Welcome to Karibrenna 54, a charming and classic Ålhytta-style cabin situated on a spacious and beautiful plot in the scenic Vikerfjell area. This property offers a unique opportunity to own a traditional Norwegian mountain cabin with a large freehold plot of over 4,000 square meters, providing ample space for outdoor activities, privacy, and future development. The cabin is located at Flaskerudsetra, a well-established and popular cabin area known for its open mountain landscapes, vast forests, and tranquil atmosphere. The region is highly sought after for its year-round recreational opportunities, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
The cabin itself is presented with a simple, classic standard, reflecting the timeless design of Ålhytta cabins. While it retains its original charm, it is important to note that some upgrades will be necessary to meet modern expectations and requirements. However, significant investments have already been made, including the installation of an electricity cable brought right up to the cabin wall during the establishment of a new access road. This provides an excellent foundation for further improvements, such as connecting the cabin to the power grid and potentially upgrading other utilities.
The property is easily accessible via both private and public roads, ensuring convenient year-round access. Its location is particularly attractive for those seeking a mountain getaway within a reasonable driving distance from Oslo, Hønefoss, and other major towns. The surrounding area is renowned for its recreational possibilities, including extensive cross-country ski trails (with prepared tracks just 200 meters from the cabin, part of a network spanning 70–80 kilometers), hiking and cycling trails, and excellent fishing opportunities in nearby lakes and rivers. In the summer, the area transforms into a paradise for hikers and cyclists, with numerous marked trails and scenic routes through forests and mountains.
The cabin's plot is a freehold property, offering over 4,000 square meters of land. This generous lot size not only ensures privacy and space for outdoor activities but also provides potential for future expansion or the addition of outbuildings, subject to local regulations. The plot is mostly natural terrain, with plenty of space for children to play, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful mountain environment. Parking is conveniently located just outside the property boundary, making it easy to bring supplies and guests to the cabin.
Inside, the cabin is efficiently designed to make the most of its 44 square meters of internal living space (47 square meters total usable area). The open-plan kitchen and living room create a welcoming and social atmosphere, with space for both a dining table and a comfortable sofa group. The kitchen features the classic Ålhytta interior, with good work surfaces and a gas stove for cooking. The living area is enhanced by a large brick fireplace and a wood-burning stove, providing both warmth and a cozy ambiance during the colder months. The vaulted ceiling adds to the sense of space and light, making the main living area feel open and inviting.
The cabin offers two bedrooms, providing sleeping accommodation for up to six people. The first bedroom is equipped with two bunk beds, one of which has a double bed on the lower level, maximizing sleeping capacity. The second bedroom features another bunk bed with two single beds. Both rooms include original Ålhytta storage solutions, ensuring practical use of space. Additionally, there is a small loft area above the hallway, which can be used for extra sleeping space if needed. A simple washroom/changing room is located next to the bedrooms, and there is an external storage shed with a toilet solution.
Currently, the cabin is off-grid, with solar panels providing basic lighting and wood/gas used for heating and cooking. Water can be fetched in containers from a nearby pump house, but it is possible to install pressurized water in the cabin (subject to the installation of a sewage system and connection costs). The property is designed for simple, traditional cabin living, but with the infrastructure in place for future upgrades, it offers great potential for modernization according to the new owner's preferences.
The area surrounding the cabin is a true recreational paradise. In winter, the extensive network of ski trails is easily accessible, while in summer, the region offers a wealth of hiking and cycling opportunities. The peaceful setting at approximately 720 meters above sea level ensures fresh air, beautiful views, and a sense of escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether you are seeking a base for active outdoor pursuits or a tranquil retreat to relax and unwind, this property provides the perfect setting.
In summary, Karibrenna 54 is a rare opportunity to acquire a classic Norwegian mountain cabin on a large, private plot in one of Vikerfjell's most attractive areas. With electricity already brought to the cabin wall, easy year-round access, and a wealth of recreational activities on your doorstep, this property is ideal for those looking to create their dream mountain getaway. The cabin's simple standard allows for immediate use, while the potential for upgrades and modernization offers the chance to tailor the property to your own needs and desires. Welcome to a viewing and experience the charm and possibilities of this unique mountain retreat!
