Description

A Refined Hillside Home with Panoramic Valley Views

Nestled on a serene hillside in the sought-after area of Vaglaskógur, this elegant villa presents a refined escape into the natural beauty of Northern Iceland. The property commands breathtaking, uninterrupted views across a peaceful valley, a panorama that frames the home’s atmosphere and brings the tranquillity of the countryside into every room. Situated for both privacy and convenience, it is a mere 20-minute journey via the Vaðlaheiðar Tunnel from the cultural hub of Akureyri.

Spanning 250 square meters, the residence masterfully blends modern Scandinavian design with rustic charm. Abundant natural light, clean lines, and a thoughtful connection to the surrounding landscape characterise the interior. Its well-appointed layout includes four comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, centred around a spacious, inviting living and dining area designed for gathering. A true highlight is the lower-level wellness sanctuary, featuring a luxurious private sauna and shower. Outside, three distinct terraces offer spaces for alfresco dining and relaxation, complemented by a soothing hot tub and a refreshing outdoor shower.

This home is tailored for those seeking a tasteful and restorative mountain getaway. It provides an ideal base for exploring the North’s wonders or simply unwinding in a setting of profound peace, where the ever-changing light over the valley and the potential dance of the Aurora Borealis create an unforgettable backdrop.
