The Ancestral Barnin Mosfellsbær, South West Iceland, Iceland

Set on an ancestral farm, the barn offers a quiet retreat surrounded by mountains, open landscapes, and a nearby river. Originally built by the owner’s parents, the property has been carefully restored to honour its heritage while creating a comfortable space for modern stays.

The villa combines two distinct spaces: a rebuilt sheep house that now serves as the main residence, and the original barn, which has been transformed into a dedicated game and activity space. Together, they create a balance between relaxed living and informal entertainment.

Interiors are designed with natural and raw materials, blending warmth with subtle rustic elements. A preserved original wall stands as a focal point in the living area, while personal family artwork adds character throughout. The main house features a fully equipped kitchen and a cosy living space centred around a panoramic window overlooking the surrounding landscape.

There are four spacious bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and flexible king or twin bed configurations. Across the courtyard, the separate game barn includes a pool table and table tennis, a small gym, a climbing wall, and relaxed lounge areas.

With 220 sqm of living space and an additional 100 sqm dedicated to the game barn, the property offers both privacy and space to unwind, all while remaining within reach of the nearest city.
