A Small Farm with a Charming 1930s House in South East Norway for $208,000

Surrounded by forest and open farmland in Finsrud, this charming smallholding offers a secluded rural lifestyle in the heart of Eidskog municipality.

The property covers almost 90 hectares and includes a traditional farmhouse, a large barn and several useful outbuildings, with plenty of scope for keeping animals, growing crops or developing hobby projects.

Built in 1939, the farmhouse is arranged over two floors with an additional basement. The interior retains much of its original character, including wooden floors, painted solid-wood doors, paneled walls and a brick chimney serving several wood-burning stoves. Together, these features create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the home’s history.

The house contains three bedrooms and has been regularly maintained, with several improvements completed in recent years. The kitchen was renovated in 2024 and includes a wood-burning stove that adds both warmth and traditional charm. The bathroom was partially updated in 2022, while a new main entrance door and entrance terrace were added in 2025.

Although the property is full of character and has benefited from ongoing care, further work should be expected. In particular, the windows, roof and bathroom require upgrading, giving the next owner an opportunity to improve the house gradually and adapt it to their own preferences.

The farm occupies an owned plot of 89,765 square meters, consisting of fully cultivated land, productive woodland and other natural areas. Its east-facing, gently sloping position provides an open outlook across the surrounding countryside, while the forest creates a strong sense of privacy and shelter. To the northeast, the property borders directly on the Billa River.

Around the farmhouse, the established garden has been landscaped with lawns, ornamental shrubs, fruit trees and berry bushes. A greenhouse provides additional opportunities for growing vegetables and plants, while the graveled courtyard connects the home with the property’s various agricultural buildings.

A substantial barn offers a garage, generous storage areas and flexible space that could be used for animals, machinery, workshops or other practical purposes. Several additional outbuildings provide even more room for storage and hobbies, making the property particularly appealing to those with space-demanding interests or plans for a small-scale farming lifestyle.

Nature is an important part of everyday life here. The surrounding forests and agricultural landscape offer walking routes, fishing lakes and good hunting grounds throughout the year. The property also benefits from grazing, peat, firewood, fishing and hunting rights through Eidskog’s municipal forests, further expanding the possibilities for an active and self-sufficient rural life.

Despite its peaceful setting, everyday amenities are within driving distance. Skotterud, Eidskog’s municipal center, is about 13 kilometers away and offers shops, services, and other practical facilities.

With its extensive land, traditional farmhouse, and versatile outbuildings, this Finsrud smallholding offers an inviting opportunity for anyone seeking privacy, nature, and the freedom to create a personal country home. Whether used for livestock, cultivation, outdoor pursuits or simply a quieter way of life, the property offers space, character and considerable potential.
