Modern Icelandic House in the Golden Circle

Set in the Selfoss area at the heart of South Iceland, this newly built five-bedroom retreat brings contemporary Icelandic design into close dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Expansive glazing captures wide views across Iceland’s open terrain, filling the interiors with natural light and creating a strong sense of connection to the dramatic setting throughout the changing seasons.

Designed to accommodate up to ten guests, the home combines generous proportions with a refined, understated aesthetic. High ceilings, warm timber finishes and sleek dark accents shape the principal living spaces, while large windows place the scenery at the centre of the experience. The open kitchen is anchored by a substantial marble island and equipped with high-quality appliances, creating an inviting setting for shared meals and relaxed gatherings.

Five well-appointed bedrooms provide comfortable private spaces, complemented by two full bathrooms and an additional half bathroom. The layout is particularly well suited to families, groups of friends or several couples travelling together, with ample room to gather without sacrificing privacy.

Outdoor living is a defining feature. A spacious wooden deck includes both a hot tub and a cold tub, offering an atmospheric place to unwind while taking in the surrounding Icelandic landscape. Outdoor seating, a barbecue and a dedicated grilling area further extend the living space outside. With access to the celebrated Golden Circle region, including Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, Brúarfoss and Kerið, the home provides a polished base for experiencing South Iceland in every season, amid remarkable scenery and shifting northern light.
