Description
Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Borani in Kåfjord, part of the charming Alta Municipality in Norway, this cabin at Mathisfoss 57 offers you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural splendor of Scandinavia. If you’re on the lookout for a place that harmonizes with nature and provides an authentic escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life, this 2-room cabin might just be the perfect fit for you. Let me weave you a tale of this quaint abode, inviting you to envision your life here amidst the stunning Norwegian wilderness.
The journey to this idyllic cabin begins on a cart road that is conveniently accessible with a regular car, leading you into the heart of Borani’s glorious hiking and hunting terrain. On arrival, the serene surroundings promise a haven for those who have a penchant for outdoor escapades. Imagine waking up to mornings where you can step right outside your door to partake in berry picking or maybe even a grouse hunt, if that's your thing! Truly, nature is your neighbor here.
Situated on a plot stretching over approximately 1.8 acres, the cabin stands proud as a testament to the simpler times. This includes an outhouse and an outdoor toilet, embodying a classic Norwegian lifestyle. Should you venture through the cabin doors, you’ll find that while the structure reflects an older architectural style, it's been lovingly maintained. Interior painting in 2022 breathes a fresh life into the space.
However, this cabin is not just about cozy living; it's an invitation to roll up your sleeves and indulge in a bit of a project. Some renovations are eagerly awaiting a thoughtful hand—window frames and door frames have been removed in anticipation of new windows, with a cost estimated at 65,000 to 70,000 NOK should you choose to undertake this task promptly. There lies potential in these updates, turning it into a cabin that's truly yours.
Now, let’s talk about the cozy little sanctum that is this cabin:
- Size: 39 sq. meters
- 1 warm and inviting bedroom
- 0 bathrooms (well, there's always the outhouse!)
- Recently refreshed kitchen area
- Solar panel system for power
- Gas stove and refrigerator
- Veranda with 2022 railings
While the cabin doesn’t boast modern conveniences such as running water or electricity, you've got a solar panel and a battery regulator to help along the way, offering a bit of rustic sustainability. Plus, with a sense of Norwegian ingenuity, the kitchen sink is ready with a 12V system to cater to your basic needs.
Life in Borani is as multifaceted as the landscape itself. The cabin’s proximity to the sea and rivers ensures that a delightful stroll is always within reach, with stunning vistas over Kåfjordbotn and Borani guaranteed to amaze you at every turn. For a spot in what feels like the world’s untouched backyard, you cannot be too far removed from the world as there are three other cabins in the vicinity, yet perfectly spaced to provide that precious feeling of solitude.
Alta, the central town in this municipality, is not too far away either, offering a touch of community life when you need it. Known for its rich cultural heritage, Alta invites exploration with its UNESCO-protected rock carvings and the fascinating Northern Lights Cathedral.
Prepare yourself for a climate that shifts from snow-blanketed winters to bright, sunny summers. Each season offers its own kind of beauty and adventure—snowshoeing and skiing in the colder months, with hiking and kayaking when the sun graces the sky for extended periods in the summer.
Priced at 1,055,550 NOK, this property marries the idea of a peaceful retreat with a slice of Norwegian history, all enveloped in a natural wonderland. This could be your gateway to life in one of the world's most intriguing locales, a home away from home for those weary wanderers seeking both escape and expedition. Here, under the great stretch of the Norwegian sky, the cabin at Mathisfoss 57 awaits your arrival.
