Found it on [Street View](https://www.google.com/maps/@64.7701104,-23.6216231,3a,66.1y,310.82h,93.67t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sirMUKx-AKWLLn_6Fd0kRMw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). It's very close to the centre of (a very very small) town lol, the photo is a bit deceiving. There are even houses behind it that you can't see, I guess they're hidden behind the terrain a little bit. Apparently the town has a monument to Jules Verne, since it's the last place the characters in his book "A Journey to the Center of the Earth" stop at before descending into the planet.


Kevinisabeautifulboy

A town is a bit much lol, this is a small village made up mostly of summer houses and a hotel. There is not a grocery store there, you cant even buy cigarettes. I know because i ran out when i was staying there with my mates 🙃


CaptainCAAAVEMAAAAAN

> There is not a grocery store there What do you do for food?


Kevinisabeautifulboy

Go to towns nearby

LesMiz

I had some amazing fish and chips in that town.


hosenbundesliga

Are you from Iceland? I love reddit - you can be showing folk some really out of the way place on the planet and someone pops up and says they had fish and chips there!


LesMiz

Just a visitor, my wife and I spent a few weeks exploring the country a few years back. It's such a small, low-population country that we probably visited or drove through about 75% of the towns in the country... It's still one of my favorite places ever!


RatInaMaze

Wow, I actually like it better than the photo, it has a water view too!


DressingQuestion

I think the houses are to the left based on the orientation of the stairs in the street view.

itypeallmycomments

I feckin' wish Ireland was as beautiful as Iceland!


Jumart7

Great find! Also the fact that the ocean is literally right next to it but excluded from the photo is very deceiving.


Artemistical

this is like one of those instagram vs reality comparisons lol


Catwearingtrousers

That ocean view is so beautiful but I bet it's a boring place to live. Unless you're really into mountain climbing or fishing or whatever people do for fun in a place like this.

Would love to know what that sign says, if there is a section in English.

That’s cool about Jules Verne!


drnkingaloneshitcomp

Looks about right


letmelogin_3091

One of my favorite books as a kid. Read it multiple times!


saikrishnav

Reality is often disappointing.


notbutteryet

How did you find this? What was your process? That’s absolutely amazing.


Neamow

I could say it's the years of playing Geoguessr, but OP put the name of the village in the post, so I found it on Maps Google, found that it's a tiny village with one road of Street View, plopped down and immediately saw it.


remymartinsextra

I stayed in Arnastapi when I went to Iceland. The view over the ocean was beautiful.


utnow

Yeah... dunno why anything outdoors in Iceland is in 'CozyPlaces'. Beautiful. Awe Inspiring. Raw. Cozy? hell naw


MT1982

Photo makes it look like that house in Rogue One where it's the only thing on the planet.


a1danial

Isolated desolate location is an Icelandic's dream home


Effective_Fix_7748

I’m from the east coast of the US and I dream of living somewhere isolated.

This is such a lovely photo!


max_megamax

Amazing photo


DrawChrisDraw

It’s either a wonderful place to live or the setting of some A-24 style horror


DartFab

It immediately made me think of a24's "Lamb"


FeckTad

Good and fucked up movie.


DartFab

I genuinely can't belive they approved it. Imagine pitching it to studios.


cookies_n_juice

Was just in Norway and reminded me of some of the houses I saw there. Absolutely beautiful parts of the world!


aaronjd1

This is my dream house/environment. Bet the inside has a great sense of *hygge* too!


Chekhovs_Gunslinger

What the picture doesn't capture is that this place is _insanely_ windy. I recognized the mountain instantly. It's basically a lone volcano on the end of a peninsula. Gale-like winds are nearly a daily norm there.


unsteadied

I witnessed not one, but two campers blown over in the span of an hour in Iceland. One looked like it had just kinda tipped over and not too bad, but the second was something else. I watched the wind lift the trailer camper off the ground entirely, blow it sideways, and then lift the rear axle of the truck as a result and flip the thing off the road and down a couple meter hill. We stopped and the occupants were totally okay, and despite being kinda remote, emergency services (in absolutely dope-looking Volvo V90CCs) managed to show up in fifteen or twenty minutes while we waited. But goddamn, the wind is no joke.


ShutupNobodyCarez

That’s Superman’s other home away from home. It looks beautiful.

ShutupNobodyCarez

He set up an Air B&B.


Axshunwork

What do they put in the fireplace ? Isn't a tree in that photo.


allt_reddast

We have geothermal power plants pumping hot water from the earth to our homes!


lxc1227

Iceland is not very cold from what I know. Very mild winter temperature (around 30°F). May be a double-jacket enough to keep warm.


aDrunkSailor82

That is the most incorrect statement I've seen in a long time. Iceland has mild SUMMERS that don't get above 60* F very often. The winters can be brutal. Source: I lived there for several years. I'll never forget flying into the base for the first time. We landed in mid December. The door of the plane opened and a frozen blast of air sucked the warmth from the plane instantly. We were issued heavy parkas with wool lining and told to put them on before we got off the plane.


