Hestbækvej 85

BY LIMFJORDEN

If there is one thing classic Swedish building style excels at, it is charm. And you get it in abundance at Hestbækvej 85, in the scenic surroundings of Himmerland – just a few minutes’ walk from Limfjorden. Welcome to a ready-to-move-into house with ground-source heating and solar panels. If you and your family want biodiversity, to keep animals or to be self-sufficient, this property is just the thing for you.

As you approach along the private dead-end gravel track, the water lies hidden on the horizon behind deciduous trees and pines. Then you see the yellow-painted wooden house, which looks every bit the Swedish country cottage, with small-paned windows and a little veranda that reaches up to the first-floor balcony. So you get a very cosy welcome in the large courtyard.

The whole property has just over 2,24 ha of land, all of it adjoining the farmhouse. There is also a machinery shed of almost 300 m², with access from the gravel road, a cast concrete floor, light and water, high ceilings and ample room for storage of every kind. All in all, there are many possibilities with so much space, and there is already a paddock with water, a large loose-housing barn with water and an insulated room, if you are thinking of keeping animals – perhaps you dream of horses? In addition, an orangery of a good 30 m² was built in 2014, from which the beautiful view over all the greenery can be enjoyed in the company of friends, family, wine and good food, whatever the weather.

And now to the house, which was built in 2005. There is underfloor heating and a heat recovery ventilation system throughout, giving a healthy indoor climate. Everything works as it should, and the house can be divided into two homes; there used to be a kitchenette in the utility room, where there are cupboards, worktops, a sink, a freezer and a fridge. Add a cooker and you have a functional kitchen. The house includes a handful of large rooms, living areas on both floors, a bathroom on each floor (one with a sauna) and a utility room with an adjoining plant room. On the ground floor, the kitchen, family room and living room flow into one, so conversation can carry across the generous square metres – it is simply cosy here.

Idyll is the overarching theme of this rural, charming property. The water is just a brisk little walk away, and you will find a bit more atmosphere in Hvalpsund and at its harbour, which you can drive to in just over five minutes. There are also shops there, and the children’s everyday life takes them to Ullits Skole (1 km), where well-being is a priority. Children can attend here up to and including 6th grade, after which they can continue at Farsø Skole. There is also Børnehuset Fjorden, a childcare centre 2,4 kilometres from your new base.

We look forward to meeting you at a viewing.
