A Three-Bedroom 18th-Century House in Central Norway – $177,000

Welcome to Tollefstugu, an extraordinary and rare property where history, character, and everyday comfort meet in perfect harmony.

Built in 1746, this is one of the oldest surviving houses in the historic area of Selsverket and one of the few buildings that remained standing after the great flood Storofsen in 1789. Owning this home means becoming a part of Norwegian cultural heritage.

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a residence with a genuine soul, a place where centuries-old craftsmanship blends beautifully with modern living.

The house spans two floors and offers approximately 126 square meters of internal living space. Inside, you are greeted by bright, inviting living areas, a spacious kitchen with room for dining, and three charming bedrooms with traditional timber walls that reflect the building’s long history.

Original details and materials give the home a warm, authentic atmosphere, while thoughtful updates ensure comfort for contemporary life. The balance between old and new makes Tollefstugu both a historical treasure and a functional family home.

The 713-square-meter plot is carefully landscaped and includes several valuable outbuildings, including a garage, a storehouse, and a greenhouse.

The garden offers a peaceful and private setting, ideal for relaxing, growing your own vegetables, or enjoying summer days in a culturally rich environment.

Selsverket is an area known for its strong cultural heritage and preserved historical buildings. At the same time, the location is highly practical: the center of Otta is just 3 kilometers away, with a walking and cycling path all the way. Here you will find shops, schools, kindergartens, and everyday services within easy reach.

The house is listed for sale at EiendomsMegler – photography by Ivar Flagestad.
