Arctic farm for sale

(...sold...)

It`s been a while since I wrote in this blog. It`s because things didn`t come out as we wanted. Now we are going to move away from this Arctic dreamland. Not because we want to, but because we have to (due to family reasons).
So, we need to go to the south of Norway. To a completely different climate. To an area where there`s no need to pull up an outdoor wall against the cold, eastern wind. Where there`s no challenge to make the potatoes grow. And there`s no snow during the national day, the 17. of may. It`s no joke. I will miss it.
The distance between the beach and the mountain is just a few, hundred metres. So, we got i all, here. I have lived here for 20 years. After so many years, the climate and the seasons became part of my blood.
And the people. One afternoon an old lady was hitchiking along the road. You will almost never see old ladies hitchiking in the south. But you find them here. Things are so much more simple here. You help people. And people help you. That`s not necessarily the way in the south.

And worst of all. We need to move from our farm. With the most spectacular view of the Varanger fjord. With all its seabirds. You can watch whales and dolphins. It`s full of all kinds of fish, not to forget the wild salmons that you are allowed to catch from the seashore of the farm.
In just one day you can catch all the fish you need for a year.
We had so many plans for this farm. So, we hope that someone else can continue what we started.
Those who take over will receive quite a lot;
-40 acres of land with a great variety of Arctic plants.
-Two houses, one of them a fantastic thimber house from the 1700.
-A barn and stable
-A sauna, garage, ability to smoke salmon, potatofield, strawberryfield, chickenhouse, and a long, fine, private beach
-Access to fine fishingareas, ability to catch wild salmon, close access to hunting, fishing and berries in the mountain, ability to fetch firewood just above the farm
-You can use the farm into ecological tourism or just as a place to live with lots of space.
-You can have horses, sheeps, chickens and other animals as a hobby.
-You can also buy a tractor, all the equipment you need to run the farm, a fine, wooden boat with an engine, salmonnet and other fishequipment and lots of other equipment and materials.

If youre interested, you can watch more in my Norwegian blog, you can see more pictures of the farm in my photoalbum, you can watch a panoramapicture in my photosynth, see more information at the webpage finn.no (Norwegian language), see the Google map of the area, or make direct contact with the salesman; vza@advokathuset-vadso.no tlf. (+47)78941400.

We have known for about a year that this might happen. And it seems like it is the end of this blog, since my thoughts will no longer come from Varanger.
But hope to see someone taking over.
