House with long shoreline to Randsfjorden near Dokka

About this house

About 8 km south of Dokka centre, this detached house from 1951 lies in a rural, secluded setting on the west side of Randsfjorden. The 7,592 m² plot has a long shoreline to the fjord, with views over Randsfjorden and the surrounding farmland, and good options for swimming, fishing and boating. Fjordheim, with a bathing spot, small-boat harbour and community hall, is a short distance away, as is the Dokka Delta nature reserve.

The house has 107 m² of internal floor space with 4 rooms and 2 bedrooms. It has been used as a holiday home since 2004 and there is no residency requirement. The asking price is 990,000 NOK.

The broker notes neglected maintenance and a need for refurbishment, and the energy label is G, so budget for insulation, heating and general renovation.

Buying in Norway: on top of the asking price the buyer pays document duty and registration fees, which the broker lists in the sales prospectus, and the sale normally runs through a bidding round handled by the broker. Foreign buyers can purchase property in Norway. Norwegian banks can lend to non-residents but usually ask for a larger deposit, so it pays to arrange financing before bidding. Some rural properties carry concession or residence rules, so check the prospectus and ask the broker.
