This property is a 130 square meter house featuring three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen. It is situated in Helgafell, also known as the Holy Mountain, in western Iceland. The town of Stykkishólmur is located just 7 kilometers from the property, offering convenient access to amenities such as a supermarket, gas station, restaurants serving local cuisine, sea tours, an excellent swimming pool, and several museums.
Mount Helgafell, known as the "Holy Mountain," is a small but historically and culturally significant hill located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland. Rising to an elevation of 73 meters (240 feet), Helgafell is steeped in local lore and legend. The mountain was considered sacred by early settlers, and it features prominently in the Icelandic sagas, particularly the Laxdæla saga. Tradition holds that those who climb Helgafell in silence, without looking back or speaking, are granted three wishes. The summit offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, making it a popular destination for both its mystical heritage and natural beauty.
