Property info

Kjarnholt Farmhouse by Náttúra Studio is a countryside guesthouse located in Biskupstungur, South Iceland, just over an hour from Reykjavík and only minutes from the Geysir area. Surrounded by open land, rivers, geothermal activity and panoramic views, Kjarnholt offers a slower and more grounded experience of Icelandic nature. The house sits within one of Iceland’s most unique landscapes, where changing weather, long daylight, silence and open space shape everyday life. Our aim is to create a place centered around natural wellbeing, rest, food, gathering and connection to the surrounding environment. Kjarnholt is a large Icelandic farmhouse originally built for two farming families in the 1950s. The house has been carefully preserved and renovated while maintaining the atmosphere and character of a traditional Icelandic countryside home. The guesthouse includes 10 individually designed bedrooms, communal dining areas, a bar, outdoor hot tub and shared living spaces overlooking the surrounding landscape. Next to the house stands the old stable building, now partially transformed into a large open gathering space used for dinners, workshops, social events and future studio activities.
