Description

A Lakeside Tribute to Icelandic Heritage

Nestled within the protected expanse of Þingvellir National Park, this 108-square-metre lakefront residence stands as a refined tribute to Iceland’s heritage of turf-house architecture.

Blending Viking-inspired design with contemporary comforts, the home offers a tastefully curated retreat where panoramic lake views define every sightline.

The open-plan living area features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the ever-changing light across Þingvellir Lake, while a central fireplace anchors the space for cooler evenings. A fully equipped kitchen with a stovetop island and a dining area accommodating twelve makes entertaining seamless.

Two spacious bedrooms, each with private patio access and lake views, provide quiet separation. The master suite includes an en-suite shower bathroom, and a second full bath serves the guest bedroom.

Outside, a wraparound patio unfolds into seating areas and a hot tub positioned to capture the lake’s reflections. Fishing opportunities are steps away, inviting quiet mornings on the water.

Smart TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a washer-dryer complete the thoughtful amenities. This is not merely a cabin but a well-appointed sanctuary, elegant, understated, and profoundly connected to Iceland’s elemental landscape.
