About the Property
Set at the very mouth of the Langesund Fjord, between Helgeroa and Langesund, Store Arøya is one of the rarest private holdings on the Norwegian coast: an entire half-island of roughly 60 hectares, encircled by more than 2,000 metres of shoreline, white-sand beaches, sheltered harbours, and a constellation of surrounding islets and skerries.

Set at the very mouth of the Langesund Fjord, between Helgeroa and Langesund, Store Arøya is one of the rarest private holdings on the Norwegian coast: an entire half-island of roughly 60 hectares, encircled by more than 2,000 metres of shoreline, white-sand beaches, sheltered harbours, and a constellation of surrounding islets and skerries. This is a place of complete privacy and remarkable light — the archipelago is celebrated for its exceptional number of sun hours and its deep maritime history, reaching back to 1892. From Signalen, the island’s highest point, the view opens across the open Skagerrak to the south, toward Jomfruland, Stråholmen and the Kragerø archipelago to the west. The estate comprises six buildings: a spacious main residence, a historic barn over a century old, a seaside cabin, a guest annex and two boathouses, alongside expansive lawns, a football and volleyball pitch, and mature orchards of cherry, plum, apple and pear. Hunting rights for roe deer and hare, salmon and net-fishing rights, and private dockage complete an unrivalled setting for family life, recreation and generational legacy. Car-free and reached by private boat or seasonal ferry, Store Arøya offers total seclusion just 90 minutes from Oslo — with the added advantage of no property tax in Larvik municipality. Estates of this scale, character and coastline are offered to the market only once in a generation.
