Hi!
We live in a single family house at the countryside in Ölfus which is a municipality in the south site of Iceland.  Driving distance to Reykjavík is about 40 kilometers or about 35-40  minutes.  Driving distance from Keflavík airport is 90 kilometers or about 1 hour 20 minutes.  There are many popular tourist attractions within 1 hour reach of our house such as Þingvellir (40 minutes) and Geysir (50 minutes) so the location is ideal if you are planning some sightseeing or day trips.    
Our house is situated midway between two small towns called Selfoss and Hveragerði (5 minutes to Hveragerði and 12  minutes to Selfoss).  In both towns there are petrol stations, discount supermarkets, convenience stores, bakeries, restaurants, post offices, banks, health services, swimming pools, café´s etc. 
As our house is in the countryside the nature is just outside of the door.  The location is quite private as nearest house is about 1 km away, where Þorbjörg´s parents live. They are farmers and rent out summer houses.   
There is a small stream just 50 meters from the house and just next to it there are Icelandic sheep’s from the farm running wild, Icelandic horses and a lot of bird life in the wild nature.  At bright summer nights we often fall to sleep listening to the birds and the relaxing sound from the stream.  There is a small river also few hundred meters away from the house and the river runs through a rocky canyon with a lot of waterfalls, bird life and beautiful rocks.  It is ideal to take a walk through this canyon on a sunny day if you like hiking.   Also there are many opportunities to hiking just by walking out of the door as nearest mountain is just outside of the kitchen window and also there are many market hiking routes in the neighborhood of Hveragerði, including Reykjadalur where you can bath in a hot stream.   In Hveragerði there is a lot of hot springs to take a look at and it is easy even to take a walking trip to Hveragerdi from our house as it is only a 40 minutes’ walk.   There are two horse rentals in the neighborhood and at the South part of Iceland there are many wonderful places to visit on your own such as Gullfoss, Geysir, Þingvellir, Vestmannaeyjar, Reynisfjara and many more. 
Our house is a modern one floor wooden house built in 2005 (265 m2). It has 5 bedrooms, a large kitchen/dining room, a living room, television room, double garage and a wooden veranda with hot tub, two bathrooms and a laundry room.
Our garden is quite big and partly wild nature as the piece of land belonging to the house is more than 80.000 m2.    Closest to the house we have the actual garden with flowers, lawn, trees, sandpit and a play house.  Also we have our own small football field with one football goal and a trampoline with a safety net.  
If you like a good view there is a wide panorama view from the house overlooking the Ölfus - region in SW - Iceland towards the coast and the villages Eyrarbakki, Stokkseyri and Þorlákshöfn, Skálafell and Hellisheiði. 

There are a lot of things to do for families in Iceland; especially of you are found of the nature (see below).
Best regards,
Þorbjörg and Stefán
