«Bergens nest dyreste» solgt til utenlandsk kjøper: – Antageligvis feriebolig

In a significant real estate transaction, a large seaside property in Bergen has been sold to an overseas buyer for approximately 42 million kroner, following three previous price reductions. Bergen real estate agent Tom Jørgensen informed the Associated Press that the property was sold to an overseas buyer. According to the agent, the new owner does not intend to use the property as a permanent residence or for rent, but rather as a vacation home and for business purposes.

The approximately 600 square meter mansion, with its own pier, sauna, and 180 degree view of Nordåsvannet, was first attempted to be sold for 49 million kroner in late 2024. It was then taken off the market and put back on sale with the price reduced to 44.9 million kroner in June of the previous year, becoming Bergen's second most expensive property for sale.

The price was further reduced to 43.5 million kroner, and then to 42 million kroner earlier this year. Including the external usage area, the villa has a total usable area of 769 square meters, as per the Finn-advertisement. The property also includes five bedrooms with private bathrooms, multiple bathrooms, a study, gym room, bar, and billiards room, as well as annexes and a spacious year-round summer terrace, according to the information.

The land area is close to 2.5 acres, and the property is located near the popular Kyrkjetangen beach by Nordåsvannet, leading to the sea. As previously reported by E24, the real estate agent has previously sold the property twice before, first in 2020 for 41.5 million kroner, and then to the current owner for 42.5 million kroner in 2021.

In spring of the previous year, he was optimistic that the 44.9 million kroner price reduction would succeed. - We just need to find the right buyer, that's what it's about. It has been a bit longer between buyers than in 2021-22, but suddenly it's happening, said Jørgensen to E24 at the time. The buyer, renovation entrepreneur Frode Standahl, barely recovers the amount he himself offered in 2021.

Among properties that have been publicly for sale, only real estate entrepreneur Ståle Raa and Lill Maren Møgster's modern villa in Milde near Bergen Airport are more expensive. The property, which was completed in 2023, was initially listed for 128 million kroner over two years ago. The property remains for sale at the same price according to the announcement.

Raa and Møgster previously owned the now sold seaside property on Kyrkjetangen, which they sold to Standahl in 2021. Both also used Jørgensen as the real estate agent for the Milde property.
