Reveskogen

The area is close to Sundre, a village with schools, shops, and other services.

Here, you can step outside, strap on your skis, and head straight up to the mountain. After dinner, for instance. You can leave your bike muddy and unlocked by the house, ready for thrilling rides down winding forest trails and hidden gravel paths. Or you can sit at your doorstep with a cup of coffee, listening to the whisper of the treetops, the birds singing, and the river’s gentle gurgling. It’s a place to let your mind wander and feel your pulse slow down.

Not only can you grow your own produce in your greenhouse, but within walking distance is Ål Market Garden, where you can become a shareholder and cultivate your own vegetables. In the forest surrounding the community, you can forage berries, herbs and mushrooms. There are plenty of opportunities for super healthy, locally sourced, affordable — or flat out free — food.

Those who choose to live in Reveskogen will have the chance to help further develop the project. From day one, you can be involved in shaping what the smallholding community will include and how it can benefit the residents and the people of Ål.

Social sustainability is key in Reveskogen, with a goal of fostering a living environment based on sharing and community. This includes shared spaces, car-sharing, and a communal sauna. At the same time, everyone will have their own private zones where they can retreat when needed. There’s no pressure to be social, even though you’re living in a communal setting.

At the entrance to Reveskogen, there is a well-preserved tool shed with great potential to become the neighborhood’s shared space. This building could serve many purposes, such as a community center, woodworking workshop, brewing house with a large kitchen, event venue, stage, guest apartment, bakery, sauna, or local store. The only limit is your imagination, and all residents will have the opportunity to contribute ideas and make the most of this space.
