Himmelbjergvej 29

Do you dream of family life in the heart of Søhøjlandet, Denmark’s Lake District, with nature right outside your door, in a village with a thriving community and a real buzz of life?
At Himmelbjergvej 29 in Laven stands the house "Søblink", which has all this and more.

You are welcomed into a bright and spacious entrance hall, and you sense straight away that this is a lovely place to be. From here you enter the heart of the house, the architect-designed kitchen in calm natural colours, made of birch veneer with green linoleum fronts. A cosy dining nook with bench seating sets the scene for everyday family moments. From the kitchen, the garden door opens onto the terrace, which extends the living space in summer. The adjoining living room with its wood-burning stove has room for a sofa, a dining table and relaxing on the bench by the bay window overlooking the lake. The ground floor also has a bathroom with a shower and a good-sized room currently used as a treatment room. If you would like a different layout, the wall to this room can easily be removed to enlarge the living room.

Two more rooms are on the first floor, from where there is access to a second terrace. The living room has a balcony and an unobstructed view of the lake and the hills. Here you could also set up a study, TV room or studio, as the light is lovely. The first floor also has a bathroom and a landing.
In the converted loft you will find a charming, bright and very usable room with a fantastic view of Himmelbjerget.

Finally, the house has a basement that is put to good use and covers your practical needs, with a utility room, a boiler room with a wood pellet boiler, a pantry and a couple of spare rooms that can serve as a workshop, storage and a guest room. The house has been upgraded with a solar thermal collector and solar panels with a battery.

Outside, the house is surrounded by a lovely, sunny garden with varied planting. There are fruit trees, berry bushes, a herb garden, flowers and a small pond. Nature comes close here, as the frogs croak in spring, the birds sing and the hedgehog snuffles about at dusk. Warm summer evenings can be enjoyed in the garden’s cosy corner under the grapevine, with pizza from your own pizza oven.

As for outbuildings, you get a shed, a garage and a driveway with room for two cars, including an EV charger. Søblink sits on a south-facing slope, which gives shelter in the garden and carries rainwater away.

Laven lies on the shore of Julsø and has a small harbour and a bathing jetty, so you can take a dip all year round. The countryside is well used for walks and runs, kayaking, SUP and more. There is a sports club (LLIF) and an active residents’ association that organises lots of events, including the annual summer party (see more at Laven.dk). The second-hand bookshop in the middle of the village is a cosy meeting place and a cultural hub. Many families with children have moved here in recent years and, among other things, hold communal dinners together. There are childminders, a nursery and several schools in the local area. Aarhus C is 35 minutes away by car or train.

This house and this village have to be experienced, as the energy and atmosphere here are truly special.
