A farmhouse built in 1950 has come to market in Norway’s Lofoten Islands, along with a white-sand beach just 20 metres from the garden. Kjerkveien 35 is in Flakstad, on the island of Flakstadøya. The 173sqm house occupies a 2,903sqm plot, surrounded by fields with mountains rising behind them.

Artist Rachel Pohl and conservationist Charles Post found the house after moving to Norway from Montana, in the US. Inside, they painted the existing timber panelling white and furnished the rooms with pieces sourced from a local antique shop. Windows frame the fields and mountains from the living spaces, and a 57sqm terrace wraps around part of the house. In the garden, a freestanding timber sauna has a wood-burning stove and a large window facing the mountains.
Photographs capture the house across the seasons: deep snow around the white-painted exterior in winter, followed by green fields and wildflowers through the warmer months. The three-bedroom house is listed by PrivatMegleren Park for NOK 11 million (approximately US$1.18 million).
