The Karlsstadir Farm.

Djupivogur, Iceland

Property Description

The Karlsstadir farm extends from the coast to mountain tops at the northern shore of Berufjordur in Djupavogshreppur.

The farm is 135 ha, of which 25 ha are cultivated hay and vegetables fields. Additionally, 400 ha of land belong jointly to Karlsstadir and two neighboring farms, including a part of Krossdalur.

The co-owned land is used for grazing and has good opportunities for ptarmigan hunting. The farm has income from reindeer hunting permits. Karlsstadir farm is a habitual residence with vegetable farming, food production, and active restaurant and accommodation services.

All properties on the farm have been extensively renovated in the last 5 years.

The farm has a certification for organic agriculture and processing from TÚN Vottunarstofa (an independent conformity assessment body working with the Ministry for Industry and Innovation).

The Karlsstadir coast line has rich bird life, including growing eider duck nesting. The coastline provides opportunities for docking boats.

A “forestry contract” is in place with the Icelandic Forest Service under the National Forestry Programme.

Fiber optic cable connection to the farm is scheduled in 2019.

An expanded connection to the National Power Grid was recently installed.

In summary, Karlsstadir farm offers many opportunities for tourism, farming, food production and residency in a spectacular natural setting in the Icelnadic East Fjords.
