ÁS, LEIRÁR- OG MELASVEIT, BORGARFJARDARSÝSLA, ICELAND; A farm on 100 hectare land at the seaside in a peaceful nature 45 minutes drive from Reykjavik. Up to 1923 were three farms on the land and since then only one mainly working at market gardening and with a few sheep. The buildings are; A rebuilt villa on 2 storeys, an old farm house in good condition, a cowshed converted for sheep, a stable and a barn, a storage for gardening harvest and a greenhouse.
Since the collapse of the economy in Iceland, and great potential for capital growth as prices have fallen, this presents an excellent opportunity for foreign investors. Those buying in EURO, USD or GBP gain from the strength against the Icelandic krona as well as discounts on the price of property – but only for a limited time.

Many historical, famous and beatuiful places are in the neighbourhood.

Not far, at Borg á Mýrum lived in the years 910-990 our old Icelandic SAGAS hero, Egill Skallagrímsson, a viking poet and a long living fighter.

In the neighbourhood lived in the years 1178-1241 our old SAGAS poet and a politician, Snorri Sturluson in Reykholti Borgarfirdi and wrote the famous old Icelandic SAGAS HEIMSKRINGLA, EDDA and EGILS SAGA about Egill Skallagrímsson.

In this area you can travel around and live through the centuries.........

.... ideal to let the other house to tourists and holidaymakers.

HERE YOU SURE CAN ENJOY THE NORTHERN LIGHTS - ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS ON

AURORA BOREALIS - NORTHERN LIGHTS
OVER ICELAND
The northern lights are a spectacular natural colour display of light in the dark night sky, in relatively high latitudes near and in the polar zones. They occur in the in the ionosphere 100-250 km above the earth's surface, where the solar winds bring gas of free electron and positive ions. This wind hits the earth's athmospheric shield with a velocity of about 400 km/s with a density of about 5 ions/cc, and magnetic field intensity of about 2-5 nT (nanoteslas). Magnetic storms can develope much faster flows and the IMF (interplanetary magnetic field) may also be much stronger.

Aurora was a Roman godess of dawn and the Greeks called the north wind boreas. The colour of the northern lights usually is green, but sometimes shows faint red like sunrise from a strange direction. The Cree nation in North America call this natural phenomenon "The dance of the Spirits".

Iceland is ideally located for those who are interested in watching this unforgettable colour display in the night sky beween the end of August and mid April each year. The country is in the middle of the most active zone of the northern hemisphere. To enjoy this properly, people have to get away from the light pollution of inhabited areas, preferably to totally dark surroundings. Usually they are within short reach of towns and villages.
