Hop on Bjork's Yacht and head over to southern Iceland to check out this wooden cottage from 1953. The New York Times highlights the 2,200 square foot home with an additional 10,280 square feet walled garden (complete with requisite hot tub — so Icelandic!). Like many homes in Iceland, the "heating and hot water are provided by natural hot springs and geysers..."
The home is on the Olfusa River in Selfoss, a 40-minute drive from Reyjavik and the owners are asking 60 million Icelandic kronur (about $469,815 US).
Check out the full listing and all the pictures from The New York Times: International Real Estate: For Sale In ... Iceland.

Wow, not a bad price (compared to what one gets in San Francisco). I wouldn't mind living in Iceland. Very nice.

I lived in Iceland for two years (during the 70's). Reyjavik is a beautiful city, much nicer than the naval base in Keflavik. The air is so clean but the weather can be harsh. Still, a nice cottage in Iceland sounds very appealing.

I wouldn't mind getting snowed in in this place.