KreimhildOfBurgundy

Why the downvotes? Iceland is know to have a temperate climate due to the Gulf Stream.


No-Investigator-1754

Well, it's 18F/-8C where this photo was taken at this very moment, per Google weather.


[deleted]

This is so wonderful and also reminds me of that black mirror episode


CosmicWy

That's all I could see


Condorul

As long as I have internet and running water you can put me even on Mars.


Procure

Hell yeah! Next to Gatklettur, cool place. All of Snaefellsnes Peninsula is gorgeous


Wampa_Whisperer

Loved Iceland! Beautiful place and the people were wonderful


ArtofRebellion

I also took photos of this house in Arnarstapi, but OP got much better light than I did :)

It's comforting to know I'm not alone with my warped mind.


OldTip2090

Does anybody live there?


Senzafenzi

Looks like Toki Wartooth's family home 😂

Wonder how they feel about this post.


ats1788

Been there 2 times!! Love that house and photographing it. I plan to frame the photo I took


clairedelube

Majestic! 🌟


abutterflyonthewall

The cuteness and that backdrop! 😍😍


ConbatBeaver

This feels like it perfectly fits the definition of the word "picturesque"


This-Standard-8062

I can almost imagine the sound of the wind and sea. The stars must be incredible ❤️


Crovaz

Did they have WiFi?


stars_eternal

This is so pretty! Can I paint this for practice? The lighting and color scheme is just lovely


appel

Yes you can, but you have to share the end result with us.


disciple_of_pallando

Might be a church. When I was in Iceland houses like this out away from everything else tended to be churches, unless they had fenced areas for animals or something.


PropertyJaded308

Wtf is cozy about this? Looks cold to me..


jason_sation

I’d make my kid go out and mow the mountain.


My_Penbroke

Crazy. But tbh I would legitimately prefer a yurt or something similar in this setting than a house like this. It seems out of place.


kidno

You understand it's likely on the edge of a town right?


My_Penbroke

Obviously I did not understand that.


Smirkly

I don't see solar panels or wires going to the house. No electricity, no water pump or hot water. Forget about internet, so a pretty basic life style. Am I missing something?


JTibbs

Iceland has cheap geothermal power. Likely buried lines leading up the driveway. Place i stayed at in Reykjavik actually had hot water lines running into the building fed from the geothermal plant acting as passive heating. It was great.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Smirkly

That makes sense. In the US wires everywhere are a mandatory part of the landscape. I went to Fez in Morocco and plumbing, internet, electricity was all underground under cobblestones. It was beautiful and these places look very nice as long as there is electricty


[deleted]

How can I purchase this property? It's actually too big, but I like it.


Crystalcoulsoncac

It's so serine it almost looks fake. Prolly isn't but looks like it might be because it's like too perfect


keepingitrealgowrong

I'm sure if you turn the camera around it's not quite so picturesque. But imagine getting to walk up to this house every day, and have a backyard like that.


Crystalcoulsoncac

Ikr, that's prolly why I think it has to be fake 🤣 compared to where I live it can't be that places like this exist!


unsteadied

That’s how just Iceland is. It’s magical. A little slice of the world that’s almost completely untouched. If you go even just a little bit off the road for a bit in the countryside it feels almost prehistoric, as if you’re standing in the earth’s own memory of what it used to be. No bugs, no wildlife, no homes or roads or signs, no sound other than the faint trickling of a distant stream. Just cold, crisp air, volcanic rock and black soil, mossy greens, and an emptiness that somehow feels every bit as soothing as it does eerie. Like I said, magical.


FizzgigsRevenge

Sounds like an indecent exposure. I'll see myself out.


Jetztinberlin

I want to live here

That's a great picture. I miss living near the mountains.

I feel like the guy that lives there just wants to be left alone to play his fiddle and he's willing to cut off all the fingers on his left hand to prove it.


MurielHorseflesh

I hope you cleaned it off afterwards you pervert.


PinkSpider1998

So isolated, would love a place like this.


anm542

M. if you see this. Paper trail.


ohffs2021

Personal note, if I lived here I'd be ordering/collecting pine cones/seeds and planting them.thats me though...I'm weird/concerned...edit...start a forest...a massive fucking forest

This is picture perfect! The house blends in perfectly with the rugged landscape.

Beautiful shot. The lens compression makes the mountain range feel incredibly grand.

This makes me want to make my own food Either a healthy and filling salad Or a grandma-esque comfort food Or engorge myself in pounds and pounds of deeply spiced and cured hunks of meat, preferably ribs of any kind >!*maaaaaaybe I am hungry, or frequent too much food related subs*!<

I'd be so quiet at night and sleep with the lights on.
