    Description

    I am a single mom of 3 living in one of the worlds most beautiful place, Engeløya in Steigen in north Norway. Just Google it …. then you see ;-). It's only me and my youngest son (8y) living here now, the other two have left the nest for study.
    We live in a very big and old house. The house and the garden need more love, attention and work then I have time for ( and knowledge).
    We have a good place, so to get some privacy will not be a problem. I also have an extra car so to go around to explore the amazing island and Steigen will be no problem.
    If you like the outdoors…. We are the place 😊

    First and last you will get to live, relax and do a little work in a unique place that very few know about. And you will get to know us and become a part of our family. We have a very welcoming community. Small community far away from all stress. But dont worry, we are not that far from service and shops, about 10-20 minutes drive :-)
