A unique combination of a renovated barn and a historic skipper's house from 1860 awaits you on Tromøya. Here you can experience the best of both worlds - the barn's magnificent rooms with their rough English style and the yellow skipper's house's intimate atmosphere.
The barn, which serves as the main house, impresses with its high ceilings and a large kitchen where a wood-burning stove creates warmth. The massive dining table seats 8 people and the spacious living room is adorned with sailboat models. Two bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft with a home theater complete the decor.
The 8-acre plot offers two manicured lawns perfect for play and relaxation. From the property you have direct access to hiking areas and can enjoy views of the surrounding countryside.
From this idyllic location, you can explore Raet National Park with its pebble beaches and crystal clear swimming coves. Take a refreshing morning swim at the pier just minutes away, or visit the tranquil sandy beaches of Hovekilen. Arendal town center and the historic island of Merdø are also worth a visit.

We're Margrethe and Jon, a couple from Oslo where I work as a lawyer and Jon as a civil engineer. This place on Tromøya is a cherished family heirloom that we have given our own English twist. We love to spend time here cooking in the spacious barn and cozying up in the intimate skipper house.
