This is a rare opportunity as a private residence, as an opportunity in tourism, as a horse farm . . . or simply as a farm . . . as its been since in the age of the vikings.

Sænautasel is an old farm on a very remote area in the highland of Iceland. This farm was the main model for the setting of the novel: Sjálfstætt fólk (e.

The hostess I interviewed speaks Icelandic but you can read about the farm on the webpage.
