About this property

1840s smallholding with farmyard calm

At this small farm dating from the 1840s, you’ll stay in a rural farmstead with historic character and a relaxed atmosphere that permeates everything from the buildings to the surroundings. It’s a peaceful place to arrive, with the kind of rural ambiance that’s hard to put your finger on but easy to feel.



Inside, the restoration has preserved fine details and a sense of history, and the furnishings have been chosen to emphasize the small farm’s character. The history within these walls is taken seriously, and you can feel it in the rooms.



From the balcony, you can enjoy the morning sun and views of the rural surroundings. Hoensvannet is a lovely spot for swimming and is well-suited for stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing. Holtefjell offers hiking and fishing, and the hiking trails are accessible in both summer and winter.



Blaafarveværket in Åmot and Fossesholm Manor in Vestfossen are both historic sites worth visiting. Kongsberg has a beautiful waterfall, a historic church, and a ski resort. Drammen is a relatively short drive or train ride away, featuring a riverside promenade, restaurants, and cafes.
