A Renovated 1900 Cottage near the Beach in Denmark – $300,000

Tucked away from the hum of city life, yet close to both forest and beach, this truly special (holiday) home offers a rare sense of calm and privacy. It’s the kind of place you escape to when you want to slow down.

The cottage is beautifully secluded. Wonderfully so. Here, peace reigns, broken only by life in the garden, where hares occasionally pass through with deer in tow, birdsong fills the air, and even owls have been known to stop by. Nature isn’t just nearby; it’s part of everyday life.

The southwest-facing garden is an invitation to linger outdoors. The terrace, finished with elegant travertine paving, is ideal for relaxed barbecues and long summer evenings. As night falls, the campfire becomes the natural gathering point.

From the garden, a short 300-meter walk leads you to a child-friendly beach with fine sand and shallow water. There’s even the option to keep a small boat by the shore. Beyond the beach, the surrounding area opens into peaceful forestland with lovely walking and running routes.

Despite the sense of retreat, the home is remarkably accessible. The drive from Kolding takes just under half an hour, making spontaneous weekends away both easy and tempting.

The holiday home underwent a comprehensive renovation between 2018 and 2020. All electrical installations were replaced, plumbing was updated, and the solid, well-maintained thatched roof was refreshed by a roofer in 2020. Skylights were added the same year, and the interior was thoroughly modernized, resulting in a home that feels both inviting and refined.

On the ground floor, a charming country-style eat-in kitchen welcomes you with exposed ceiling beams, a modern gas stove, and ample space for a dining table. From here, you step directly out onto the terrace.

The living room is rich in atmosphere, centered around the wood-burning stove and designed for cozy moments together. This level also features a room with a beautiful checkerboard floor and a modern bathroom with a shower and underfloor heating beneath dark granite tiles. A new sewage system has been installed for the bathroom.

From the entrance hall, there is access to a practical laundry room with space for a washing machine. Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor, where two spacious rooms await. Both are filled with natural light from the skylights and finished with new solid pine floors.

The house is listed for sale at Nybolig.
