About the project
Mikkelstjenn Økogrend is an initiative designed to foster harmonious living with our environment, grounded in strong sustainability and a meaningful increase in self-sufficiency. This modern eco-hamlet consists of twenty freehold housing plots, each with an environmentally friendly infrastructure, alongside opportunities for collaboration with Evje Gård.
The local community offers numerous possibilities for creative collaboration and business ventures. Whether you are a remote worker, a commuter, aspiring to run your own business, or dreaming of small-scale farm life, Mikkelstjenn provides the ideal environment to make those aspirations a reality.
Location
Just under two hours Northwest of Oslo, Norway, Mikkelstjenn Økogrend is idyllically situated in the forest valley of Sigdal County. The hamlet has beautiful views of Lake Soneren and the majestic mountain, Andersnatten. Close to Norefjell mountain range and Trillemarka Nature reserve there is ample opportunity to go hiking, fishing, kayaking, skiing, or just relax on the beaches nearby.
Plots
Keeping climate-neutrality and sustainability in mind, plot owners may design and build their own homes.
If you desire, we can recommend the services of our consultants Rolf Jacobsen from Gaia Arkitektene (rolf@gaiaarkitekter.no) and Bjørn Olav Leer from Lyhytta. They have comprehensive and extensive experience in designing Co2 neutral housing solutions, such as natural ventilation for an optimal indoor climate and solar production of energy for electricity and heating.
