This exceptional holiday home seamlessly blends modern architecture with the timeless aesthetic of Scandinavian design, characterised by an abundance of light, clean lines, and thoughtful details. Perched high above the picturesque bay of Ranvika, the view stretches across the sea to the iconic Færder Lighthouse.
Just 5–10 minutes on foot from family-friendly beaches, sun-warmed rocky outcrops, and calm swimming coves, the property sits on a spacious 2,000 m² natural plot. Generous terraces, a handcrafted stone pizza oven, charcoal grill, and outdoor seating create the perfect setting for both relaxation and play, always with a view of the sea.
The interior is distinctly Nordic, featuring natural materials, long sightlines, and built-in cabinetry. Pale oak flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and custom-designed wooden doors lend the house a warm and serene atmosphere.
