Experience the sound of the surf up close, marvel at the fantastic, blood-red sunsets, experience roaring winter storms or the calm and glassy sea directly from the living room. On what is probably one of Borhaug's most popular plots, the house was first let by come2norway on 01.07.2020. The terrace with sea view, a great kitchen, the tasteful furnishings, 2 bathrooms with walk-in shower and much more is ready for you in your dream property. The unobstructed view of the coast 10 meters away and the directly adjacent harbour with boat mooring in the background guarantee you a brilliant vacation experience around the clock that is second to none. The large panoramic windows face south, from where you can watch the calm, glassy sea or, depending on the season, the violent storms and roaring surf up close. Relax, because the unobstructable view and the unique location directly by the sea are a remarkable highlight of this property.
This superbly designed house, which is spread over 2 levels, is sure to meet your every need. With a large, open living area and the open kitchen with fridge-freezer, free, fast fiber optic Internet WLAN and Smart TV, 5 bedrooms with a total of 8-9 beds, 2 bathrooms with shower and toilet, the vacation home is particularly suitable for larger families and nice fishing groups. On the first floor there is a separate area for our guests with access to the harbor, as well as a laundry room and hallway area with a large freezer / chest for fish, plenty of space for your fishing equipment and fishing clothes.
Directly behind the house is the harbor with boat mooring. Next to the house is an identical property Lista Maritim 2, as well as no. 5 and 6, which are also rented out by us. In 350 meters you will find a well-stocked supermarket with groceries and fresh baked goods, some fishing equipment and almost everything you need for daily life. We believe that here in Borhaug you can fish in some of the best fishing grounds in the south, and the chic furnishings of the property are certainly second to none. We ourselves spend our vacations in Borhaug several times and in every season and fish with great success on the offshore coast and on the plateaus (Listaplateau, soccer field, Jölle, Rauna, see our pictures). Recommended journey - ferries:
From Hirtshals (DK) to Kristiansand or Stavanger (N). We are happy to help you choose the cheapest ferries ( or ) and book them reliably on request. The journey time to the properties in the Lista region is approx. 1 hour 45 minutes. The long-distance buses travel directly to Lyngdal from Kristiansand or Stavanger.

For the best fishing spots in the offshore waters (Plateau 'Jölle' in Listafjorden, known as the soccer pitch, and Plateau 'Rauna' near the shipwrecks between Farsund and Borhaug) you will receive a sketch from us after booking. Excellent cod, pollack, coalfish and ling, lump as well as smaller halibut of 10-20 kg and lots of mackerel are regularly brought in from the offshore banks and plateaus. Even large halibut in the 80-kilo class have been caught.
The fishing spots are littered with wrecks that sank before the lighthouse was built at the turn of the century. An insider tip is a wreck near Lista Fyr at a depth of 67 meters, where handsome ling, sometimes also large cod and good pollack cavort. At and around the 'Pollackberg' in the Listafjorden at a depth of 70 meters with its occurrence, strong sea fish, especially pollack, are regularly hooked, as our pictures prove. Ling, pollack and good cod can also be found directly south of the lighthouse, from 45 to 80 meters water depth, at the break-off noses.
But: Keep your boats away from the shore of the lighthouse. There are huge rocks under the surface of the water in front of the shore, and a wave or strong swell would smash your boat on the underwater obstacles.
The Rauna Plateau further to the east, with its sandy trenches and elevations at a depth of 117 m, is also known for its exceptional and very large cod, coalfish and lingfish. The trenches around the plateau are very deep and have yielded huge lingcod and beautiful halibut.
The beaches and piers near Borhaugs offer good opportunities for surf fishing for sea trout, turbot and other flatfish species, especially in spring and early summer. Good specimens are regularly caught on the shallow beaches near the trotting track, Osthasselstrand, Nordhasselstrand and Bausje.
In the outer harbor of Borhaug, from the pier next to the harbor entrance to the sea, there are always plenty of flounder and plaice caught from the shore. This is a good alternative when the north-westerly wind is blowing and you can't go out.
It should be particularly emphasized that the owners in this area take exemplary care of their guests. don't worry, even on the large boats you will receive detailed instruction and driving practice until you are really confident in handling the watercraft.
Please bear in mind that you are fishing here on the open sea, in one of the best fishing areas in southern Norway with a great variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Your trips out to sea should always be well planned and considered. Check the online weather app several times a day for wind and wave height and don't risk your life for a fish. Your children will be happy when you return home safe and sound.











Fishing in the Eidsfjord near Varnes
The fishing area is located directly in front of the Eidsfjord with its two small skerries in the middle of the fjord, with very good spots for pollack, cod and coalfish. The sandy bottom promises good catches of cod, ling and flatfish. Fishing in the fjord is possible every day. We have often fished in the Eidsfjorden, including at the fjord entrances to the green cliffs with their steep, step-like drop-offs and great depths, in the Stolsfjorden opposite or in the direction of Cape Varnes with its famous pollack spots. There, at Cape Varnes, please fish at a safe distance from the steep banks. The pollack are abundant there among the underwater plants at shallow depths. Do not enter the small bays and harbors, beware of shallows.
In Eidsfjorden itself there are always cod, coalfish, pollack, ling, mackerel in summer, and occasionally salmon and sea trout when trolling. Flounder and plaice like to be found on sandy bottoms. This alternative is ideal in north-westerly winds when you can't go out. In easterly winds, trips are almost always possible. Please bear in mind that you are fishing here in the fjord just before the open sea, probably the best fishing area in southern Norway with a great variety of species and amazing fish sizes. Therefore, your trips should be well planned and considered.
Please check the wind and wave height several times a day on and (click link)

Hobby anglers get their money's worth at Eisdfjorden. Lots of pollack, coalfish and cod in impressive sizes, plenty of mackerel and other sea fish are on the fishing plan. Fancy some crabs?

Follow the advice of the experienced owners and locals and never go out to sea in unsafe weather.

Finally, what can we say about the beautiful Lista region?
It is fascinating to see how the sea changes with the wind, sun and weather and how the play of light transforms the landscape. The Norwegians call it the miniature version of Norway, because all the country's typical cultural and natural elements come together here. Many believe that the Lista region will soon overtake the Lofoten Islands. This is because Norwegians love extreme challenges when it comes to hiking and sporting activities and, in winter, extreme weather with snow and violent storms that are a real spectacle of nature. This is what the Lista region has to offer.
Riding opportunities, an alpaca farm, soccer and volleyball pitches, probably the best outdoor skating track, a large go-kart track on the Lista Fly Plass, a fitness studio with solarium - Borhaug offers its guests all of this to pass the time. A visit to the Lista lighthouse and the rustic stone fields is an absolute must.
In windy or bad fishing weather, head to the coast at Jölle and Snekkestö. If you walk along the shores after a storm, you will find many ancient and maritime objects that the sea has washed up from great depths. Develop a passion for collecting and turn your finds into great eye-catchers for your home. Visit the hidden mountain lakes in the hinterland and spend a lovely day swimming there in summer. Even in Norway, the water can be up to 20 degrees in shallow areas.
Experienced hikers will want to conquer the existing and well-signposted hiking trails (over 200 km in total).
Let yourself be challenged and get active... We wish you lots of fun.
