Location
After almost 2 years of searching for the right property we found it.
Most of all because of the views and surroundings:
- A hill-slope overlooking the Hvalfjörður fjord (whale fjord)
- 40% coverage with native birch trees, allowing to hide buildings all around the property. For instance, the hot springs facility building with not be seen (or at most part of its green roof) from the hotel. The different hot spring pools can all have an infinity edge yet not ‘see’ each other (when in the pool). The 20-25 cabins (dispered over 8-9 hectares) we plan in a later stage will mostly be hidden from each other and all have a fantastic view.
- Close to Iceland’s most spectacular Glymur waterfall. At 198 m. (600 ft.) the highest waterfall of Iceland (that is accessible without a helicopter).
- There is geothermal water below our land (according to the experts) providing us with endless heating of the building, pools and sidewalks (want to keep them free of snow).
- Good paved road all the way to the property (former national road).
Ask us for latest Google Earth KMZ file - A less than 3 km. drive to the public parking lot to start the hike to the Glymur waterfall. From the parking lot it’s a 3 km. hike.
- A lovely small creek next to the property, a bigger one 240 m. away with great potential for small hydropower plant (100-150 KVA).
