Boen Gård’s buildings have been restored, but left in their original style, their exteriors displaying a decidedly agricultural side of Norwegian life.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
Cross-country ski trails and private fly-fishing beats wind through the quiet Agder countryside along the banks of the Tovdalselva River.
