Country house in Kragerø with beach and waterfall

Cozy skipper's house on Levanghalvøya with large outdoor area (10 acres) and long beach line. This is a country house with very special facilities: A waterfall flows through the plot where you can take the morning shower, beautiful outdoor areas, many private bathing areas, as well as a number of beds that provide room for several families to vacation together. This is a place with a lot of history in the walls: Both Christian and Oda Krogh have had it as a holiday resort and have painted many pictures from here of the coastal life at Kragerø. The space Bjelkevik is a unique place with many nice outdoor areas and several houses in addition to the main building. It is a short distance by boat to Kragerø city center (10 min) and a walk to Stabbestad where there is a restaurant and ice cream kiosk (40 min). In this cabin there is not a high standard of facilities that many are accustomed to. The cabin has running water from the Bjelkevik water which works fine for washing and cooking, but because we do not check the water quality, you get drinking water from the jetty in Kragerø or at Stabbestad. There is an outhouse/compost toilet in a building of older standard located 20 meters from the main house. It is a 10-minute walk on a path through the woods from the parking lot to the cabin, but if you have a lot of luggage you can be picked up by boat at Stabbestad/take a taxi boat. One must be aware that this is a cottage from 1850, and not a modern house. The cabin will be upgraded in the spring of 2024, but it will still bear the mark of being an older house. In addition to the main house, there are two annexes that can be used for accommodation, a playhouse, a workshop and a boathouse. There are several nice, private swimming areas on the property, a private jetty, and a beach for the little ones. Great fishing opportunities in salt and fresh water. Boat trips in Kragerøskjærgården is a nice activity. For an additional sum of NOK 1,500 it is possible to rent an older Askeladden with outboard motor (requires a boat license). In addition, there is a rowboat that you can use free of charge. In the main house there is a bathroom with shower and sink, and an outdoor shower at the basement entrance, as well as an outdoor toilet/compost toilet. This is for you who want a cabin atmosphere and do not expect hotel standards. In the basement, there is also a freezer, washing machine and dryer.

Other things to note This is a place for lazy days in beautiful surroundings, with a short distance to swimming and water games. Nice hiking trails run right behind the cabin, and many prefer a run to Rapentangen if the days get long. Kragerø's archipelago is nice to explore for those who are used to boats, or you can take the ferry from Stabbestad to Skåtøy or Jomfruland. On the plot there are plenty of blueberries, cherries, raspberries, pears and wild strawberries. The outdoor areas have several hammocks, a large jetty to sunbathe on, and a lot of space for outdoor activities for all ages. Pets are generally allowed, with the exception of cats due to allergies.
