Princess Märtha Louise Of Norway Sells Socal-Style Sanctuary Ahead Of First Wedding Anniversary on ONDA LA

Royal Real Estate Shake-Up in Norway with an LA Twist

Big news from across the pond, but with a vibe that feels straight outta the Hollywood Hills! Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, daughter of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, has officially sold her gorgeous Lommedalen home for a cool 19 million kroner - that’s about $1.86 million for us SoCal folks used to crazy property prices. According to TV 2 Norway, the deal is done, and a sweet family with kiddos is ready to move into this Scandinavian sanctuary.

Ståle Ask Helland, a broker with Sem & Johnsen Eiendomsmegling, spilled the tea to TV 2, saying both the buyer and seller are thrilled with the outcome. He kept it short and sweet, though, with no extra deets to share. But honestly, with a property this dreamy, who needs more hype? It’s giving major Malibu estate energy - close to nature, but not too far from the city buzz of Oslo.

A Home Full of Memories - Straight from the Princess’s Heart

Back in May, the Princess took to Instagram to announce the sale, and her post was pure emotion - think heartfelt Golden Globes acceptance speech vibes. She called the four-bedroom pad the ‘best place’ for her kids to grow up, a spot where they found peace and recharged amidst nature. From epic parties to deep meditations, this house saw it all, with Bærums Værk (a cute local spot near Lommedalen, kinda like our Venice Beach boardwalk) just around the corner.

She reminisced about family ski trips, hikes, and even the kids learning to ride at a nearby stable called Stall Eide. The nearby slalom slopes and golf course - complete with a killer sledding hill in winter - made it a playground for her fam. But as she put it, there’s a time for everything, and now she’s passing the torch to a new crew to make their own memories in this magical spot.

“This house has been our safe haven, a place of laughter and late-night chats - I can’t wait for a new family to feel that same warmth,” Princess Märtha Louise shared on social media.

Listing Love and a Royal Anniversary on the Horizon

Fast forward to August 3, and the Princess dropped another Insta update, revealing the house was back on the market and waiting for its next owners. Listed at 18 million kroner, she painted a picture of a home that thrives on kids’ laughter, game nights, and cozy family dinners - basically, the kinda place you’d expect a royal to host a star-studded SoCal summer bash. She even threw in heart emojis, hoping the right family would feel the same security she did.

Her husband, Shaman Durek Verrett, chimed in with a bittersweet comment on the post, saying he’d miss their ‘sanctuary.’ And speaking of Durek, this real estate milestone comes just in time for a bigger celebration - the couple’s first wedding anniversary on August 31, 2024. They tied the knot in the picturesque Geiranger, Norway, and now, with the house sold, it’s like they’re closing one chapter and starting a fresh one with some serious West Coast-style optimism.

So, while we’re not sipping cocktails at a red carpet after-party in Hollywood, this royal story still has all the drama and heart of an LA blockbuster. Here’s to new beginnings for Princess Märtha Louise, Durek, and the lucky family moving into a home that’s already got a legacy of love. Stay tuned for more updates on this royal duo - we’ve got a feeling their next move will be just as headline-worthy!
