Luxury Farm house w/amazing views, natural geothermal hot spring and nature | House in Mosfellsbær
3 Bedroom House in Kjosarhreppur, Mosfellsbær
Newly renovated farm house located in Hvalfjordur only 40 min from Reykjavik on a gated private 1200 acre estate along the coast enjoying spectacular views & nature. There is a natural hot spring, rainbow trout fishing lake and multiple historical landmarks on site. Vikings settled here 1000 years ago and scenes in Game of Thrones were shot on the property. Glymur, highest waterfall in Iceland is 15 minutes away as well as numerous scenic hikes. Geysir and the Golden Circle are ca an hour away.
The luxury farmhouse was completely renovated in 2017 and is part of the Hvammsvik Estate. It was originally built in 1930 as a traditional 3 story farmhouse with exceptional views over the property and Hvalfjörður "Whalefjord" bay. The house is on three floors with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor. An open kitchen, dining room and living room on the first floor. On the ground/Entrance floor you have a TV room, fully equipped bathroom with washer and dryer and a bedroom with 4 bunk beds. Outside you have a courtyard with barbecue and great outdoor wining and dining. The property is full of original Icelandic art by many of Iceland's most promising artists however ultimately its all about the surrounding mountains, the ocean and becoming one with nature.
Hvammsvik Estate consists of several old farm buildings and a large barn that have been newly renovated to meet all modern needs while still keeping the integrity and rustic charm of its origin. One of the unique elements of Hvammsvik Estate is that it is entirely self sufficient both for its hot and cold water both of which are sourced within the Estate. There is a Geothermal hot spring at the oceans edge which is available to our guests and the same well provides all the hot water for the property. As Hvammsvik is a private gated estate you can walk around for hours in total privacy and emerge yourself with nature enjoying the peacefulness of the ocean and the surrounding mountains.
There are over 30 different types of birds in and around Hvammsvik. Wild sheep roam around and if you are lucky you can spot the Arctic Fox roaming around. The Arctic Fox is a small and completely harmless Fox that changes colors with the seasons. There are also a lot of mussels around the islands on the property that are accessible in low tide and are delicious to cook. The season for picking fresh Mussels is September through December. We also highly recommend that our guests visit the newly opened Hvammsvik Hot Springs on the estate where you can enjoy eight hot springs that linger on the edge of the ocean. At the hot springs you can also enjoy great small dishes and a delicious fish soup from our bistro, Stormur.
Hvammsvik is a historical landmark that was first discovered by the Vikings
1000 years ago as is recorded in Landnáma, the Icelandic book of settlers
dating back to the 11th century. No wonder they choose Hvammsvik given its
incredible landscape, natural harbor, geothermal hot spring and
wildlife. The Vikings are not the only ones who fell for the natural
beauty of Hvammvik. Several scenes in Game of Thrones where also shot on
the property highlighting the incredible landscape all around the Fjord.
During World War II Hvammsvik was taken over by the allied forces as
their Naval Headquarters in Iceland. At its peak there where almost
40.000 soldiers in Whale Fjord and over 200 ships. During the War
Hvammsvik was code named "Falcon Crest" and "Falcon Beach" in order not to
reveal its true location hence the name of one of our Lodges. When
Churchill came to Iceland on August 16th 1941 he is said to have met with
F.D Roosevelt Junior in the Lodge on the top of the hill which at the
time was the Naval Communication center for all the ships in Whale
Fjord.
Along with Icelandic tradition Hvammsvik has its share of Trolls and
Elf stories. Many whom are said to be residing in famous rocks and the
hillsides of the property. One of the best know Elf "castle" in Iceland
is "Steðji" or Staupasteinn. There is also said to be an Elf Church and
Elf Queen residing in the hill side right next to the Lodges so dont be
surprised if you witness outer worldly creatures of all sizes at dawn.
