THE MAIN HOUSE

The farm house was built in the late fifties and maintains the classic appearance of the houses built in that era with a large kitchen/dining room which was the heart, soul and meeting place of the whole family in those days and many bedrooms of varying sizes. Another classic part of the architecture of these mid twentieth century farm houses is the large entry way used in the preparation of foods for storage and many other tasks. As with most farmhouses in Iceland, the exterior is white washed and covered with a bright red roof, the traditional color of an Icelandic farm, a tradition brought on by the fact that for decades those were the only two colors available at the coops around the country. Due to recent renovations the house is grey but there are plans to paint it white again in 2026 when the renovations are complete and the concrete covering has cured.
