Description
This log cabin for sale in Prestfoss, Buskerud, dates from around 1850 and sits on a freehold 1,160 m² forest plot with an annex and a stabbur.
The buildings stand around a open courtyard with woodland on every side, so the first thing you notice is how quiet it is. Pine floors, bare log walls and a wood-burning stove set the tone inside. It needs updating, and it is priced at €69,900 with that in mind. For anyone who wants a cabin in Norway to restore at their own pace rather than a finished showpiece, this is a realistic starting point.
The Main Cabin: Logs, Pine and a Wood Stove
The main cabin is a single open-plan space that combines living room, kitchen and bedroom. Original pine floorboards run underfoot, the walls are exposed logs, and the ceilings are painted wood. The kitchen is basic: a solid wood countertop and a stainless steel sink, nothing more. The wood-burning stove does the heating, which is how most Norwegian cabins of this age have always worked.
The bedroom has red-painted timber walls and room for a double bed. Windows on two sides look into the forest, so you wake up to trees rather than neighbours. Electricity has been brought to the outside wall of the cabin, but not further. That leaves you free to plan the wiring, lighting and any modern kitchen or bathroom the way you want them.
Annex, Stabbur and the 1,160 m² Plot
Next to the cabin stands a log annex built in the same style. It has a living room large enough for a sofa corner and a dining table, plus a separate sleeping area with a wooden bed frame and a window onto the trees. At the entrance there is a covered terrace, and the roof is tiled. For a family or a group of friends, the annex means the cabin never feels crowded. It could also work as a guest cabin, a studio or a quiet place to work.
The stabbur is the traditional Norwegian storehouse, here set on a natural stone foundation and currently used for storage. A log utility shed adds more storage and holds the outdoor toilet. The plot is freehold, gently sloping and ringed by mature forest. There is plenty of space between the buildings for a vegetable patch, a fire pit or a play area for children.
Living in Prestfoss, Sigdal
Prestfoss is a small village in Sigdal municipality, and this is a place for people who like the outdoors. The cabin is a short drive from the village, where you find grocery shops and everyday services. The nearest bus stop is about an 8-minute walk away. The property sits at roughly 322 metres above sea level, which means cooler summer evenings and proper snow in winter.
Nearby lakes and rivers offer swimming and fishing in summer, and the forest around the plot suits hiking and berry picking. Lake Krøderen is within easy reach for a day out on the water, and the Norefjell ski area is a drive away when you want downhill skiing rather than cross-country tracks.
Getting There from Oslo
Oslo is roughly two hours away by road, depending on traffic and the season, and Oslo Gardermoen is the usual international airport for buyers flying in. That makes the cabin realistic for long weekends as well as summer holidays. If you plan to come in winter, ask about road access and snow clearing on the final stretch before you commit.
Buying a Second Home in Norway
The cabin is in good overall condition for its age but needs modernisation, so budget for work on services, insulation and the kitchen. Check water and sewage arrangements during your viewing, since only an outdoor toilet is listed. Norway has ownership rules for some rural properties, so it is sensible to use a Norwegian lawyer to confirm the position before you buy.
