Magical place at the lake with a 8000 m2 garden and 120 m beach/shoreline. Perfect for relaxing, boating and fishing.

At the lake there is a pavillion with a remarkable view where you can enjoy the sunset. A boat and canoe are available for free. It's a very private and quiet location, but still perfectly located in Ryfylke with all its breathtaking hikes nearby.

In 2020 the bathroom and hall was totally refurbished, and a fiberoptic cable was installed with a fast wifi-connection.

The space
Idyllic place at the lake with a lot of space (8000 m2) where the children can play games/football, swim in the lake, fish trouts, row the boat, paddle with the canoe or cayaks, pick fruit and berries.

At the lake there is a pavillion where you can enjoy a late snack and a glass of wine in the sunset, or stay dry in the rain. A boat and a canoe are available for free. Two kayaks and a boat engine can be rented.

The property lies only 8 km from Tau which is a small center in the community. Tau is connected to Stavanger by the world's longest undersea road tunnel, Ryfylketunnelen, which opened in 2019. The distance 8 km to Jørpeland as well, the main center in the municipality, and only 17 km from the property to Preikestolen parking area.

In other words this is a very private and quiet location, but still perfectly located in the middle of Ryfylke with all its breathtaking hikes close by. Only 2 km away the path to one of the most spectacular views in Ryfylke, Reinaknuten, starts.

The property are southward directed with a 120m shoreline with shallow water and beach which makes it very easy for small children to play and wade in the water. East side of the property there is a free area with a huge lawn and with a small river beside. Very children friendly area.
