$15K remote homestead: bridging inexpensive kit homes in Scandinavian Arctic

Been here so many times and think i've seen this house

I can't believe that's the arctic. If you weren't wearing sweaters I'd have thought it was the South Pacific.

Owners who use salvaged materials always have incredible eye for design. It amazes me what they come up with!

I love the beautiful roof on the old wooden home🩵✨

A small farmhouse on the sea... gorgeous!

cool place!

👍😇🏡🌲💲

The nature is why I moved from Oslo to North-Norway 17 years ago.
Havent regretted it once, and I'm not going back south.
Weather be damned, I wouldnt want to live anywhere else.
I know where this is too, my brother lives in Skulbru, gorgeous location!

What an abomination of a house. Imagine building this ugly box in such a beautiful place.

i'm so confused why they designed a kit-home, without a toilet?!
I guess 100 years ago, indoor toilets were just not a thing, even with all the fore-thought involved in the design of a kit-home.

No, no no no! Not a sign of poverty nor looked down on by neighbours! It is very common for old houses to have uninsolated attics with a insolated “room in the room” built whit-in it. Often in the 1950s. Peoples expectations shifted. Young people wanted a private space. If space was scarce it was solved by creating a room in the attic. My father grew up in a 1800- century building, sleeping in a room in the attic built in the 1950s. 👍

There is a lot to like in this video. A lot.

But I absolutely detest the square shapes, flat roof and alu sheeting on the addition. It mars the original buildings and the landscape. Good thing it was almost hidden behind the trees.

Beautiful

The location is stunning. Wondering what he does for a living, (if he still works), since it was mentioned that it's very remote. I'm curious as to why he simply didn't renovate and possibly expand the existing house instead of building the modern structure which seems so out of place.

love it

I would have knocked it all down recycled anything I could and strarted fresh but made it look like it was an old house for the charm element

This one was strange

Love this property!! ♥️

Nice

Is this your third video from Lofoten?

Ohhhh I wanted to see inside the barn! That was a tease. Great place though thanks

Look at the beautiful roof tiles 💕

Question to everyone who reads this: did you consent to being governed? I don't remember ever giving my consent.
And if it was ever mistaken i had, let it be known i have withdrawn any implied consent.

He's living the dream. There's surprisingly little info online about property prices in Lofoten. I've always dreamed of buying land there.

❤❤❤

The light! So beautiful.

I've watched your channel consistently for more than 5 years. This guys spirit is one of the best yet. Cheers.

what a dream ! I love what he has done and you can see he is an artist by the interiors, wonderful color and textures, beautiful living

can a usa persoin move there now?

His fit is amazing

I hadn't seen your content in a while and three minutes in I thought, "God, I love this channel." And I thought I should let you know. Stay great out here!

Beautiful place and very respectful and resourceful man. I hope one of your children continue on with your work when you two retire. Your body of work is tremendously good and inspiring. Ver grateful for these! Happy Valentine's Day, all!❤ 💘💌💐

im sorry but this is like slum living. very ugly, messy looking. the old looking house is nice from the outside at least.

Amazing video, all natural conversations and good questions. And also you can feel Kjetil' s joy when he talks about his house :)

Far too many jump cuts (editing) to view this segment. To the producer, please take videographer classes and editing 101. That way you will not make viewers sick with all of your jump cuts and work on more effective editing techniques in post-production.

The title is misleading. It makes you think that you can purchase a kit home for 15k today... not 100 years ago.

He might benefit from a wind break in front of his home. Though that would block the view

What on Earth has he done !
Right next to a beautiful house ( in a picturesque environment) he has put-up the ugliest square box - like something built in East Germany ( circa 1953 ) by a zealous Communist town-planner .

Would love to see what the community is like.

that's the only way to survive in a harsh environment like this

Fabulous house. The beam that was cut horizontally will be an issue with LA country

The new building may offend some..I think it is a perfect to compliment the original house…Frieda Karlo and her husband had adjoining buildings that served them individually and they also were connected by a bridge..a beautiful location open to the extreme elements..

Excellent summary of life before modern conveniences. Mirrors a lifestyle lost in time of my family's 1700s Cape Cod farm house off the coast of New England.

What an incredible place and respectful human being!

OMG I love this....these....house! Both are soooooo unique!

Wonderful property!

That couple was Unbelievably frugal, Norwegians are bloody tough people 💪🏻🦾

Another superb episode. What a beautiful home and man!

Stunning ❤

Can I come?

Amazing
