ninety seconds your feet are on warm sand. That's the reality at Rognstranda 4. The Norwegian sun, which in midsummer barely dips below the horizon, has already been baking the south-facing terrace for hours by the time you pour your first coffee. This is not a compromise cabin hidden behind trees with a distant water view — it sits on a generous corner lot where sunlight tracks across the property from sunrise to well past nine at night. The chalet itself was built in 1958, and there's an honesty to that era of construction — solid wood floors, panelled walls, a wood-burning stove that means you can crack the place open in late March or keep it running into October without shivering through dinner. At 66 square metres split between a main cabin and a detached annex, the layout is compact but genuinely functional. Two proper bedrooms sit on the ground floor, plus two sleeping alcoves for when the kids bring friends or the cousins arrive unannounced in August. The living room catches afternoon light through wide windows that frame the surrounding coastal landscape — birch, granite, salt air — and the wood stove anchors the room without overwhelming it. The kitchen is straightforward and practical, with custom-built cabinetry and a back door that opens directly onto the yard. That detail matters more than it sounds: you're carrying groceries in from the car, setting up the outdoor kitchen on the patio, moving between inside and outside constantly the way you do when you're actually on holiday. The bathroom is a decent size — toilet, mirror vanity, shower cabin, and plumbing already in place for a washing machine. Solid and well-maintained. Nothing to fix before your first stay. ... click here to read more

Step outside on a February morning and the only sound is the creak of fresh snow under your boots. The trail from Åsveien 499 pushes straight into the Meråker hills, and by the time the sun clears the ridge to the southeast, it's pouring onto a south-west facing terrace that stays warm well into the afternoon. This is what 581 meters above sea level actually feels like — not a postcard, but a cold nose and hot coffee and nowhere you'd rather be. The chalet sits on Åsveien in one of Trøndelag's most accessible yet genuinely quiet mountain areas. Meråker is the kind of place that Norwegians know well but international buyers are only just discovering — an hour by road from Trondheim Airport (Værnes), with a train station just 17 minutes from the door. You're not trading convenience for wilderness here. You're getting both. The main cabin was built in 1968 and thoroughly rebuilt and extended in 2013. That renovation did something important: it preserved the cabin's honest, timber-framed character while adding the things that make a property actually liveable — proper insulation, modern electrics, running water, and a bathroom with underfloor heating. Too many mountain properties of this era still have one foot in the past. This one made the full crossing. Inside, the open-plan living room and kitchen runs to 39 square meters, which sounds like a number until you're standing under the high ceiling watching late-afternoon light slide across the mountains through windows that take up most of the south-facing wall. The fireplace anchors the living area — a wood-burner, not decorative — and on a November evening it earns its place. The kitchen is fitted with white cabinetry, a solid wood worktop, and integrated appliances. No ... click here to read more
