The Heart of Iceland

By the Shores of History

Illagil is situated directly adjacent to Þingvellir (Thingvellir), a rift valley separating two continents and the most significant historical site in Iceland.

The Location

Hestvík Cove & The Nesjavellir Route

The plots are situated at 64°09'03.6"N 21°15'03.6"W, just 30km from Reykjavík, accessible via the Nesjavallavirkjun road, a stunning drive through dramatic mountainous landscape before descending to the lake.

The area is covered with six-foot high birch woods and blueberry bushes, fenced off and undisturbed for two decades. The site offers a breathtaking view of Lake Þingvellir, along with easy access to launch boats from Hestvík Cove, and guaranteed boating rights.

Rare Buildability

The National Park strictly forbids new residential construction. These plots lie just outside that formal boundary, offering a rare legal exception to build a modern home in this protected landscape.
